Mediocre product with some degradation

Expect a nightmare setting up even if you are high tech savvy. Pros: Good video quality, limited latency live. (Netgear Arlo Pro had the same issue). Had to replace one as it couldn't detect/record movement. - Linking to the cloud panel can be tricky and I have a returned defective device that is still stuck in the account preventing the replacement from accepting the slot. Be prepared to see screenshots of unknown apps present in the current mobile app. Very confusing. If "cloud tethering" doesn't appear in Settings after the firmware update, you know the device may be having problems. - If you submit a support request, expect terrible help. They'll direct you to forums, FAQs, or just patronize you and ask if you've tried the most basic technical fixes. The forums didn't cover all the problems I had. Eventually you'll get tired of mounting fasteners when mounting to an external structure. Just throw them in the trash and buy the right size anchors with quality screws. They are the wrong size and the screws break before you can screw them in. Chances are you'll curse and grab a pair of pliers to remove it. Do these idiots even test these products? Conclusion: I wanted to return it. I tried a few other brands and came across many
