Nice hidden camera but no display and 60 minute battery life
One hour battery life but great picture.
Really good night vision but it doesn't work if it's plugged in. If it's not plugged in the battery dies in 60 mins so you either have an outlet nearby OR get creative and buy a portable charger to use with it to give it a longer battery life.
My other gripe was that I missed a few key things that got overwritten because motion mode wouldn't go into effect or at least I couldn't tell. There's one tiny led light that turns blue, red, and half blue/ half red and if one attained to those colors, it's pretty simple to read. But there is no way to tell once set whether you have it on motion, or loop. Loop will record 5 minute videos around the clock for approx eight hours, then it will start overwriting itself. I lost allot to that. A few times after I'd mounted it (takes me like 5 mins to get the angle right and make sure it's hidden) I thought I set the cam to motion, but found out a few days later after retrieving it and plugging it in that it was in loop mode the whole time and had been overwriting itself.
If there's one thing I could change, it would be to have the camera make it more clear somehow as to whether it's on motion or loop. The light blinks a series of blue red sequence to tell you what it is set to, and it's really unclear. Setting the cam to record is easy, but motion is iffy at best unless you study the blinking light sequence which clearly, I still after two months haven't gotten right.
All in all I would've returned it if not worth it. It's worth the money and it does what it suppose to (just not very clearly)
