Reviewed in Canada on September 24, 2023
I've had this security camera for two weeks and I gotta say, I am impressed. I did lots of research and tried out different cameras. Surprisingly this one performed well and beyond my expectations.
What's working well:
1) Motion Detection:
I got this camera to use on my front door since I didn't want to replace my non-camera doorbell which I invested in a couple years ago. This camera does a great job alerting me about anyone coming to my door.
2) Wireless and Battery:
Because of my setup I prefer wireless so I didn't have to do any wiring, it's glorious. I was worried about how often I'd need to charge the battery - so far it's doing well and even with the heavy daily use as well as all the test I ran when I first go it, it's still 87% which is on pace to last me 3 and a half months.
3) Internet Connections:
The biggest advantage over almost every other camera I tested lagged and lost connections. The signal strength with this camera is generally pretty good with no drop off at about 20 ft from my router. The live view feed always loads and never loses connection which wasn’t the case for all other cameras. As such, the image quality is great, at this price point I don't expect any better.
4) App Experience:
I like the app, much better than others I tried. It's always responsive and very intuitive, it does all the basics.
What could be better:
1) Motion Detection:
The alerts sometimes come a few seconds later than I'd like but it’s okay because I get consistently notified before the person reaches the door. For example, I don’t see the delivery man as they arrive. Usually it records the moment they’re dropping the package and standing in front of the door to take their proof picture.
I've received a couple false alerts especially when the bushes are moving on windy days. It’s a bit disappointing to see that they want users to pay extra for the AI which could help with false alerts.
2) App Experience:
No major complaints here other than wanting more features. I'd like to see an option to turn off or sleep the camera from the App. I'd also like voice change, and maybe the most important of all is having the ability to login into my account on multiple devices simultaneously. It automatically log me off from my phone when I try to login anywhere else, that’s a bummer.
Overall, I am happy with my purchase and I’d recommend this camera for anyone who wants a reliable small camera on a budget.
