Almost, but not quite., 17 Feb. 2016

I think I've probably arrived at this product in the opposite way to everybody else. I started using the iVideon software with my old IP camera (a Zmodo), along with a local PC it's a great piece of kit with as much historical recording as you have disk space - best of all, for usage with up to 2 cameras is free. However the fact I had to have my PC running constantly (costing around £4 a month) - I wanted the functionally of the iVideon app without the need to have my PC running.

Enter the Oco HD Smart Wi-Fi camera. It's a smart unit and seems to be well made. The flat usb cable that it comes with is handy and keep mess to a minimum.

I use this as a baby monitor however, I rely more on the notifications for sound and motion where as my wife prefers to have the stream running constantly - it works well for both of these scenarios.

There are 2 downsides that have disappointed me so far.

- The auto night vision mode doesn't work very well or at all...

Easy setup and good quality picture, but budget for a cloud storage plan., 5 May 2015

So far, I'm quite impressed with the build and quality of this camera. Setting up is very easy, install the app then create an account and a wizard walks you through adding the camera. The live feed is available on Internet Explorer as well as iPhones and iPads (all I have tested it on.).As nothing is stored locally, you have to budget for a cloud storage plan to make this useful for anything other than live feed, and that will cost about 40 Euros per year. I have deducted a star for that as it is quite expensive.

The Oco is far superior to the plastic-y Foscam aesthetically, 9 Nov. 2015

After ordering the underwhelming Foscam C2 (which was subsequently returned due to a problem with the firmware/software interface) I ordered the Oco CO-14EU as an alternative choice to the Nest cam (which I felt was too expensive).

The Oco is far superior to the plastic-y Foscam aesthetically, but it also functions much more robustly. Settings, live streams and stored 'events' are easily accessed via the IOS app. Turning on/off the camera or notifications remotely is intuitive and a joy compared to the glitchy Foscam equivalent. Equally, despite the Oco being lower quality on paper than the C2 (720p vs 1080p) the difference is not perceivable and in reality the smoothness of the Oco footage (no motion blur) seems a huge improvement after experiencing that of the Foscam.

The only slight issue with the camera (as others have mentioned) is that it seems to go into night vision too readily. However, the quality of night vision is such that I do not feel that the...
