Awful. Gimmick. Dont buy it.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing worked for less than a day. After that, it would not stay connected to wifi even though it was less than 12 inches away from the router. When it did work, it took almost 30 seconds after a motion event to start recording. (I tested it by walking in front of it several times) Although i was able to receive motion detection alerts if i was in the same room as the guardzilla unit, it did not detect motion events consistently. This was most likely due to the fact that it could not stay connected to the wifi router. Lastly i would say that the two way speaker was useless. It did not function even when i was in the room with the guardzilla unit. I was never able to monitor anything away from my home, once again because it kept getting disconnected from the wifi. Promptly returned and got something else.

Worst Camera I have ever purchased!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Guardzilla is by far the worst camera I have ever purchased. It connected to my internet at home but as soon as I leave my house it will no longer connect, and yes, I have tried all of the troubleshooting on their website. I just downloaded the updated APP and there are no settings to test signal or change anything, not even password/username! It's a stupid black screen with 5 buttons that go nowhere. Don't buy Guardzilla as a security system, put the money towards one that will actually work!!

Great low price security camera
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been using it for a week. Very easy to set up. Picture is clear. Night vision works well. Alarm triggered every time I tested it. Never lost internet connection from remote location. Text and email notifications worked every time. Very happy with it so far. Great piece of mind when out of town. Think I will try the outdoor version next.

Camera indoor for simple monitoring
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this product, my 1st after a year was shutting off, I tried another brand,nothing good. Guardzilla has good resolution, easier to setup, recording is not the best, but if you want to monitor and get alerts it is great. Went to purchase a 2nd unit.

Works great & can't beat the price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have two Guardzillas. One for home, one for my office. For the price point, they're an excellent purchase. There can be some sticky points with configuration at first, but once that's over, they work great! Nice to see what's happening when away...and get alarms should anything happen. Adds peace of mind.

Do not buy!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased 3 of these cameras. I installed per the app and they worked as long as my phone was on the WiFi in my house. They couldn't go past my router. I called tech support (a difficult task to find the phone number) and they said the port range from 41000-65535 had to be opened for it operate. I called Cox Cable to have them open the ports and the flatly refused. tried to connect through Century Link and had the same problem. Junk do not buy.

Good little camera
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted a small and reasonably priced camera for checking on my dog while I was away. She has separation anxiety and I wanted to see just how and what she was doing. This camera fit the bill! Very reasonably priced and great picture even in the dark. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one.

Would not stay connected & stopped working
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Started out great, although a little slow to link to app. Then eventually stopped connecting to WiFi and then stopped working all together. Thought maybe just a bad unit, Got another one, and same thing. Didn't realize it till later, but keep charging me for app/cloud storage even though camera was not hooked up to service. Worst, would not recommend for anyone or anything.

had trouble for me
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the guardzilla home security and had a couple of problems. At first I could not get the unit to alarm even walking directly in front of it. I called tech support and they made some changes on their end and I also played with the sensor settings and camera settings with no luck. Later the unit worked sporadically but would not text or email me when alarm was set. Again tech tried to help me with no luck. Too bad, seems like a very good quality unit. I hope it works for you.

Liked it so much I bought another one
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have had Guardzilla for nearly a year and it has worked very well for our situation. we have it on all the time but rely on it when we are away for our main home weeks at a time. It has worked so well I have another one ordered for our vacation home.
