Good camera, decent app…one suggestion

I bought the cellular camera to use as a security device at my construction site, where there is currently no internet availability. The camera works pretty well (a bit on the slow side) but there are a couple changes to the app that would make it even better as a security tool:

1. I like the audible alarm feature. Meaning you can set the camera to sound an alarm when human motion is detected within a certain area and within a given time period. The problem is the alarm only stays on for a short period of time, while the subjects are within the field of vision. SUGGESTED ENHANCEMENT: The app should allow the user to set the length of time that the alarm sounds for when it is triggered.

2. The app allows you to set a notification on your phone when the alarm is triggered. This is good but the only available the notification is too subtle. If you happen to be asleep when the alarm is triggered, the notification (in the form of a quick tone and banner on your screen) is likely too subtle to wake you up. SUGGESTED ENHANCEMENT: The app should allow you to choose a notification that is in the form of an alarm. Meaning if you’re in a different location from the camera and it detects human motion during a specified time window, you should be able to choose a persistent alarm that goes off in the app as a notification so that you’re much more likely to hear it right away.

Very good cam & sw - a great value

As I am exploring using this camera and software, i am finding it to be very easy to set up and use, move around to different locations to figure out how it works, what it picks up and what I can manually record.
It only triggers recording for people. Clearly this is by design, as most buyers purchase it for security. For that i would judge it to be ideal and a great value for the money!
However, I actually bought it to be my “critter-cam” to capture and record animals and birds coming over the fence from the wild lands beyond. So far it appears that it will at most trigger recording on motion from larger mammals and those only when it is very close to the subject. It does not trigger on birds at all, even on the highest sensitivity. But I can still record birds when I monitor it live and simply record manually when they appear!
Otherwise I think its a great camera - excellent picture, includes sound recording, has great night vision too. I’ll probably get another camera for front door security!

Great product!!

A quality product that’s simple to use and install. Great price, definitely planning on ordering more in the near future. Had worried about using rechargeable battery cameras but the quality of video is outstanding, the mic/intercom works very well, and with the multiple options for everything from data storage to notifications to device sensitivity and so forth, it offers easy and simple individualized settings to suit my needs.

The battery life is months long, and adding my wife to the home account was simple and as easy creating her own account and adding her on the app.

Some reviews said they needed to contact CS. Not sure why. It was a simple install with a drill, a couple different bits to create access for the screw mounts, and the two cameras took less than an hour from set-up and downloading the app, connecting to wifi, and onto to installation and using them immediately. Highly recommend these cameras.
