Ultimately Disappointed
When searching for cameras like these, I wanted a system that required no monthly recurring fees. I thought by asking a lot of questions, that this was the system for me. But I was wrong. I have 2 cameras set up with a 3rd still in the box. I was happy with the video I was getting, although there is a WIFI delay which I now know is common even in other systems. I would get a chirp on my phone when someone or something passed into view of the cameras. I could then view that video clip and delete it if it was unimportant. I recently started getting warnings that my free monthly subscription was running out. I didn't worry because I thought I was not getting any of the features from a monthly subscription, like cloud storage etc. Well, lo and behold, now I don't get those video clips when something activates the cameras. So when I get a chirp I have no clip to look at. They say that's a feature for the monthly fee. Now if I get a chirp, it does not show on my phone for review. If I get a chirp, I have to stop what I'm doing, click to "Live View" which takes 6 to 7 seconds and then hope that whatever tripped the cameras is still there and then I can see what or who is at my door. Any of the previous features I had, I thought were included without a monthly subscription. I WAS WRONG! Now I must pay $10 a month to have what I thought was included. Very disappointed with this service.
