DEATTI Smart Pet Camera Baby/Elder/Dog/Cat/Nanny Indoor WiFi Security Camera 1080P for Home Surveillance with Two-Way Audio,Night Vision,Motion Detection,Phone App Control

So far I have found many of these cameras are pretty decent when it comes to picture quality. The big difference was the ability to connect to the app and stay connected! Since I already had a camera that uses the same IPC-360 app it took less than a minute to set up. This was by far the most inexpensive of my 3 cameras and one of them doesn't even have the pan and tilt feature. My only complaint, if any, is that I can't view both cameras simultaneously on a split screen. For the price you absolutely cannot go wrong! I paid at least $10 more for an equivalent quality camera not long ago. One of my pets has a health issue and I use it to monitor him when I am away from home or in another room and the night vision is excellent. Trust me, you will not be disappointed with this camera. This was money well spent.

I got two of these cameras to keep an eye on my pets while I was at work. I did some research on Amazon and found that most of the pet cams were extremely expensive. When I saw this, I decided to get a camera to test it out and see how it worked. I loved it so much, I bought another! Setup was super easy!The picture quality is pretty great, and I love how I can move the camera around to see all the angles of my rooms. The feature I love the most is the ability to be able to talk to my pets through the microphone. I'm a big fan of this camera!

I bought one, liked it and so far now have bought a total of 6 of these. I'm currently using 4 of them.The first one to set it up was a bit hard as for me the set up wasn't that user friendly. After the first one now that I understand the new 3 setups have been easy.I'm using them with 2 different house with no complications.I've dropped two of the units about 3-4 feet onto wood floors and both cameras still work fine.One of the 120v to USB power units I received was defective. Since I had a few similar used power units hanging around I just used one of mine (I didn't try to contact the company) and the camera worked fine when plugged into it.No monthly charges however every so often when I logon I do get a heads-up for singing up for "free 7 day cloud trial" which with that and the 1 defective power unit makes me go from giving a 5 star down to 4 stars.

Returning. It was a hassle to try to get connected to the WiFi. I had to change my WiFi password to not include any symbols or it would not work. I also had to enable a "guest WiFi" to connect it to that because it would not work on my regular WiFi. The app/connection did not work when my phone was connected to another WiFi. It would only work if I disconnected from whatever WiFi I was on and used my phone's data. Even then, it was often very slow at times. It was not always in real time either (it showed like it was dark outside and a night vision view even when I was looking during the middle of the day).The camera itself seems to be good. The picture was clear and it rotates well, giving a wide vantage point of what you can see. The audio worked well too. My dog could hear my voice through it and came running over when I called her. But with all the connection issues and the poor quality of the app, this camera is not worth it.

More info:- Yes, it always records and will eventually fill up your microSD card(or probably fill your cloud limit).- You have to make sure the time zone is set correctly. They have to match on the camera live view screen. I.e. the live video time has to match the time above the "scroll" video bar/timeline.- Once the memory "full", the camera (won't do alerts - this is not true; it's just finicky about when it triggers alerts I figured out later) but it's still always recording(probably discarding the oldest video). It takes about 2 days to fill 8GB card (actually 6GB as part is reserved for audio).- The alerts aren't perfect. I settled on the recommended sensitivity of 3. It doesn't always catch motion but this setting produces less false positives. It still triggers on bright sunlight changes as the sun fades in/out though.--------------------I updated the app and it now records alerts to my microSD card. It seems to be recording everything now and in 8 hours has used about 3GB. I will left it fill up and see what happens. That said, the app is very very flakey. It bombs out and disappears a lot when clicking on the camera/alert live video. From that screen you hit the camera or motion camera, icon to record/save an alert, picture or video, respectively. Alerts don't usually show up in the alert tab right away as the camera says offline though it shows online on the main camera page. I upgraded to 3 stars. My guess is the app is the weak link. I wonder if there's a better one out there that will work?----------------This camera seems to do everything it says except the most important to me feature. That is record an alert video to a microSD card. I putzed around for a good 20 hours. I tried many microSD cards. I received no email reply from [email protected] or to my two questions I posted. Amazon even sent me another camera and it does the same exact thing. I have an android Samsung s9+ with the IPC360 app. I have formated the microSD cards on my laptop to 32 and 64 KB FAT formats; before or after formatting them with the app, the alert video still doesn't show up. The 2GB microSD cards never show any storage space available. yet it knows a card is installed. The 8 & 16GB cards show the appropriate storage. Only with one of the 2GB cards that show no storage did I ever get alert messages in the alert tab but they all said no video available. I tried turning off the WIFI on my phone in case it only records alert video's when your in theory not there. Nothing works on either camera. The time zone is set correctly though one is in 24 hour format and the one on the live feed is 12 hour. I never get any blue bar or video. No alert video's are in the folder on my phone either. If I hear a working answer back soon I will request a refund.A couple of tips for Y'all:* The microSD card goes in upside down and get inserted at an upward angle. You can all too easily get the microSD card stuck or fall into the camera if you put t straight and toward the bottom of the slot; at least on my two cameras.* Long passwords or special characters for the WIFI password don't work> I thought I remember seeing a post that said 9 characters was the limit. Lots of people are sending these back because the couldn't connect to the wifi due to this undocumented requirement.

I don't often write reviews but I think this little camera is kind of nifty. I bought it to monitor my dogs. The picture is clear even using night vision. It is easily controlled to pan a room. My only complaint is with the app. I wish there was a setting to stay logged in since it often asks me to do this during one session. I also would like to see a setting for using mobile data when wifi is not available. I have to confirm this every time. When I consider the prices on regular dog cams, this is a real value. It would be nice if the company would make one with a 2 way video. Anyway I'm considering buying another one to monitor another room.
