No way to control features

Once you understand how to set up different capture types (photo, 720 or 1080 capture), you have no control over motion sensitivity, night mode or anything else. You also can't tell from the camera if it's actually recording. It is not possible to set the time/date stamp in the device. The best use case is to plug it into a USB power source just before using it. So if you're trying to catch someone doing something, you have to predict when to do it, about 2 hours before the person does it. But then all you have to do is check the position and angle by plugging it back into your computer and watching the video. But you get what you pay for, right? You don't create content for YouTube and you don't win an Oscar. Compared to other cameras, this connected thing records continuously even when there is no movement. It's useless because it only lasts 8 hours. In camera mode, the shutter speed is around 1/20, meaning it's too unstable to take a picture without blur unless you're in direct sunlight. Running on battery alone will run for about 2 hours and then just stop recording. Again, only use it when you're recording something. Don't expect it to work without constant interaction. Again, you get what you pay for.

Pros
  • Best in class
Cons
  • Some little things
