AVOID THIS PRODUCT. It's garbage. buy something else

The only attraction about this item is the price. Besides, it's garbage. I originally bought it to monitor the house I was selling. The house was vacant and the camera was the only one on my fiber optic line and it kept malfunctioning. Reliability is something that shouldn't even be on your "must haves" list when buying a camera, if you're even considering it. - No Wi-Fi 5GHz - only 2.4GHz - Live feed is choppy (e.g. bad/invisible) - Audio recording is terrible at best - Camera resets itself frequently (e.g. 4 times an hour) and even more so when in use/recording - resets itself when you want it to actually work - the motion detection is terrible and only catches things as they go out of frame. Resets, alternative power cables, different wireless routers, firmware updates. Nothing worked and the support was completely useless. I am now the proud owner of a $65 paperweight. My overall summary: I'm very sorry I lost the $65 I spent on this absolute piece of junk and if I could I would get my money back and get something else. nothing else. AVOID

Pros
  • very good quality
Cons
  • poorly thought out
