Could have been good, but the streaming and the app really let it down, 1 Nov. 2017

Fairly good quality camera, but really let down by the number of times the live stream is 'loading' (for buffering pauses) and by the terrible quality of the "Home Cam" app. If the app and streaming problems were fixed it would be a 5-star camera for me, but the problems happen so often and frequently that it's just too troublesome to see past.

We use this as a baby monitor (given that the device has lullabies, lights, night vision, and the ability to talk from it) but this is where the inconsistency of the streaming hits the hardest - the 15s "loading" messages which come up pretty much every 2 minutes are way too long when you've got a small child you're trying to keep an eye on.

The monitor has a red light underneath the camera which lets you know when someone is connected to it and watching. It also has remote options (via the app) to disable the camera, 'do not disturb' (which lets you monitor and record events but without notifications to...

Pretty good but prone to lose connection, 10 May 2018

I bought one of these cameras a while ago. Just after the warranty expired the camera stopped working, but Withibgs (who originally made and marketed the camera) replaced it free of charge.

I have mixed feelings about the camera - when it works it is very good, but it has a habit of dropping the internet connection at the most inconvenient times. Also, the quality of the compressed recordings means that they’re not a lot of use, unless you pay a monthly fee. I’ve refently taken out a subscription and pay €7.95 for 7 days of storage, which isn’t too bad. However, if you download the video it seems to be compressed which isn’t any good is you want to download and keep a video for security purposes. However, the camera is good. It has a real-time zoom which is useful and it is very sensitive and locks up my dogs moving about the house or any noises (unlike my Hive home camera which seems sluggish to respond and only records for a short time and missed someone entering a room and...

You simply can’t trust it, 1 April 2018

Terrible reliability. The camera disconnects (looses wifi) every single day. Simetimes a few times a day. How yiu can trust a baby monitor which suddenly looses connection? It used to blink bright red light when it goes offline and wake up baby with this bright light. In last versions of firmware they added switch to disable the light. But it still blinks sometimes.This is a the only product I use with such unstable connection. It used to be power adapter issues and Nokia adviced me to use iPad charger instead (what if you don’t have it?). They s nt a replacement adapter too but now neither new adapter nor iPad one help.Just look for another camera.
