Top critical review
3.0 out of 5 starsHorrible on data (draining my wifi data) but great video, lots of features
Reviewed in Canada on May 22, 2024
Ok so we’ve had two of these set up for about a week. Really impressed with video quality (we have it on 2k mode). Night vision is solid. Audio is pretty good too. It has a lot of features for the price and other reviews say it survived Canadian winters, so we took a shot. However, we have it set to only record events rather than recording 24/7, and it has used literally 400gb of data in such a short time!!! We did have it on auto cruise hourly but omg that’s like such a short clip once per hour. We also have tracking on so it is capturing when household members walk outside but there’s just two of us here so I don’t think it captured very many events. I’m now turning them off completely during the day and will just have them on at night… I’m very concerned that having them on in general may be using data and auto cruise hourly may also be a problem. Part of the reason we bought them is to monitor our cottage during off seasons and when we’re away… I’m not sure we’re going to be able to use them for this purpose because the data usage is brutal. Maybe we can take it off 2k mode (though we need to test that to ensure video quality is clear enough to make our facial features), and maybe we can sacrifice the auto cruise hourly. But it would need to be left on all day and night and track movement, otherwise it’s useless.
