Product description is off.
Was really looking forward to this cam but should have payed attention to more reviews. It does not have a mic and doesn’t have a battery so it always needs to be connected I naught it for small size that I wanted to attach to my cat once it goes outside but won’t work since no battery. Also I was never able to connect it to my phone it would link to it but would just saying connecting and never got a visual. I tried getting it to work for like 10 mins but nothing but throughout that time it got really got so I doubt you can use it for long terms might be a fire hazard since it got pretty hot in the lil time I was using it. Had to return since it wasn’t usable. It should prob be removed from the market since it seems like no one can get it to work

I would not buy again
Camera only seems to work when it wants to. When it worked it had great video. Then it gets a little hot. Stops working. To me it’s a fire danger. So I thought I would exchange it for something different but I’m like 2 weeks past my 30 day return so I’m out my money and a camera. Live and learn I guess

Just overall sucks, don’t even waste your time. I REPEAT, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY
I don’t even see how in the world these things are selling, it’s just pure trash. Quality sucks, it doesn’t stay charged and you have to keep it on charge the whole time, and it has its own WiFi network you use to connect to it but it’s not secure so literally anyone that knows what they’re looking for can easily access it and that’s a major security breach.
Worst camera to ever get period point blank!

You definitely get what you pay for
The item description and the fact that they can’t distinguish between an SD card and a micro SD card in their answers to customer questions should be enough to tell you that this item is not good.
First, the slot for the micro SD card is not good. It consistently does not lock in the card. So, while I was recording hours of video thinking it would save to the card, it in fact saved it to the local device. That might not sound so bad, until you realize you cannot transfer that data to the micro SD card. That means you can only use the app for video playback.
That itself wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world, but the app playback is absolutely garbage. You cannot time scroll through the video at all. So, if you have 20 minutes of video, but need to see only the last 10 minutes, you have to wait 10 minutes of real time to get to the pertinent parts.
There are also serious problems with maintaining a connection to the camera. You can tell it to record video via the app, but then, if you put your phone to sleep, it stops recording. The procedure here is to tell it to record, homescreen so the app is in the background, and then put your phone to sleep.
Despite it being a useless item for most of its purposes, I gave it 2 stars because it does have motion detection (flimsy as it is), and it does actually take photos and pictures. But look elsewhere for mobility of data.

Indoor camera
The camera had a decent picture. It came through over the app fairly clear. Connecting the mobile app to the camera was confusing the directions were not very precise in word for word and step for step. The camera name and what was in the directions didn’t match up, in addition to , the directions for locating the correct ID or camera was not clear as to where it would be found . Also wi fi and cellular instructions were no where near what was printed and were possibly for a different model. The biggest disappointment was for the sd card that is in the description for the camera that said was included with the camera purchase is not correct. The sd card was not included in the package delivered . For the price the camera itself is ok. Also, the power for the camera is not reliable it gets hot and shuts off . You get what pay for. Dont count on it for a reliable source. For fun it’s just ok.

Used this with elderly parent to make sure needs being met. The camera was clear and able to log in with phone to check in.

Terrible
Don’t waste your time or your money on this. This camera sucks. The USB cord didn’t work straight out of the package and it won’t stay connected to wifi for morethan 1 min.

Great Camera for the price and class, but motion detection doesn’t notify…
I was really surprised how clear the picture was with this camera compared to other small spy cameras I’ve had or seen. The night vision on mine anyway was much better than just being good out a few inches. I could see all the way across a decent sized room with it, so it works well too. The big drawback has been that I cannot get the motion detection to work and notify me if something trips it. It’s the main reason I bought this item, so I could find out if anyone was breaking into my place, because I’ve had a couple expensive items come up missing. So, if I’m gone for over an hour, then it would take a long time to go through all the saved footage to see if anything happened while I was out, which I don’t have time for. I’d easy to find where to you’re supposed to are able to turn motion detection on, but no joy. So, if the sellers can get it to work, then it would be a great camera to have.
