Simple security camera

The camera was easy to set up and connect to WiFi. The camera connects to and Android app on your phone. You can use the app to control the camera pan, tilt, and take videos, pictures, and panorama views. It has a microphone and speaker so it can also work like an intercom. You can also set it to automatically record 6 second video clips whenever it detects motion. You can also set it to trigger on a baby crying but, not having a baby, I haven't tried it. I set it in my front window and it detected everyone that came to the door and every car that drove by. Also trees blowing in the wind when it's windy. You can set the motion sensitivity to high, medium, and low. When the camera memory is full it starts recording over the oldest clip in a loop. Which in my case is about 4 days worth. You can increase the memory by adding an SD card but the one I tried didn't work. Possibly because it wasn't fast enough since type 10 is required but I don't have another one to try yet. You can manually download the clips to the photo gallery on the phone. Unfortunately there is no PC app or any way to automatically download files to network storage, which I would have liked. The only way to automatically offload files from the camera memory is to subscribe to their cloud service. I also didn't find a way to control the length of clip that's recorded when it senses motion or how long to wait before re-arming the motion trigger. I didn't subscribe to the cloud service but it looks like that might give you more options like continuous recording.
