Love how easy it is set up and the video is really clear, even at night. App is simple too. Just wish it didn't require a subscription for full features

Great visual

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera works great - we put it in my back patio so we had security back here - the set up in lengthy but once you get everything up and rolling it’s a great quality of camera.
