Revainrating 5 out of 5

Overall very satisfied but room for improvement

Will buy again and highly recommend Video requires Adobe Flash Cannot continuously record to SD card This is a full featured camera. HD quality with built-in server to view current and historical videos. Lots of customization options. configurable motion detection and memory expansion. I have this outside to my driveway. The day picture has clear colors. There's a slight judder when a car drives by, but I'm not sure if it's from the network or the camera. The night image is black and white. I disabled IR as the area where it shows is pretty bright anyway. I use a web browser, Chrome or Edge to watch videos. Unfortunately, this requires Adobe Flash. The user interface is easy to use and navigate. Setting up motion detection is easy. Set the schedule, create a hotspot mask, and you're done. If you have an SD card, the running video will be saved on it. There is no option for continuous video streaming to the SD card. You can view the saved video on the camera or save it from the device to the storage device. I store videos on my NAS. There is no easy way to get videos from camera SD card. Motion detection works well, but when it's pointing down the road like mine, the headlights come on. I tried adjusting the sensitivity but to no avail. I used this with Blue Iris and it worked well. Blue Iris is much more customizable and also detects motion.
