I’ll give it 3* not because of the operation, but not for the image either, which is very good. Also, the wide-angle shot the lens makes is perfect, as with just one camera I captured the entire front of the house, which is 15 meters. The installation to achieve such a view was done on a balcony. I have bought 2 pieces and will buy 2 more soon. I have inserted a 256GB memory card and it stores about 2 weeks. Storage is only of snapshots when it detects motion. When it’s windy, if you have trees moving, the camera picks that up too, but if you lower the motion sensitivity you’ll find it won’t trigger unnecessarily. On the plus side, rain and cold don’t affect it at all. The night view is quite satisfactory.
Strong alarm siren that you can turn off whenever you want. The app is perfect and never freezes. At least for me so far. Let’s go to the negatives.
After one month of use, I’ll say the camera’s downside is the battery. It absolutely does not last 6 months as the manufacturer says, unless you have it in some storage room where no one ever goes.
On the camera I have in front of the house, since it frequently detects motion, the battery lasts 1 month for me. Of course, it doesn’t bother me at all personally, but it lost 1* because of that, since it states 6 months. On the second camera I have installed on the back side of the house, where you see a field, so it doesn’t detect motion often since only the occasional cat or dog passes by, the battery, statistically speaking, will last 4 months. In the first month of use it has dropped to 78%. I should mention that this 22% battery consumed in 1 month corresponds to about 3 motion detections on average per day.
The app notifies you 1 second after detection. Very good product overall. VFM
I’m coming back after almost 6 months.
Everything I said above still applies except for the battery issue.
So there, after 6 months of use, I’ll drop another star because after the first charge, which was okay, the battery performance dropped sharply. Now it doesn’t even last 20 days.
It is not suitable for permanent installation. I imagine the battery will get even worse and in a year it will last 3-4 days. Money wasted. Get one with permanent power. It’s a hassle.
