Pet Squirrel, Sneaky, Caught in Action

This camera is tiny and does a decent job for $25. The picture can be clearer if you watch it live on your phone and zoom in. I got a 128G micro SD for another $25. But the recording will last for 6 months. I like the fact that I do not need to subscribe to any cloud storage. However, the company gives you option to subscribe. It allows you to turn off the red dot light on the device. This is better at night so that no one knows that there is a surveillance camera. You can also turn on the alarm for motion detector and set up the areas that you want the camera to detect the motion. The camera can be manually tilted up as well.
I got this camera to see when my adopted pet squirrel Sneaky gets home. Sneaky is a Eastern Fox squirrel with a fluffy orange tail. He sleeps inside my flower pot and gets 3 almond nuts from me every day. So, Sneaky is caught in action. As shown in the 2 pictures: 1 taken with the iPhone and 1 using the screen shot of surveillance camera. It is not the best quality but good enough for my purpose to spy on Sneaky.

At the beginning I had my doubts, if it would work well, it seemed very cheap compared to others, but I have already bought 3 and I do not regret it, let's see it connects easily to the wifi I have it 15 meters from the router and two walls in between, the Image is very good and the 2-way audio function is very good, easy to configure the app on the phone, if I recommend it.

Very useful and affordable security for inside the house. I tried placing facing outdoors and it works great during the day. The night time view not so much because the reflection of the glass hampers the view. Overall, its easy to see your recordings on the app on your phone. You choose which recordings to save. Noted there is video on the web (from another country) shows a woman using it in her car (power sourced to her car with the usb) facing her front driver window.
I now have mine facing the entryway at my front door monitoring those coming in and out from my house.
Makes a great gift! I use mine with the SD card.

So many things I love about this product

Love: the clarity of picture even for low-light conditions; long power cord so I don't need an exte sion cord to put the camera up high; strongly-magnetic base so I can just stick it on anything with metal; I can turn off the light on the camera that indicates it's recording (so it's super discreet); I can save recordings on a mini-SD card in the unit so I don't have to subscribe to cloud storage; I can turn off motion notifications with the at-home mode. Also bought the Blink camera when I bought this so that I could compare and choose the better of the two. Hands down, this was the better product for all of the "love" reasons - and it had a better price point to boot!
Don't love, and reason it's not 5-star: it trips and goes offline when my wi-fi is unstable. That probably has more to do with my wi-fi than the unit though.

Well worth the $. We got it on sale for 20.00+tax. We bought it to check in & talk to our dogs when we leave the house for short times. Our one dog is having some separation anxiety & thought this could be of help. It comes w/screws & a magnet to attach to something, but we just have it on the counter for now.

Easy to install/download to my phone. Great inside view area & good alarm. I use a 128 micro card which records 24/7 for up to 8 days. Perfect for the price. Only downside is that I cannot see outside when sun enters in the room. Sunlight blinds the outside view.
ps: never had a problem with my WiFi

EZVIZ - C1C Indoor Wireless 1080p Network Security Camera provides great images anywhere, Forgot to order SD card so have not had a chance to evaluate motion sensor. So far could only have been better if came with SD card. Mounting features very good for low cost

I love these. I've purchased 4 already. They all will show up within the app. I can check on the house from anywhere I have an internet connection. The video is nice and clear. The live view is also a two way microphone. You can speak with each other.

I love these little cameras. They are perfect to stick in a window or mount anywhere. They have a really good image too, especially for the price! Also a memory card slot to easily set up and not have to pay for the monitoring subscription.

Definitely worth the price. I Bought 4 and looking forward to buying more. It does the job it's intended for. Have it viewing outside /indoor. The only problem was the delivery. You Can Zoom In, Screenshot etc. If You Plan On Buying Make Sure You Buy MicroSd Cards to Save Your Recording.

Easy set up, just scan the ur code, easy to tweak settings, nice & clear picture/video, adjustable lighting for "through the window outdoor use", great night vision.
The only thing is you gotta make sure you get a memory card for it. It comes with free 7 day surveillance trial, but after the 7 days, you have to pay monthly for recorded video. If you get the memory card you don't have to worry about that. Definitely a good buy!!!

I purchased these cameras because I wanted to have security without paying for a service. These cameras allow me to do that. Put in a memory card, set it up, and you’re ready to go. Couldn’t be easier. Very good quality cameras and the video and picture quality is top notch. Easy to use too. Very satisfied. Even If I ended up upgrading in the future, These cameras could be utilized in other ways in my home. Couldn’t beat the price too.

These cameras are amazing. Really affordable and does the job. Really easy to set up all you need is a screw driver. I recommend this camera if you are looking for something for indoors. My only issue is the cost for the cloud recordings, it is pretty expensive. Other than that you get you a memory card for each camera and just check it every couple weeks or so.

Can't go wrong for price. Fairly easy to set up. Did have a playback issue, but reset and all good. Uses an SD card for storage so you don't have to use subscription service. Decent video, even at night.

Packaging was simple and directions easy to follow. Note you will need SD card and it has to be plugged in. Cord is long enough for plug easy plug in, but in retrospect probably gone with wireless model instead.

Set-up is simple and quick. The power cord is nice and long. The interface isn't all that easy to use. The image is wide angle and good resolution if you ignore the wide angle scale factor.If you want true security, you need the cloud subscription, but I don't like the price on that. I've seen other cloud cameras email to you when triggered and save image to the cloud for no subscription cost, but those cameras are more expensive than the EZVIZ. Triggered images can be viewed as recorded on the SD card and that is only saved on the SD card. If there ever was a break-in, the camera can alert you and if the thief leaves the camera the SD card will have your evidence/witness on it. If they steal the camera, you better have a cloud subscription or you won't have image evidence.

I was more than a little skeptical about a $25 camera. Not that they don't exist, but experience in the past is there is some catch or limitation. I'm happy to report this is not true with this camera.
Camera hardware is brilliant. Design is brilliant. Mounting is brilliant. I was blown away. I have zero issues there.
Software, well, that is not quite so great. It took the better part of 20 minutes to connect the camera to wifi. Kept having an issue and bombing out. Reset the app and start again. More times that I care to think about. But I finally got it to connect with both my phone and camera sitting literally next to my router. (Less than 1 foot).
After installation I got a notification (in-app) that the camera had an update available. Then an update available. And another update available. Even after installing them all it kept showing the old version number. Until I rebooted my phone the next day.
Next day the app would not connect to the camera via live view or history. Had to reboot the camera to get it back online. Have not had an issue with it since. (3 days)
I don't want to sound like I hate the software, because configuration options are great. Layout is great. Ease of use, 10/10. I just think it needs more testing and refinement and that takes time. I still give it 4.5/5 stars.
