The camera is basically a way to sell their subscription service. Once your trial subscription expires, you lose a lot of functionality that makes the camera work well. I still gave it two stars since the camera is a decent quality and gives a good picture and, if you install an SD card, it is still usable after the subscription. Without the subscription; -they limit notifications (type and #) -you can only preview 12 sec clips (longer recording is available with sdcard)
