After weeks of researching various cameras
After having this camera working for a few hours it is doing exactly what I expected. The setup is very user friendly. The images in the live wireless feed are not perfect but that is typical of a wireless feed set up. I can't fault them on that. I have a basic wifi router and the camera still picks up a very good signal as it travels through four walls at about 50' away from my router. The picture is very good. The motion capture sends alerts rather quickly, less than a minute on average and sometimes instantly. The camera will automatically take motion captured pictures in perfect 1080p clarity. The wide range of the camera is good but not great. The app is average and does what I need it to do. The microphone picks up sound very well even though it tends to pop here and there. I haven't had much luck with the audio conversing from the app, I will try that again soon. The zoom feature is good, even better on still shots. The camera is built rather well but if one were to drop it a few times it might take on some damage. I have not done a night vision test but I will update this review if I have any issues that may arise. Overall its worth the money and is a good camera. I had low expectations here. I was willing to buy several cameras that are $200+. I researched, watched, and read several reviews. The more and more I kept looking up various models I thought I should be a tad more conservative with my cash and try this. Worst case scenario if this cam didn't do the trick I would be out $65 bucks or had to returned it. UPDATE (several months since purchase) * Play back of sound is not as annoying during the live feed. * 2-way communication is not as desired. It is like I am talking to someone in a tunnel at times. I noticed that 10-15’ audio is okay. If there’s wind it will impact the audio pickup negatively. * Night vision is good for facial recognition within 15 feet, anything further is hit or miss. The night vision feature does not show wording on shirt which is something that I desire to have. * The camera has had some motion issue during play back. One time it pix-elated my movement for one second. This issue seems to have been solved from an update. *Cold temperatures. When it is around the -4 it still performs well, no issues. *This is “very” rare but if one may experience poor performance from the camera perform a reset. Power off the camera wait a minute and power it back on. This happened on one of my cameras and helped resolve the issue. It has been fine for months since. *Customer service via email is responsive within 24hrs. *I paid for service on one of my cams and it did not record one afternoon. A hard reset instantly solved the issue. The camera still does just about everything I want/expect, so I bought another. ****As of 2/19/19 I have two bullet cams, the doorbell cam, and the spot light cam. The bullet is by far the best and least expensive. The doorbell cam is pretty cool and glad I picked it up. The spot light cam is too expensive and not on par with the competition. I am still glad with this purchase several months later.
