heimvision 1080p Wireless IP Camera, Wireless Security Camera with Smart Night Vision/ PTZ/ Two-Way Audio, 2.4Ghz WiFi Home Surveillance Camera for Baby/ Pet Monitor

I have bought it for a completely different reason. I wanted to use it above the door in the porch to see who is coming to my door. When I opened the box, and started to assemble it, the plan changed. My kids loved it, named it BB8 after the StarWars Robot, and since than it is their favourite toy in the whole wild world. Lives on the TV stand, and keeps a very protective eye on the living room. Because the kids can move its head via the mobile app, they are scaring the family cat to death with it.On the slightly more serious note, the thing is very simple to use. Scan the barcode from the box which opens the App for you. Download it, set up your account quickly, add the camera, tell it your wifi and boom. You are sorted. I did it in a few minutes without even opening the manual, that’s how easy and self explanatory it is. It has a micro SD slot, so you can record everything there if you don’t want to use their cloud (which I prefer). You can have an alarm if something happens in front of the camera. It also can follow automatically the object moving in front of it (burglar, cat) Because it lives next to the TV, I can check who is watching the tv, from my office. The other amazing feature is that I can also hear whats going on and with the App I can talk back to them. So I can easily monitor my family at home from my office, follow them, and talk to them. My kids love all these features, my missus less enthusiastic about it.

Okay, you're not going to get anything spectacular for the money, but this camera is pretty decent for the price.Picture quality during the day is reasonable, night vision is reasonable, sound quality is just okay. It's a little noisy when rotating the device and that noise is picked up in the internal microphone and sent through the app, though you can turn the microphone off if it is a problem. The app to connect to the camera is okay, it is simple to setup and works fine, although you are required to setup an online cloud account to use it. I've awarded this camera 4 stars, not because it's brilliant, but because it's good for the small price. Quality costs, and this is almost a bargain.

Unfortunately, despite an answered question from the seller saying that this device would record to an SD card without WiFi, it doesn't. I found a troubleshooting guide online which said that when WiFi signal is poor, the card cannot be detected - whether this just means by the app, or by the device itself, I'm not sure. It actually seems to be a great little camera, it records while connected to Wifi and can be viewed live on the app. When the WiFi is turned off, however, the recording stops (tested in my house) Sadly, it was bought to go in a premises without WiFi and is therefore not fit for the intended purpose and is being returned.

Love my new gadget! Really nice design, small and compact, yet does the job it’s designed to do. Set up was a breeze, scanned the QR code from the box to download the app and followed the instructions in the booklet and the camera was working in less than 5 minutes. Make sure your WiFi is set to 2.4ghz, it won’t connect to 5ghz, same as most smart devices. The camera followed me as I walked around the room, picture was very clear on my phone, unfortunately the photo doesn’t do it justice as I was trying to avoid being in the picture! I unplugged the camera and got a message telling me it was offline, very handy alert! Excellent security camera, so many uses from keeping an eye on your property to monitoring the baby.

What can I say......Had to set up a account first which seems ridiculus. The manual contradicts the app to start with. Tried adding a the device, did the test of the network bit in the app - all looked good. Did the reset thing (10 times) - tried entering my wi-fi details and password (which is a substantial task) (10 times) - showed it the QR code (10 times) - It did the beep (10 times) to register the device - then waited forever for it to tell me that the wi-fi wasn't connected. It was then I decided to send it back.

This CCTV camera works perfectly and I'm also impressed by the live streaming which you can access via the app on your phone. You can control the movement of the camera remotely to give you a 360° view. For the price of this device and it's capabilities, this must be a bargain compared to other more expensive wireless cameras which basically do the same thing.

Bought Security Cam for first time. The delivery was very fast, I use again for first time Amazon Locker, was quick, easy and helpful. The Security Cam is cute and little it`s look very nice it`s perfect for my room. Was extremely easy to install and use. Have night vision who is perfect to be honest I don`t expected, but now I`m very glad I buy this camera. I use to watch outside in my garden and the pictures and video are perfect.

Well i puchased the item and then when i started setting it up i realized that it onley works with a 2.4 ghz router, mines a 5 ghz as i presume most people's are! Why do they sell it stil as i shuld imagine that most people have a 5 ghz router nowdays, the only people who would have a 2.4ghz router are old grannys who still have regular broadband. why do they still sell it. it's not really that obvous when you buy it eather.. so i've had too send it back...sorry to be so negative but i was really anoyed..Yours Eric ..
