great for watching one area in your home
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great if you only want to watch one area or room in your home or garage. Picks up almost any sound made even in another room. Camera is very light in weight and hard keep from moving. (ex. if the cord moves the camera moves) I set something on the cord to keep it from moving.

Pretty good for our indoor system
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does exactly what we purchased it for..adds another layer of security to our home. Takes video, stills and at any time you can turn on speakers to hear if there is someone in your home. My only complaint is camera shutter sound is noisy . Wish it was silent. Would buy add on units.

Bought it for peace of mind
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for peace of mind when traveling to check on my pups. This is just ok. Frequently it has connection issues and has to be unplugged and plugged back in. Not convenient when traveling.

You get what you pay for
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found this camera to be of low quality resolution, which wasn't exactly my biggest complaint. I knew the issue with the image quality before purchase but decided to give it a shot anyways. My biggest disappointment is with the user interface of Guardzilla. The interface constantly crashes at random points and the settings do not sync properly. I can't tell you how many times I had to re-apply my settings for them to work. I figured the issue was that the app was having troublea syncing between my phone and tablet, so I did a total factory reset on the camera and set it up only with my phone. To no avail, I'll probably have to reset all my settings later tonight. If you're looking for a cheap camera that will cover the basics, absolutely buy this camera If you're someone who is more interested in advanced functionality and/or a higher quality camera, I'd continue shopping.

Good value for under $100
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For under $100 this is a good camera which does the job. It is easy to use the app and monitor the video remotely or "arm" it to set up motion activation alerts. Initially, I had to tweak the sensitivity of the alerts as any change in sunlight would set it off - which sends an alert to your phone. One thing to know,, I have found there is a 10 second to one minute delay in being alerted to activity. Usually almost a minute (probably depends on connections) so its good to purchase a separate micro-sd card to always record in case you miss something.

Good value.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works pretty well, mobile app needs some work. Would be awesome if you could view the recorded video from the app, but the only way to do so is to remove the micro SD card from the device and put it in another device to read it. Video quality is low, which is what I was looking for. Good motion detection.

Guardzilla 'wireless' cam
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The term 'wireless' is miss-leading imo. You still need to plus anyone I have researched to consider for buying. This home cam is easy to set up but lacks quality instructions for the sd card that you can also use in them. Distance factors in for cam quality as well. Otherwise it is a pretty good choice.

Perfect and Shocking
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought two cameras for our school to observe the entrance. Great cameras and easy to install. The app on iOS or PC allows me to look in on things from my phone! I was shocked and have no idea how it works. But I use it every day.

It works well for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It does work well enough especially for it's low cost. It did take a couple of calls to their help line to get it to work correctly. There were a couple instructions that were not entirely clear which support helped with.

Easy setup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera is the easiest setup on the market. This is the definition of plug and play, like the night vision also.

Great for the money.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Guardzilla was easy to set up and works like it should. The app works perfectly. We had tried a cheaper product first from another store that we threw in the trash. Would highly recommend.

Security at Low Cost
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy set up, however the instructions did not say that the unit should be in the same room as your wi fi during set up. I learned that while speaking with customer service, which was very knowledgable, professional and friendly. The camera/app give a more than acceptable picture even at night. The alarm is very loud and settings are easy to make using the app. My only negative is that it is hard to reach the camera when in some buildings which may be more of a phone/ provider situation.

Good not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The motion detector function is quite delayed. I can walk by it and get in the house and not be seen. That is with unlocking the door. It is a clear pic though

Better than expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The device is really easy to set up. When I used it over two weeks there were only false alarms caused be sunlight changes at same time of day. Otherwise a good camera image at a medium resolution. Good set of controls on cellphone screen. Detection is up to about 25 feet. Really easy to add cameras. Also I have an ismart system. The Guardzilla is much cheaper. If I had the Guardziila first I would not have bought the other. Recommend as cheap all in one system..

Love it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it. This is my first security cam I have ever bought and liked it so much bought a second one two weeks later . Its was very simple to set up and was up and running in less than 20 to 30 minutes and checking live video feeds from my new smart phone. It also has sd card slot for recording that can be viewed on a pc at a later time.
