mydlink 4+

Bought this camera on a whim because I was heading out of town for a few days and our subdivision had been a hub of construction companies for the last several weeks. We knew some of the regular workers but there were plenty new people we didn’t know so I decided to run out and buy this camera just a couple of hours before my planned departure.
Well it actually took me longer to drive to the store and get back and unpack it than it did to get it hooked up to my WiFi internet service.
So far I’m enjoying watching my pets and talking to my spouse while I’m away from them. Great security camera for the price. If it keeps working as well as it has been I plan on buying another one for my cottage.

I appreciate the 360 view camera and that I can access the app but I am a little let down. Maybe it’s because it isn’t for situations of significance and maybe more just “monitoring” but I have a 19 year old dog that I can’t leave alone. Sometimes I run across the street to Walmart if he falls asleep and I expected real time monitoring in case of an emergency like if he has a seizure or something. By the way, I have an iPhone that’s only a year and a half old, all new iOS updates and no issues. But the camera on the mydlink app often loads with many delays if I click out of it briefly while grocery shopping and it also freezes. I left to go to a coffee shop thinking my elder pup was asleep only to nice I’ve bee staring at a frozen camera for 15 minutes. By the time I got home (shop was 5 minutes from my home) he was stressed out and soaked himself, I felt so bad. I really wish they’d fix all the issues in this app and I’m sincerely surprised that this thing has almost 5 stars. Especially with the level of technology these days. I will look for alternatives soon. So sad.

I bought a set of 2 cameras, they worked perfectly for the first 3 months I had them. One day suddenly out of nowhere they stopped working properly, I get notifications saying my cameras captured movement but when I go to view the recording there’s no recording at all. All my previous recordings are completely wiped out and erased now for whatever reason I’m not sure why and how that happened…I done everything I can to fix this problem on my own….yes I was subscribed for premium package for the cameras but I canceled that subscription since the cameras aren’t working properly now. I’ve reset the cams by app and manually, I’ve unplugged them for 10 seconds and plugged back in, still nothing and I’ve even uninstalled them and then reinstalled them and again nothing. So I sent a email to the company they emailed saying from my description of the notifications I am getting from the cams and no recordings it seems I’m not subscribed for recordings…I’ve emailed back and told them I was subscribed and needed to know what else to do but never heard back from them again so I guess that’s $80 down the drain on another set of crappy cameras!! 🤦🏼‍♀️
