    Maximus Video Security Camera and Outdoor Light - Craftsman Black - Compatible with Alexa

    • As with most "smart" things, this is quite dumb as a light fixture because it doesn't allow the the light to shut off if the camera is on.
    • I love this thing
    • when it says there's motion it takes several attempts to see a live feed making these cheap things DEAD ON ARRIVAL, if they can't even let me see what caused the motion sensor to go off at 3am what is their value.
    • Those things are not cheap, so I cannot afford go out and keep testing them
    • However the things it does record are very fun to watch sometimes
    • After months of fighting with Kuna, i received a new one and same thing happend.. not worth it
    • The best thing about this light is the quality fixture.
    • 1st thought; this thing is awesome and seems to work perfectly
    • I absolutely love this thing!
    • it?And they want money to record that?KUNA will get 5 stars from me when I can view simutaneously, and I can integrate with systems like "smart things " etc.
    • If you turn on alerts this thing will blow up your phone even if you are home and step outside.
    • They promise one thing, don't do it and then after multiple follow ups still don't delivery on the promise
    • I have sensitivity at 100% and the damn thing doesn't detect what it's supposed to detect 70% of the time
    • Other than those two awful things, I love this
    • I bought this for security but if it goes offline all the time, this thing is useless
    • LOVE THIS THING and would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quick and easy security camera setup
    • Which is a good thing but kinda startling to get those kind of alerts in the middle of the night.
    • Can't say enough good things about this, it works as advertised.
    • The sensitivity issues I had when I first bought the lamp are a thing of the past and I hardly ever get false alerts
    • Even if it was reliable, having the ability to start a recording is a good thing because any event might be out of range of the motion detector, but you still want/need to record the event.6.
    • I should also point out that this app does not integrate with any existing hubs- smart things, nest...nothing
    • Still, if we're home we certainly have extra protection and that's a good thing.
    • One of the most annoying things is talking through the speakers as it's "walkie-talkie style"
    • I had this for a while now and the thing was great at first
    • This thing was great for the 3 months that I had it before moving.
    • I love this thing.
    • Honestly the only bad thing about it is having to wait a few seconds for the video to load so you can see who is at your door
    • but I love this thing.
    • However, lately it has been a lot of disconnecting from their server, and most frustrating thing is you have to physically power the device off and on to get it reconnect again, can't do this from the app remotely
    • I thought it was the best thing to buy for front door safety, two-way communication, etc etc after reading so many positive reviews
    • This thing is awesome!
    • OMG this thing is so cool!
    • Oh, and my fave thing happened today when my lawn guy was here
    • While not perfect, this thing is definitely on my list of "this IOT device improves my life" list.
    • But all these issues are not the worst thing about Kuna.
    • That being said, I can not say enough good things about the Kuna customer support staff
    • With all the "smart home" integration of devices like this, it seems Kuna is keeping this thing proprietary to themselves, which is frustrating to me as I'm in the market for smart home control, but want Kuna as part of it
    • I have taken off one star because of how hard it can be to see at night, other than that this thing is awesome!
    • One more important thing for the buyers of this product
    • Normally when a fixture wasn't to heavy I would just make my ground connection and wrap the ground from the fixture around the ground screw and let it hang ( probably not the best thing to do to the fixture)
    • One thing of note, customer service is amazing and will not hesitate to recommend to others
    • The first thing is product support
    • One thing I would say could be a huge improvement is to have more range of motion in the lens, the ability to look sharply to each corner could be better.
    • Well, funny thing they pulled all the way in the
    • this thing isn’t cheap
    • I am no slouch when it comes to IT, I have been in the industry for 20 years, these things just are not working like they are supposed to.
    • love this thing.
    • When it goes offline when I am home I can reset iT when I am away from home the only thing that has worked is to delete the app and reinstall, and that does not work all the time.
    • The best thing I've bought for my home
    • At a price point of $200, this thing should work flawlessly
    • Needless to say, my home setup is robust enough to run 20+ IoT devices and several PCs and many other smart things
    • Regarding the need for the expensive annual premium subscription - it is not needed unless you aren't able to monitor your videos regularly as you can simply download and save what you need, taking care to review things before they expire.
    • Nice, this thing is awesome
    • Only good thing is live
    • It seems like after the last firmware update and app update, things have drastically improved
    • I had to replace the mounting block with a larger one from a home store and reinforce things to support the weight of the light
    • The one nice thing is the greetings that it gives, including holiday greetings
    • n’t take because it didn’t work
    • No joke!Won’t stay connected.
    • No joke!Won’t stay connected.
    • n’t miss an alert before
    • well I just decided to use it since they are just design difference anyway.
