Review on πŸ“· Compact Wireless Motion Activated 1080P Security Camera for Indoor/Outdoor Surveillance – Ideal for Cars, Home, and Apartments (SD Card Excluded)" by James Edwards

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The battery is unusable good for video surveillance

Impressive resolution and sound. This works for motion detection capture. However, it is described that 1 hour of video can be recorded with a fully charged battery. That's an absolute lie. I set up this camera to catch someone at work damaging something of mine in a place that's rarely occupied. I gave them the opportunity to return the note I left them explaining why my property was damaged. They ended up leaving a note apologizing and saying it was an accident but I didn't get the video so I don't know who it was. This was the reason I bought this camera because it literally says it records 1 hour of video and the motion detection turns off when there is no motion. I captured about 7 video points in an hour and the device battery died. Each video was 1 minute long where I was in the area to put something in a drawer or get an item. That's about 7 minutes record time. Certainly not 60 minutes! I imagine it could be plugged into a bulky charger, but that would certainly make the hidden camera part a lot less inconspicuous. Very deceptive. It's practically useless to use this and rely on the internal battery. For the price I can leave it if it's a good nightlife camera, but it won't work as a security camera if something goes wrong unless you can hide it in addition to the power adapter. And I haven't tested it yet, so I don't know if it will run many hours.
