Reviews around price (4.67 of 5)

  • 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
  • My wifi is stable as I don't have issues with other devices (as far as I

Reviews around setup (4.64 of 5)

  • Smelled really foul when unboxing, difficult setup, and lots of unsolicited follow up emails
  • The app. was a pain to get working, and it's required for the cameras so even the initial setup was rocky.
  • Easy setup, great quality picture and sound, and the app is easy to use.
  • The setup was not too difficult and I loved being able to see what was happening at the restaurant when we were not there

Reviews around sound (4.47 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around work (4.32 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around product (4.27 of 5)

  • However, given the functionality and the price, it's a great product.
  • Not a bad product, just not what I was expecting, and does not meet my needs.
  • I really do think the product I received is a lemon/dud
  • Over time Amazon has made this product worse and worse by restricting software backing.
  • Great product, highly recommend to those who have a young child at home

  • Quality is good, sound is good, and even night vision is good

Reviews around feature (3.79 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around app (3.59 of 5)

  • 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.

Reviews around background noise (2.60 of 5)

  • 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.
  • 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

Reviews around activity (2.46 of 5)

  • n’t get the blue light to turn off, which I would prefer

Reviews around alarm (2.40 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around lack (2.40 of 5)

  • My only complaint is the lack of free storage beyond 24 hours
  • 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
  • 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.
  • 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
  • Easy to setup, but the lack of integration with IFTTT and other smarthome platforms is a HUGE miss

Reviews around movement (2.01 of 5)

  • Usually, if I just see movement, I don't stress as it may be a bug or other movements (like wind blowing something over) in the house.
  • Another time, the camera picked up some movement (not clear what) and began recording
  • We've set "detection zones" so they can ignore the dogs' movements
  • Currently I don't have the subscription so medium size sensitivity doesn't detect well enough and small detects my pets movement

Reviews around trigger (1.85 of 5)

  • 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
  • n’t work at all!

Reviews around wire (1.35 of 5)

  • My wifi is stable as I don't have issues with other devices (as far as I
  • 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
