The ieGeek Security Camera is pretty well built – I say this having some experience with the previous model which had some issues with the camera housing being a bit weak – the body seems stronger and better built. The install is easier on this model only requiring two screws with wall anchors (if needed) to install. The screws could be a little longer, but they are adequate. The mounting plate is fixed to the camera body unlike previous models in which it separates for installation. The video quality and night vision are very good without being super high res taking up too much of the memory. The free cloud storage only gives you 6 second snippets and only holds it for 30 days (I think?) but it’s enough to download if you have an event (break-in or package theft or whatever). And the cloud service is reasonably priced if you end up wanting more cloud storage. It takes up to 128 Micro SD card for local storage. It very quickly and easily connects to my wifi. The app seems a little clunky at first, but once you get explore it a bit it is pretty easy to navigate. I do wish it could go a bit wider on the view, but it is pretty decent as evidenced in the attached photo where you can see the coverage is about a full 90 degree shot of the front of my house from front to carport on side. Quickly notifies if the motion detection is on. It has options for alarms and strobe lights if desired. The solar panel with only afternoon/evening light adequately charges the camera. I’ve never had the battery run down while using. I would recommend this new model camera if you are looking for an affordable camera with pretty robust features. Customer service has been very responsive as well.
