CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)

Outstanding Product! Highly Recommended 100 stars!
I want to rave about this incredible product! I’ve tried nearly every HomeKit-compatible smart home camera on the market, and I can confidently say this one stands out in every way. From setup to configuration, placement, and even the build quality, this product surpasses the competition. The attention to detail is remarkable. For example, the camera includes standalone stickers for mounting, so you can place them wherever you want without worrying about adhesive hassles. The privacy shutter, which is controlled through the app, is another thoughtful feature. While it doesn’t support HomeKit, the technology and privacy features make up for it—it’s quick, responsive, and seamless to use. Setup was effortless. I had the cameras installed and running within five minutes, and they’ve performed flawlessly since then. The magnet base, the provided mounting stickers, and even the screws show how much care went into designing this product. Everything is meticulously planned to make installation as smooth as possible. I’ve had disappointing experiences with other brands like Aqara—they’re unreliable and prone to malfunctions. These cameras, on the other hand, are reliable, sturdy, and well-designed. After using them for just a few hours, I was so impressed that I took advantage of the Black Friday sale and purchased a second pair. I’ll definitely be a returning customer! If I could give this product 100 stars, I would. For anyone looking to secure their home with a high-quality, user-friendly camera, I can’t recommend these enough. You won’t regret it!

Id buy again without any hesitation!
Purchased these to monitor a puppy pen during birth and for the next few weeks. Work so well i purchased 2 more for around my home. Use wifi, no subscription, have opened the phone app 2hrs away on a construction site in the middle of nowhere and the video was the same as me sitting at home on the couch around the corner. Sensors for noises including broken glass, movement alerts and amazing settings in app! Like these more than my Arlo home security cameras to be honest.

Love it!!
For the price of this camera, I was really impressed. First, no subscription! That was one of the reasons why I purchased these. It uses memory cards, which is really easy to install. Installation was real easy! Didn't take 5 minutes, but it definitely wasn't a head scratcher. The only bad thing was waiting for both camera's firmware to install. That took the most time. Other than that, I purchased two 256 gb sd cards at $35/each, which is the same annual price for the first year for cloud storage, so I'm good to go!!
