Good plug and play camera

I am very happy with this camera. It was easy to set up and get going as soon as I took it out of the box. I had no issues with WiFi or latency when I put it in a separate garage to track activity in my driveway. With the SmartHome app, I received motion alerts on my phone almost instantly and was able to view live video. I was able to view the movement recordings at any time via the SD card. The built-in spotlight is handy for letting people know you're being watched, but the siren will annoy you and your neighbors anytime an animal walks past, so you can turn it off for most applications. Image quality day and night is very good and the lens is wide-angle with little distortion. The camera is a bit heavy and bulky, which may make installation difficult for some. And like most infrared cameras, cobwebs are inevitable, so you may need to clean them from time to time when you're outside. (Not the camera's fault) If you want a simple plug and play monitoring/recording device and are happy with cloud access, get this camera. If you need to integrate something into the DVR, then this camera is not for you.
