74.8% |
some trouble in both products"i had some trouble connecting these cameras to my wi fi at 1st"

72.7% |
very disappointed in both products"i am just very disappointed i cannot return the other camera or even request a refund as i have no power adapter to set up the second camera which is now left redundant"
|
54.8% |
faulty unit in both products"the camera whilst working was a fairly good product for the price paid the problem & the reason of the low rating is due to the customer support while the support for set up alone was good the issue with support for returning a faulty unit is a complete nightmare"
|
54.5% |
stay connected in both products"no matter which ever way i tried it would just not stay connected"
|
54.4% |
could be better in both products"camera isn't perfect though and a few things could be better might even be the app and not the camera to be honest"
|
53.6% |
complete waste"the motion detection on the camera is a complete waste of time and will just alert you every couple of minutes even when there is absolutely nothing there so i had this disabled the whole time i owned the camera which is a really big disadvantage!"

99.9% |
total darkness"i don't know how it would work in total darkness but for me it's fine"
|
99.6% |

96.4% |
will be buying"as soon as they do this i will be buying!"

96.2% |
record continuous"you would either have to get a memory card to record continuous but then in the event of it being stolen you have list all the footage or pay £8 a month for 24 7 recording to the cloud"
|
92.5% |
connection is so terrible"the camera itself isn't bad by any means and especially for £40 however the biggest fault i have with it is the connection and even though i have a wifi extender literally less than 4 metres away from the camera really the connection is still garbage half the time it says the camera isn't on which is rubbish because i know it's on it's just the connection is so terrible"
|
89.8% |
every drop"i still need to play with the settings much more to get it all right as i am getting alerts for every drop of rain that falls at the moment and that’s on the lowest sensitivity setting"
|
89.8% |
tideious and frustrating"i like that you can add a micro sd card in and it will record everything for you but setting these up can be tideious and frustrating"

74.9% |
fall apart"the camera body is ok mostly plastic so will either fall apart or last until the next millennium"
|
74.9% |
made cheaply"so we have power it's a standard dc connector and massive extension cables are cheaply available through amazon lan with an indicator led built in again a 25m run is easily purchased but even longer can be made cheaply and thirdly a weatherproof wifi reset button: i default away from wifi but recognise the brilliant innovation this option is just try getting up a ladder and removing the access plate to locate a tiny black button inside the body of the unit "
|
74.9% |
fault this"honestly can't fault this especially as we got it when it was on offer"
|
74.8% |

74.8% |
annual fees"seems good value for money but the costs to subscribe to cloud services are not clear at the outset so i guess the low product price is balanced with the annual fees to subscribe"
