Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

11/18/19 Update: Downgrading to 1 Star. Camera picture quality is already degrading. I have one camera mounted over driveway. It faces south, so is exposed to more direct sunlight. Also, since I've left my "not so good" review, all the sudden there are numerous "5 star" reviews that have popped up. Do yourself a favor and pay attention to the wording and grammar on those reviews. They all look suspiciously similar. Just sayin'. Original review: Honestly, the quality these cameras are just so so. I bought a few other outdoor Wi-Fi cameras over the years and these are probably the most marginal of them all. There are a few things I'd like to point out if you are considering buying these... 1. The casing is all lightweight plastic, including the cover over the lens. Other cameras that I've bought at the same price point have had metal housings and will definitely last longer in the elements than these cameras as well. 2. One end of the power cord is hardwired directly under the camera and the other end is a typical USB connection which plugs into the supplied transformer. The problem with this, is that you will need to drill a hole in your wall at least 3/4" wide to fit the USB through the hole. All other cameras that I've purchased, have a DC power supply type connection that allow you to drill only a nominal size hole to fit the cable through. In addition, since the cable is connected under the camera, instead of behind it, the cable will always be exposed to someone being able to simply cut it with a pair of shears when attached to an exterior wall. This is a definite flaw and should be changed on future generations of these cameras! Even if you install the camera out of reach of someone, the design is still terrible because you still have the 3/4" hole to contend with. You will either need to fill the hole with caulking, or install the base of the camera over the hole, which means you will have the cable going under the base, preventing a flush attachment to your exterior wall. With all other exterior cameras that I've purchased, the cable runs from the rear of the camera through the post of the base that attaches to the wall. This allows you to secure the base directly over the hole while not exposing the cable to anyone with ill intent. In regards to the picture quality, this is the only redeeming aspect of these cameras. Picture quality is pretty good. Again, the only question is, just how long these cameras will last in the elements! If directly exposed to the sun and rain, I will give them about 18 months max. If installed under an eve or other cover, they may last a little longer.
