Outstanding camera, outstanding value!

Outstanding camera, outstanding value! I have cameras 4 times more expensive than this one and it out performes them in almost every way. Easy to setup and offers plenty of nice features. You can use this camera on your network (home Wi-Fi network) or you can purchase the service that allows you to view and record remotely via cloud. The lowest plan is $29 a year and goes to $225 depending on your number of cameras and hours of cloud recording. Captures and transmits audio. It also send…

Pros
  • When away, the ease the camera connects to my smartphone, always on, dependable
Cons
  • The worst camera ever, Could not get it to work at all and now the return window is closed.

There's s lot of good stuff you can do with this camera

This is a high definition WiFi video camera that you can monitor through an app, using the Hubble app. You do have to PAY for this monitoring service. There's a basic plan with a $2.99 per month charge. There's s lot of good stuff you can do with this camera, but I will not pay for the service. That's why it has two stars.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • The night vision is not always reliable, sometimes producing distorted images

Good product for a quick solution

Overall I love the product! Speakers good be a little louder and wish the two way talking woud work whether your talking you can still hear but you have to turn off talking in order to hear sound again. Night vision is good and picture quality is good. We have very good Wi-Fi and router. But the cameras do lag and the app also lags.

Pros
  • N/A
Cons
  • It doesn't have a built-in battery backup, so it's useless during power outages

A good home monitoring device

This camera works great and has nice feature for motion detection and sound detection. It shows the temperature of the area where it is placed in and will send out notification if it exceeds the adjustable high and low temperature limit settings. The app is nice but slow when initializing the connection to the camera for the first time, otherwise it supports a good video stream on our iPhones.

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • The instructions for setup are not easy to understand, especially for non-tech savvy individuals

I like that it provides both motion and sound alerts

I've been in need of picking up a basic camera for our house. We have a basic ADT security system, but I wanted something with video. This wasn't too difficult to setup with the iOS app. I like that it provides both motion and sound alerts. I also like that you can use it for live streaming and speaking with people/pets that may be in that location.In the end, though, to really get the full functionality you need to signup for for a Hubble plan. I've yet to have done that, as I'm not sure this…

Pros
  • Feature room temperature monitoring, Infrared night vision, white night light
Cons
  • The camera's motion detection feature doesn't always pick up movement, sometimes missing critical events

Good quality picture

Love the camera. This is my 2nd one. My first one is 3 years old and doesnt have near the quality that this camera has. The hubble app is very easy to use.

Pros
  • Video Surveillance
Cons
  • The camera doesn't have a two-way audio feature, so it can be difficult to communicate with people on the other end

sort of easy setup, but crippled local functionality (UPDATE: unit failed)

UPDATE Jan2019: Dropping my rating from 3 to 2 stars after the unit failed during the first multi-day stretch I kept it running (after less than 3 days). Went offline and unresponsive in app, though it powers up fine. Power cycling doesn't help, reinstalling app doesn't help, re-pairing fails despite the camera "speaking" it paired successfully.I didn't go down to 1-star since the optics were nice and I like the mount. I may just have a bad copy, or maybe a firmware issue, or.? Since there's no

Pros
  • Effortless Monitoring: The Motorola FOCUS68 Wi-Fi HD Home Monitoring Camera allows you to effortlessly monitor your home or office, providing you with a clear high-definition view of the surroundings.
Cons
  • The camera has a non-rechargeable backup battery, which needs replacement from time to time
