As a stay-at-home dad, I got this to keep an eye on the house, especially with my fitness routine keeping me busy. I've been using it for a couple of months now, and overall, it does the job. The video quality is sharp, even at night, which is great for checking on things. I appreciate how it integrates with my other gadgets, making it simple to use. But the false alerts can be a hassle, and I wish the basic features included more without extra costs. From what I feel, it's reliable but could be better in some areas. :)
- Pros: Setting it up was very easy, just what I needed without any wires, and I can place it anywhere. The picture is very clear, and I like that it works with my smart home devices. The light and alarm are useful for scaring off intruders, and it handles rain well from what I feel.
- Cons: The alerts can be too sensitive sometimes, picking up small movements like leaves, which is annoying. The trial for extra features ended, and now I have to pay more for things like saving videos, which I don't like. It feels a bit pricey for what it offers after the trial.
