Not worth the $$$
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's advertised as coming with an HD Camera. The packaging says HD, but the camera is a huge disappointment. It's not worth the money and if you intend to use it for security, you would never be able to convict because the camera quality is very poor. I called their customer service and over 2 weeks of wasted time, they gave me the runaround. I finally took the item back and got a refund. Best Buy is great, but this item is not!

Garbage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I could not get the app to allow me to view the camera outside of my home WiFi network. After working with Guardzilla customer service for two weeks, and still no luck, they simply stopped responding to my emails. And, of course, Best Buy will not take the product back.

so not worth the money
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.right now I cant see live feed, called 2 times before the date was up to return and no one got back to me. when they did, I was told I cannot return. so now it only records movement. I need a replacement because I have kids and leave them with people I want to look in on.

Never could get it to connect
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ended up having to take this back to best buy after numerous tries to get it connected to my network. I even sent 2 service requests to tech support with no response. I dont recommend this even if you can get it connected due to lack of tech support. I replaced it with the camera fron insignia. Called tech support and emailed and they responded within 24 hours.

Pathetic.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's just a cheap plastic toy. Except, it's not cheap. Thank God I could return it. The video is terrible. The audio is terrible. Its difficult to connect to WiFi. It claims to save video but there is no way to access anything but live grainy video. Speaking of which, the video is 240p at best, not 1080 and I have a 100mb wifi connection.

great untill an iphone patch was set
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.dec 24 an Iphone patch was sent out and disabled my phone. Tech support was no help and didn't return my calls. Had to return to store for a loss of $20 because it went on sale and only gave me sale price. Not in their sales record. It's a shame because I loved the product for 3 months till it quit.

Defective
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my moms house and set it all up and every time I exited the app the whole set up restarted causing me to have to go through the tedious process of connecting and setting up the camera every time I wanted to use it. Also, monthly charge to record data?? Laaaame!!!
