I got this for our upcoming baby so that we could keep tabs even if we were away from the home. This is a great camera. It has excellent video quality both day and night. It is packed full of features and the the app for the iPhone is great. I highly recommend this model. Pros: -Great Quality -Motion Detection is great, and you can customize an area on the screen to detect motion, so no cars driving by alerting you. -Free app is packed full of features. Music, Pre-record audio bits, 2 way communication -Alerts upload photos of the event to google drive Cons: -Audio alerts are a bit sensitive -Motion alerts can be triggered by time change (shadows or loss of light) -Awkward size, it is kind of top heavy and wants to topple on occasion if not mounted down.

This is, what I expect will be my final Samsung SmartCam HD Pro Wireless High-Definition Security Camera purchase. Final, not because the cameras have issues, but 'final', in that I have each of these covering the desired area of my home. I chose to upgrade to these 'fixed position' Samsung's SmartCam HD after my years of experience using 'articulated' Foscam branded cameras. While the Foscams worked well enough, I found that their field of view was too narrow, and while the price was far less, I found that my failure rate of Foscam product to be rather high. This is not the case with the Samsung SmartCam HD Pro Wireless High-Definition Security Cameras. The wide field of view for these cameras eliminates the need to have a camera that I can remotely pan or tilt. The clarity of the images is top notch, and while the cameras are not rated for use out of doors (as was my previous camera), I have managed to mount one, outside, deep underneath the overhang of my front porch. I find the SmartCam HD Pro Wireless High-Definition Security Camera to be superior in almost every way, with few exceptions. I have no simple way to remotely access, and offload captured images or video. To do this, I must physically remove the MicroSD card from the camera, changing the alignment in the process of doing so. I have begun to research to see if anyone has discovered a way to FTP into the camera, so that content may be copied off and archived. In addition to this, the power cable is fairly short for most placements. An optional power extension cable would be fantastic! Other than that, these are a major step up. I have coverage over my entire front porch, garage, basement, and yard/patio, and I have it all integrated nicely into SmartThings.

I've purchased many wifi camera and the one thing I disliked the most was the delay. I liked watching exactly as things happened. The second was how complicated they were to connect to wifi. This camera has no delay, amazing night vision with great picture quality and connecting to the wifi was a breeze. It even comes with a cable to connect directly to the modem if you can't over WiFi. I highly recommend this monitor. I have peace of mind every day and night when I'm away from home or when my babies are sleeping in their room. Another bonus is the wide angel. I can see the ENTIRE room
