FAILED to do their job, spend your money elsewhere!
Let me start by stating why I am rating this one star. These cameras ultimately FAILED to do what I bought them to do.
I had bought these cameras about a month ago because I have had some hooligans trying to make a political statement out of my car and I needed to catch them in the act. My initial reaction was WOW these cameras are great, they were easy to set up, the video feed is directly linked to my phone, and they give you notification alerts when motion is detected. HOWEVER tonight has proved these cameras ineffective for multiple reasons.
Reason 1: I did not receive a notification alert on my phone when these guys pulled up in their car. It does register as movement when I go to the video playback, but failed to notify me of any such activity.
Reason 2: This is a big one, the camera FROZE. Literally here these guys are walking up to my car and the frame freezes for 10 seconds. Next thing I know, I see a bunch of trash all over my car and everyone has already got back in their car. I have NO proof that someone has just vandalized my car!
Reason 3: Video quality is not very good. You MIGHT be able to make out facial features if the person is right in front of the camera, but not at all if they are more than 10 ft away... Good luck catching a license plate either.
I am so sad to say that these cameras have let me down because I had so much faith that they would do their job... I have watched countless alerts of cats hanging out in my driveway or neighbors pulling into their garages but the moment that I needed these cameras the most, they have ultimately let me down so take it from me... INVEST IN A BETTER QUALITY SECURITY CAMERA
