    Product is OK ... Best Buy is too pushy and sends too many ad-mails.

    The camera works great. Two bad negatives about this camera are it give too many notifications and doesnt have the option to automatically records 24/7 to a hard-drive on a computer. Would recommend to a friend if recording is not a necessity.

    I bought this and I know I am a rare beast that uses Windows Mobile, but it would not work great with it. I have an Android tablet as well and while it worked with the Android tablet, I was still not impressed.

    Back in March 2014, when it first came out, I bought this camera elsewhere because BestBuy.com wasn't selling it yet. The early reviews said that this was THE camera to buy because of its high def night time vision. So we bought one and I can truly say this camera truly has excellent quality day and night vision. It also has adjustable motion detection sensitivity. Plus, you can define up to 3 separate motion detection areas. Great for keeping ceiling fans above the detection zones and wandering pets below the detection zones. We have viewed both live video and playback of stored events using a PC, iPad, iPhone, and Android phone from in our home and from across the country. Access to the camera is controlled at two different levels by two different passwords. All camera settings and features can be controlled from any of the above mentioned devices. Camera can also be triggered by audio events like your dog barking, footsteps, and glass breaking. Setting up the camera on your wifi network is as easy as selecting a displayed network SSID name and then entering the security passphrase. No harder than selecting a wifi network on your smartphone. Camera has no internal memory and can only stream live video unless you install a memory card (max 64gb) to save the events locally. Triggered events can also be uploaded to your Google Picasa account if offsite storage is desired. Which is a good idea for a security camera because a burglar can always just steal the camera with its memory card. Triggered event alarms can also be sent to your email. We installed a 64gb microSDXC memory card locally in the camera and it can take several months to fill up depending on the amount of activity in the detection zones. If desired, the camera can be set to overwrite the older events once the card is full. The memory card can be pulled from the camera and inserted into a computer where the events that were recorded as non-proprietary AVI video files can be stored on the computer and viewed with most media players. On the card, each date an event occurred is a separate directory and the event videos for each date are sequentially numbered AVI files. I recommend using Microsoft's free download RichCopy 4.0 to handle file transfers of this magnitude. Nothing else handles a 64gb transfer of tens of thousands of files as gracefully. We originally bought this camera as a high-end baby monitor for the times our granddaughter visits. It is definitely that and then some. The high def night time image quality quite literally puts other baby monitors to shame. Plus, the Internet capability lets our daughter and son-in-law look in on their daughter from 900 miles away. With the onboard microphone and speaker they were able to participate in playtime, bedtime stories, night prayers, and so on. Microphone sensitivity and speaker volume are controlled remotely. Overall, we are very pleased with this camera and are buying a second one.

    Bought 2, 1 worked for 2 weeks, then never again. Might be the app, despite registering it, it wont recognize the registration now. Never got the second one to work at all.
