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.

    Resolution is pretty good, Setup is a little harder than average if it doesn't quite complete first time and you have to do a reset.

    We weren't sure about this product because set-up wasn't easy. We had to use tech assistance to get it set up for the first time. The nice part about the support was it was advertised 24/7 and this was true. There was someone to help with the set up on Mother's day, in the evening to our surprise, the down side was we spent an hour on the phone for set-up. Up side, the camera works great, wide viewing of the room, we were impressed and for a great price.

    The cameras have gone off line quite a bit. They will record when you cant find the movement that triggered it and stop recording and skip time blocks of stuff you really needed to see. In my case when tbe dog sitter was taking things that didnt belong to her. Hence the reason i bought these. You must remove sim card to view the entire footage of what was caught which is an emtreme pain. Will most likely return them.

    The only thing wrong with this camera is the fact that you can’t pan it. Besides that, probably the best camera out there for the money!

    I bought this camera because I did my research. If you need: 1. Monitoring w/ audio 2. Decent picture quality for a small room 3. Motion and sound detection 4. Low upstream bandwidth via wifi/video compression to an SD card This is the camera for you. It won't break the bank but gets the job done for a simple indoor monitoring camera.

    I have installed a few different cameras as I enjoy learning how &which ones work better.it depends on what application you want to use it for.this 1 does not do night vision well through a window(it blinds itself)but with adequate outdoor lighting it works well & has an SD slot.it is great to see what is going on in a room your not in and the night vision(IR)works well when facing inward.not bad for the price.

    Struggled to get it set up. That was not an easy process.. called into customer support several times. They were very professional and helpful, and solved my set up issues. It was connected and working great as long as I was in the house. However, after that, I left the house, and loss connectivity. Not happy about that.

    I already had a DLink camera and so this one just loaded as another in my APP. Pro: The camera is good for the price pro: you get on board recording via SD card Pro: no monthly fees to monitor Con - the software to configure it leaves something to be desired (seemed kind of hard to set up) Con - The cord is pretty short (power) Con - no cloud - so if the card (camera) is lost or stolen - so is the video

    Had a bit of issues first hooking up--sometimes the Dlinks are better to setup first and worry about the firmware updates later. Has a very good view--I use a card in it to record video. Like the base of it--allows you to angle and rotate the camera for better views. This would be my 4th Dlink camera and by far the best one so far.

    Set this camera and two others in my dog kennel to keep an eye on momma’s and puppies. Works good day and night, hot or cold (yes, it’s outside). The WiFi range is good and the video quality is better than average. The only thing I don’t like is the “tools bar” that pops up on the viewing screen. I can’t find a way to get rid of it, this blocks a small part of the bottom of the screen.
