"if you wish to record secret photos or video this is a good device but the necessary small size of the camera aperture will limit quality"

"i had a small issue with mine but it was resolved very quickly by the seller"

"i have to admit getting the pen to record is a little fiddly and do take some time to get the sequence correct so if you really need to use this at an important meeting etc"

"pen not too bad image and sound seem good but you can easily catch the button and stop recordig by mistake"

"very badly designed"

"however you cannot use the generous 32gb micro sd card in a sd adapter as it doesn’t work you have to use a usb adapter i’ve no idea why"

"pen not too bad image and sound seem good but you can easily catch the button and stop recordig by mistake"

"i have had a couple pens in the past but they were cheap plastic and broken"

"i’ve prized the clasp up slightly and put a drop of superglue to secure it"

"i tired again and still nothing"

"you find yourself fumbling around not really knowing if you have taken a still photo or what"

"there are too many problems with it to recommend it: the controls are fiddly"

"i think this might be due to low battery but it's not clear"

"i wanted this for recording my commute after getting into an altercation at a tube station one evening"

"it has too many issues"

"it doesn't automatically overwrite the oldest video if the flash card is full"

"i didn't record this pen can record while you pressing it"

"although i haven't yet been able to find out what size model they are yet the great thing is that the battery can be easily replaced if when it dies"

"however i would have these 2 criticisms: with motion detection the red light starts flashing when movement is detected"

"what a waste of money"

"not a straightforward tool"

"this was exactly what i needed"

"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 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"

"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"

"using ethernet wired connection was not a major issue"

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

"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"

"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"

"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"

"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!"

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

"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"

"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 "

"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!"

"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"

"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"

"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"

"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 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"

"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"

"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"

"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"

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

"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"

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

"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"

"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"

"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"

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

"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"
