I wasted more than twice this price, on other cameras that just did not work "quite right".
We are enjoying it and we got it at a great price too!!
Amazon Prime sale day was last week and this camera was at a great price.
Like a lot of people, I've been considering the purchase of security cams for a long time but the high prices of some brands and questionable reviews of other brands made it difficult to take the leap and make the purchase

I like the cloud cam because it has a clear picture and sound
Also the app does not have custom notification capability, so even if notifications were reliable, I would have to set my phone default notification to some loud sound in order for me to hear them, which I did.
The only way I can restore alerts is to turn sound off and back on in camera settings, notifications, cloud cam, sound; once i do that and walk into a room to retest it, the alert is almost always received on my phone but occasionally if I reenter the room five minutes later it may not send an alert until I turn sound off and back on
this camera is easy to set up and there is good quality sound and picture
The picture is very clear during the day and even at night, the sound is perfectly clear
Bought this for a baby monitor, pros: Quality is great, motion detection is good, app works well, cons
This was easy to setup and works great to check in on my pet when I am out of town
Easy to set up works great have in a vacation condo for security
This cloud cam has great motion sensor (no delay) and awesome picture quality with night vision, these features work much better than the other brands
Home/Away enabled, it keeps notifying me of motion in my living room, and as the notification also manifests itself with a vibration on my Apple Watch, it is very irritating that the system is not working properly
The home away feature never works consistently on any device and it takes too long to stream live vid or shut the camera on or off
Worked great at first has nice features such as motion detection alerts
It does a pretty good job monitoring your home when you are away, but lacks some useful features.
clearly there is a software/connectivity defect as I have home away feature enabled and my smart phone w alexa app and cloud cam app is on the table next to me, even worse yet, i ask Alexa to disable the camera and alexa
Phone app is easy and nice with simple, usable features
It was "on", it was "working", meaning I could look at my cloud camera account or the app and see that the camera was "working", but it was not being triggered by any movement at all and was not recording any events at all
The app is easy to use and so far it works like a charm
App is easy to use, plus I can have all my roommates be able to use as well
The poor build quality of this camera is only surpassed by the ridiculously buggy, unreliable companion app.
Update 9/6/18 - More often, than not, the app for this camera hangs up - for a loooooonnnnngggggggg time.
The "-s" is the video quality pix-elates alot so not as sharp
but the audio broadcast over the camera is so quiet that you cannot hear it unless there is no other background noise in the area
Amazon decided to cheap out on the LED’s and put 8 annoying lower quality IR lights around the lens.2
Also the audio is very scratchy and has a very loud background noise.

The Cloud Cam security camera comes with a swivel-head camera, mounting bracket, screws/mounting inserts, a fairly long power cord, and instructions.
picture quality goes down fast, so if you wanted to zoom in to recognize facial features, you won't get a good pic of your burglarAmazon Cloud Cam Security Camera, Works with Alexa.
I purchased the Amazon Cloud Cam Security Camera for a baby monitor.
Amazon Cloud Cam Security Camera, Works with Alexa I received this camera and was very excited!
In my house as sun shines thru the windows and light and shadow change in the room I get multiple false positive motion alarms
However after a few months, it appears that the motion sensor is not picking up movement as good as when it was brand new

But either way, because the app and the camera are both necessary to use the device it is also posted here as well as on the app
This caused me some significant pain and suffering as I'd been using the camera to record illegal home entry and severe verbal abuse and harassment from my landlord.
My only complaint is the lack of free storage beyond 24 hours

Wide video range and easy to setup and connect to Alexa but poor video quality and lack of remote control (rotation, etc.) outweighs those benefits.

Easy to setup, but the lack of integration with IFTTT and other smarthome platforms is a HUGE miss
At night the false triggering is even worse, and I will wake up with hundreds of new videos with zero perceivable movement.
In fact, Alexa routines integration in many ways is better than IFTTT with primary drawback being the trigger on devices being limited to amazon cloud cam and ring cameras only
n’t work at night
After a few months, the camera continues to work reliably, with the following exceptions: 1) camera still false false triggers as above, 2

It would also be great if they made it easier to hard wire, because if the plug is right there what is stopping someone from just unplugging it?Second is the options for multi person settings
If you want to install in a high location (corner of a room, for example) you either have to dangle an ugly wire down to an outlet or install an outlet at the top of the wall, which also looks odd.
There is no hard wired internet connection available on the device which I think would help tune out this issue
