Once it's setup, it works really well. my default software is able to play the videos that are captured with this unit, so I didn't need to install any additional software of drivers. You do HAVE to connect the unit to your TV to set it up. The setup is a little confusing, but not too difficult. If you have an alarm system in your home, with motion sensors mounted inside, you can mount this and people might think it's just another, larger, sensor.If you're concerned about personal property, or need a nanny cam", this will do the trick. There is a built in menu that must be setup before you can use it.
The videos are just OK quality, about like most inexpensive surveillance cameras. I just put the card in my card reader and everything is there. I set it up for motion sensing recording. You can set it to record all the time or motion sensor. You can even set the times it should record if you know who or what you want to check on. If you know who you're looking at, it's easy to make out, sort of like a cell phone video recording.The unit is a little bigger than I expected, so it's not really "hidden".
I just think it's expensive for what you get.
My only criticisms would be that the mountis on the cheesy side and sticks out too far from the wall. I bought this camera to cover my work office - lots of expensivegear and computers and such. Also,don't even think of running on batteries. It was easy to set up by connectingit to the front RCA input on my TV. It's quite wide-angle, so aimingis quite intuitive - just guess, then check the SD card in yourcomputer to verify aim. 12 hours is wishful thinking.With a brand new set I got about 8. Plus, you'll simply forget aboutit after a while, it will be dead, and then something will happen thatwon't be recorded :) But for the price, it can't be beat.
So far everything is going well. We bought ours for safety because our grandmother lives with us.
The motion dectector has to have motion some what close esp. The camera works well but it has to have plenty of light(wish it had one on it).
how easy it is to use and it serves its purpose. in dim light or it will not go off.
I like it esp. With Nurses, Aides and some family members we bought this to make sure they were not doing anything to her when we were out.
It is worth buying the larger SD card so you don't have to worry about running out of memory.
Was really surprised at the quality of this product. I have it mounted in my house and have it on when away and have found that it does not miss a thing that happens while I am away.
You can view the whole other side of the room. Everything works as advertised. I told my wife about it, and she took quite awhile to find its location. A little larger than I thought it would be, but not too large. I mounted it behind a table lamp shade, with the camera eye just below the shade. We purchased it to monitor her jewelery boxes. Works very well.
