Review: Great video control, excellent night time recording and good overall quality. - If you go back a few years, a camera with motorised functions cost hundreds of pounds. Fortunately technology has moved on and price continued to fall, so now we have units like this one affordable to pretty much anyone. This camera has plenty of functions and records in decent quality video, at 720P. This is my preferred resolution as it provides the best compromise between size and quality in my view. Lower resolution and images are much less clear, and higher produces very large files. I bought this for home security and it was fairly easy to set up. An app has to be downloaded and username and password created (there's also an email confirmation element). Then to register the camera, take a scanning photo of the base, which identifies its unique number to the App. That's pretty much job done, though there are plenty of options regarding notifications, sensors and so on (App screen shot attached). The two way audio is a nice feature, particularly useful for pets and children. I've initially set this up in my office. First impressions are very promising, I particularly like the night vision capability, though it's completely dark to the naked eye, the camera infrared light picks up pretty much everything in excellent clarity (see video). Sure there's a bit of artefact generation on panning the camera, but that's not something you'll do much. On record I also found the movement functions were slow to respond, but this doesn't present a significant issue. The design is good, and the range of movement excellent. I need to buy (yet) another SD card to test the on board recording ability as I have so many devices using them now (GoPro, Drone, Camera, Video Camera, Waterproof Camera, and 2 Dashcams!) that I have no spares! But thus far it works as expected and gives impressive results. I just have to decide the best location for mounting permanently... Review: Great camera, exacrly what we needed! - Ordered this camera to go in my baby tortoises' box, after recently getting home to find one of them had fallen on their back and got stuck. Thankfully we had got home in time. This camera can pan across the whole table, and can even check on our kitchen too! Picture quality is really good. We are yet to try it out at night, but I'm confident it'll be good. Voice feature works well, and the mobile app is really easy to operate. It was fine to set up, and we had it up and running in 5 or 10 minutes from the box being delivered. The product works well both on our home WiFi, and on mobile signal when out. The app has occasionally frozen, but nothing that exiting and reopening didn't solve. Great product, great value for money, and really pleased we chose this one.

Good product
Please with this. It was easy to set up the only issue I had is where I first wanted to put it the WIFI reciever wasnt strong enough. I'm only guessing it was the devices as I had a strong wifi signal on my phone. I moved it to another location and its working fine monitoring the entry to my conservatory. I would recomend this.

Great cctv camera, solid build and sharp image. Ideal for security and pet cam :)
I have had a couple of different cameras before, but these are wonderful! (I purchased 2) For the price you will not find better (bought with prime for ยฃ50 with discount). PROS - Very easy to set up, solid design (feels weighty and strong unlike most cameras). looks and feels much more expensive than it was. Picture quality very sharp, vivid and clear. App is easy to use and so is panning camera, very responsive. Sound through camera is clear and so is voice. CONS - (Ignore the Con if you don't intend to fix the camera to a wall or celling) the bracket is poor and looks silly attached to camera, but this is only an issue if you want to mount it on a wall or ceiling. I almost feel unfair writing this comment, as the bracket is fairly standard on many cameras, but it is not good. Personally I bought a M5 double edged screw and fixed the camera to my ceilings, so it fits flush as in pictures, now it looks great. Overall would definitely recommend it as a top quality device for the money, excellent value. I use mine to monitor the dog when I am away and to check the house when i am not there for security. 5 stars!

Useless
Don't usually write reviews but this product is so poor that I felt I had to warn others. Firstly this is not my first experience with security cameras so I am able to compare. The set-up is the only good point - it is easy but the fact that it comes with a quick start guide implies there is a fuller manual with further explanations of settings, there isn't even though I contacted the seller asking for one. They did try to answer some questions but carefully avoided dealing with others even after referring to their technical department. This may be of use as a baby monitor or for pets as suggested by other reviews but for security it is useless. Camera picture - average and only any good on HD setting Motion detection - you must be kidding. This thing only sends an alert (records) when it changes from day to night or vis a versa OR when a light goes on (no motion). I set it up in an unused room adjusting the sensitivity by increments of 5% over several days. It always alerted when the light level changed e.g. night to day but not when I walked by 8 feet away. You have to be so close that by that time the intruder has pulled it down and trashed it and any record of their image with it. Alerts - sends them to my mobile device but not to my pc. I could go on but there are so many aspects that make this useless as a security camera it would be a list. Baby monitor possibly, security - don't buy. Mine is now a very expensive plastic ornament. Update - Having had this working wirelessly and only using it as a viewer not as alert and having switched it off for a couple of days I am now unable to connect either through wifi or through wired connection. This is not the first time I have switched it off but is the longest period. It is also the first since I left the first review. Either the equipment is faulty and does not last or something has interfered with the software (I have changed nothing). Have tried a hard re-set, no luck. Seriously suggest you avoid this product.

This is the best wireless camera I have ever had
This is the best wireless camera I have ever had. It can be placed on a table or a stand. It also comes with a wall bracket to be mounted on a wall. You just simply plug it into a power line. I have mine plugged into a tower power supply next to my rooter. Plug it into your internet rooter. Install the app either for your iPhone or Android phone or tablets. Enter the internet details and password and away you go. The picture is crystal clear both during the day and in the dark during the night. It's an excellent burglar deterrent as you can speak through the camera to who ever is in the room. I use mine to keep an eye on my pet birds. It has a zoom facility and you can rotate the camera to any angle. You can also use it whilst your away from your home. I use it whilst I'm in work, just to keep a check on things. All in all this is an excellent camera and I wouldn't hesitate in buying another one.

amazing wireless camera
I bought this camera very well, and I don't have to worry about the situation of my baby in the room when I go to the cooking. amazing wireless camera. The quality is really good the camera can turn around 360ยฐ and up and down. The design is really plain but modern. Leave the camera in a rooom and wstch everything on your phone with really good quality recording. means you can see almost everywhere where the camera is located. Any sudden movemnt in the room and the camera will turn to that place and you can clearly see anyting.
