I have several 2 megapixel cameras that I use to monitor my home outside. I replaced one of the cameras with this device and was very impressed with the extras that the 5x 5MP optical zoom offers. You can't read the license plate of a fast-moving vehicle, but you can when the vehicle is parked or moving slowly. One of the best things I found about this camera is that you can record your entire back or front yard perfectly, especially at night. I think the night vision mode is fantastic! But what really caught my attention were the activity alerts! Any suspicious activity or movement will notify you on your phone. This feature definitely made me calmer while I was away. I would say it's better to mount the camera high to get a long range. I have attached a funny video that was recorded last night.
