You get what you pay for

If you're looking for the cheapest version of something and then buy it, don't be surprised if it turns out to be crappy as hell. a camera so i can watch my older dog while she sleeps and i am in my office across from him. (I don't move it when I change rooms.) So I looked for simple, inexpensive, no-frills devices like most baby monitors and remote cameras. I just need to know when he wakes up. I was hoping that the price of this camera was due to its lack of frills, a mistake I think given the poor quality throughout. Setup was difficult. There will be error messages, but then something will work. And then they set me up. So great. A few days after it worked, it shut down. Couldn't find my network. The instructions are vague and poorly translated. I did everything I could to restore contact. What ultimately worked was that I repackaged it to return it. I still had the app open on my phone. When I turned off the camera, the app suddenly indicated that it was ready to search for the device. So I opened it up again, plugged it in, and then continued with the command prompts. And then the error message popped up and I swear all I did was try again and... it connected. It's almost entirely random whether it works or not. I just want to make sure my little old dog is safe. That's ridiculous. In any case. We're back in line. I can see and hear when my dog wakes up so I can follow him. If it doesn't work again, I'll just send it back. If you have a basic remote camera app, I understand you don't want to pay a lot. But still pay a little more, here is my offer. Technically it does the job. As long as it isn't. This can be a bigger problem than the money you save. Whether you have a child to look after, or you are using it for security or some other more important application where you really need to rely on the camera... I cannot recommend this model. The picture is grainy and the sound is hoarse. I just don't think it's reliable.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
