Review on Mevo Camera Wirelessly Stream Microphone by Major Callaham

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good camera, great experience but the company seems to be in trouble.

The camera is of good quality and the process of setup and operation is easy and smooth once you are familiar with the technology. I would definitely buy the camera again. If you buy this camera, you need to join Facebook Mevo user group. I feel the group exists to try and pass some of Mevo's customer support to the user community. It seems like a cheap move to me, but it works well for customers. However, especially due to the pandemic, the group is EXTREMELY active and probably makes up 1/4 of my newsfeed. And users often ask the same questions multiple times. The biggest problem is that they have to quadruple their QA team. Immediately after I got my camera, an update made it impossible for Android users to use YouTube. And while this has never happened to me, users have mentioned having problems after running a camera firmware update. As such, I strongly recommend that you never perform a firmware update unless you have a few days before using the camera. Important information is also missing on their website. They list the USB-C adapters that are "supported" by the camera, but they don't really define what that means. I found out on the Facebook page that this means "they have been tested and will charge/do everything they are supposed to do when using their fast charger" which is a small separate purchase. And that's a BIG problem. You cannot use a standard 5W charger when using a USB-C Power to Ethernet adapter. You should get the 18W charger or something more powerful. That's all the information your website should have, but it doesn't. It wasn't until I looked at Revain's adapter and saw that the adapter could require up to 12W to power the adapter that I realized what was going on.

Pros
  • POWER EVERYWHERE. Stream live from anywhere in the world via Wi-Fi, Ethernet or even your smartphone's LTE network.
Cons
  • Only available in white
