Well, the battery died because we didn’t have it plugged in. Where we have it mounted it is not easy to do this. Charged it up and now it doesn’t work. I am thinking we have yo do the entire set up process again, which wasn’t the hardest but seriously I already did it once.
Under settings it seems you can received notifications and one of them is if the battery is low. Yep I turned that on now. I will update again once we reset everything and start from scratch.
We have been using this or a bit now. I wanted to give it a fair review after using it awhile. This is our first camera and we are happy with it.
I cannot comment on the waterproof portion, as we have it installed under a front porch roof. I can comment on other aspects.
The camera was set up by my other half, he then shared it with me so that we both have access to the camera. Set up was easy. We have a strong Wi-Fi signal where the camera is located which helped with the easy set up.
The picture is decent and clear. I can make out who is at the door which came in handy when we were at an appointment and a delivery was being made. We were able to use the speaker function to tell the person where to leave the delivery. We were 30 minutes from home and still able to use the function which surprised us.
A family member came and I was in a work meeting so not able to answer the door. I was able to tell the family member the door was open (I was expecting the person) without leaving my meeting.
We like the capturing of moments when people come to the door or the camera senses movement. We have it set that it doesn’t go off because of the dogs. We were able to control how wide the scope of vision is our which is nice so we can’t be told we are recording someone else’s property, as we are not.
We do not pay for the cloud service offered. We did install a micro SD card. We have not had to recharge it yet since the initial charge. It does show on th video feed how charged the camera is which is a major plus. We are looking into hooking a solar panel to it, if possible but as long as the first charge has lasted a recharge won’t be a horrible interruption.
We are enjoying the camera so far and would recommend it!
