★☆☆☆☆
Not happy. Motion triggers way too late...
The good:
The camera video and audio quality is very good. They are extremely easy to set up and position. Only took about 2 hours start to finish.
The bad.
They turn on and capture video so late you literally miss all the action, which makes them literally useless. Just had another delivery, garage one triggered, saw the delivery persons boot exiting the frame, the front door one cought their lower back half, and it entirely missed them walking back through my driveway. Someone could casually stroll up my driveway, to my door, and steal my packages without a single face shot...Good idea in principle, horrible execution. Not happy with the purchase.
Update:
2 more cameras were added to my system, they were added in a position to only catch movement in a 100% sideways motion view. They still trigger way to late in the initial settings to catch anything meaningful. My only remedy to catch action is to turn the motion clip up to 20-30 seconds on each camera and record even when motion stops, this is the only reliable way to catch people's faces and descriptive information, typically as they are coming back into the field of view and the camera is already turned on. I am sure this will annihilate the battery life on these cameras. I will update how long the batteries last, already getting many warnings of high usage.
