Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First I have to say I am AMAZED at how this camera has 4 stars. It is the only reason I felt compelled to write a review. I have purchased 9 different cameras in the last 2 months. The only way this camera has such a high rating is that they paid a bunch of their employees or friends to give this camera 4 and 5 stars. This camera was by far the worst out of the 9 cameras I tried. I didn't get a lemon, read the reviews carefully. Skip all of the positive reviews. You can throw a dart against any results for outdoor ip camera on Amazon and you will be doing better than if you pick this camera. This camera is below sub par. The night vision is unusable. The halo created around the image is horrible!!! The image is just barely visible. The camera resets frequently. I thought it was because the camera was on wifi. I purchased the top of the line repeater. I have a $180 router. It still dropped the connection at least once a day. When it resets it goes back to a position that you can not control. I tried direct connecting the camera and guess what??? Yes the camera still dropped connection (even though every other camera has worked flawlessly when direct connected). There are much better options, a well trained pigeon would be a better option. I just purchased the Loftek Sentinel Wireless Pan/tilt 3xzoom Waterproof Outdoor&indoor Dome Camera and it is a much better camera for $30 less. It does everything this camera does without the night vision. If you have night lights you don't need the night vision. If night vision is such a big option with pan and tilt buy the Foscam FI8910W Wireless/Wired Pan & Tilt IP/Network Camera with IR-Cut Filter for True Color Images - 8 Meter Night Vision and 3.6mm Lens (67° Viewing Angle) - Black NEWEST MODEL and put it in a spot where it wont get wet or build a housing for it. The screws in this camera are horrible, they are small like the ones you find in sunglasses and you will strip them or their inserts when you try and remove the dome to focus this camera. The camera comes completely out of focus. There is no firmare upgrades. The technical support and forum answers on their website are laughable. Loftek Nexus 543 Outdoor Wireless/wired Waterproof Ip Camera is a better camera even though it is a fixed camera and much cheaper but the winner in my opinion is Shark $400 or Trivision (a Shark clone) for about $100 less. Whatever you do, do not buy this camera. You will decide that this is a paper weight that you should have returned weeks ago instead of trying to get it to work. You will check your return period. It will have expired. You will be angry and sad.
