"my only gripe is the app although it works it will not work on older android devices"

"the only issue i can say is that i would have preferred it if the main cable could be unplugged from the camera to make it easier to feed through a wall"

"there are a lot more expensive cameras out there but this one does the job"

"i got it on but then the app didnt work"

"the major down side is the cloud storage it’s very expensive and only one user from the household can view the cloud storage"

"wansview w4 the camera came with all the fixing require to install it to the wall the cable is a little to short to get through the cavity but that’s not a deal breaker i have not tried the cloud based software yet but once i get round to it i will test out the 30 day free trial then its only around £6 and month after that great for security in mind there also a motion detection service that’s free your phone pings every time something passes its path"

"sometimes it takes a little patience for the wifi connection to take place but once set up there should be no further issues and you can keep track of the camera via any ios or android device with the app installed"

"the camera definitely meets my needs it has worked through rain and snow without any connection issues at all"

"the power cable on the plug is quite long but i still had to use an extension"

"do not waste your money on this"

"slight delay but nothing major"

"for a cheap camera it is good"

"the only negative i had was that the lead from the camera for an ethernet connection if you choose to connect it this way is a little short for it to come into the premise through the wall and hence i had to use an ip junction box to house the cable in however this only adds to the look of it overall as it looks more professional"

"also works really well with alexa and my fire stick i will for sure be using this company again highly recommend"

"not a huge issue but could be better"

"my first camera had issues i think it ended up becoming water logged after we had terrible rain and the night vision was glitching however customer service sent out a brand new one with a week or so"

"they only positive aspect of this camera is that it has decent picture quality but pretty much everything else makes this camera an utter waste of money"

"the set up wasn’t as smooth as expected on the first day to account registration activation failure delay"

"but by far the worst thing is that every now and then the camera goes off line"

"it’s really frustrating that this camera doesn’t work with an nvr"

"when i went through the set up to connect to wifi camera would only work for about 20 seconds and then cut out i had to unplug to reset i was a bit disappointed with the camera i found the email for support and emailed to my surprise i had a answer after about a hours it was sunday with clear instruction"

"it takes forever to login and doesn’t work times out most of the time"

"the 10 second limit extreamly affects the use of the product"

"no answer waste of £25 company wrote to me to offer a refund plus £10 to remove the comment on amazon"

"my biggest disappointment is with the wansview cloud app both on my phone and pc version"

"the worst camera iv had not happy at all "

"2 only one user can log in and view the camera at a time which is extremely annoying and useless"

"it keeps losing connectivity and keeps turning off"

"the only small issue is that it can be a bit too sensitive to anything moving like grass or rain"

"i know a poorly made item when i see it"

"i’ve got a few other wansview cameras and cannot fault them and the customer service is excellent i would absolutely recommend it"

"* the camera shuts down without you realizing it but there would be chunks of gaps of missing footage i wouldn't recommend this camera to anyone i know"

"the only downside is the really chunky wires that need drilling through the wall!"

"sensitivity adjusted it's not all plain sailing hence the 3 5 stars"

"i realized that by then the 30 day trial had expired even without even turning on the camera and that company had taken the annual subscription charge from me through paypal"

"though i can see it being useful for those that require this feature for £30 the camera is extremely good value for money it isn't cheap flimsy plastic rubbish like most are for this price"

"not what you’d usually expect from a lesser known chinese brand"

"being returned my wifi is 5g so doesn't work"

"i believe this has a few major drawbacks"

"it connects but drops immediately"

"a static picture seems good quality but when there is movement you get lag drift & pixel distortion more often than not"

"i had a little problem setting the camera up as it would not read the qr code but after contacting customer support they suggested printing the code bigger which did the trick"

"no mention was made in the selling literature that you had to subscribe to an separate i cloud storage facility"

"1st was wifi dropping out accepting that maybe a signal strength issue so opted for a wired connection and reconfigured it to suit"

"only thing is if you have poor wifi like me it does take a while to load but it is still recording whilst loading"

"app very clunky"

"eg a indecent happed and it was not captured on my camera because the camera stopped filming at that point"

"guess will have to return this if i dont get my verification email by the morning"

"* another thing i found annoying is the camera will automatically cut after a few minutes during recordings which will reflect in some missing footaging that may have been useful"

"i know this w4 outdoor camera isn't the most expensive but i was hoping for a little better as i have the k2 indoor camera which i am very happy with"

"as far as the camera is concerned adding it to the app and putting it into operation was very simple"

"i found this to be utterly useless for me"

"but once it was fitted up on the outside wall problems began"

"the ball joint for adjusting angle makes much easier to fit and the camera itself is much smaller and has alexa functionality that works great shame this couldn't be added for existing models however one of the biggest issues for me is old cameras and new cameras have to be operated on separate apps which for someone who already has many wansview cameras doesn't work for me"

"i would like to use my own client app or at the very least be able to login via a browser"

"as this was my first time using an app based wifi camera i was intrigued to find out how "much hassle" it would be to set up"

"not difficult but slightly annoying"

"it is smaller than i thought it would be and smaller than the ezviz but that doesn't matter"

"purchased this wifi camera as my last one failed"

"they offer a 30 day free trial cloud recording service"

"took me a couple of hours getting 1 of them up and running then wasted a day trying to get the the other one working then wasted ages again trying to go through it all again with their support"

"looking at the app reviews it seems a lot of people have had the same problem"

"that said i'm overall satisfied with these despite the constant resetting it's still a deterrent in itself and nobody knows of the cameras are working or not unfortunately neither do i half the time until i look at the app"

"i had to leave the ethernet cable hanging outside as i can't drill that much without being worried about structure"

"then a much smaller hole could be drilled"

"ok it's a bit here and there with this type app is awlful drops off when it feels like but the picture night vision and install of it is pretty simple app is getting worse need vital evidence no ya can't get it with this it's dreadful"

"when it arrived and i opened the box i was very surprised with how sturdy it felt and all its accessories i had a little trouble setting it up so contacted the customer service who were absolutely brilliant they suggested ways to sort it out which worked a few days later they checked up just to make sure it was working which i appreciated"

"overall problem solved really satisfied with the product despite my old review because great customer service really does change the game and of course the product itself is doing its job pretty well now that its working"

"fixings supplied are good the cons i feel with this product are: lack of installation instructions and information on how best location needs a large diameter hole for the ethernet plug may require specialist drill if mounting on brick wall would be better is settings enabled adjusting how long video clips are recorded for on motion detection the default is a bit on the short side for my liking"

"the camera meet my needs it has really good night vision but it is sensitive to raindrops and small insects buzzing around"

"first as the camera is connected to the internet rather than being only accessed locally it exposes a lot of security risks it might get hacked"

"we are no longer running to the window as nosey neighbours at every noise from paranoia"

"4 the login server is extremely slow and unreliable"

"these cameras are just great value great picture quality both night and day my only slight quibble is the cabling supplied is bulky at the camera and very short "

"i would think with recordings with that layout there should be a next button that allows you to jump to the next clip"

"downside is that motion detector is quite sensitive to wind blown leaves cobwebs etc"

"the wansview cloud app is pretty basic but provides all that is necessary for a simple cloud based camera operation at a budget price"

"i just followed the instructions and had the device running within ten minutes i think the most difficult part was having to point the actual camera at my tablet which was displaying a qr code that was part of the set up process just had to have a little patience steady hand and good aim it has now been running outdoors for ~6 weeks it is monitoring a robin nesting box with no issues at all"

"i find this is the biggest downside to this camera and if recording time could be extended to 20 secs or more then i would have given this camera 5 stars"

"the app does not work"

"the only thing it does not have is sound"

"even to try the 30 day free trial you have to provide your paypal account nice little earner there from all those forgetful people like me that start the free trial and then forget to cancel it before it runs out "

"it's a ok camera could be improved theres a massive delay when someone goes by or a car by the time the camera shows a object passes it has already happen 30 seconds before"

"the ball joint for adjusting angle makes much easier to fit and the camera itself is much smaller and has alexa functionality that works great shame this couldn't be added for existing models however one of the biggest issues for me is old cameras and new cameras have to be operated on separate apps which for someone who already has many wansview cameras doesn't work for me"

"finally after i complained my camera misteriously stopped even powering on"

"camera was ser up for wireless operation using my bt5 hub"

"just a shame the wifi signal was not strong enough to set it up without wires"

"* another thing i found annoying is the camera will automatically cut after a few minutes during recordings which will reflect in some missing footaging that may have been useful"

"mounting the camera was a breeze just had to align and finalise where i wanted it drilled the holes and used the rawplugs provided then mounting the camera to the 3 holes drilled and then screwing it down"

"honestly people say you can't put a price on safety but for less than £30 i can't see why everyone doesn't have them!"

"it just means that the hole needed to pass the cable through will need to be quite large 65mm at the largest point ethernet cable end and with no way to disconnect it from the camera body left with no choice"

"i bought this on amazon because it stated it was half price but after finding it for £20 on ebay clearly this is not half price at all the image is great and the night vision too there is sadly no audio recording on this the app is useless unless you pay for the cloud too store your videos as from the"

"eventually connected it to ethernet updated firmware camera connected but no image"

"then the one that was working stopped working"

"i cant help but feel the way the software is designed is to make you buy cloud storage and stop you from recording by other means as unlike previous models you cannot set cameras to write to a hard drive via ftp which offered a low cost recording solution"

"i haven't tried the cloud storage yet as for my needs is is less important"

"* the camera shuts down without you realizing it but there would be chunks of gaps of missing footage i wouldn't recommend this camera to anyone i know"

"what it doesn’t tell you is that if you want to benefit from the full use of it then you need to sign up and pay for cloud storage and only payable using paypal"

"really disappointed to camera i’ve had before 😞"

"i run several websites and they use webcams to provide tourist information"

"what puts me off is that it is a hong kong website you have to pay for storage and also there is a small delay on the camera with cars going past about a two second delay but not a problem"

"waste of money only works with wansview apps nothing else not even the ispy app on pc"

"sending it back as it may work well but not as described"

"i had trouble at first when connecting the app to my camera but this was because my wifi signal was weak"

"nb if you have a dual band router which most modern ones are you will have to disable the 5ghz band temporarily whilst you set the camera up as the phone has to be on the same band as the camera ie 2"

"it does integrate with alexa but this is much too slow and laggy to be much use"

"doesn’t make sense"

"the image quality is pretty good even in the infrared by that i mean you can recognise a face easily but there is no zoom feature to restrict field of view i wanted to exclude the neighbours property "

"impossible to connect"

"camera was easy to set up and now waiting for lambing to start in late january!"

"i can’t use a wired lan cable as i have no method of routing it i rent so can’t just drill holes 3"

"the aerial kept falling down wouldn't stay upright even though i tried nipping it with a ba spanner"

"this review is based purely on lack of functionality"

"all i can say is that i was not disappointed with this in the slightest!"

"this has been a problem with most of the outdoor cameras i've had so it's not an issue specific to this model"

"find the right area you want to site the camera and then follow the clearly written instructions in good english drill holes screw it up to the wall ceiling wherever"

"now i can see any suspicious activities around my house from anywhere in the world"

"4ghz broadband as 5ghz will not work"

"the reviews for the app are appaling and i wish i'd seen these before buying"

"only downside i would say depends though on the use case is that it's missing a microphone"

"but despite the settings saying i have got the alert set it doesn’t alert me"

"so far we have seen a cat and hedgehog at night and lots of birds 😊😊"

"as a diy novice i was a little skeptical but the instructions are clear and very straight forward"

"the update kept on failing over wifi even after leaving it for 3+ hours"

"this alone makes the cameras unreliable"

"i purchased this for security for my business and had tried a number of other cameras from other companies which i had to send back to them as i was not happy with them"

"disappointing given i'd already said a don't use paypal to the same person and in the same chain of emails this should not have been offered or at least they should have been upfront about this in the first place if they are unable to refund the same way it was paid for"

"update do not fall for the email scam they send you"

"this was also a painful experience"

"i'm also reluctant to subscribe to the cloud fees as the picture quality isn't great"

"has had the firmware updated and the echo shows are the only items that run on wireless everything else is ethernet cabled"

"we are no longer running to the window as nosey neighbours at every noise from paranoia"

"i bought 7 on sale and you get what you pay form if you are technically bad with computers this may frustrate you"

"terrible product"

"it has a little weather cap to help take the glare of the sun out of the shot and to stop rain dripping on the lens"

"after googling and trying!"

"i should add i have done many checks of my devices and wifi with no improvement"

"absolute piece of junk"

"returned as utterly useless to me"

"there is one cable from the camera which splits into 3 at the end providing connections for power ethernet and an external re set button"

"not a huge issue but could be better"

"i have turned off the notifications on my app which works well but doesn't suit me"

"customer service seems non existent and the online faq is poorly translated c from chinese"

"4 the login server is extremely slow and unreliable"

"biggest gripe?"

"what the hell is this!"

"buyer beware!"

"and the thing that works for us is we can look at them any time but only one of us gets the notification when the camer is triggered so we are not being distracted at work evt"

"can’t fault the camera the app or customer support"

"wansview cloud app is very easy to use the one feature which attracts me that you have to invite other users to login independently and it’s not like that i had to give my password credentials for others to login which is extra security feature"

"so takes short recordings when it senses motion i did buy 2 of these the one for out the back is ro keep an eye on the kids and dogs"

"for my installation would have been better if it did not have a plug just bare wires to install in a connected box"

"it also lights up red at night to help deter people away"

"we did have issues with setup and connecting to the wifi and please note that you do need 2g to connect the camera to as it doesn't connect to 5g"

"you can find which i did later when i returned mine much better options for an extra 5 or 10£ with 2 antenas tf card storrage and even some free cloud storage app the camera connects it self"

"slight lag on live feed but the picture really makes up for it"

"after using this for over a month i have had some major issues with it"

"this makes it fairly useless for my needs and the intention is to return it"

"the only negative thing i could mention is the size of the hole needed for the cables as i expected to use only the camera with wifi i did not need to use the ethernet cable "

"detection is so sensitive even the smallest bug can be detected i am so impressed i have already ordered another one cloud storage is great too and 3 options to suit your budget many systems don't offer you that"

"anyways there is a slight reflection from the window but it's nothing major"

"mounting the camera was a breeze just had to align and finalise where i wanted it drilled the holes and used the rawplugs provided then mounting the camera to the 3 holes drilled and then screwing it down"

"the picture is very clear and faces are recognisable"

"not do great if someone decides to come and cause havoc and then are not captured in the act!"

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

"motion detection algorithm is not good though"

"the issues i encountered were down to my error not the device"

"i have already subscribed and paid for the cloud service £65 total per annum for 1 3 cameras but you can pay an additional subscription for 5 or even 7 external cameras which works really well as it only records motion and stores it via your wifi straight into the cloud and is kept there for up to 7 days so you can review the recorded footage or current footage from your mobile phone and it has an app alert if it detects movement"

"the only slight downside is that at night it does pick up the motion of moths passing in front of the lens but i am sure if i adjust the motion detection this may change"

"i also set up continuous recording via the cloud based service offered which again is a very low cost annual fee"

"without the app the camera is useless"

"the aerial kept falling down wouldn't stay upright even though i tried nipping it with a ba spanner"

"i ordered the camera so that my parents who are elderly farmers could keep an eye on their handful of breeding sheep who lamb in a small barn next to the farm house"

"so any decent robber just needs to take longer than 10 seconds and the camera will miss them"

"why can't it keep me logged in v"

"ok it's a bit here and there with this type app is awlful drops off when it feels like but the picture night vision and install of it is pretty simple app is getting worse need vital evidence no ya can't get it with this it's dreadful"

"however just recently there was an update to the camera which caused a small problem but have to say after emailing the seller via the app it was resolved within 48hrs"

"i got it for a specific purpose as i have a few problems with my upstairs neighbour and i need proof"

"4g portion of the signal but i had it confirmed by support that this isn't possible"

"shame that these software and cabling issues are letting it down as the picture and night mode is awesome and the hardware quality is one of the best i've see in these budget cameras"

"even contacted me again the following week to make sure problem was rectified"

"but it's not that expensive in fact i thick it's quite cheap"

"hit and miss with the motion detection in only filming the first few seconds of motion control then missing the rest completely"

"this restriction is not immediately obvious"

"the worst thing about is the fact that the app it uses has no free cloud storage plus camera also has no no tf card option"

"you will still get hundreds of false alerts all day"

"the cloud service is next to useless too 2"

"if i hear a noise outside by the time i've logged in and the connection sorts itself out whatever or whoever it was are long gone"

"old review i cant even test it out"

"well if you look at the most recent review saying that it’s a great camera especially with the sd storage card ?"

"we bought this to view the wildlife coming into the bottom of our garden and it dies the job well"

"id also like to say the issue of disconnecting wanswiew replaced my first camera and where very very helpful they tried to remotely fix the problem but as soon as they couldn’t the new camera arrived a day or two after they sent it out via amazon priority thank you wanswiew for all your help and product and would buy again without any hesitation"

"how do i return the original camera as it must be under warranty?"

"my motorbike was stolen from my drive and this camera didn't record anything"

"box nothing is stored i i had not already installed this i would be returning it just based on the lie this this was rrp £50 and half price but on ebay are only £20 new"

"clicking on the cloud storage icon read ' did not join any storage plan' though i have made a payment for the plan and have not received any refunds"

"if you buy the pir it is extremely keen so beware where you put it but to be fair that's what it is for "

"it only records motion which can be stored on the actual app cant remember how long for or 7days rolling paid with cloud on a monthly quarterly or yearly plan"

"the ball joint for adjusting angle makes much easier to fit and the camera itself is much smaller and has alexa functionality that works great shame this couldn't be added for existing models however one of the biggest issues for me is old cameras and new cameras have to be operated on separate apps which for someone who already has many wansview cameras doesn't work for me"

"voice controlled so you can alert intruders whilst you're away from home"

"restarted several times checked through settings for ages uninstalled and reinstalled app camera i received would not show an image"

"the drilling pattern sticker made it very easy to get the holes ready for mounting"

"it was fairly easy to set up although my camera would not read the qr code to connect so we had to download the app onto my partner’s phone and then it read it straight away"

"for this price what can you possibly do wrong"

"detection is so sensitive even the smallest bug can be detected i am so impressed i have already ordered another one cloud storage is great too and 3 options to suit your budget many systems don't offer you that"

"on this setting you get nothing else"

"we had to connect them on different routers as our wifi signal didn’t reach the garage "

"detection is so sensitive even the smallest bug can be detected i am so impressed i have already ordered another one cloud storage is great too and 3 options to suit your budget many systems don't offer you that"

"hello all i was using sanview cams but they never worked i looked for something working with alexa and i found the w4 omg took a sec to set up and now i have them in all my kid's rooms and outside i emailed support asking for some help to get all 4 cams to show up on a pc and i had replies from the support"

"we live in quite a wooded area so not a fault of the camera whatsoever"

"a great teething problems setting it up to begin eot"

"also app permissions are alittle odd"

"very disappointing coz i was really looking forward to trying this out"

"can't really go wrong"

"it’s basically you jump through several hoops of reviewing their current product sending screenshots as evidence "

"set up: in the hallway of my flat block so outside but not in the elements"

"good for the money but wouldn’t pay full price although i like it and delivery was fast i don’t like that to record day and night you need to subscribe and the cost is to pricy to keep these running on record every day of the week but it will record movement of up to around 15 seconds iv found some far"

"plus point for the old app it keeps you logged in always!"

"if i had any issues with the camera it's the motion detection which picks up flys even on the lowest setting but it's nothing majorly annoying as i prefer to have that footage"

"restarted several times checked through settings for ages uninstalled and reinstalled app camera i received would not show an image"

"so if you're using it and another family member logs in you get automatically logged out"

"secondly the camera has a big fat cable meaning if you want to install it outside you need to drill a hole about 1 inch in size which is a joke"

"then i found that when someone came up my path it didn't record that!"

"1bout a 10m second lag so not much use to check when someone knocks on the door as they have left by the time the picture comes on the screen phone and alexa unfortunately a good camera let down by having to subscribe for it to be any use payments and laggy response"

"my front security camera installed by an electrician has disintegrated in the heat!"

"wish i could give zero"

"you will need around a 25mm drill bit if fixing no to external wall due to bulky ethernet adapter"

"even to try the 30 day free trial you have to provide your paypal account nice little earner there from all those forgetful people like me that start the free trial and then forget to cancel it before it runs out "

"i gave up on the wifi and ended up forking out more for a wifi extender with an ethernet input so i could wire it"

"we did have issues with setup and connecting to the wifi and please note that you do need 2g to connect the camera to as it doesn't connect to 5g"

"it does integrate with alexa but this is much too slow and laggy to be much use"

"sending it back as it may work well but not as described"

"the camera is cloud only so no internal memory card but the app can be used to save footage to your phone"

"sensitive to motion rain sets it off which is annoying"

"you can adjust the sensitivity i have not messed with this yet but i suspect i can exclude "moths" if i reduce the sensitivity"

"no security reasons for that"

"however this is not a pre requisite as when alerts are triggered a 10sec video is downloaded to your mobile device"

"then comes the crap you have to go buy the camera jump through all their hoops again and then give them your paypal details and they will refund you !"

"it has more wires than my current wired system and you will need to drill a big hole through your wall to feed the thick ethernet dongle through"

"i find this annoying"

"having seen the price of this camera i thought that i would give it a try to the rear of my premises it took a little while to sort it out maybe with everyone else using the internet but with the help from there support team it's a nice little camera"

"i had my doubts about this because it was only £25 but very surprised how brilliant this really is "

"does lack a some bit"

"the camera doesn’t have a very long range to connect to a wireless network plus when it detects any movement the recording stops after only a few seconds"

"3 it take no more the 2 mins for the wifi blue tooth connection"

"i use this camera for viewing the front of my property after a theft of a motorcycle"

"i was a little surprised disappointed that it did not feature onvif rtsp but was advised that they can apply a firmware update to add support for this which means i can add it to my other camera's in ispy"

"have already returned 1"

"the image quality is pretty good even in the infrared by that i mean you can recognise a face easily but there is no zoom feature to restrict field of view i wanted to exclude the neighbours property "

"there is a drilling template provided to assist in correctly locating fixing holes to mount the camera unit outside this was very useful and helped enormously in making a professional job of mounting the camera"

"in the first two weeks of operation there is a bus service goes down past my house and there is only 5 a day hourly mon fri the camera captured the bus a total of three times out of ten events i have little idea what i am doing with it and as i am not rich enough to pay for cloud access i am stuck with just the alerts one night kids tipped over my 4 recycling buckets and again the camera was as useless as a chocolate fireguard ok the night vision is really good as is the picture quality and the motion detection is too good it activated if rain is falling or a light shows from houses on the other side of the large park i live next to but it is still only as good as the times it actually activates at the correct time the lack of instructions with the package did not help either"

"pros= 1 good size not too big 2 well built metal construction 3 excellent pictures both night and day 4 pretty easy to set up cons= 1 cables attached to the camera are too big in diameter shame they can't be detached 2 lots of moths trigger the sensor at night 3 power cable quite short edit"

"this camera should be removed by amazon"

"the front one was ripped off the wall and stolen"

"and i must say wired setup is also a challenge"

"i use it to monitor my front door as i have an office at the bottom of the garden and i can't hear the doorbell"

"nice small camera sometimes struggling with connection tho shame it does not have memory card but i can take still images on my phone when motion is detected as long as the camera is online and loads working 90% of the time and a great deterrent always"

"unable to set camera up"

"if i'd known i wouldnt have bought this item"

"i am sending mine back"

"very old technology"

"what puts me off is that it is a hong kong website you have to pay for storage and also there is a small delay on the camera with cars going past about a two second delay but not a problem"

"clicking on the cloud storage icon read ' did not join any storage plan' though i have made a payment for the plan and have not received any refunds"

"if you want to connect it via ethernet cable then get an extra long one as the only provided is very small"

"the signal was so weak to the internet"

"the camera has a single cable exiting the unit with three short tails 1 a reset button 2 an rj 45 connector for wired ethernet connection and 3 a circular power socket"

"you do though need a watertight bid if installing externally for the plug and other bits"

"although the camera is a good build and quality for the price it's limited to what you can do"

"the camera has been added to the plan as per requirement the support team is a joke and they do not have anyone in the uk"

"forces you to use the new "wansview cloud" app which is a disaster"

"the only gripe i can think of is the thickness off the camera connections especially the internet one"

"initial setup is a little complicated but if you follow the instructions carefully then it works the only issue being that the cameras need a 2"

"using ethernet wired connection was not a major issue"

"once up the camera is easy to set up with the downloadable app qr code supplied and the images are as good as i have seen on some more expensive cameras"

"had this arrive today after looking around alot i found this on offer with an added amazon discount code it didnt work out to be cheapest but looked to be best value anyway when it arrived i opened it up and theres everything you need besides a drill and screwdriver to fit it actually included the corrected masonry drill bit for the plugs anyway about 10mins later it was installed setting up was very simple"

"cloud storage lasts for a 14 day trial then it is a very expensive subscription per camera"

"we also pay around £1 a month so we continue to receive video recorded notifications after the free trial ends a tiny amount for piece of mind "

"my only negative is that it is quite big and obvious on the front of the house"

"only minor issue found so far is that one sd card of two wouldn't 'mount' meaning it required manually reformatting on my pc but was soon sorted and have had no further issues with it"

"i have been a long time user of another brand of wifi camera but kept having connection issues so i though i would give netvue a go prompted by other reviews and there very competitive price"

"i took another reviewers suggestion of putting all of the wires in a junction box outside as the cables are too bulky as a group to easily put through the wall so i just put the power cable through"

"feel free to waste your money you really would be better getting a wired unit with a centrally controlled hard drive all at home as that will run for years with no issues"

"two way communication does work but has slight delay inevitable i guess "

"by comparison the cheap camera that i replaced kept buffering and losing connection constantly"

"compact camera but as this model has an ethernet plug on it you have to drill at least a 12mm hole to get the cable through the wall lots of teething problems but the online chat is instant and they always seem to fix the issues but i'd rather it just ran seamlessly than have any pro lems like dropped signal etc or a tf card that has worked perfectly well in the camera for 2 weeks suddenly is no longer recognised"

"well i've now set it up outside and had tried it on wi fi and on internet cable also as i have a fire stick and alex's i did link it to there account on a good note it works well with the app on a good but bad point as i did not adjust my settings but turned on motion detection it was cool for the first"

"camera isn't perfect though and a few things could be better might even be the app and not the camera to be honest"

"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!"

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

"the people with wifi issues either don't know what they are doing or have crap routers"

"it’s just incredibly frustrating"

"there is a time delay when watching on my phone but that is to be expected with all devices of this type"

"as soon as they do this i will be buying!"

"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"

"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"

"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"

"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"

"after lengthy and unsuccessful attempts to contact the company direct located in china with no apparent uk agent i was informed robotically via e mail chat that it only worked at 2"

"the only reason i give this 4 stars is because of the storage issue with multiple devices not being available"

"but it is not designed to be a high end 8 mega pixel camera with all the transmission and storage issues that you would come up against"

"the camera body is ok mostly plastic so will either fall apart or last until the next millennium"

"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 "

"honestly can't fault this especially as we got it when it was on offer"

"i got so fed up with various things going wrong such as the picture freezing that i thought i’ll sort it out tomorrow"

"i had issues setting up wifi connection but it turned out to be user error my end"

"setting up the wifi so as to use without the rj45 cable was my main gripe"

"months on still regular problems when it should just work it's unreliable bottom line in a product where reliability is critical we had an issue with car break inns and low and behold despite paying for the 24 7 service"

"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"

"not everybody realises you can make 3 or 4 adjacent holes to create a larger one it leaves me thankful that we share a world with folk like that because it means i still have a job"

"i thought the picture quality would be rubbish but it's really not"

"get the awful feeling that its spying on us"

"even though i set it up with just one square area of motion detection it still picks up loud noises when cars go past"

"and some cameras do lose connection sometimes"

"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"

"the camera is ultimately a wi fi camera but there are three annoying wires which you can't easily hide"

"i put an sd card into it which it quickly used the memory on you should be able to clear the card from the app but that doesn’t seem to work it gives an error message every time"

"there are video tutorials if your unsure as you setup"

"slight issue with the large network cable as i had to drill a very large hole to get this mounted to the wall so that no cables were showing"

"this made installation harder than need be as the screw heads are so soft they stripped immediately"

"the only problem i had was that i had to position the camera very close to the router as the camera kept dropping out even though the wifi signal showed 57% and that this was a good signal"

"i have had several problems since and sadly they were all caused by me!"

"it becomes expensive at $70 per year per camera"

"obviously the only way you know the camera isnt connected to tour router is when you open the netvue app"

"the instructions which come with it are easy to follow but unfortunately only tell you about installing it & nothing about using it but i found this information on the web"

"only minor issue found so far is that one sd card of two wouldn't 'mount' meaning it required manually reformatting on my pc but was soon sorted and have had no further issues with it"

"we have a particularly awkward outdoor view and cannot see the gate or visitors without going outdoors and round the corner so i decided to be brave and try an outdoor camera although it did seem a bit sci fi and hi tech for our rather basic household"

"only let down is the motion detection it doesn't pick my 6ft frame up but does trigger with flies"

"it takes a lot to impress me and get a security device put into my smart home and this camera has ended a long painful search"

"i’ve only just found a busy electrician to fit my camera"

"i had some trouble connecting these cameras to my wi fi at 1st"

"so we had a spate of tyre damages to cars outside the house so decided to get a good quality night vision camera to use as a deterrent to further problems"

"i have positioned my camera to cover my front garden so i don't want false triggers from the road outside it was very simple to disable the image zones where i don't want a notification then the sensitivity was adjusted with a simple slider"

"so unless you mount the camera under an overhang which shelters the camera from rain or snow then you are going to get a lot of false alerts"

"when it's sunny and cloud cover comes across again it false alarms"

"i've got a major problem trying to figure out how to house these cables"

"easy enough to install but i’ve had constant problems with the cameras stopping functioning when the cards fills up you get no alert this has happened even though it’s supposed to reformat automatically"

"having a built in speaker on the camera is just a bit of fun so far"

"this is the first issue"

"the device is up to date and never gets unplugged"

"one slight negative is that the mounting screws provided were of a very poor quality"

"disgusting support!"

"downsides motion detection sensitivity in app is not great app could have better features but not the worst either no option to view on laptop pc the drill bit that came with it was really poor quality that broke in less then 10 seconds of using"

"you tighten up some grub screws after adjustment which holds the camera rock solid so there are no false motion detections due to camera wobble "

"i do understand that expecting the wifi to go through two outdoor brick walls is a big ask"

"looks like i was given a returned damaged item"

"this is my second netvue product after purchasing an indoor camera for our babies nursery and this product is just as if not more impressive"

"there is a delay in the live view on the echo comared to the app on galaxy note"

"as there have been a few dubious people around decided on this vigil camera to keep a check out"

"the motion detection issue is now with their research team and i am confident that they will come up with a solution to the sensitivity issue very quickly"

"our postman had a right scare when we suddenly spoke out from it"

"i wish the motion detection had daily settings for when its active and a greater number of squares to get a more defined area"

"after a while i worked out that the wireless mesh network in my house was a little adva ced for the wifi card in the camera"

"the second and more bothersome is that when i tried to access the sd files in my computer i figured that the video files are in a proprietary format!"

"installation outdoors was pretty easy and took a few small adjustments to get the perfect picture"

"firstly the power wire is woefully short limiting placement unless you add in extension cables"

"everything needed seems to be in the box even down to a masonary drill if you were mounting against brick"

"i bought 2 of these cameras for my mum as she has had some unwelcome visitors looking around her property recently needless to say she hasn't received any problems since!"

"camera feels sturdy and solid has a built in mic to capture sound and also a speaker so you could even scare off unwanted visitors by talking into the app!"

"i would suggest that you carry most of step 4 with the included parts to weatherproof the ethernet connector unless i missed something "

"it was equally easy to pair it with alexa but the results are less satisfactory"

"my only quibble is that the aerial joint is not sufficiently stiff and the aerial flops around rather than standing upright"

"sound from the camera speaker is also good but useless for me as i have mounted the camera too high and cant hear it from the floor"

"installation to its location was easy and i only needed to use a small drill hole to feed the supplied power cable into an outdoor cable box where the power connection together with wifi and ethernet cable not being used in wifi set up and the camera was easily fitted into location a template was provided but i didn't use this"

"finally it’s not value for money and the motion detection when alerting gives a blank error which cannot be seen what it’s picked up"

"i will be buying a second camera 👍🏻 update after a few months: i left my previous review after the first week or so of having the camera after being bribed by netvue with 3 months free subscription to motion detection alerts"

"so this feature got turned off which is one of the reasons i wanted the camera it would notify that there was motion at my door i would ask alexa to show me the front door cam to see who it was then answer the door the whole process was to hit and miss and just takes too long by the time the video comes up the person would have left thinking there is nobody at home"

"the only shortcoming is the software which is limited for retrieving photos and videos from the sd card"

"slight issue with the large network cable as i had to drill a very large hole to get this mounted to the wall so that no cables were showing"

"the night vision is not very good but you still see so for me it’s awesome"

"having read previous reviews i thought very carefully about where i should position it to avoid a difficult installation"

"although a budget buy this camera does everything much more expensive cameras do and netvue appears responsive to customers in developing and improving its software"

"not normaly one who writes reviews however having purchased a number of alleged good external cameras all of which never came up to scratch as reviewed or advertised"

"don't waste your time"

"the camera does drop out of wifi so at times i cant see it on my phone but i've found that this doesn't mean it isn't working as the camera continues to record to the sd card when not connected to wifi so nothing is missed"

"it's younger sibling killed by the same update is going back on an amazon doa return"

"will definitely be buying netvue again if we need more"

"the support from netvue has recently been diabolical"

"i have used indoors netvue and they are great but i did not expect to be amazed by the quality of the outdoors one too"

"there’s also no web interface and support is definitely lacking"

"i have had cctv systems before that were far more expensive and was a little dubious about a camera at such a cheap price and thought that the quality would not be that good"

"by comparison the cheap camera that i replaced kept buffering and losing connection constantly"

"a real shame because when they first worked they were brilliant but they’ve clearly done something to the firmware that doesn’t play nice now"

"difficult to setup as it only works with 2"

"when this trial add on was removed from software the camera was completely disabled and had to return"

"best of all the power supply requirements are the same as my analogue system so they literally took minutes to swap over"

"but saying that think it would be the same or worse on any other camera"

"the picture quality with these is much better and i actually see the fact they don't record to a central box as a bonus no more hard drive failures!"

"i have had cctv systems before that were far more expensive and was a little dubious about a camera at such a cheap price and thought that the quality would not be that good"

"i have had a few videos which were unable to upload"

"and when it works it randomly goes into buffering every so often"

"have tried adjusting the sensitivity but can't get it to work properly but for a camera of this price i can't complain too much"

"as i had already purchased a netvue wi fi doorbell and been very pleased with it buying the netvue vigil camera s was an obvious next step as they offer sd card recording and playback capability without needing to purchase cloud based storage it’s just a case of mounting the units out of easy reach"

"the following reasons why i could not give it 5 stars: the speaker on the camera is very low level and even though it is installed just above head height you cannot be heard very clearly"

"bought this camera as i have a bad neighbour next to me who keeps damaging my property"

"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"

"one subscription should cover more cameras not just one otherwise it gets too expensive"

"at night the problem was the opposite initially there was no motion detection as soon as it was dark although after a couple of weeks of emails back and forth to support they sent through new firmware which resolved this problem"

"which it really shouldn't be to be honest if i could be bothered to take the camera down and send it back i would but i really cant as it was a bit of a task getting it up"

"one thing i would like to say is that it would be nice to have a sealing plug if you are not going to hard wire the broadband side and just use the wifi as it leaves a tiny hole in the cable enterance"

"cover the camera in lens in something i taped a sock around it disconnect the end with the three mounting holes using the hex key provided hold the mount against the wall and drill three smaller holes with a 4mm drill bit take the mount away and open the holes up to fit the rawlplugs"

"you could fit a connection box outside instead of running cable through the wall"

"motion sensor is temperamental wont record our car parking pretty large subject image but will record endless hours of rain"

"the second and more bothersome is that when i tried to access the sd files in my computer i figured that the video files are in a proprietary format!"

"if you need a cost effective way to monitor your home minimal affect on the wifi check from anywhere and has a speaker for interactions with home for example asking someone to leave a parcel somewhere safe "

"installation is not straightforward because you will need a very large hole in wall to pass cable assembly through"

"my only quibble is that the aerial joint is not sufficiently stiff and the aerial flops around rather than standing upright"

"two minor issues though"

"i’ve recently bought several of these netvue 1080p outdoor security cameras as my existing ones from another maker were very unreliable and constantly dropped their wi fi connections"

"one slight negative is that the mounting screws provided were of a very poor quality"

"as soon as is possible this useless ornament will be taken down and replaced with something that actually works!"

"i got the outdoor camera because a number of dogs have gone missing out of peoples gardens and as my house has a dirt road at the side i’m always nervous that one of my fur babies might get stolen"

"already used footage for an incident i did have a problem where just after the time the firmware updates the camera failed i opened a chat at 8am and gave the problem to customer services who passed to technical services who by 9"

"i tried live chat and didn't get anywhere"

"have attached photo in this review"

"night vision is as about as good as ir can get and at this price point it's extremely hard to beat"

"you have to download a small player they made i found in netvue forum and it's awful!"

"killed by the update "

"i'm using a 128gb micro sd card playback is of a high quality and unbroken"

"i’m not using cloud but i am using the sd card the card formats while installed and for a couple of days i’m able to use the camera fine and watch back recordings but then i’m not able to view recordings unless i join cloud for a fee of course"

"for the price paid the camera is excellent i did look around and all the other camera's where more expensive so far i am very pleased the camera picture day or night is excellent and the piece of mind i get from seeing what is going on around my property is great i do live in a very remote area and therefore no traffic passes my house just the occasional rambler"

"cover the camera in lens in something i taped a sock around it disconnect the end with the three mounting holes using the hex key provided hold the mount against the wall and drill three smaller holes with a 4mm drill bit take the mount away and open the holes up to fit the rawlplugs"

"only issue advice is so mount it too high as the spiders are always making webs on the camera and this also can trigger off motion alerts if u have this set up"

"only issue advice is so mount it too high as the spiders are always making webs on the camera and this also can trigger off motion alerts if u have this set up"

"it does work without the cloud subscription but motion detection is rubbish all the time"

"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"

"my only quibble is that the aerial joint is not sufficiently stiff and the aerial flops around rather than standing upright"

"the unit showed a solid green light so apparently all connected but the app said the camera is offline"

"but it is not designed to be a high end 8 mega pixel camera with all the transmission and storage issues that you would come up against"

"but the delay is so long"

"cannot fault this bullet cam"

"after a stream of emails to support i am now returning my dead original unit"

"for the price of this camera i would not hesitate to recommend it"

"i guess most of the time the video comes up but sometimes it times out trying to connect"

"i have had cctv systems before that were far more expensive and was a little dubious about a camera at such a cheap price and thought that the quality would not be that good"

"this really is just a case of trial and error and the app offers sensitivity adjustments so you can have it exactly as you want it"

"however there is no way to stop recording except by pulling out the power plug which seems a bit brutal the app should provide for this to prevent file corruption i did try disconnecting power the sd card seemed ok and successfully re mounted on restoring power"

"my only quibble it that the camera is not poe"

"are equally good in many ways but don't record continously"

"also to subscribe to the motion data as the camera doesn't always get a photo of the trigger but will record it!"

"unfortunately even after 2 months i didn't receive the free 64gb sd card as mentioned in the package i received after claiming even no reply to my 2 emails"

"i have unfortunately ended up with a lan connection to my router but as i said earlier this may be my internet supplier issues"

"a real shame because when they first worked they were brilliant but they’ve clearly done something to the firmware that doesn’t play nice now"

"however there is no way to stop recording except by pulling out the power plug which seems a bit brutal the app should provide for this to prevent file corruption i did try disconnecting power the sd card seemed ok and successfully re mounted on restoring power"

"months on still regular problems when it should just work it's unreliable bottom line in a product where reliability is critical we had an issue with car break inns and low and behold despite paying for the 24 7 service"

"one criticism would be the leads should be detachable to get through smaller holes"

"4ghz not 5ghz"

"well i've now set it up outside and had tried it on wi fi and on internet cable also as i have a fire stick and alex's i did link it to there account on a good note it works well with the app on a good but bad point as i did not adjust my settings but turned on motion detection it was cool for the first"

"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"

"every day i contact nevue to be told that their “engineers are working on a fix” but that’s been four days now with no progress so i’m sending these back for a refund"

"an sd card not included is required to store images video including motion detection although a paid cloud service is available"

"the motion detection issue is now with their research team and i am confident that they will come up with a solution to the sensitivity issue very quickly"

"but i went to my hubs user login on internet explorer and turned the 5g off so it could connect to the 2"

"had to go through the process twice but it didn’t take long"

"to get footage you need to get a ladder and climb the ladder to the camera unscrew it all to get to the memory card take the memory out put it into your pc get the footage you need then go back up the ladder put the memory card back in screw all the camera back together and as your doing all this your"

"however there is no way to stop recording except by pulling out the power plug which seems a bit brutal the app should provide for this to prevent file corruption i did try disconnecting power the sd card seemed ok and successfully re mounted on restoring power"

"can't really go wrong for the price"

"i recently brought the homecam indoor secuirty cam from the same seller last month and had a few problems with it and these got resolved really well and rapidly because of this i decided to buy a new camera for the outside secuirty of my house"

"my only real criticism is that i would like more control over scheduling the motion detection and they do not work with iftt"

"i was looking for a easy install camera for a while now that would not brake the bank and then my friend showed me the netvue he has i was shocked when he told me how much he payed and all the features the camera qualty is amzing with the movement notafication sent to your phone so you know where ever"

"compact camera but as this model has an ethernet plug on it you have to drill at least a 12mm hole to get the cable through the wall lots of teething problems but the online chat is instant and they always seem to fix the issues but i'd rather it just ran seamlessly than have any pro lems like dropped signal etc or a tf card that has worked perfectly well in the camera for 2 weeks suddenly is no longer recognised"

"you can view the cameras live without signing up to any storage or buying an sd card from the app but you wont be able to record the footage so bare this in mind"

"i wanted this to monitor our back garden as we've had some items "removed" recently and i am delighted with how easy it was to setup and use"

"if the 12v power cord is cut then that's the end of your camera security as there is no battery back up"

"when linking accounts to amazon it would return a load of code and would not link"

"having being a victim of crime and searching the internet for a good but reasonably priced outdoor camera i can honesty say i am pleased with this product"

"bought this camera as i have a bad neighbour next to me who keeps damaging my property"

"so we had a spate of tyre damages to cars outside the house so decided to get a good quality night vision camera to use as a deterrent to further problems"

"what i did not like about it was the setup"

"but now the camera is pointless constantly showing off line constantly needing to format the sd card do not buy this camera!"

"so long as your cameras will be close to your router then it should be fine"

"i had some doing work in my garage while i was away in another country and i was able to view and speak clearly with the"

"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"

"no instructions with the camera at all but good website and it appears they have good customer service but i haven't needed it yet!"

"the only slight frustration is that there is large bunch of cables out of the camera body which are redundant if you are using as a wireless device"

"i was sceptical of the signal and thought i'd have issues with the wifi signal dropping out"

"no matter which ever way i tried it would just not stay connected"

"what i did find good that the camera came with all screws wall plugs a masonry drill bit and a hex key to adjust the direction of the camera"

"however there is no way to stop recording except by pulling out the power plug which seems a bit brutal the app should provide for this to prevent file corruption i did try disconnecting power the sd card seemed ok and successfully re mounted on restoring power"

"only hicup is with the alexa app i could not get it to add the skill but when i logged in via netvue on the computer and logged in via a password password reset and not facebook it logged it in and now all working"

"has motion sensor in the app to alert you of movement and captures a screenshot each time in the app no subscripton charge required for this "

"live view works fine which makes it even more disappointing"

"i thought the picture quality would be rubbish but it's really not"

"not sure on cloud and motion upgrade costs as seems a bit excessive but haven’t looked in to this yet"

"you can however scroll back in time and record for whatever period you want as long as you do it before it is overwritten"

"i'm not using motion detection yet because i wanted this primarily to be able to see who is at the front door so i cannot comment on that"

"whatever had blocked the camera reporting in was fixed by the reboot and the camera went live it was also a lot more responsive through the app so my router was the problem here"

"cloud service don’t work as described gives me 100+ notifications that my cat is running around but can’t detect no humans see pictures no marker for humans"

"get in seconds a warning on my iphone and can see what is happening"

"good product and no need for expensive subscriptions either :"

"so this feature got turned off which is one of the reasons i wanted the camera it would notify that there was motion at my door i would ask alexa to show me the front door cam to see who it was then answer the door the whole process was to hit and miss and just takes too long by the time the video comes up the person would have left thinking there is nobody at home"

"only hicup is with the alexa app i could not get it to add the skill but when i logged in via netvue on the computer and logged in via a password password reset and not facebook it logged it in and now all working"

"i don't need the ethernet option but would be useful to those with weak wifi signal great addition!"

"without the costly addons the camera is rubbish in my opinion"

"u still get motion alerts while not subscribing"

"you can zoom into the image on te phone app but the resolution falls off pretty fast as this is only 1080"

"not good not good at all"

"first problem: it seems that each video file is 10 minutes long but there are some space between them some seconds that don't get recorded at all"

"i was delighted after i replaced a defective similar unit from another brand because this device behaved exactly as advertised"

"using the app each stage of the set up is clearly explained and supported by a short demonstration video"

"my only issue is the three cables hanging out of the back of it makes it a little more difficult to install"

"you tighten up some grub screws after adjustment which holds the camera rock solid so there are no false motion detections due to camera wobble "

"i really wanted it to film across my whole driveway but that's more down to me putting the camera in the wrong place"

"connecting to router bt hub was a little frustrating but i expected that as bt is dual banded"

"it has been having trouble loading the live feed but i sure it is a blip and am going to contact customer support if the problem persists"

"pretty easy to set up and worked well for a couple of weeks and then following a firmware update the cameras have been completely useless"

"i made the mistake of cutting the network plug off to help feed the wire through thinking i wouldn't need it as i was using wireless"

"have tried contacting their customer service but received no reply so will try and get a refund somehow"

"actual time attaching camera and cables was minutes only"

"easily hear the birds from back of the house"

"as to the camera once initial issues sorted probably due wifi dropping off without me knowing it is excellent"

"bit of a con showing the camera fitted flush against the wall with no wires showing"

"so therefore i returned it"

"i don't often write reviews but i am quite impressed with this camera"

"i got this one for my back way as there have been some crimes in some other back ways so just like the fact its keeping a eye on my home while i go to work pros easy to set up and helpful app cons just can cut out some times for no reson and picture can be a bit hard to see sometimes but that could be times of the day would get other one for my front way aswell"

"i did have one fail on me recently after 6 months"

"cons: large holes required for installation"

"4ghz wireless not a 5"

"support says that 128gb cards no longer work"

"it is the ethernet socket that determins the size!"

"quite why they didn't do this in the first place i will never know"

"showing 97% signal in the app with no buffering"

"despite what anyone says it will not necessarily be easy to fit"

"4ghz if you don't do this it may be difficult to connect you can switch 5ghz back on after its connected"

"picked up car headlights even though in “blocked” area"

"i've been searching a long time for home security camera's with two way audio to replace my outside ip camera's that don't have audio"

"but cloud storage solves this issue"

"our postman had a right scare when we suddenly spoke out from it"

"at night in ir in rainy day is prone to false positives detects rain drops or snow flakes practically useless so i switched off infra red and rely on pir lamp to detect motion outdoor"

"without the costly addons the camera is rubbish in my opinion"

"you can view anywhere not just when you are on the same local network"

"lots of choices in settings i haven't explored yet"

"this bullet style camera is approx £75 cheaper than my hikvision!"

"please don’t change "

"set up on these cameras couldn't be easier"

"however using the camera to monitor outside motion is hit and miss and certainly not effective with the infra red camera as the light reflects off the windows at night"

"it is beyond frustrating especially when something has been stolen off your driveway which has happened this morning only to find nothing was recorded!"

"even a drill bit for drilling the holes for mounting the camera"

"another desireable feature of the netvue software is that it allows ‘sharing’ this enables me to share all the camera features with my wife and as such she also can manage the settings and receive notifications from the motion alarm"

"i’d like to connect this to my own nas drive or eyespy software but ip address access is not allowed"

"4ghz was better did have trouble connecting to a wifi extender did away with that so eliminated the problem"

"the camera connection has 3 quite bulky wires which would need a really big hole to bring inside"

"this means you only have to drill a small hole through the wall for the power cable and into the back of the junction box"

"at first these seem great but as time wears on they become more and more unreliable"

"i thought the microphone and speaker were going to be a waste of time but i can clearly hear anyone talking at my front door"

"as it wasn't connecting for me they sent a solution to get an update through but still wasn't working"
