I love it!!!!
I love it!!!! I put the camera on our garage door window, using the blue wide masking tape, a extension cord and some hooks that the camera stays on the window and the cord won't touch on anything when garage door opens. It works out great looking over our driveway. I wish I could angle down a little bit, but I still like the fact that the camera is securely installed inside of the window, I don't need to worry about the battery, and on the top of it, there is no monthly fees (WooHooooo!!!)!!Like many reviewers say, the app could have some improvements probably because I'm used to Ring app. (I have a Ring Doorbell Pro.) I wish I could delete the video clips in the "recording list" by swiping it out (or check multiple photos to delete them all at once). Setting up the camera in the app is a bit confusing. First, you need to turn on your location on your device. Then I suggest you to be near router when you connect your camera to your wifi, then the camera to your device following the in-app step-by-step installation guide. After you finished setting up the connections, then you can simply unplug the camera and take it to wherever you want to install it. Once wifi is all connected, you can easily plug/unplug the camera from the power outlet and no need to set up the wifi again and again like Ring Doorbell cameras which is very frustrating.(UPDATES: I found a quick delete selection in the app! "Show All">"Select". And I started to like this app as I'm getting used to it! I lower the sensitivity on my motion detection, but there are still a lot of videos recorded. What I like about this app is that I can chose "Person Only" recordings to review the recordings. That way, I don't have to waste my time looking for the ones that shows some human activities in my property. Another option that I like is that I can easily protect some of the video clips with one click. I used to use Ring app. That's why it took for me to get used to the Homwhawk app. But now I actually like this app better than Ting app. It's well coordinated once you get used to it. )It takes some delay to watch the live view, but I personally think it's slightly faster than Ring. (It depends on my wifi strength too.) But it doesn't really matter to me since I don't have to "answer" to the camera activities. If there is any action going on, then the camera is already recording the activities anyway. So I won't worry about the little delay so much.My garage windows are all tinted dark. But the picture quality is excellent even at night! We have a street light 2 houses away across the street which seems to give enough lighting for our camera to be able to pick up the images in color! (I don't even have the highest quality setting.) I also lower the motion sensitivity but it catches all of the activities in the area I chose.There is no microphone on this camera. So the noises won't trigger the recordings. Your privacy inside of your house is protected.I purchased 128GB of micro SD card for the camera as Amazon suggested, and it's working just fine although I later noticed that the camera is supposed to take up to 64GB of micro SD card as some reviewers stated.I can choose if I want to turn the LED light (which is located on back of the camera) on/off in the app, and there is no light shown in front of it.My daughter also downloaded the app to check her car on the driveway. It seems like up to 4 devices can be connected to this camera at once.Overall, I'm so happy with the purchase! I don't have to worry about my neighbor getting on to our camera when I'm setting it up as they have no idea when we are setting it up. (My neighbor who also has the Ring doorbell has sneakily gotten on to our camera once (this really happened) when I had hard time setting up our Ring Doorbell Pro for the first time. Now I know why I had a hard time connecting it because they were stealing our Ring signal before we were trying to connect with it. Creep!) Even we get power outage, this camera would just reconnect the wifi itself when the power is back. You can relocate this camera anywhere you want in your house. You don't need to recharge the battery. It's Panasonic. They are good and I trust many of their products!Lastly, I'd like to request to Panasonic to make more products like the doorbell cameras, the outdoor motion detection driveway/front porch alarms (with no camera--to be less expensive), and less expensive window cameras, outdoor gate camera (like a peeping hole camera with weather proof) which all come with wired or wireless. I would definitely buy more Panasonic products to protect all around my property!Anyways, I'm really happy with the purchase, and HIGHLY recommend it. It's impressive!!

This is a great product to have especially if you live in an apartment
From the outside, nobody will be able to even see your camera. If you get a 512 memory card. This product will keep on rewriting over your old videos. You’re able to see through day and night. The set up is extremely easy. The product Goes on the window. If you live in a condo or an apartment, you could have a camera on the window and nobody will know about it. And you will not be breaking the lease or the law. I highly recommend this product, especially if you have a window that is facing your vehicle. This way if you go out in the morning and you see that your vehicle has been damaged either through vandalism or an accident. You can go back to your camera and review the exact time and day. Download that to the police station. Then go over and file a report where they will have your videos that are time stamped with the date the time and probably the license number of the vehicle that did the damage. This could be day or night excellent night resolution. For the price I don’t think it could be beaten. With many cameras if you put it up against the window, you will get the glare shining back at the camera. Therefore, you will not be able to see outside. With this camera, you are able to see outside even if you have a screen down. It is easy to take off of the window and put it on any other window that you might have interest in viewing. Altogether this is an excellent bye, and I highly recommend it. It comes with its own app. That would be used on your phone. So you would always have access to your vehicle or your backyard or whatever you would be looking at. Be careful that make sure that you’re in a one party consent state. That means that you don’t need both parties to consent to being recorded. In the two party consent if you don’t have the other parties consent, you could wind up in jail with a felony. Is only a few states that do this. So I would purchase with confidence. Arrived undamaged, and on time.

Excellent Window Camera – Easy Setup, Great Quality
Just got the item and I’m genuinely impressed. Setup was incredibly simple – it took just a few minutes to get everything up and running. No complicated instructions, no fuss. The color night vision and glare-free footage through the window are standout features... except when the sun beams are directly at the camera.That said, the app needs work. The interface is not user friendly and remote access can be unreliable at times. Motion detection could also be smarter—it sometimes alerts for passing cars instead of people.Would love to see updates with better app design, AI-powered detection, and easier video exports. Still, it’s a solid home security option if you’re looking for a window-mounted camera.
