Great low cost protection for small indoor area
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been very satisfied with the unit, some issue with the auto arm / disarm. It works but overnight it was arming and disarming repeatedly. I only noticed it on the history list. Otherwise it is awesome. If I don't disarm it, I get a text before I can lock the door when I come home.

Simple and works well
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We use it primarily for an extra edge for watching the grandchildren. When you can check on them when they are sleeping without opening the door, or tell them to lay down, or know when they wake up without being the one to wake them, it is a great tool and well worth the expense.

It's good
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought 1 camera, then bought 2. The picture quality is fairly good. However there is a delay when someone passes in front..... I went to get a 3rd but they don't sell them anymore.

Great for simple pet watching
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't know why there are all these bad reviews for this camera, I simply bought this for watching my pet at home and what shes been up to. First off the camera was very simple to install and connect and the user interface is very friendly and simple. The video feed reaction time is within milliseconds so im happy about that. Also color and nightvision works very well. The Two Way microphone is pretty cool also. If you are looking for a simple pet camera with 720p HD video this works perfect. Also there are now cloud possibilities to store your video. When it comes down to it this whole thing was only $100 and well worth it. And one of the biggest things is there are no monthly fees for using this camera.

Love it
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have 2 guardzilla and all of them works fine... I'm planing to get one more. This is the cheapest camera and very useful. The siren is too loud, easy to navigate the app, the cloud is fantastic.

Inexpensive, Descent and Simple to Use
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: inexpensive, easy to use/set up, complete system(camera/alarm/motion alert/2way audio/micro did card slot for recording) Cons: not HD quality, quite big, can't mount on wall, not 180 degree angle Summary: Descent and inexpensive security camera for a small area (i.e. Dorm room, garage, condo).

Excellent. One small draw back.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product. One small draw back. When you open Gaurdzilla's app to camera, the camera doesn't always respond right away to the app';s commands. When this happens, you have to completely exit out of the app and re-open the app to access settings, camera, and other things listed in the app.

Good value for the price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Use this item in my summer home. Can keep an "eye" on the contents of the unit at anytime without any monitoring cost. Alerts me of any motion detection wherever I may be. Am happy with my purchase of the Guardzilla.

night vision poor
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to setup. Like the all-in-one concept. Easy to add more units for extra coverage. Don't like that you can't set the siren different for each unit on the system (all are on or all off). Several days since I asked a question by email and got no response.

Happy with Camera
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are very happy with the Guardzilla. It is easy to set up and link to your cell phone and we have used it when on vacation a couple of times with no issues. We like that it turns from color into night vision (black & white) as well. Image is SUPER sharp and clear. We tested the siren and it is deafening! The speaker feature is awesome as well. My only frustration is it goes offline from time to time and you have to unplug it, count to 10, and plug it in again. I have discovered it is a function of our internet, which is spotty from time to time. This happens with my computer as well. So it is not a Guardzilla issue. Other than that, very happy with the unit. Would definitely recommend it.

LED's not working 1st week of use!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Disappointed about the quality of this item. During the first week of use the LEDs around the lens started to go out. My knowledge of LEDs is that they require low voltages and are a very unlikely item to burn out UNLESS they are cheaply made. All the new cars have LEDs in them and they are designed to last. A friend of mine who manufactures electronic items went over the details comparing one manufacturer to another. He went over one electrical part and compared it in quality to another. Long story short.....if this camera has LEDs burning out the first week of use? What else is built cheap inside? I took it back. I bought a Samsung Smartcam HD plus....yes it was more expensive but the quality is far superior than the guardzilla. I said WOW what a difference...others who saw the difference agreed the Samsung was WAY Better. I have to say though....I liked the guardzilla app for the phone better than the Samsung. Guardzilla had a smoother user friendly interface.Both cameras had a microsim slot, motion detection and microphone capabilities. Samsung had a barking dog, siren or lullaby you could set enable. Samsung had sound only recording detection as an option too. This new smart home/phone technology is great! I believe some 5 star reviews about the coolness of the this technology rather than a comparison with other cameras. Get this one and another one...then you will know.

Did not work for me
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First time I bought Gardzilla I had a hard time to connect and tried the online tutorials for help and after hours would connect but could not view while I was away. I returned it and exchanged it for the Canary and the Canary was so easy to set up and had no problem but for now the Canary dose not have audio but will soon have it. But I wanted to try it one more time to see if I can get Gardzilla to work so I bought it again. I had the same problem even with the second Gardzilla but this time I called Gardzilla support for help. Waited for 10 minutes then talked to a girl that was helping me trying to connect and working but around 23 minutes on the phone the line to the support member dropped and I was on my own again with a none working security camera. I will be returning it again to the store and will be staying with the Canary, the sure thing that works for me. I see that there are many customers that bought Gardzilla and works for them and are happy but any thing that is going to take days to work is not for me.

A great simple camera to set up
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased two fo these cameras and they have performed great. They give us a wide angle to view our rooms without looking distorted. We are looking to buy two more soon.

Do not buy
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these and they do not stay connected to wifi. I called Gaurdzilla tech support and they finally said to send them back for an exchange. They were 7 days old at the time i returned them. I was told 5 to 6 days turn around. I called after 3 weeks and they said they were waiting for more units. I called at the 5 week point and they said they shipped. I waited till the 6 week point and finally got them back. I set them up and in 1 day they both were offline and would not stay connected. So i called Gaurdzilla and told them what the deal was and the guy asked is it past 30 days since you bought them. And i laughed and said yes because you took 6 weeks to send them back to me. He said sorry if it is past the 30 days He can not give a refund. I said wait a minute, your company is the reason it is past the 30 days and your not going to give my money back? He said with an i dont care voice,,,"thats correct sir". And i said WOW thats amazing. I thought about giving them to someone i know but i do not dislike anyone that much. DO NOT BUY THESE. They are not good. And as you read there customer service stinks. BAD!!! I got Net Gear ARLO cameras and they are perfect and only a few bucks more. I guess i will use these for dummy cameras. Maybe they will work for that.
