It's good, very good. Easy to install and setup. No cables and wires. I've put a 8gb memory stick in mine and can reject it and watch videos on the main PC. Very concerned about the time-lapse though. Was expecting a package from Amazon on Tuesday 27 October 2020, heard a van door go and it was within my delivery slots. Switched the camera on and observed the man getting out his van. Suddenly there was a knock on the door? I was still watching him walk to my front door time-lapse was more than 10 seconds. A notification then was made on my iPhone?
Amazon really need to get this sorted, not good enough. In this day and age it renders the 'talk to' useless? By time, you've connected to the phone and got the camera on (15 seconds after the event) they've gone... so what's the point??
I've marked it down to 3 stars because of this. My rear garden camera has a time lapse of around a second which beats this hands down.
If Amazon can get the time delay sorted it will be a fantastic bit of kit but at the moment perhaps other cameras would be better?
UPDATE: 8th December 2020. I obtained another camera about 2 weeks ago and placed this at the rear of the house. Having 2 cameras improved performance greatly. A quick change in settings to activating 'early' motion and time was down to almost 6 seconds from notification to seeing who was at the door.
Really pleased now, an extra camera does help! Thoroughly recommend this product and get 2 cameras if you can!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Time lapse and notifications awful - but wait!
