Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy to use. Painstaking assembly

This is an AMAZING little camera. The picture is very clear and easy to use. The app is also very easy to use. I really love this little camera. My problem is that I had to spend about 2 hours trying to figure out how to connect this thing to my Google Home so I can output the channel to my TV because even though it says it works with Google Home, NO instructions in the online manual or small manual. It includes instructions on how to connect to the Revain Echo, but not the Google Home. I had to find a video online from a random person because YouTube Akaso also only shows instructions on how to connect to the Echo. That didn't work for me either and I just happened to stumble across the instructions in the Akaso app. I FINALLY got the camera to work with my Google Home. The feed is displayed nicely, but there is a BIG lag. There's a massive 15 second lag between what's happening on my phone's camera and what's happening on my TV. My troubles didn't end there. I absolutely cannot keep this app on my phone. I just don't have a room. The purpose of my camera purchase was for the upstairs room where my son is playing so I can keep an eye on him. So even if I had a room on my phone, I can't leave my camera on my phone all day. The next problem is that my Android tablet is a slow piece of junk. So I can't watch it there. So I got it. Hey, they're working with Revane Echo. They are sold on Revain. I just download the app from the Revain App Store and light it up. This will work great! NO! They don't have their own app in the Revain App Store. So I downloaded my Nox (Android emulator) to my computer and figured I'd just download the app and leave the tape on one of my computer screens all day. NO! The application does not open the ribbon in the emulator. It turns off immediately. So I love this camera. The camera is amazing. That's why it's four stars, but the fact that for now I can ONLY watch this through my phone or the only TV in my house is both inconvenient and limiting. I really hope they release the app to the Microsoft App Store and/or Revain App Store so it can be used for something else. Because until then I would not buy another camera. Which is a shame because I was looking forward to getting it for my living room too.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Not everything fits
