I really, really wanted this product to perform as promised as it sounded perfect. However, in reality it has proved to be a very disappointing purchase.
Most of the time the camera reports that it is offline for no apparent reason, and simply does not work. Not only is the camera sitting right next to the router, it is even plugged in to the back of the router in order to provide power, but still says that it is offline most of the time.
On the rare occassions when it does report that it is online, it fails to perform as expected. You cannot set up an immediate notification when it detects movement, you can only specify that the notification is delivery 30 seconds or more after the event. Not much use if you are using it to monitor a shop or workshop and need to know as soon as anyone has entered.
Even setting the notification to 30 seconds, the notifications are then delivered several hours (or even days) later.
Also on the rare occassions that it is online, it reports a lot of false positives. While recently working away for a few days I received a flurry of notifications of new activiation discoveries that apparently occured several hours previously, but viewing them revealed nothing at all. The room was empty each and every time.
I only gave it a 1-star rating because I can't give it zero stars.

Have had a number internet cameras with varying performance. Common to all has been the internet setting up difficulties, the clever dog is a breakthrough with none of the complex set up procedure. It's a perfect device for beginners with perforrnance exceeding some of the best. Recommended.

We use this camera as a security device. It was really easy to set up and the app notifies us if there is any movement within our house when we are away. It does seem to be triggered twice a day (in the morning and evening when the light changes) but you can live stream a picture to your phone to check all is OK. Overall, a great product at an amazing price which gives us peace of mind!
