The video quality on this camera is better than I expected. I really like the fact that I can view the video on my cell phone from anywhere with only minimal setup. I think that for the cost of the camera, value is definitely there. The reason I took off a star is that on the set that I received, I kept having trouble with the camera losing the wifi and settings when using the camera on battery power. I didn't see any indicator on the app that would show battery level either. I discovered that the battery does a great job saving the camera's settings but not so good at powering the unit as a stand alone camera. As a result, I keep the camera powered constantly with the included usb cable and a power adapter (that was not included). If I lose power, the settings will still be saved due to the battery. Therefore, the battery is good for ensuring that the settings are saved but not good for powering the unit without additional power from the usb cable. On one occasion, I inadvertantly unplugged the camera and left it running on battery power all night. As before, the camera lost wifi connection with the android device that I use to monitor the video and by the time I noticed that the the unit was unplugged, the camera was off due to the dead battery. I was happy that after I connected the power and the battery had a few minutes to charge, that it was able to re-establish the wifi connection without me needing to completely reset the device. In summary, the video from the camera is better than I expected. It does a nice job of recording onto the mini-sd card that I installed in case I ever need to save a video. It notifies me of motion based on sensitivity preference that I'm able to set. I really like the fact that after the initial setup, I can view the video from the camera on my phone even when I'm away. The major miss is that since the camera listing implies that it can run on battery power, the listing is not entirely accurate. In my case, I must keep the camera powered on with the usb cord and power adapter to ensure that it maintains a wifi connection. On a final note, I did notice that even though wifi constantly drops out when using the camera on only battery power, it still managed to record the video on the mini sd card. A solid four stars for this camera!Read full review

Pros: Great battery life, very small, very light. Cons: Camera resolution is 320x240, badly translated instructions very hard to follow, app slightly confusing, device is temperamental and will randomly drop from wifi or not follow settings. You get what you pay for.

ONLY ONE problem; BATTERY DOES NOT last long, so you have to do something else to add another 3.7vdc battery. NORMAL USB 1.0Amp charger is too small to use as A replacement for the battery. MANY ways to get alerts if someone does come to your house. E-Mail photos to you or anyone. It ONLY record sound, if the ENTIRE unit is OUTSIDE BUT then you can get the camera stolen?

Image is a little scratchy but clear.. we use it to spy on our dogs when we are not home so works great for that! I'm sure it would be good for anyone who wants to check on their house when they are out and about. Fairly easy to install and the app is very easy to use.

You get what you pay for. Not a bad deal for the price. Easy to install and get working. Battery doesn't last long, if you need to be cord free. The instruction manual was translated from Chinese by someone not fluent in English but if you have half a brain you can fingers it out.
