The many functions on this camera and solar system are so easy to use and make life so easy and make you feel safe. The camera has strobe lights with alarm. A on and off switch light in app and screenshot and intercom mode. It also has the option for recording with the cloud subscription which is very cheap and awesome. This was the best choice I ever made for home security instead of spending hundreds of dollars I spent $40 and my friends say it works better then there expensive systems.

This is a review of the app, not the camera: I’ll start with the pros: the app has most of the important capabilities necessary for most users. It has advanced motion detection, alert control, ways to watch video of detections, etc. The problem is that it doesn’t do any of these well. For starters, the video all detection events starts pretty late after movement. There is no easy way to download videos from the device. You can sometimes click on an event message and it’ll take you to the right place in the timeline, but it usually doesn’t work. You usually have to scroll up the timeline to find whatever event you’re looking for, and if you don’t land exactly on the event itself, it resets you to either the beginning of the day or the most recent event. You can press “Record” and the event you want to save starts to play, but even if you hit it immediately, it skips the first few seconds of the video. There is no intuitive or clear way to delete videos from the device short of formatting the entire SD card. I’ve had to physically power off and on the device a few times because it’s detection alerts and recordings were so late. It has the ability to be better and be a perfect low-price alternative to all of the other overpriced camera systems and apps, it just takes a little work from the developer (who doesn’t seem to touch it much).

All in all, it’s a pretty decent app for a free app, the only way you can set motion zones. If you set alarm times, record times too short 30 sec max. it needs to have one minute two minute record times. There is too much lag between record time and the next motion detect record, I pull up in my car it records but it’s only 30 seconds and it can’t even catch the fact that I got out of my car and walked in the building. that defeats the purpose of recording motion. Please fix record times up to two minutes at least. I understand the concern is that the battery will wear out, but that is up to the user to decide I believe if it is tweak properly, it should be fine.
