    Amazon Cloud Cam Security Camera, Works with Alexa

    • Nice feature that you can talk to people in the room.
    • Lots of false alarms and zoom feature is really poor.
    • The immediate notice in the phone app of motion detected is a very nice feature, along with the recording of the segment of detected activity.
    • but I feel like there could be more features
    • My only complaint is that the 2 way audio feature is not reliable
    • 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
    • The free features where all i
    • Away feature often does not work
    • app still fails on my iPhone 6 constantly and the “home away” feature is garbage
    • I am not a huge fan of having a camera in my house that's always on, but it has great features which I'll explain below
    • I totally love the feature that the camera records as soon as motion is detected
    • Missing important feature
    • I like the record feature, but it’s not necessary for the way we use it
    • More expensive than the cameras I'd been buying but the quality is exceptional, the App is full featured and excellent and the cloud service is very reasonable.
    • The feature that allows you to speak through the camera can be a little hit or miss, but once you get used to it, it works well.
    • You can make out very good distinct features of anyone on your porch but you can also see people across the street from our house pretty well also
    • Easy to install, good quality video clips, and I like the microphone feature
    • All other features work as described on the device and app.
    • I also enjoy the two way talk feature.
    • A zoom feature on playback would be helpful
    • Have to purchase an app for better features, but does the job without.
    • Only 3 stars due to missing a feature that seems like a no brainer- if watching live there is no button to record what’s happening
    • 2 way communication on device is a nice feature
    • That’s a nice feature
    • The Home/Away feature is how I like to enable the camera when I leave my apartment, but it needs an option to expand the geofence to limit false alarms
    • Another really cool feature is that it saves the videos in the app
    • There are several advanced features only available with a paid plan, but for now I don’t need them
    • Finally, I like the feature of home/away, as the camera will sense your phone's presence and turn off when you're in proximity and turn on when you leave, which is perfect.
    • The only real complaint is that the Home/Away feature is buggy.
    • Hopefully it's still sensitive enough to detect someone breaking in through a window, but fortunately, I've not been able to test that!I like the Home/Away feature, so the cameras and motion detection automatically turn on when your mobile device with the app has left home (presumably with you) and switch off when you get back home
    • On the bright side, it does have a very nice playback feature to look at the past recordings.
    • Easily installed, easily set up and has great features and options included with the app
    • The Home/Away feature works great
    • This this has a lot of nice features, but one of the greatest is the ability to send the video to the Police phone.
    • Sure, it doesn't have all the fancy benefits and features of Nest or Ring cameras, but it's a great camera that will serve its purpose for simple indoor video monitoring and recording.
    • It does a pretty good job monitoring your home when you are away, but lacks some useful features.
    • My personal favorite feature is the motion detection, the only issue is you need to set a schedule or use maps to let it know your
    • Please Amazon, this is an important feature that needs to be integrated into the cloud cam!
    • I resent features only being available on the premium plan.
    • The quality of the camera is excellent but it lacks some features
    • Neat features but are only available on the paid plans, which start at a couple bucks a month
    • Nice feature, but not a big
    • Nice features
    • But above everything the best feature is the home/away setting.
    • I was interested in a new security camera option for my office and this new Cloud Camera looked like a good option with good features
    • Basic features are free and work well enough for me ... for now.
    • Super easy to setup, great features as well as easy to use and great video quality!
    • Originally considered a side-benefit, but I really appreciate these features
    • The camera is great but the Home/Away feature does not work always
    • Yesterday we dd get an alert that a person was detected in our house, and it was our Bengal cat.... not sure if it was confused by the size and majestic beauty of the animal, or if his movements were not animal like?I left one star off the review because I had to pay for a storage plan in order to get better notification features.
    • Really like the features that allow you to manage the range and hours of operation
    • I don't have a compatible phone to use (Windows), but assume that feature works well from other user reviews
    • not enough features, blurry image past5 feet, night vision stays on after it gets daylight, keeps camera filming on black and white
    • I’m having trouble figuring out the home/away feature.
    • You get notifications in real time when the cameras catch movement it records the incident aaaaaannnnd ITS FREE! so many more features, but I’m not going to write a 10 page essay here.
    • Is that feature even available?
    • Recording is a great feature
    • In order to activate the better features of this camera, you have to join/pay for the options
    • Being able to login and watch anytime is also a great feature
    • I do like the feature that detects my phone so that it automatically turns on/off when I am away or at home.
    • The Android feature has never worked
    • I ended up needing more than one and went with Arlo as it has far superior management and features for multiple cameras.
    • It does a pretty good job monitoring your home when you are away, but lacks some useful features.
    • The talk-back feature works flawlessly (I scared my husband when he did
    • The home/away feature is not explained well
    • Great feature if you have pets.
    • It also has a nice feature that allows you to automatically shut off when you are home, and auto start when you are away.
    • The other nice feature that it has is its compatible with Alexa
    • Love that I can set features like Home and
    • Great picture with good features out of the box with the cloud app - unfortunately you'll need a paid subscription to take advantage of the full range of features, but they are certainly easy to setup and seem to work consistently with no issues I'v observed so far.
    • Phone app is easy and nice with simple, usable features
    • The features in the app are solid, but it's a little cumbersome
    • It can be used in conjunction with Alexa which is another great feature.
    • Awesome feature
    • Great video quality, awesome features and super easy set up.
    • I like the enlarge feature which allows be to make the movement which is off in a distance larger
    • The best feature for me is that the notification will record the whole motion not just limited to few seconds like all the other cameras, so you can tell what is going on when a motion was detected not just the very beginning only
    • Great features which include motion detection option and two way speech.
    • Liked the notification features
    • The features on the nest just work so much better.
    • and I really like the features
    • The camera is clear and the features are nice, especially being able to talk through the camera (I've used this already to talk to my dog.
    • The app is good and I like the home/away feature
    • ("Home/Away" feature; works off recognizing the cell phone the app is installed on is in range).
    • ’s home away feature is pretty faulty which results in a whole lot of erroneous alerts
    • Love the feature where if you're home, it will shut off
    • Home away feature wasn’t working properly
    • However, the home/away feature does not work.
    • Feature Rich
    • It shows real time footage in 1080p HD, send alerts when motion is detected, records audio and receives audio which is a good feature
    • Easy to use app for live stream viewing and other useful features
    • Home/Away feature not working
    • The biggest decision factors for me was usable features without a subscription, decent camera, and shortest live view delay
    • Coming from a Canary as they bait and switched me by making 90% of the valuable and core features only available to paid plans just a couple months after buying the product
    • The android version lacks certain important features, such as "Home/Away"
    • The microphone feature is awesome
    • Good video quality, features are lacking, cannot add multiple users to an account , can't add more than 3 cameras without being forced into a plan, even if you don't want it
    • The motion detection is a great feature but is sensitive to even the slightest motion.
    • Worked great at first has nice features such as motion detection alerts
    • and I miss that feature.
    • Oh, and the Wyze webcam can also be pivoted remotely, which is a very nice feature!
    • solid camera, small size, sharp image, good features
    • My favorite feature is viewing the cam on the TV
    • It also take more than a few seconds to load many most of the time, and all of the important features are only via ANOTHER PAID SUBSCRIPTION, so it is quite useless to me
    • I don't need super specific camera features, LED this/that/the other, fancy mounting, and all the other minutiae that some folks complain about.
    • I love this camera and all its features..
    • The ability to talk is a great feature!Took 10 minutes to install!
    • The two-way audio is an awesome feature too!
    • This particular feature can get a little buggy if you lose internet service.
    • Bad;Too many notifications, wouldn't be a problem if it didn't require a paid cloud membership to have a "smart" feature differentiate people versus pets, and trees outside a window in the wind
    • One of my favorite features is how it alerts me to motion
    • The home/away feature can be tricky and doesn't always work as expectedOverall, this is a terrific system, but you'll need to spend some time (not a lot) messing with configuration settings to get it right for you
    • The "Home-Away" feature which uses your cell phone's location to know when to turn the camera on or off fails regularly, which significantly impairs this camera's capacity as a security device
    • The other plans are a bit costly for my liking, and I don't believe I really need the extras that they offer - except that 'person detection' feature sounds pretty cool!
    • The app has all the controls, the cloud from the computer has limited features (unless they're behind some cutesy cryptic icon that I won't click because it looks fiendish)
    • That would be a nice feature.
    • I am trying to monitor my mailbox, as I've had issues with theft, but the angle from the windows isn't very good, so being able to focus the camera onto a smaller area for a sharper image would be a good feature.
    • It does lack some features that Nest currently has, but it meets my needs.
    • Love the motion detection feature that sends me alert with a video of whatever caused the motion attached
    • Love the feature where you can talk and has a very large viewing area.
    • I like that feature
    • The android version lacks certain important features, such as "Home/Away"
    • Wonderful features
    • The two-way audio feature is neat, though it's quiet and sounds like a old fashioned telephone connection.
    • I miss this feature which I use very often on my outdoor Nest cam where I am able to go and see a recording of any time for the past 30 days
    • The camera was easy to connect and has great features
    • With the amazing picture quality, live feature and alert features
    • I like the “home away” feature that automatically turns the camera off when it
    • 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
    • haven’t gotten to work as
    • 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.
    • * Works with Alexa as
    • Otherwise it works as it is supposed to
    • However after a few months, it appears that the motion sensor is not picking up movement as good as when it was brand new
    • n’t get the blue light to turn off, which I would prefer
    • n’t ruin it for the rest of us
    • n’t work at night
    • n’t work at all!
    • n’t sound as loud as I would like
