Good recording quality but could be improved especially with firmware and PIR tuning

I've been working for over a month now. Both AT&T and Verizon have excellent service in San Diego, so reception isn't a problem anywhere. It has worked flawlessly so far, capturing everything passing (and sometimes not even passing!). Signal detection was pretty good and I didn't notice any signal drop or drop, I just got a data-only SIM and it worked pretty smoothly. , you can keep your line if you want so you don't have to pay for a line every month if you don't want to. The capture quality is pretty good although I think the advertised 32MP is unrealistic, they're probably scaling or using some sort of digital modification as the photo quality really doesn't look like 32MP unless they use a medium lens, which is possible is as it shouldn't be. We used to take normal photos of ourselves like a normal camera, but it could still be better. In terms of tuning, I strongly recommend setting the PIR sensor/detector to a very low level. Keep in mind that if you decide to start at a higher level and then lower it using the app's settings option, the system will require a hard manual reset, meaning you'll have to navigate back to the camera's physical location. Makes no sense, but that's the only way it worked for me. The reason I recommend low PIR sensitivity is that for some reason even at higher sensitivity this camera gets a lot of false alarms and you go crazy when your notification is on. and you end up turning off the notification, which kinda defeats the purpose. Overall a good camera with easy setup and good capture. I'm adamant that some kind of firmware update is needed to fix the false positives, but if you think you can live with removing a lot of false positives and having a few bad and frustrating notifications for those false positives, is this a good camera. General. If you can spend a little more, I think Code Black is a little better.
