Review on πŸ“· LaView Home Security Camera System with Motion Detection, Two-Way Audio, Night Vision, Indoor WiFi Camera for Baby/Pet, Alexa, USA Cloud Service, Black (R3) + 2X 32GB SD Cards by Brandon Reid

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great, with a few small problems.

Given the price, easy setup and app, it's hard not to recommend. Please note that due to connection restrictions on this internet connection, the app may not work if you are using a working WiFi network. The apps are not to blame. The camera has a little blue light to let you know it's on and recording, and there's a setting to turn the light off so it's more hidden. However, it kind of defeats the purpose when you turn the light down and the red infrared light stands out in the dark. Not a big problem, just be aware. In rooms with poor lighting, they are not completely invisible. Comes with several different mounting options, or you can just put them in the corner somewhere. They are very small which is great. Probably the size of an avocado or something. You don't need cloud storage (someone else's computer) to run them. They work with a card up to 128 GB and overwrite the oldest recordings. The app could be improved a bit. For example, there is a record button. Once you set them up, they will be recorded as long as privacy mode is not turned on. And they keep recording until you switch privacy mode. What is the button for? Also, scrolling through recorded footage can be tedious if you need to go back more than a few hours. Maybe a day selection or something similar. You just have to keep scrolling and scrolling the timeline slider. Didn't try to take out the cards to look at them on the laptop. Maybe it's easier there. Generally very happy with them. The latest set from another brand had to be configured on the computer, after which you could view it from the application, but all changes had to be made using a separate configuration utility, which was also installed on the computer. You don't have any of those annoying things. If you plug something into the outlets and hold your phone still for a few seconds to pair the cameras one by one, you're 90% there. The rest is to adapt them to what you want the application to do.
