Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the Mini Wireless Camera's clear picture quality and ease of setup. Many appreciate its effective night vision and the affordable price point. While some experienced challenges with internet connectivity, positive feedback on features like motion detection and the wide field of view outweighs these concerns.

    This is a great security camera with a great price. It’s very clear even at night. I bought 2 other kinds before this and they’re way more expensive and doesn’t work as well as this one.

    Great camera to try for First Timers not wanting to spend hundreds. Does the job and works pretty good. It apparently needs More light to stay out of infrared mode. Setup was easy.

    As a former professional installer of security systems and cameras I had hope. I read many reviews and figured I would try it out. I gave it a few days of use before I abandoned all hope. The camera's built in speaker is worthless, it only wispers. Unless you are are sitting in a silent room right beside it, you can't hear it. The app is awful, once I setup the camera the app had to be uninstalled and reinstalled for it to work. The app defaults the camera quality to VGA, everytime you have to hit the LD button to get 720p. The motion detection is a joke. I've tried this on both android and an iPhone. The only notifications that I got were only inside the app, no blinking lights, vibrate, or beeps. Connectivity is intermittent, I got messages like timed out and unable to connect to the server. Sometimes I could fix it by shutting down the app or uninstalling it. I shouldn't have to restart or reboot anything. The app is by far the worst part of this setup, even the two way talk worked intermittently. The camera stays on unless you set timers (modes) in the app. When the camera goes into night vision mode you can hear a loud click. It sounds like something a cheap kids toy would make. Technology has come a long way in the last few years, apparently Zmodo was left behind.

      Sorry for the inconvenience.

      The audio volume can be adjusted via the app.

      The device requires certain internet speed so that the default quality is LD.

      The app will distinguish between two types of events: 

      1) Major motion event. Major motion events occur when motion is detected after a prolonged period without motion (at least 25 minutes). Whenever a major motion event is detected, you will receive an alert on your smartphone, and your device will record a 10 second clip and save a record of the event in the Zmodo app. 

      2)Minor motion event. Minor motion events occur when motion is detected within a short period of time following another motion event (within 20 minutes of the last motion event) after at least 3 minutes without motion. For example, if motion is detected 7 minutes after a major motion event was detected, it will be registered as a minor motion event. However, if motion is detected within 3 minutes of any motion event (major or minor), it will not be registered as a motion event. Whenever a minor motion event is detected, you will not receive an alert on your smartphone, but your device will record a 5 second video clip and save a record of the event in the Zmodo app for you to review at any time. This will make sure that you still have a record of all motion events without receiving unnecessary alerts on your phone. 

      Best,
      Phil

    I just bought a second camera. I like that you can set up more than one camera. Easy set up and picture quality is great in HD. The only negative thing is that the stand is very flimsy.

    The two I got installed fast and easy. Alerts to my phone are prompt. Volume controls in settings made it more louder. My wife was very proud of me for the smooth install and she told me I’m definitely not the ghey.

    I install two of these cameras for friend, who wants to look after her aging mother and son, when he gets home from school. The install went well, the Wi-Fi connected effortlessly and the cameras work.

    It's a good camera. The interface on the app is a little glitchy, doesn't always stay in the mode selected. But good for a cheap and easy camera

    This camera overall is definitely worth the money. Although it doesn't capture EVERY motion, 8 out of 10 times you will see exactly what's happening. This may be due to the placement of my camera or possibly incorrect lighting. I haven't had enough opportunities to know for sure yet. But the notifications that you can recieve are very helpful. Good camera, if it's 45$ and under buy it!

    App is reliable and works well on both Android and iOS. The camera itself is small and image quality is more than acceptable, especially for the price. The intercom feature is useful, but the lag is a bit annoying at times. The night vision works well. The alerts through the app are well thought out and keep quite a long history.
