Customers are saying

Customers recognize the HD Wi-Fi Camera's excellent camera quality, ease of use, and effective night vision as significant strengths. Many also appreciate its reasonable price and wide field of view, although some experienced difficulties with initial setup and occasional connectivity problems. A few users mentioned challenges with the app and the need to purchase an SD card separately. Overall, the positive feedback on image quality and usability outweighs the reported issues with setup and connectivity.

    This camera can serve its purpose, but the video quality and connectivity on the app are not the best. I took it back.

    Bought this camera because I was under a budget. Quality was good but notifications for any motion recording didn't work.

    I bought this on an urgent basis when my original Samsung, bought at a deep discount, stopped functioning within 2 days of use. This one was actually cheaper and continues to work. It was powered 24-7 from battery pack to record contractor activity at our home. The recording was on the on-board SD card. The app to remote control was also way better than what Samsung offered, if not missing some perky features. The mounting mechanism could be more flexible. It is basically hinged to a round base, so the base would need to be turned to make it pan, giving only one degree of freedom when the base is complexity fixed.

    This item works amazing. Easy set-up, good picture quality. But, the range is terrible. About 15-20 ft for good quality.

    So far, so good. Setup was easy and no problems to report. A longer cord for the adapter would be an improvement, as would a more versatile tilt/positioning design, but I was aware of those limitations prior to purchase.

    I was hesitant to buy this because the price was lower than other cameras but it works just as well as much higher price cameras. Perfect single camera for a small space

    The camera was very easy to get setup and view while in home on my android device. I had to turn off my firewall in order to view it in a browser and haven't found solution to view it without web protection. I've struggled to access my camera remotely while at the office. If I can't resolved the remote access, i'll be returning it as what is the point of warnings if I can't see whats happening?

    The software is the problem

    The camera itself is fine, picture quality is very good, set up was easy and the price was right. The problem is the software, I still can't view recorded video off my SD card over their software and I can't change the incorrect date unless I'm on a PC which didn't work either. I would not buy this product again and I would spend a little bit more for a system with better software.

    great little camera. i use it to record what goes on in my apartment. however, it's a bit slow.. the wire to power it on is too short (had to buy a separate longer wire), the firmware is updated regularly but can "brick" the device easily.. I would upgrade to another version if you have the budget. however if you need IP cameras on a budget, this might be your first option. i use a free program called "ispy" for windows and sync the folder to dropbox to access it mobile.

    These cameras works very well. Had to purchase for my grandma so we could keep a eye on her during the day/night. Thinking about purchasing a couple more for my home.

    I own a small business and have 4 of these cameras. I try to make the best of them. I cannot always run 4 at the same time because they simply just freeze up. The quality is okay but definitely not the best.

    Great Wi-Fi camera for indoor. Resolution is acceptable and internet access is the main reason for this D-Link camera. Sometimes the internet link is inaccessible but work in the second connection trial.
