ndoor Security Camera 2K, Galayou Pet Camera, 360 Degree WiFi Home Security Camera for Baby/Elder/Nanny with Night Vision, Siren, 24/7 SD Card Storage, Works with Alexa and Google Assistant G2-2Pack

*UPDATE* I was finally able to create an account on the app after about 20 tries. The camera works and is fine for the price. My only issue is that there is no camera cover or way to turn the camera off when I don’t need it except to unplug it. Other than that, no complaints.

I downloaded the app directly using the QR code included in the camera box and tried to sign up for an account. Unfortunately, the app would not let me create a profile, no matter how much troubleshooting I did. The app requires a verification code, and although I tried using 3 different email accounts to sign up as well as just using my phone number and even using my Apple account autofill, no verification code ever arrived. I resent the verification emails countless times, checked all my Junk/Spam folders, and even reset my mailbox filter rules to allow blocked email addresses through — but nothing worked. This seemed like a great camera for the price, and it appeared to work really well from other people’s reviews, but it’s pointless to buy if you can’t even use it. I have contacted customer support and will update my review if anything changes, but I don’t have super high hopes.

I love these cameras! I’m really bad at technology but they were fairly simple to set up with the app and pretty easy to mount on the walls. I will say that the screws that come with them are too big. The camera wouldn’t sit flush to the mount and would have fallen off so I had to go get smaller screws but honestly I don’t even care because of how well the cameras work. I use them to see what my pets are doing while I’m gone and they have significantly lessened my anxiety and provided a comforting sense of security in being able to check on my pets and know they’re okay.

Not gonna lie, I was hesitant to order a wifi camera, but with me going to night shift again, it helped me a lot to know I could grab my phone and peek in on the twins at any time.
Honestly, I was taken aback by how good the quality is. First pic in my review is a screenshot on my phone from this camera. Second pic is from my $400 monitor (not wifi) camera. The difference in quality is uncanny.. Obviously the cameras are hung up in different corners of the room, but you can still see the difference in quality. Highly recommend this camera if you like to check in while you’re away for whatever reason. I almost feel like I’ve underpaid.. Very happy with this. And no wifi hacking issues so far. Got this 10 months ago for reference.

Update: After having problems communicating with the company due to inability to validate my account – they responded to my email and resolved the problem. Installation was ease and sharing with family members worked well – including verification.
One hint – if you change internet connection, you have to reset and reinstall each camera.
=================================================
The cameras arrived as expected and look really nice. I followed instructions and downloaded the required app to my iPhone and created an account. However, I did not receive the required verification email after many attempts and various emails (checked junk mail and still nothing). I then tried their alternate method by using my phone number – same problem, never received the required text with verification code after several attempts and several phone numbers. I then sent an email to the address listed on their app and it was immediately returned as undeliverable. By now, I’m thinking that the company is out of business and I should return the cameras. I finally went to their website and found an alternate email address for USA and re-sent the email plus sent another email to let them know that the email in the app was not correct. Now, it’s the next day and no response to either email. While the cameras may be great – the app and customer service are not working out, I will be returning the cameras if I don’t hear back from the company by tomorrow.

After using the SimpliSafe monitoring system in my home for years, I decided to take a chance on Amazon-purchased cameras for the first time. I was mainly in the market for a couple of cameras to be able to “keep an eye” on an elderly person. When I started my search on Amazon, these cameras were among the first to populate. After reading a few positive and negative reviews, I decided to pull the trigger and purchase them. They have turned out to be a great investment so far. Here are some of the pros and cons I noticed so far.

Packaging and Installation:
The box they came in is sturdy and neatly organized. The cameras are straightforward to install, and the instructions are simple. It is unlikely to have any issues assembling these, even if you have little to no experience setting up cameras or with technology in general.

Functionality and Performance:
The cameras work splendidly when there is plenty of day or artificial light. The view is, for the most part, crisp and well-defined. Likewise, the picture quality with the night vision is decent. However, if the cameras are too close to a light source when the room is dark, they will likely reflect the circuit board where the lens is mounted. This isn’t a huge deal as you can still see clearly most things around it. However, it is somewhat annoying. Although, now and then, it takes a while for it to respond, I like the feature that allows you to rotate the position of the lens 360 degrees right from your phone. This feature mimics that of a joystick in a video game controller. It is possible that the lag is due to issues with the internet connection. The devices also allow you to take stills and videos, which are saved directly to your phone. It is worth noting that the company also offers a cloud storage service for an additional fee. They also come with a microphone to communicate through the camera. I love this feature as it allows me to control Alexa remotely to turn on TVs, shut off lights, play music, turn on the news, etc.

It would be ideal if the company would develop a way to access these devices through your computer in addition to your phone. But all in all, these cameras are an excellent choice if you are not looking to spend much money on complicated monitoring systems. I recommend it.
