First off, WOW! This is going to sound like a shill review, but I assure you: I am a real person with no ties whatsoever to this company. I am a composer for film and TV shows with a home studio that is…well, it’s expensive. While everything is insured and I keep redundant offsite backups of my files, it would still spell potential disaster for my career if my gear was stolen; when you’re working with 12 hour deadlines for international clients you don’t really get to say, “er, my studio was stolen and it’ll be two weeks before I can replace it,” because that’s when they say, “cool, well we’re going to find another composer.” To replace and rebuild a studio takes a lot of time.
Because of this, I get extremely paranoid every time I go out of town. I just went on my honeymoon last week and purchased this camera to try to provide a bit of piece of mind, and it did that and more. Read on.
This camera does one thing, and it does it efficiently and in a way that I can’t conceive of being more user friendly than it is: it monitors your home and alerts you to any and all kinds of activity that involve changes in the space-time continuum. Considering that thieves and fires both exist within space-time, this camera has you covered.
Not only does it alert you to any potential baddies looking to sack your castle, but it captures more than enough visual evidence to get a conviction. When it detects any motion, it immediately starts recording in crisp 1080p quality, and it doesn’t need a whole lot of light to capture clear images.
Quick rabbit trail: I see people complaining that it “only” records 6 seconds of video (which does include audio). Boo hoo. This is not a surveillance camera; it is a monitoring system, and it’s a damn good one.
Traditional home security systems can be problematic; for every 100 false alarms there might be one legitimate alert, but by then your local PD probably won’t take it too seriously. It’s also an issue when you have guests, and constantly needing to remember to punch in codes and the like just isn’t my style. Having your dog shot or your door broken down by the police because a mouse tripped a motion sensor while you were vacationing in Bermuda is no bueno. This puts your home security in YOUR hands.
So let’s cover some important details:
-Just to recap, this camera sends an alert to your device (it’s compatible with all major mobile device iOS’s) and records 6 seconds of beautiful, high quality video and audio when it detects any motion. You can choose to discard or save the video. Choosing the latter option saves it to the drive on your mobile device.
-You can at your leisure “check” your camera, which allows you to monitor your home in real time. It doesn’t record anything when you do this; it is simply live streaming what is happening in your home at that moment.
-It must be plugged in at all times, which is actually preferable; batteries introduce one more point of potential failure in a device that, above all else, needs to be reliable.
-It must have access to wifi at all times (kind of a no brainer, but I figured I should mention it).
-IMPORTANT (and very cool): multiple people can log into your account at the same time. This means that if you’re going on vacay somewhere where cell reception might be spotty, you can get two or three of your closest mates to download the app, give them your login info, and ask them to enable alerts from the app. They would then be alerted just as you are when any activity is detected and will have access to the video.
So yeah, in my not so humble opinion this camera is a huge win for anyone looking to work on their home security game. Buy it with confidence. It is an unusually fantastic product.

Cons: one of my cameras was not showing great color…it had a pink hue to them…I wrote into support and got some automated messages, but never heard back any answers to my questions.
Another one is having issues connecting, despite turning off and on and hard resetting. And another one has some dead pixels which kind of bother me.
Also the desktop app…..the feeds time out after 30-60 min and it keeps making me refresh the thing. I dont like that considering what these are… a live feed of cameras for security purposes….that really should just sit running 24/7 kind of thing …I keep leaving feedback on their app, who knows where it goes though.
oh I was going to say that I use my power that my house had setup for the Christmas lights…that is how I power the two cameras by the door.
So I am actually returning the 3 cameras that had the issues and Amazon gives me 14 days to send them back meanwhile the new ones should be here by tomorrow or so….so a pretty painless return process…although all returns are kind of annoying.
I have 9 right now …. but I am already scheming where I could use more coverage. Point one at the Backyard? The chicken coop? The hallway?
So I do love them….also like the ability to turn off the status light so they don’t draw as much attention. So despite some of the issues mentioned, I’m happy with what I got, going to replace these 3 and possibly add more to the fleet down the road. If you found this helpful, drop me a like!
Go ahead and buy them already! You wont regret it…..and just get the SD cards now too while you are at it!
