AVOID! Disconnects from my network, stops detecting the SD memory card, & slow-to-respond support.
QUICK SUMMARY: This camera has a great feature set and HD video, but the camera is so unreliable that it's pointless to buy it no matter what the feature set is. A security camera has to work. All. The. Time.BACKGROUND: I've tried many kinds of security monitoring cameras over the years, but this was one of my most frustrating experiences. I'm already using a Zumimall-branded camera which appears to be a sister company to Conico. Both Zumimall & Conico use the CloudEdge mobile app so you configure the camera and view recorded videos.WHAT I LIKED:- Clear HD video with good color- Wide-view lens, maybe 150-degree or so- Better night vision than the Zumimall camera I also have- More fine-grain control over motion sensitivity than my Zumimall camera- I installed this Conico camera using the Zumimall hardware; they're physically designed the sameWHAT I HATED (and is a DEAL-BREAKER):- After the first day, the camera randomly disconnects from my home WiFi. I have excellent, modern WiFi and this camera is within 15' of my router and reported very high (>80%, sometimes 100%) signal strength. And yet, the camera would disconnect and I'd have to power-off, then power-on the camera for it to reconnect. That is unacceptable!!!- The camera initially recorded videos to the SD card, then just started reporting that it couldn't detect the SD card. Then it did detect it. Then it couldn't detect it. The SD card isn't at fault; I verified it's working correctly using my laptop computer.- I contacted support with a detailed explanation of my problem. Their response? All they wanted was my Amazon order number. No help. If I'm contacting a vendor about their product, they really don't need my order number to help me, their customer. I gave them my order number and, hours later, I haven't heard anything.ANOTHER NOTE: The product I received came with a small card saying, "Congratulation! You are 1 out of 100 to select to Win our free extended warranty and Gift card." They want me to enroll to win a $50 Amazon gift card. I didn't do it. It doesn't pass the sniff test and the email address on the card uses an Outlook.com domain.CONCLUSION: I've reviewed Amazon products for many years. I'm an Amazon Top Reviewer. Check out my profile. If I am recommending that you DO NOT BUY this product, you can trust me on this one. I'm processing my Amazon return right after this review...

Great customer service if you have an issue.
What is the point of having an SD card slot when the device does not record to the SD card when it senses motion? The only time it records is when i click the record button in the app. So am I supposed to be looking at the camera app 24/7 and then way for something to happen and hot record? This camera is a complete joke.UPDATEDSeller sent me a replacement and wanted me to give 5 stars before I even received the item. I said I would need time to review the item to make sure it works. I have changed my review to 4 stars of having to deal with this mess in the first place. I can however say that customer service is great. After using the replacement camera I can say it's definitely better. I think it's hit or miss with these things on the antenna. So now that I have a good one let me say that the imagae quality is good. There is however still a huge delay in video playback. After taking the sd card out and playing it direct on my PC there is no lag at all. Good clear fast frame rate. So it's something in the software or wireless. I also have 96 percent wifi quality. This one playing back using the app isn't as bad as the first one tho. So I'll chalk it up to if I have an issue where I need a recording for the police I'll just take the card out and copy it using my PC.

Perfect all around.
Great product for the price. One of my vehicles was burglarized, so I decided to get this product to help with any future theft issues I might have. Upon receiving the product, the battery was at 80% and I didn't bother fully charging it before installing it. 2 months later, I checked the battery life and it was at 20%. I'd say that's some pretty solid battery life! The quality of the picture and field of view is pretty amazing as well. It has the option to either use an SD card or you can pay $2.99/mo. to utilize their cloud storage. I gave it 5 stars and I'd give it 5 more if I could. Great product.

Inexpensive and convenient security camera with tons of options.
We recently upgraded our outdoor security cameras. Our previous security cameras were alright considering they were more than 10 years old. However they did not give us all the options that this security camera does and it does with an inexpensive cost.This is a great security camera! This camera provides a greater viewing are than most. The night vision is extremely clear. The motion detection is highly sensitive even in the low setting ( it detects cars driving by), which in my case, us great! I can view my cameras when I'm away from home running errands. The installation was quick and easy as it took me less than 5 minutes to set up my two cameras. The instructions are very clear and they even provide spoken instructions to help. I also love the fact that these are completely wireless! Our old cameras had wires going in and out of the house and looked a mess. With wireless option, we have the ability to place the cameras in more locations without being as obvious.As a reminder that these do not work on 5G Networks. We happen to have 2G as well and so I just had to select that option when connecting to my network.I would highly recommend this inexpensive, wireless security camera as it works for all our needs.

Works just as intended!
For the price this works really well! The WiFi range is great, the app functionality is good with intuitive layout and is easy to use. You can even have more than two devices looking at the live stream - it does slow it down and reduces the overall bandwidth however.The battery-life while streaming does deplete very quickly. It appears to lose about 5% every 10 minutes. Haven't had it long enough to see how long it lasts without streaming, and of course it would depend on how many "events" you get and of you are sending to the cloud, or using night vision, etc. It would also be nice to fully disable audio recording, should out choose, but you can only turn off the speaker volume.Other than that, the image quality is good, it seems to be well enough made. The thread for the base is the same as standard Go-Pro hardware so that can give you more options should you need them for mounting.Great product so far.

Clear video and great battery life
This is a pretty good security camera. It is made well with good quality materials, seems durable and seems like it will last a long time. It was pretty easy to setup through the app and didnt take too long. It was also pretty easy to install and I was able to do it myself. The video quality on this is pretty good and it is nice and clear. The wifi connection is also pretty good since it has 2 external antennas. The battery on this can probably last a few months depending on how many times it records in 1 day and I like how it has motion sensing built In and automatically starts recording once it detects motion and turns off after a while to preserve battery life. The night vision on this is also pretty good and you can see clearly at night as well. Would recommend.

Excellent picture quality and easy to use
Excellent security camera, the night vision is really good quality. Our home is under renovations and I got this camera to make sure we don’t get break ins while we are not living in the house and it’s perfect. There are so many different settings and functions using the app I love it. Instal was easy and it’s wireless which is ideal for us as we plan to move it to a different location once we are done, I highly recommend this camera.

Incredibly easy to install!
My draw to this camera was that it was wireless. I was worried about how the picture quality would look given that we have many wireless devices that run all the time on our wifi, but we installed it yesterday and it is perfect!I love all the features it has through the app, I look forward to playing around there some more.The night vision is great so far and the motion detection works well. If you happen to have motion sensor flood lights near where you install the camera, you will get an extremely clear picture at night!We’ll be getting a second one for our backyard!

Stable and High Quality
This cam is easy to setup both on phone and installation. I wasn't expecting a good night vision but to my surprise yesterday it was pretty clear. it comes as two way communication which is a bonus at this price and quality. No complaints for picture and sound quality. Over all I love that camera because its cordless but the only thing I have not used long enough is for charge duration.
