"it has turned out to be a total waste of money without the ability to record!"

"not what i expected at all very disappointed"

"it’s also more expensive per month so please do not waste your money"

"it works all the time not like the cheap ones that constantly needs a reset it's only expensive if it doesn't work"

"i am now struggling to see how this device gets some of the negative reviews when it works brilliantly"

"there is a 30 day free trial of the cloud after which you need to pay either monthly or yearly for either 10 days or 30 days history to be accessible you pay one cost for the first subscription and each camera subscribed after this is half price the subscription can be cancelled at any time"

"the only negative is that it looks quite ugly compared to my logicircle but i guess you can't have everything!"

"the power cable is long enough to connect the camera at ceiling heigh to a floor mounted power socket but only comes in white therefore it depends on the background wall colours whether it looks good or not "

"also alexa skill does not work i say alexa show living room it flickers but does not work"

"unit started to get extremely hot before it stopped working"

"i bought a cheap camera and it was so bad i returned it to buy this"

"if you have a break in and the camera misses the right moment faces or other particularities it was all a complete waste of money"

"lack of thought with some features including poor alerting and no secure sharing option"

"expensive but it allowed me to check on my two young children when they slept as both are poor sleepers"

"quite disappointed considering all the other nest products i have that work fine"

"extremely frustrating that tech support couldn't understand this and all they kept saying was "it was working as intended" and saying "we'll have to agree to disagree" when i was saying any security product giving off so many false positives was not good"

"the only negative is that it looks quite ugly compared to my logicircle but i guess you can't have everything!"

"doesn't tell you when you move really annoying"

"the video is delayed by about 2second and the app is quite sluggish generally"

"pretty poor "

"i don't believe it's possible to export clips when you aren't subscribed which makes the cameras fairly redundant"

"i sorted the problem by ringing virginia who altered the router remotely and allowed it to auto select a clear channel and since then for the last 2 months the system has been faultless"

"and the nestaware is outrageously expensive $100 pa!"

"so overall i think it's a terrible product and the worst customer service i have every had"

"i love google and by proxy nest but this device is a waste of space and does not do what it says on the tin reliably enough for us to keep it"

"as a security camera it also falls short"

"i don't have slow wifi or slow internet and for comparison my previous camera would work at 720p resolution perfectly that was its maximum resolution and i can watch youtube and netflix in full 1080p hd with no issues on my connection"

"and without it is a useless product as a security camera"

"the only reason for a 4 star rating and not a 5 star is the connectivity issues we experience with it recording while we are in the house when it should not!"

"the quality and subscription services is amazing i've got two of these one inside and one outside using 3rd party cover and i can't fault them at all"

"i had tried other cheaper cameras all of which had issues and flaws in set up"

"i found the software a bit lacking and the cloud storage subscriptions are not suited to myself but i appreciate that right now q1 2016 storage of 24 7 1080p video is prohibitively expensive"

"i’m not going pay ridiculous amount monthly for it"

"furthermore it will frequently suffer from connection problems with the picture freezing or cutting out entirely"

"so let's say you want to schedule all of you cameras coming on for some event you've going to have to tap a ridiculous number of times to setup something that seems like it really should be trivial"

"it really is a shame as the actual hardware is great and works really well but software is very lacking and the service is inexcusable consider the upfront and ongoing cost"

"update: after a few months of use the camera is even worse than i initially stated"

"we got fed up returning them for replacements and got them all refunded and bought some nest cameras having had a positive experience with the nest outdoor camera we bought not long ago"

"they so much as lift there lazy fury bums up and i get a notification"

"thieves could rob your house and you will have no evidence and the added frustration of having spent money on a cam"

"i notice meany rather disparaging comments about the cost of monitoring"

"a super quick estimation which could be totally incorrect sees an uncompressed video at a peak rate of 24mbit s yielding 8mb s so 8 * 3600 means 28gb per hour 696gb per day 20tb per month and a whopping 240tb per annum"

"i subscribed to the nest aware subscription after my free month trial ran out but i was completely worn down by the constant false alerts"

"the only downside is of course the ridiculously high cost of the archive service which i've not bothered with i'm afraid"

"only issue we have that sometimes it goes off when we are at home for no reason even though are settings dismiss this when we are at home"

"furthermore it will frequently suffer from connection problems with the picture freezing or cutting out entirely"

"my main issue is that the home away assist function did not work correctly"

"i would have thought 7 days storage foc would have been a good value add"

"i found the software a bit lacking and the cloud storage subscriptions are not suited to myself but i appreciate that right now q1 2016 storage of 24 7 1080p video is prohibitively expensive"

"the camera freezes the android software is poor to the point of being useless"

"this was just rubbish"

"edit camera feed lags and freezes constantly and is often down"

"i understand the features of the nest aware subscription but the camera is pretty useless without it so you're forced to take it if you want the camera to be usable"

"image was very blurry returned"

"great quality product but unfortunately very limited features"

"works exactly as stated"

"however i still gave it three stars because despite the connection errors the rest of the product is great"

"it works all the time not like the cheap ones that constantly needs a reset it's only expensive if it doesn't work"

"please save yourself from wasting your time and money and avoid these"

"however it is being used as a granny cam and it is really useful and crucially reliable even in a low wifi signal area as long as you dont mind sacrificing 1080p and can make do with 720p which i can"

"i understand that they have to make money but there are plenty of other cameras on the market that do offer longer timeframe storage so this makes the nest camera an inferior product sorry to say that"

"cons: nest back end frequently go off line making this a useless addition"

"keeps on losing connection making it a pointless piece of kit"

"one of the cameras failed after a month and got replaced after a torturous process with customer services and frankly the camera is poor"

"there's an utter lack of basic features behind the scenes that really becomes apparent after the novelty wears off and then the dent in your wallet starts to really hurt"

"the image the camera displays can be 20 30 seconds delayed from real time making it utterly useless in situations where real time monitoring is important"

"my samsung was noticeably lower in sound than my partners iphone so we have purchased a cheap entry level audio monitor which we use together with this camera for added peace of mind"

"that means you don't get the fancy algorithm processing for your video so i constantly get false alerts!"

"i constantly get false alarms and alerts"

"i don't consider the nest camera price "disposable" and given that i am not alone in having problems i think nest needs to improve their qc"

"£300pa £30pcm for 30 days recording on 1 camera additional camera subscriptions are discounted to half price for additional subscriptions a fast and reliable internet connection is required"

"buying subscriptions for additional cams is a nightmare"

"i'd have liked more fixing options and more ways to bend and a longer stem"

"power cable connection is utterly **** have used cables that are working with other devices 100% but our camera is consistent in shutting off needing the cable to be reseated"

"main problem is that if someone with a cell phone is in the room it often fails until they leave"

"disappointing ir quality too much reflection leading to distorted images from reflective service at night"

"sunrise outside and notifies randomly a lot"

"they even promised a free subscription which never materialised"

"even at its highest resolution in broad daylight you wont make out any faces or even license plates on cars so i would not recommend this if that is what you want it for"

"we tried this at all streaming qualities and same problem"

"thieves could rob your house and you will have no evidence and the added frustration of having spent money on a cam"

"my only gripes are even with a fast internet connection 120mbps down 10mbps up the stream can bog down a bit as it's my understanding the camera first uploads all footage to nest and then your devices computer are streaming the footage from nest's servers rather than the camera directly so any weak links in these connections can result in a jerky stream"

"i notice meany rather disparaging comments about the cost of monitoring"

"i spent an hour on the phone with a google senior advisor and he told me 'this is a known issue and we are working on a fix please wait indefinitely until we may or may not be able to fix this""

"it does not like stone or brick walls"

"for my purposes and what i use my camera for these issues while mildly irritating are not deal breakers and i will tolerate them"

"only disappointing part is that i cannot record anything!"

"1 person finally came back saying its gone forever and they can't do anything"

"maybe there wasn't a defect but there was a huge design problem if this is how it is meant to work"

"first of all i had a major marital issue i needed recorded as proof for legal reasons"

"the nest is a nightmare after your free trial ends"

"a regular ip camera with no cloud backup once the 30 day trial subscription ends and most regular ip cameras with 1080p displays and no cloud backup are 3 5x cheaper than the nest cam the subscription cost of 8 quid a month is just too high to justify when competitors like tplink kasa cam offer 3 days"

"maybe i was unlucky to get a problematic unit but i think that there are deeper problems with nest's hardware and or servers so i will be getting a different brand"

"the sensors were a little overly sensitive the movement of shadows caused by clouds and sun could trigger an alert"

"it has a function that disables recording video alerts if you are at home ideal for what i need and this function can be switched off"

"great idea poorly executed and there are more effective cheaper ip cameras out there"

"previously we had been using a couple of cheap wifi ip cameras chinese bought here on amazon that were a nightmare trying to get them to connect to the network and used really clunky software"

"less than 3 days in place the 3 month trial subscription just 'falls' off my account and loses the video history"

"very quiet and constant static noise in the background which is very annoying"

"this is a major flaw with the app"

"the mic is nowhere near as sensitive as the old dropcam mic was though"

"you enter the name and press next expecting to be asked for a password or some additional settings but instead nest starts trying to connect"

"don't waste your money"

"i called nest support and followed their instructions when i eventually got through but nothing worked"

"sometimes i get a sporadic alert because of sound detected while she clean but then i go to the timeline and no event is recorded or the static picture sent to email doesn't show anything"

"waste of money"

"at almost £100 a year this is crazy money and not a recurrent cost i'm prepared to pay for"

"it will not record unless you subsribe"

"their whole accounts order system is really broken"

"i also purchased one to go outside and have tried external casings for it but all are useless at night so don't bother"

"this has the potential for a great product let down by attention to detail"

"love the app but it gets stuck sometimes when scrolling backwards"

"another point maybe it's only relate to my device the new uk plug adapted stopp working after 2 days and i had to return it for replacement"

"sadly the show lets it down rather owing to its auto cut off every 30 minutes and by not allowing the nest cam to transmit sound from the baby’s room"

"you can look at them and see what's going on but everything else is either prohibitively expensive for an already expensive device or lacks consistency"

"less than 3 days in place the 3 month trial subscription just 'falls' off my account and loses the video history"

"buying subscriptions for additional cams is a nightmare"

"however despite everything i looked at i didn't realise that this camera and it's storage subscription service only works in a limited number of countries"

"started off so well but got gradually worse"

"purchased 11 12 15 and it gave up the ghost completely by the 25 01 16"

"really disappointed in these and in nest"

"i bought a cheap camera and it was so bad i returned it to buy this"

"frequent disconnects"

"originally had two of the motorolla cams but they didn't have the wide angle lens and then when hubble their platform was updated in june 2016 and we lost the feed for over 24 hours and their communication about it to everyone was so poor we went for two of these nest cams"

"in some cases apparently the camera can still transmit pictures but in my case failed means no pictures"

"it removes a lot of the awkward configuration needed for ip cameras at the cost of tying you to nest for full functionality"

"i have great internal wifi and broadban connectivity reverted back to foscam cameras which just work"

"it's not a cheap option"

"but as soon as i was forced to pay for the monthly subscription it started to go wrong could not recall past 'events' and then on occasion website would not pick up the webcams"

"pain in the behind and renders this useless as it's so unreliable"

"since using the nest we’ve had not a single drop out"

"both of mine keep failing"

"delay in live streaming even with the fastest broadband speed 150 mbps "

"i bought this camera to spy on my dogs but also to make sure that i could spot if there was a fire in case the fire alarms go off "

"poorly designed"

"it drops one star however as the video quality is not great but usable"

"one of the cameras failed after a month and got replaced after a torturous process with customer services and frankly the camera is poor"

"so overall i think it's a terrible product and the worst customer service i have every had"

"everything worked well and out of nowhere a new feature is forced on the cameras"

"previously we had been using a couple of cheap wifi ip cameras chinese bought here on amazon that were a nightmare trying to get them to connect to the network and used really clunky software"

"when it disconnects if it can't reconnect immediately the app just stops and closes without giving an immediate alert that it has disconnected"

"downsides are the actual nest app is so slow to load"

"tried turning on and off several times with no joy so decided to remove the camera from the account and re install"

"i tried to subscribe but my post code was continually rejected"

"my advice at the moment is to avoid these cameras"

"i could not reinstall and wasted over an hour"

"they are on average delayed by 1 2 minutes"

"nest app very good cons: lots of false alerts due to its picking even lights in the hall etc"

"people lose get their cards damaged all the time need to have them replaced it happens !"

"secondly the reason we got it was the movement and sound detection and notification system which worked well initially but gradually got worse to the point we would hear the baby crying out and the app was saying there was no issue"

"i've given nest plenty of grief over the last several weeks regarding their products and my frustration with them but i think i need to be fair here and re write my review about the indoor cameras and their subscription fee"

"ignore the poor reviews"

"the problem is i don't want 10 days cloud storage therefore i don't pay the £8 per month £80 per year subscription"

"disappointing ir quality too much reflection leading to distorted images from reflective service at night"

"the apps and website are up to date and the camera has the specs you want 1080p night vision microphone speaker "

"worse you pay a lot for the cameras and then they are still fairly useless without paying an annual subscription as well"

"if you change country after the 30 day free trial has begun it will be cancelled and you will not get it back personal experience nest support is utterly useless and slow"

"however a number of outage to nest's servers means that there is no way to view the output from the camera"

"neighbour got broken into and camera caught the whole thing great devce"

"the software is rubbish"

"so works well but if a payment does not go through expect a pile of trouble"

"this camera is as good as useless"

"they drop offline from time to time for no apparent reason and trigger at the slightest movement which leads to a classic "cried wolf too often" problem"

"at the moment all movement gets flagged and there is no algorithm for the software to learn what matters like the cleaner arriving and what doesn't her then working around the house"

"if you're on a connection with a data cap then look elsewhere because everything gets uploaded and there's no alternative"

"you can't use them at all without using the supporting software and services and herein lies the problem"

"the picture and sound sent by the camera are by my estimation anywhere from four to six seconds delayed and the picture isn't smooth it's very choppy barely one or two frames a second at times"

"there's an utter lack of basic features behind the scenes that really becomes apparent after the novelty wears off and then the dent in your wallet starts to really hurt"

"the only negative is that it looks quite ugly compared to my logicircle but i guess you can't have everything!"

"the setup process was the first sign of problems"

"but what killed the deal for me was its advertised as 1080 resolution but i just cant see how it is"

"i've given nest plenty of grief over the last several weeks regarding their products and my frustration with them but i think i need to be fair here and re write my review about the indoor cameras and their subscription fee"

"if you have a break in and the camera misses the right moment faces or other particularities it was all a complete waste of money"

"but it also gets very hot too possibly due to the constant streaming to the cloud service"

"i found the software a bit lacking and the cloud storage subscriptions are not suited to myself but i appreciate that right now q1 2016 storage of 24 7 1080p video is prohibitively expensive"

"if you have a break in and the camera misses the right moment faces or other particularities it was all a complete waste of money"

"the netatmo welcome was absolutely rubbish with huge lag and no 2 way audio"

"i am now selling it and buying from another brand as completely useless"

"i spent an hour on the phone with a google senior advisor and he told me 'this is a known issue and we are working on a fix please wait indefinitely until we may or may not be able to fix this""

"all worked great during the free trial but when i tried to subscribe to nest aware so many problems they cancelled my subscription without telling me so my home wasn't being protected"

"don't make me laugh"

"i found the software a bit lacking and the cloud storage subscriptions are not suited to myself but i appreciate that right now q1 2016 storage of 24 7 1080p video is prohibitively expensive"

"the need to have the nest aware package does not bother me too much"

"one camera is faulty"

"however i had an issue where a payment bounced because a card had expired"

"i do this when the dogs merge with the sofa and i can't find them"

"my terrible experience with them is that i had the free trial and something went wrong their end and it was all deleted"

"such a shame so much time wasted!"

"about 10 days ago i received notice that my payment for the monthly fee had not gone through well that was not right as funds are pretty plentiful and was only12 pounds i contacted cs right away it turns out it was my mums bank card that had just been lost and was being replaced so in other words nest taking payments off a card rather than straight from a bank account !"

"unfortunately nest cam doesn't work with my bt infinity router and nest support couldn't get it working so i have had to return it"

"however for people looking to use the camera for monitoring pets children or the elderly as well as in many other use cases these same issues certainly would be a problem"

"you enter the name and press next expecting to be asked for a password or some additional settings but instead nest starts trying to connect"

"as others have mentioned the camera is basically useless without a subscription which comes on a hefty price"

"i have other non nest hd cameras that are much faster to load i just can't understand why it's so slow"

"website not very useful for support when it comes to unit not working"

"because of that i no longer want this product i want one that works with me not me working around it"

"i have literally 20 emails from 17 different people all saying different things and being lied to"

"i could not find an app that worked with the nest and your browser will not be able to run the website because nest are using flash to playback the nest picture and flash is not supported"

"it's not the cheapest but it's well build and good quality"

"once i'd resolved the router problems set up was done in about 2 minutes"

"as it is these cams are let down by a poorly thought through expensive service"

"it's not yet alerted me to any security issues but that's because there haven't been any and hopefully there won't"

"i have just noticed that the app doesn't always show the activity though well today it didn't"

"the first thing i noticed was the picture quality was great but that the fish eye distortion just too annoying due to the extreme wide angle"

"very quiet and constant static noise in the background which is very annoying"

"original review below: i bought this camera to replace another far cheaper camera and considering the significant financial investment i expected a truly first rate product"

"i've spoken email to about 30 people all of which do nothing"

"my biggest problem with these cameras is that one and it was always the same one would lose internet connection for no obvious reason"

"about 10 days ago i received notice that my payment for the monthly fee had not gone through well that was not right as funds are pretty plentiful and was only12 pounds i contacted cs right away it turns out it was my mums bank card that had just been lost and was being replaced so in other words nest taking payments off a card rather than straight from a bank account !"

"to store the recordings you do need to pay the subscription which i haven't done yet"

"this device is rubbish"

"so let's say you want to schedule all of you cameras coming on for some event you've going to have to tap a ridiculous number of times to setup something that seems like it really should be trivial"

"this is after actually capturing a cleaner stealing stuff from our holiday home"

"there’s no power cuts and my ring camera is connecting perfectly although that has its own problems tbh so it’s not the internet"

"it's true that these are next to useless with nest aware currently £80 a year for the first cam then £40 per cam after that"

"i have found that if you view the video feed through the nest website not the app then if it disconnects it seems to reconnect itself and you can carry on watching the video from the camera"

"daily i'm getting notifications saying something is happening just to make panic and see that there's nothing there"

"i opted to take the 14 day storage plan for 2 cams at 12 pounds per month all worked fine and was able to capture and store copy of a section that showed mum having a fall and just how good the response was to the incident on the day"

"it's in a holiday home and i have no access to it easily otherwise it would go back"

"easy to add to current system and delivers as stated"

"two way talking is rubbish"

"1 person finally came back saying its gone forever and they can't do anything"

"if you're on a connection with a data cap then look elsewhere because everything gets uploaded and there's no alternative"

"software needs a little work"

"i really wanted this camera to be good so i could buy a few for around the house and also in the garden using the waterproof cover but it just doesn't work as it should"

"i'm now going to buy some smoke alarms"

"i have 3 nest smoke detectors and this should compliment them"

"i did return it but my decision was based on it just not really fitting with my requirements and not a flaw in the product"

"it stops recording randomly logs me out won’t load constantly"

"for my purposes and what i use my camera for these issues while mildly irritating are not deal breakers and i will tolerate them"

"i didn't think it through and bought this as i trusted the nest brand name"

"i also didn't like that i could only access the camera from the nest app"

"only disappointing part is that i cannot record anything!"

"i do not like this camera i have an indoor one that look through a window but there’s a glare of the window then there light which shows there’s a camera on show and at night reflects of the window making the camera useless "

"they've done nothing about it"

"pain in the behind and renders this useless as it's so unreliable"

"not sure how nest google feel they can justify a lesser product for over twice the price?"

"the main problem with these ip cameras is a robber only needs to cut the incoming telephone or cable feed and it's completely dead and useless"

"there's an utter lack of basic features behind the scenes that really becomes apparent after the novelty wears off and then the dent in your wallet starts to really hurt"

"yeah the camera looks nicer but you’ll regret you paid so much for something that just doesn’t work at all"

"i think the camera must get triggered my changes in light level entering the room don't know though"

"do not buy this camera"

"without subscription you get motion and sound alerts but they don't work reliably"

"setup did not work with wifi and was forced to connect the cam to a pic first"

"i cannot see a thing and it is most definitely not 1080p"

"secondly the reason we got it was the movement and sound detection and notification system which worked well initially but gradually got worse to the point we would hear the baby crying out and the app was saying there was no issue"

"expensive piece of kit that we will not buy again"

"i"ve also created a dedicated wifi network in the house for the cameras as we found that they interfere with bandwidth if using the regular network"

"but eats into your data allowance like no tomorrow not a problem if you are on a contract with your mobile phone company"

"they worked fine so long as nothing happened but as soon as they detected movement they switched themselves off for up to 24 hours"

"you have to purchase cloud memory for this to really be useful so ur paying allot of money to buy it and then a monthly fee on top to use it in full the audio is the big problem here when you press and hold the audio button one way at a time only you cant hear the other person speaking once you let go of the button you have to wait for a few seconds before you can start hearing the other person"

"this is as others have stated a glorified expensive peephole"

"it comes with a lond powere lead which makes life easier for positioning"

"couldn't ask for more"

"daily i'm getting notifications saying something is happening just to make panic and see that there's nothing there"

"after a few weeks of using the camera we did notice that the audio quality via our phones was somewhat lacking"

"as suggested i setup the unit with the ios app which was straightforward enough once i realised that i didn't register as logging in was actually registration"

"nest have thought of everything pull tabs for opening everything with ease instructions on tabs to guide you through the process so you don't miss a step"

"less than 3 days in place the 3 month trial subscription just 'falls' off my account and loses the video history"

"i was only in my garden connected to the wifi so it can not be blamed on poor signal"

"i would only recommend if you want to speak to your dog at home otherwise it's useless i own the whole nest range and the camera lets the trio down!"

"its only a small living room so why the blurry image"

"a super quick estimation which could be totally incorrect sees an uncompressed video at a peak rate of 24mbit s yielding 8mb s so 8 * 3600 means 28gb per hour 696gb per day 20tb per month and a whopping 240tb per annum"

"also the nest apps home away feature isn't faultless sometimes it thinks i'm home when i'm not so cam doesn't automatically turn back on"

"one of the cameras failed after a month and got replaced after a torturous process with customer services and frankly the camera is poor"

"i'm in trouble with my wife for wasting my money and i am tech savvy!"

"the nest software has gotten better and far more reliable too and its just wicked"

"disadvantages of using nest cameras over standard cctv are: higher initial cost per camera and optional monthly annual subscription fee"

"i'm sure you enjoyed it the first time let's have you do it all over again so you can really appreciate the flat design and pretty fonts"

"we had some caught in the act of stealing things and no proof"

"so i have a camera i cannot recover or return"

"there’s no power cuts and my ring camera is connecting perfectly although that has its own problems tbh so it’s not the internet"

"then i tried to purchase again and the website says "correct your errors" when there were no errors on the page so i still can't subscribe"

"great cameras but i don’t like the fact you have to pay a subscription service especially because amazon sell similar cameras for less with no subscriptions needed"

"the first one had a faulty power socket and kept switching itself on and off"

"total waste of money”"

"very disappointed"

"on the whole i am very pleased with it my only gripe is the distortion when you speak through the microphone it is really quite bad"

"the only issue was that the motion alerts were not working"

"i would say that the cost seems to be one of the more expensive options compared to other camera makes"

"none of the offered glitch fixes really fit in with how the app doesn’t work"

"i figured that overall it was mostly positive and that maybe the people who gave it negative reviews were just not tech savvy or patient people millennial cockiness right there i know so anyhoo i decided to click the buy button"

"we have not used the cloud service yet but we do plan to take the free trial when we decide how we want to use the camera s with a view to expand our system to include additional indoor cameras and maybe an external"

"the only negative is that there is nothing to explain how the sd card works"

"it comes with a very long power cable is well packaged with comprehensive instructions which are well written and easy to follow"

"this item is rubbish it does not work will not connect to my phone "

"after a few days the cameras stopped working"

"the câmera works as any cheap camera would"

"extremely disappointed"

"i had a few problems with json errors when viewing clips on mobile data i found out this was due to vodafone blocking the site and a simple live chat asking vodafone to unblock restricted content solved this immediately"

"but you still worry"

"the spaniels i might add are really boring when i check and are just asleep"

"awful product"

"got first camera working then tried to add the second camera total night mare the quick delivery is the only positive thing i can add in fairness when it did work all for 10 mins the picture was really clear camera one then decided to switch itself off and on so i gave up also doesn’t link to alexa very well at all as described"

"night vision is the most importatant part for a camera because anything can be happen in the night and this awful camera has no night vision capability at all"

"to my phone gave me a lot of peice of mind but sadly 3 weeks after conecting the q5 the first and replaced k5 has again packed up and im in no mind the q5 will shortly fol low it so its not one that i could recomend spending money on unfortunately and i will cirtainly not waist anymore of my time with emails to the companey that may well send another replacement but i would rather save up and buy one i wont have to keep replaceing sorry but my view is dont buy one"

"they will only work with their proprietary "cloud" software which is buggy as hell and does not work most of the time"

"pointless and annoying"

"this camera performed perfectly"

"absolutely useless"

"i cannot recommenced this as the clips only viewable for less than two days unless by there cloud subscription pathetic so wouldn’t bought it if knew that"

"we had a minor issue at one point but we emailed the manafacturer and their service was amazing even with the current climate and lockdown we explained our issue and they sent out a new camera to us they even followed up to ensure it arrived which took only a couple of days i may add"

"i was slightly disappointed to discover that i can’t adjust the lens remotely via the app but it’s not a massive inconvenience as i’ve just played around with the camera to capture what i want and it’ll stay that way"

"for the price it's an absolute bargain i got them to see what the animals get up to while i'm out i cant fault the the quality of images great i confused my irritating mutt when he was barking like an idiot for no reason apart from the wind was blowing i set it for motion record when sleeping to catch"

"my son has epilepsy and only has them in this sleep leaving him on his own at bedtimes is very difficult and i can’t relax and mostly don’t leave him so i’m in bed same time as him"

"the only issue was that the motion alerts were not working"

"they quickly helped me resolve a small issue i was having"

"tried with different mobile same issue"

"27am apologising but advising it could be a wifi signal problem"

"every time showing error 5401 5403"

"the camera is small white and easily blends into the environment"

"i have spoken with wansview support a couple of times too and they are both polite and prompt with replies"

"it will work for 2 3 days then just totally crash again!"

"i currently have a neos smart camera but it is very laggy and the app constantly crashes so i want to replace it with something more stable and reliable"

"after reading the reviews of various comparable cameras i decided to buy a wansview camera as they were the only manufacturer that i couldn't find any evidence of them having had security flaws so i felt happy to give them a go the camera was quick and easy to set up the automatically generated qr code and audio cues' would be easy for anyone to follow"

"if i have to pick a small fault the sound lags the image by a fraction of a second but i'm guessing this can be fixed with an update"

"i was looking for a low cost wifi camera so that i could keep an eye on my mother at home as she has been unwell recently"

"also despite numerous updates in the 3 months i've had this camera the android app remains very buggy and erratic"

"the k5 device worked without a single issue for 2 months and suddenly stopped sending motion alerts and as with any device problems can arise but it is all about how these are resolved"

"avoid this"

"although this camera is alexa compatible with the wansview skill meaning you can view the camera on an alexa show device or with a firestick it does not support motion detection within alexa this means that you are unable to trigger any other routines this is an obvious flaw with the firmware rendering the device useless for me i was intending to use a sd card with the device but though i would use the cloud trial first however i did not wish to open a paypal account which seems to be required"

"had camera a few days now and it's worked perfectly until today with the stupid firmware update and how every time i close the app and go back into it no device ?"

"i had a few problems with json errors when viewing clips on mobile data i found out this was due to vodafone blocking the site and a simple live chat asking vodafone to unblock restricted content solved this immediately"

"edit: camera developed a fault where it could not format the sd card and reported an error message on the app"

"phone app version allowes longer password than pc version so if you get username password error on computer"

"also keep getting a stupid amount of emails from the company"

"the ability to invite a friend family member to view the app is great but there is a small limitation in that the invited friend can't view recorded videos only the live feed"

"i had no luck in achieving a successful scan until after several failed attemps the setup help dialogue intervened and suggested making the qr image larger"

"the spaniels i might add are really boring when i check and are just asleep"

"the only problem i have experienced was on saturday the 11th january 2020 when there was no picture on my phone but sound detecting movement"

"i've taken a star off as i'm getting an annoying buzzing sound through the app but other than that it's perfect and i have recommended it to my friends as a cheap alternative to an external cctv system"

"there was a slight problem early on so i contacted the uk mail and they replied almost immediately they knew about the problem as it was with their server"

"one for my lounge facing my front door one for the back door & also the kids room we have very expensive computer equipment in there along with games consoles too • fast delivery well packaged & looks very smart modern"

"i've taken a star off as i'm getting an annoying buzzing sound through the app but other than that it's perfect and i have recommended it to my friends as a cheap alternative to an external cctv system"

"one minor issue not a camera fault my mobile provider vodka honey blocks the manufacturers we stream as a default"

"i would give this a zero rating but that was not possible"

"the app was very easy to install and getting it to do what it needs to waa mercilessly childs play"

"ended up returning this as the power kept turning on and off which kind of rendered it useless : i wanted a nice little camera for inside my porch as we are currently isolating and having lots of deliveries that are being left in the porch without signatures and after one delivery was 'delivered' but wasn't we needed a small cheap camera to keep an eye on things"

"one minor issue not a camera fault my mobile provider vodka honey blocks the manufacturers we stream as a default"

"s d card i used my w d cloud drive to record to also can me viewed from iphone 11 and alexa show i would highly recommend this product to anybody who needs cctv camera or security deterrent in the home or garden"

"although this camera is alexa compatible with the wansview skill meaning you can view the camera on an alexa show device or with a firestick it does not support motion detection within alexa this means that you are unable to trigger any other routines this is an obvious flaw with the firmware rendering the device useless for me i was intending to use a sd card with the device but though i would use the cloud trial first however i did not wish to open a paypal account which seems to be required"

"yes surprisingly so and have had no issues reconnecting after the camera has been unplugged and then plugged back into the mains is the wansview cloud app friendly?"

"the main difference was the picture & sound quality and lack of lagging time difference between the image taken and shown on a device with the other 2 cameras we tried one had a 15 45 second lag on video so for example we would be talking to one of our children downstairs but we could still see them playing upstairs on the camera"

"is seems installation is difficult and time consuming"

"i didn't try cloud features due to my own privacy concerns"

"is it possible to give 0 stars"

"on 3 occasions i wanted to see who has been dumping rubbish outside my house and on those 3 occasions it hadn't recorded anything to the sd card"

"never connects"

"they barked one and i spoke to them and they settled down again"

"they are much smaller and lighter than my old cameras"

"motion detection very sensitive had to set it at minimum to avoid neurosis"

"good bits: looks good really easy setup excellent image quality good microphone and speaker system didn't require an sd card to work bad bits: only really bad bit was due to our slow wifi meaning there was a slightly laggy image"

"i will order some more for other rooms but maybe not the same model!"

"software is a bit lacking especially on desktop"

"i bought this camera so that i can watch my pet whilst i'm at work as he has been slightly unwell"

"i moved my camera from its original location and left it disconnected for about 3 months by which time i had forgotten my password and couldn’t get onto the camera again when i plugged it back in"

"for security reasons the invites last 30 minutes and it's usually not enough time so you end up having to send repeated invitations"

"then it started turning off or freezing on long periods of time and dispite resetting and trying to solve the problem it keeps happening its becoming a joke!"

"the app is absolutely rubbish the camera is online then 5 minutes later offline"

"a couple of slight cons: 1 during set up the device needs to scan a qr code displayed on the smartphone screen"

"it will randomly stop recording"

"the biggest negative however for me is that the recorded videos are only 10 seconds long"

"we had no issues with wifi i wonder if people that are having issues have not entered the name of their wifi and left the generic there and just entered their passwords!"

"motion has been detected but there has been no motion within the view of the camera i would recommend no one buys this product due to the poor software and constant false notifications!"

"immediately afterwards i was despatched a new replacement without any further questions"

"negatives: • okay so first thing is they need to sort out the app it’s very slow takes ages to connect and sometimes it’ll kick me out of the app if i navigate too fast"

"we purchased this camera as a night time monitor for our 1 y o twins to replace a broken expensive one we had been given for our previous child"

"it took 30 mins to set up as the guide was poor and the the golden blow pay for a subscription"

"it's driving me nuts"

"i bought this camera to view my front door as i was having too many unexpected visitors"

"i even went onto the admin settings for my wifi and turned 5ghz off renamed each of them separately and set new passwords to make sure there was no possible way of getting it wrong but it still did not connect!"

"i would have given this 5 stars but one of my smart cameras keeps crashing!"

"i’ve had wansview for a few weeks now and i’ve not had one problem with it!"

"2 due to slight security concerns i wanted to attach the device to my router guest access and while i was able to do that i couldn't then get the app to see it because as i found out later the whole poiint of guest access on my router is to allow guests access to email and the internet while preventing them from accessing any other devices in the same network"

"as it did not work for me i found my own modem had to be changed but the support was first class and i was offered a refund i have yet to fix it as my phone was also affected"

"update: after a month it stopped working so had to return it maybe it was just an 'off' one"

"i brought it as a ‘bunnycam’ so i could spy on my giant house rabbit when i was out as was intrigued as to what he gets up to home alone!"

"customer service was very quick and responsive so this problem was solved very quickly"

"after that little complication which you are going to have to do one day because most non phone and computer devices only support 2"

"next morning i turned my phone on and saw i had numerous alerts the cam records a few second video every time there is movement so i watched these short clips and halfway through there she was caught in the act!"

"i’d never considered monitoring our dog in the kitchen before as i thought it would be really expensive and difficult the camera was such good value and easy!"

"none of the offered glitch fixes really fit in with how the app doesn’t work"

"nothing was too much trouble and they really helped us "

"received a message via the app on monday saying there was a motion sensor problem and they were working hard to fix it it's now wednesday and the camera has stopped working completely!"

"bit annoying can’t make clips longer 10 secs too"

"we have found that two of us cannot be logged into the app at the same time which we found a bit disappointing however it works perfectly fine being used one at a time"

"if i have to pick a small fault the sound lags the image by a fraction of a second but i'm guessing this can be fixed with an update"

"i had a few problems with json errors when viewing clips on mobile data i found out this was due to vodafone blocking the site and a simple live chat asking vodafone to unblock restricted content solved this immediately"

"very hard to connect at first once connected was really delayed in picture"

"they barked one and i spoke to them and they settled down again"

"if you’re looking for a great little camera at a great price don’t hesitate to purchase this one"

"also i do not need to be able to remotely move the camera pan tilt which is why i went for this basic static model"

"i shall definitely be setting one up for my female skunk so i can keep watch for babies in breeding season"

"wansview have practically stalked me asking me to remove my review which has felt really uncomfortable actually"

"rubbish not even 6hrs worked app crash can’t see any"

"the app install is very easy although the app has crashed my phone once all i had to so was restart my phone and it has worked fine ever since"

"there is a slight delay between what you are watching and what is happening it seems but very impressed considering the price"

"also overheats so could be issues with it in future would not recommend"

"picture can be laggy at times but that is my internet"

"i can skip through the footage at the end of the day as any motion is detected and time stamped you can adjust the sensitivity "

"so absolutely nothing wrong with the camera but the app is shocking i got up and running with minimal effort but within 5 minutes something went down with the app and i could not get back online so sent it back got a refund shame really nothing wrong with the camera"

"the frustration is real with these camera's but if you are willing to follow all the steps and loose your mind in the process you will get there in the end"

"purchased for a friend as a gift as she has an elderly dog who has had some health issues so that she could check in on him when shes out"

"it took 30 mins to set up as the guide was poor and the the golden blow pay for a subscription"

"don’t waste a lot of money on these expensive cameras you won’t get better than this !"

"done every step and reset instruction given and nothing works"

"the picture freezes there’s no sound and when there is sound it’s distorted"

"i was met with a load of jargon that was beyond my simple capabilities of understanding you have to access the modem and switch off 5 ghz i tried this and then lost all internet"

"considering this camera was so cheap i honestly thought it would be junk"

"the reason why this function was a non negotiable is because of a spike in thefts and suspicious behaviour in our residential area and if there was a break in i would not have been able to share any footage with the police"

"i thought it could be my internet connection but it got worse and its completely out of order now but unable to return at this stage"

"the ability to save recorded files both locally via micro sd and also a cloud option is a plus too where a lot of other cameras have only cloud options and at a hefty monthly cost"

"but i have set it up in the corner of a room and not covers every angle i need to watch"

"i’d never considered monitoring our dog in the kitchen before as i thought it would be really expensive and difficult the camera was such good value and easy!"

"wouldn’t recommend"

"that was over £100 never worked very well and ceased working altogether in less than a month with no refund from the supplier"

"over all can not fault the camera"

"• they’re very small & hardly noticeable no one ever realises they’re there"

"received a message via the app on monday saying there was a motion sensor problem and they were working hard to fix it it's now wednesday and the camera has stopped working completely!"

"i figured that overall it was mostly positive and that maybe the people who gave it negative reviews were just not tech savvy or patient people millennial cockiness right there i know so anyhoo i decided to click the buy button"

"there is also a small speaker through which you can talk to using the app"

"on the whole i am very pleased with it my only gripe is the distortion when you speak through the microphone it is really quite bad"

"however there is no function option to simply switch off the camera"

"wainsview customer service worked hard to resolve the issue and promised a refund if it didnt recover"

"to my phone gave me a lot of peice of mind but sadly 3 weeks after conecting the q5 the first and replaced k5 has again packed up and im in no mind the q5 will shortly fol low it so its not one that i could recomend spending money on unfortunately and i will cirtainly not waist anymore of my time with emails to the companey that may well send another replacement but i would rather save up and buy one i wont have to keep replaceing sorry but my view is dont buy one"

"motion has been detected but there has been no motion within the view of the camera i would recommend no one buys this product due to the poor software and constant false notifications!"

"i’ve gotten used to it now as it’s roughly the same time of day as the sun sets but seems rather silly that it gets set off by that rather than actual motion"

"it isn't too bad for the price and i might be a little picky but i got the camera to use whilst im at work and it just doesn't do it seemlessly"

"you can be sure to receive outstanding customer service in the event of a query or a problem"

"clear picture alerts by email not got on 'the cloud' as yet but quite satisfied with what we have for the time being"

"slight grievance in that when it gets darker in the evening and as it switches to night vision it always sends me an alert"

"the night picture quality i found blurry but it might be my placement"

"i had been wanting a ring doorbell for a while now and i came across this instead with a much nicer price tag"

"i also used it to discreetly observe him at night to ensure he was not wandering while everyone else was asleep and the night vision and sensitive motion activation were excellent in this regard"

"“alexa show cam1” or “alexa hide cam1”"

"or please send me another power cord if you think is within warranty"

"i actually lost my patience with it and i was shamefully a bit rude and offensive in the e mail i sent to wansview support"

"once set up it is a cool bit of kit for keeping an eye on a room where the dog gets up to mischief"

"i was a bit unsure about this product after so many bad reviews but i have been so impressed for the price"

"after 3 other models all failing miserably to connect to my phone this one was incredibly easy in comparison"

"these drop outs can last from a few minutes to a few days"

"it sometimes detects things not there"

"i even went onto the admin settings for my wifi and turned 5ghz off renamed each of them separately and set new passwords to make sure there was no possible way of getting it wrong but it still did not connect!"

"see my photo attached of how i have my backdoor camera angled away from the window so i don’t have a glare at night i will be purchasing an outside one eventually"

"lengthy cable to power up"

"but unless you subscribe for the cloud storage service the options for local storage and retrieval of video clips triggered by motion alerts are limited"

"i shall definitely be setting one up for my female skunk so i can keep watch for babies in breeding season"

"alarm recordings are available almost immediately and i have convinced myself that hindsight recording is incorporated in the app"

"had alternate products and work seamlessly this product does not"

"you can choose whether to pay for cloud storage or use a memory card or just watch it live with no recording facility"

"ended up returning this as the power kept turning on and off which kind of rendered it useless : i wanted a nice little camera for inside my porch as we are currently isolating and having lots of deliveries that are being left in the porch without signatures and after one delivery was 'delivered' but wasn't we needed a small cheap camera to keep an eye on things"

"negatives: • okay so first thing is they need to sort out the app it’s very slow takes ages to connect and sometimes it’ll kick me out of the app if i navigate too fast"

"i have trouble logging onto the app when i’m out and the app will only give me motion detection if i press the button when i’m at home with the camera"

"to my phone gave me a lot of peice of mind but sadly 3 weeks after conecting the q5 the first and replaced k5 has again packed up and im in no mind the q5 will shortly fol low it so its not one that i could recomend spending money on unfortunately and i will cirtainly not waist anymore of my time with emails to the companey that may well send another replacement but i would rather save up and buy one i wont have to keep replaceing sorry but my view is dont buy one"

"this camera is rubbish"

"i had not realised the picture would be so poor i have limited street lighting so it can't pick anything up"

"excellent quality video for live stream i have not yet used the playback or save function this requires an external memory card which is not included "

"quite happy with my purchase for now i don’t appear to be having too many problems viewing with 4g and it is working for exactly the reasons i wanted it to"

"the biggest negative however for me is that the recorded videos are only 10 seconds long"

"got first camera working then tried to add the second camera total night mare the quick delivery is the only positive thing i can add in fairness when it did work all for 10 mins the picture was really clear camera one then decided to switch itself off and on so i gave up also doesn’t link to alexa very well at all as described"

"customers services advised me how to do it i already knew how but they didn't seem to grasp that it didn't work"

"i would give this a zero rating but that was not possible"

"we have found that two of us cannot be logged into the app at the same time which we found a bit disappointing however it works perfectly fine being used one at a time"

"good bits: looks good really easy setup excellent image quality good microphone and speaker system didn't require an sd card to work bad bits: only really bad bit was due to our slow wifi meaning there was a slightly laggy image"

"i have ring floodlights and am used to immediate pick up of motion"

"broke not long after purchase slow audio and video"

"in the cloud version i didn’t get a email to authorise despite adding to whitelist and many attempts"

"the camera was very easy to instal l and when i had a small problem with the wifi connection the support team were able to advise me very promptly"

"motion has been detected but there has been no motion within the view of the camera i would recommend no one buys this product due to the poor software and constant false notifications!"

"this is a simple camera that doesn't work with 3rd party software"

"we have 2 shitz shu’s that according to an annoying neighbour bark constantly these are proof that they don’t"

"we wanted a camera upstairs not as a security camera but for keeping an eye on the kids etc though the echo show mobile while cooking & cleaning downstairs without having to keep stopping and checking on them after every loud noise"

"with wansview that is not possible"

"only thing that's not specified is that your wifi password needs to be 31 characters or less and can't contain the symbols " "

"it turned out the problem was with my router which i rebooted"

"how can it miss not record someone dumping a kitchen sink they're quite large!"

"i sent it back as faulty as it was within the 30 day return period"

"i needed a small camera to go behind a venetian blind in a window adjacent to my front porch"

"once i had set up the on my phone i went on to the wansview website from my desktop and downloaded the pc software"

"so my expectations were very low"

"it only triggers when a bus or lorry drives past"

"these are deliberately restricted to 10 seconds !"

"we have 2 shitz shu’s that according to an annoying neighbour bark constantly these are proof that they don’t"

"easy to set up and records 12 second motion activity while not viewing"

"you expect the camera to be on when you are away from home only to find out it has stopped working"

"picture quality is great and motion alert delay is fairly negligible"

"so now it’s useless"

"the camera was used to catch our little dog getting up to mischief and once setup it works perfectly with good picture quality"

"i've tried everything recommended on the q&a page of the app but it still remains 'offline' for this reason i can't mark it more than a 1 star which is a pity"

"4ghz and not the 5ghz"

"for security reasons the invites last 30 minutes and it's usually not enough time so you end up having to send repeated invitations"

"unfortunately the software was very poor indeed"

"if the night vision ir is on then you get glare from the reflection but if you switch it off and have motion activated lights then it is excellent at recording detail although the proper outdoors security camera would be more appropriate"

"i had to return it next day as it simply would not finalise set up"

"you can change your settings to make it less sensitive and you can remove the notifications if you wanted to"

"the camera is set up to monitor an empty property so i want to receive alerts and a video clip if there is any movement"

"i do find though the the speak isn’t very clear when not in the property but i do not use this feature"

"i have contacted customer service and they confirmed that there is no way to change this"

"the only problem i have experienced was on saturday the 11th january 2020 when there was no picture on my phone but sound detecting movement"

"nothing wrong with my reception either"

"negatives: • okay so first thing is they need to sort out the app it’s very slow takes ages to connect and sometimes it’ll kick me out of the app if i navigate too fast"

"no reason to suspect it won't be just as great as this little camera is"

"no we are using sd storage card so don't need the cloud"

"i’m not decided the faulty ones just put me off a little and i need something reliable because of my seizures but if your using it for general keeping an eye on the house or pets then it’s spot on : would have had 5 stars if it wasn’t for the one not working right"

"this is my second camera first one not wansview this one was much easier to get set up and working"

"it took no more than 5 minutes and every worked perfectly"

"i took it out of the box downloaded the app and 4 minutes later i was looking at my puppy in his cage by way of high definition video!"

"however the cloud issue upset me so much i didn't use the camera in the end its lying in a bin somewhere!"

"i sent it back as faulty as it was within the 30 day return period"

"so now i have a camera that won’t film anything"

"not tried night vision so can't comment on this"

"i've had an ip camera before so i wasn't expecting much"

"it doesn’t pan or tilt but it isn’t really required when positioned in the corner of my room and it provides 120 degree angle of viewing"

"4ghz no idea how at last the cam connected and was ready to go it had taken me 4 hours!"

"however the cloud issue upset me so much i didn't use the camera in the end its lying in a bin somewhere!"

"only criticism is that the speaker could be better"

"handy when i'm upstairs and don't hear the door"

"we have our property and garage alarmed but are always concerned about security"

"it can also be set to send notifications to your phone whenever motion is detected and the motion events are also saved as small clips on your phone or in the cloud"

"a couple more points to consider when buying this camera it produces a crystal clear 1080p hd video stream but the zoom is digital so video perfectionists will be disappointed"

"also not wireless at all"

"the setup is easy the app walks you through it and it literally takes no more than 2 minutes"

"if you are thinking of buying this camera but are unsure of its quality due to the price don’t delay buy it!"

"we purchased this camera as a night time monitor for our 1 y o twins to replace a broken expensive one we had been given for our previous child"

"not very good at night if facing outdoors as reflection on glass but works when outside light is triggered"

"no need for concern"

"however in order to use it to look out a window at night it is quite poor as you have to switch off the leds"

"no online chat help from their website only from cloud app which isn't dowloading"

"the worst ever camera"

"it asks for your email and password then just buffers and doesn’t do anything else cheap chinese product wish i’d bought something else!"

"the advisor then asked me to send a video showing me using the correct procedure for downloading footage which i did and then i did not recieve a reply"

"i will admit that i never read the disription and was disappointed that i couldn't move the picture with the app"

"on the non cloud version it wouldn’t connect to wifi"

"the wansview team quickly rectified this issue and i’ve had no issues since"

"then once set up on my phone i asked alexa to find devices and that set itself up with no further input from me"

"first here are the pros: easy setup great picture quality great motion detection well priced sturdy build quality long cable easily viewing on the app automatic night vision well packaged cons other family members can be invited to view the camera but they can only see stills and not videos motion detection cannot be adjusted to your preferences video clips are usually no longer than 30 seconds and cannot be adjusted to your preferences you have to purchase cloud storage in order to view footage that is older than 2 days and it's quite expensive for a largely unknown company"

"for such a small cost i am so impressed with these little bulb like cameras"

"i purchased both the wansview q5 & k5 after a recently burglary of my neighbours property and i can thoroughly recommend these affordable cameras"

"bit pricey for the year but if you're using 3 camera's then worth it"

"99 we were dubious at the quality we were likely to receive but for such little money it felt worth the risk"

"i've got a nest cam and don't get me wrong it's fine"

"i downloaded the app and tried to register using a second email address in desperation but never got an email back"

"it couldn't be easier"

"weird how i've given it an over all awful review but the things are 5 star"

"can access the camera from anywhere with the app on my phone can even talk through the camera if you press and hold the microphone button in the app whilst speaking"

"while syncing i got distracted and started doing house chores and forgot about the camera"

"brought this for an elderly lady to give her peace of mind when leaving her husband at home easy to set up app downloaded straight away onto her iphone now she can check her husband is behaving if she has to pop out she now knows if he gets up so can check he hasn't had a fall and if he has she can get the onsite care team to attend him straight away he has his lifeline etc but she needed the peace of mind knowing she can check that someone has attended to him"

"the installation of these little cameras makes them perfect for the non techy person whois possibly worried about being swamped with something awkward to install"

"they assured me the problem would soon be resolved and it was"

"deserves no stars!"

"besides that the app is terrible"

"bad shopping experience!"

"you don't even need to subscribe to the cloud service unless you want to keep your alarm recordings for some extended period of time and or don't want to lose them if the camera is stolen"

"the ability to save recorded files both locally via micro sd and also a cloud option is a plus too where a lot of other cameras have only cloud options and at a hefty monthly cost"

"i have not tried the cloud solution with monthly cost as this is not something i need"

"the motion detection has been a little off but a new firmware has just been released to sort this issue out and you can turn the motion on and off"

"i could not connect to the wifi for love nor money"

"having bought an outdoor camera and very happy with it i wanted another one to monitor another room not shown in the photos"

"for the money you really can’t go wrong"

"i thought it could be my internet connection but it got worse and its completely out of order now but unable to return at this stage"

"with some use i have to say the image quality isn't brilliant in some lighting conditions hence the 3 star rating original review: so it has the potential to be a great product at its price point but as it stands you are unable to view the camera when out of house through 4g due to a current firmware issue due to be solved by start of september i've been told"
