Try Another Security Camera
344932
I had been a Dropcam user for about 3 years. Between my home, vacation home and business I got up to using more than 25 Dropcams.

I bought them first as a low cost solution to try to monitor my vacation home, over 1,100 miles away from me. I grew the collection of cameras to monitor high traffic areas of my businesses and other properties.
There was no better camera software than Dropcams.
However the company was purchased by nest and all the good in the software was taken away.
I have sinced switched to a superior system (ring)

I tried one of these cameras. The look atrocious to start with and you have to manually turn it on. IR does not work through glass so as a dash cam, it is useless for night vision.

It also records in segments with time loss between each segment. 6 seconds or more that could be the seconds you need in court.

I use the VC-100 by thevideocopilot.com and it has served me well for over 18 months without fail. A good investment for $250.00

We bought two of these cameras and setup was easy enough but when we travel and attempt to view the cameras online, with good internet signals, the app stops working. The cameras do not send quality video and if they do send video they stop sending within a minute or two. I have to close the app and reboot to try again. I would not recommend this product.

Mickey mouse club camera, get something nicer. Return policy from the company sucks

Don't bother. There are cameras that work out there. Good software but that is all.

Returned it because it kept losing WiFi. What good is a security camera if you can't trust it to work when needed. App is IMPOSSIBLE to figure out (and I'm pretty tech savy).

Ive had this camera since April, now its mid July, and I have to say that the software is just not ready for prime time.

I get a notification that somone is at the door but the video spins and spins and won't load.

I get a notification that someone is at the door, and a cloud has created a shadow on the wall in my entry way.

For now I'll stick with my nest cam.

The biggest problem with this camera is the software.  This is a big company and they release UNSIGNED SOFTWARE which is nearly impossible to install on a secure newer computer.  Their web site FAQs suggest lowering all sorts of browser security settings.  Even doing this against my better judgement, I couldn't see images on a Windows 8.1 browser because of Active X issues.

I'm an IT guy, and I struggled with the setup.  If you're no a first class nerd, good luck punching through your firewall to see your kiddies while you're away.  They suggest installing no-ip and several other work arounds.

And guess what - you just traded one security issue for another. Any good hacker could figure out how to get control of that camera and maybe even your network.

This is not a full function security camera.  Does not work as dash camera at night, because the Infrared Light reflects off of the glass creating a useless white glare or a dark viewless image. The Trigger Settings do not work.  Irritating.  I ordered the camera directly from BHS website

all the camera could be better as in terms of movement.. if you don't have the subscription it is very limited in function as far as recording and it doesn't alert you that someone is actually at your door..

I am disappointed because on the first day after installation constantly all 4 cameras lost signal; I have to reboot the DVR to see all 4 cams come alive, but it only last no more than one hour, and then signal breaks off one by one again; Please I need help to fix the issue

After the third power outage, it simply won't connect to my phone via the app. Looking for a different camera on Amazon right now.

Three cameras no longer work after install. Don't know who to check with if I can return but wires are run in walls an thru out attic.

I had high hopes for this camera given the reviews but it fell short. The motion detection is not up to par. I was in my basement and it only took a picture of me once for over an hour. Also, the two way audio does not work especially from the camera side so I can't use it for baby sitting. For the price, if you want to view only, then you are good.

This is a good security camera. I had a little problem with it but Brian from technical support help me fixed the issue within 7 minutes.

I purchased this security system with four cameras and installed all four cameras around my home. The first thing I noticed is the wavy video provided by two of the cameras. Then I was disappointed to see that none of the cameras provide infrared video with enough quality to identify an object at night let alone a person, regardless the distance from the camera. While looking for a fix to the poor night vision one of the four cameras started failing and causing alarms. While I haven't had any issues with the DVR I can't recommend that anyone purchase these cameras for the infrared night vision.

Ah, after a bad break in, installed security system. Decided against real cameras for multiple reasons but this is effective. It blinks and any robber would consider whether it was real or not, I think, and maybe be deterred!
