Good starter security camera

 

The price was good for this product. Set up was medium difficulty, but the set up wizard worked through issues. Support from Dlink for questions, particularly how to set up control options for the camera is non-existent, and is beyond the scope of the...

They deleted the first one so I thought

 

I would try again. The support is pretty bad. I have problems configuring 'Snapshot' and 'Video Clip'. I finally got 'Snapshot' settings to Save, but still no help with 'Video Clip'. I gave it '4's' hoping to get this one past the Censors.

Somewhat

 

I am somewhat pleased with the product. Set up was easy and it's nice having the sd card to record to. The app for the iPhone could be better plus apple doesn't support jvav which is the main platform dlink uses. The camera will work for diy security

Overall this camera is functionally fantastic. It has great features and is very well made. Unfortunately one of the things not mentioned is that a connection to the internet is required in order to get the camera set up and work. Once that is done...

Software/Site stink - Pain to adjust!

 

Short Story: The Dlink site to manage the camera stinks. It rarely adjusts the settings correctly. Displays the wrong info, wrong time in the cam even though I set it to my time zone.... tried the software to manage the cam instead... but the cam still...

Night vision and record ability

The site and software are never on point and suck when trying to adjust settings if you get it set in the first place

Great home secuity camera

 

I think overall this was a good purchase. The pricing for the unit was a bit high, however the extended features made my decision easy. Onboard micro SD recording, mobile access (iOS and Android) and Internet accessable were easy to setup. I wish the...

Easy setup, Mobile accessable

High price for image quality

Consumer review by:

Worthless

 

I purchased this camera b/c of the supposed ease of use and set up. I can not tell you how good the recording is or how good the image is. No matter how many times I reset the camera it would not connect to my router through when following the...

It looks clean

would not work wirelessly

Great security camera!!!

 

I needed something to keep an eye on my house. I'm able to hear as well as see what is happening in my home while away on both my iPhone as well as my iPad. Setting it up was so simple that a kindergardener could do it. It's nice to be able to see even...

Easy to use and the view is nice

I haven't found anything yet

Great camera and variety of software options.

 

Camera is easy to set up and takes clear photos and videos during daylight hours. Infrared works fairly well to get images at night. Very capable software allows many different settings.This product has... Sensitive motion detection, Adequate viewing...

Software options allow motion or timed recording and easy notifications(photos and videos) to e-mail address

May have to reduce wifi security level to enable trouble-free operation
