Owners praise
- Works reliably over the long haul for many owners, with several running fine for a year or two
- Decent video and night vision, plus two-way talk that owners say works as advertised
- Flexible placement and easy to mount or set anywhere you want it
Owners complain about
- Drops connection or stops sending notifications, sometimes for hours, regardless of router or signal
- Misses motion or has hit-and-miss detection, and object detection feels dated
- Battery drains fast, especially the more features you use, so you're frequently recharging or adding a solar panel
