Keep searching. in Bullet Cameras

Looks good. Setup was easy. The camera has a comfortable weight and feels like a quality product. I've had it running for about 24 hours and it seems to be working fine. I've noticed several instances where the image wouldn't fully load or not display. It basically looks like a horizontal gray line/distortion covering the bottom half of the screen. This has happened twice, each time for about 30 minutes. I want to be able to restart the camera from the application. I updated the firmware as soon as I received it (from 6.2 to 6.6). I'll see if horizontal distortion becomes an issue. Image quality is a bit grainy, but good enough. Overall it looks like a quality product. I tried to cast an image from the app to my TV via Apple TV, but the image was rotated incorrectly (sideways) in full screen mode. I wish this worked because it would be great to have CCTV cameras that could be displayed on my TV in the background. I hope that future firmware updates will fix the existing problems. I will update this review as I use it more often. If it continues to work well I think it's good value for money and will definitely buy a few more. Updated recap: Day 4: Missed Stars. The operation continued to fail. I tried turning the device on and off, but that didn't solve the problem. An SD card has been inserted, video recording works, but the video is out of sync with the audio for about 2 seconds. Many problems even when connecting to the camera on a healthy network. Numerous optical distortions (see attached images). I'm slowly losing faith in the device. More time will tell. Will be updated accordingly. Update: One month later: The camera works pretty well most of the time, but gets a bit choppy every now and then (see pictures). I received a voucher from the manufacturer for a free SD card with overview. Contacted the manufacturer for a free card and referenced my review. They said that the SD card is not really free and that I have to give a 5 star rating to get it or change my old rating to 5 stars. LAUGH OUT LOUD. In my opinion, really dubious business practice. The camera works decently at times but still has some recurring issues; so I can't give a 5 star rating.

Good price on a quality product that does not deliver on its promise
