    I bought it so I could see and communicate with my kids while I'm at work and check in on our house while we're gone. It's a decent camera for the price but there are a few things I hope they change/fix soon. First, when you wish to speak to whoever you're viewing, there's a delay between the time you press and hold the button and when you can start talking. Annoying, but manageable. However, when you're finished talking, there's no notification to the listener so they can respond, leading to them speaking too early and me not being able to hear part of their message. Next, on so many occasions I have received a motion alert only to open the app and have the camera facing the wall. By the time I'm able to turn it around, an intruder would have been able to get out of sight. Defeats the purpose of the camera really. It worked really well with the door sensors in the beginning but now when I get an alert that a door is open, it's not pointed in the direction of it. Other than these problems, I like it. The night vision is great, the daytime is good albeit a little grainy, and the volume when I speak through it is loud enough to reach anywhere in our place.

    Zmodo works good, but acts weird

    While I don't have much experience with such devices the Zmodo does what it says it can do. Setup was simple, camera can be accessed anywhere internet is available. Device acts a little weird at time constantly pivioting and clicking, and going from IR to normal video even though the camera is turned off. Makes me wonder if someone has access to the live video. Why else would it constantly make noises when the video is turned off; set to home mode. The 360 degree camera works great vs. stationary camera. Anyway, for a $100 video camera it works great in my opinion and I would recommend it to anyone.

    Very easy to setup and install. I wished it can pivot a little faster but other than that it’s great.

    The camera was easy to setup and get going right out of the box. The picture quality is really nice. The wide angle lens covers two rooms from where I placed the camera. I’ve read others reviews that said it made a lot of noise , but the only time is makes a sound is when it goes in to night vision. Overall it’s exactly what I needed and works great.

    Is a good surveillance camera with a good quality vision and two way talk, the only issue is the capacity of the internal memory.

    Bought the camera due to my dogs doing crazy things while I was gone. Camera works great and the speaker too. If you like having an eye on the house while you are away this camera gets the job done. Only bad thing to say about the camera is the angle of the lens, hard to see items that are close and low to the camera.

    I purchased this camera to keep an eye on my father who is in a nursing facility. Excellent picture, playback, live view module and speaker. However, I wish there was a-way to increase the volume when speaking from a distance.

    Camera and night vision are excellent. Remote connectivity works very well. The only negative is the ability to set motion alerts and control imaging capturing.

    I like this cameras ability to rotate but it's limited to low areas. If you place it on a high cabinet or something it can't be pointed downward. I wanted it high up so the blue ring that glows on top would not be visible, kind of gives it away then the infrared is another thing that sticks out like a sore thumb. . . little red light just says look at me looking at you! Not a stealth camera for sure. I still use my other cameras that don't broadcast their position.

    This camera is great because it turns 360 degrees to follow any movement that it senses. It also comes with 2 sensors for windows or doors and the camera can be set to turn towards either sensor if the window or door is opened. It works great with the MeShare app, which I use for all my zmodo cameras

    Way too pricey.....I prefer the pan and tilt

    If you are going to use this camera at a height that's some where close to eye level then you should be good. The lens only moves side ways. No up and down movement as with the pan and tilt. This was not a problem for me as I had selected a perfect spot for it before buying it. It is set up at a level where in I have decent view of all the areas I want to observe. Night vision is good but not as good as the pan and tilt version. Day light vision is very good (5 stars). With regards to the Bluetooth speaker, I have not tried it nor do I intend to use it. The door monitors that came with it cause the lens to rotate about 360 degrees before coming to a stop in the general direction of the disturbance. Don't know why that is. Maybe I have to adjust the settings. In summary I would choose the pan and tilt version over this version.

    Purchased based on reviews and the fact it had temperature monitor. I had to call their tech support to get it connected to a wireless bridge set-up. Works great, picture quality day and night is really good. Alerts work and temp monitor is nice when gone.

    Having used it for several weeks, it works. Sometimes, for whatever reason, it doesn't, but comes back online quickly. This inconvience could be due to internet connectivity or router problems. Motion sensor works great and saves video from it quite well.

    Video is great and the app is amazing. This is a great camera and the door sensor is awesome. I get alerts right away and I'm able to access it easily via the app. I don't use the speaker but it is a nice addition. I would recommend this camera for any stationary location and basic home monitoring.

    Does work...no need for 360 view. Window/door sensors work. Everything connects easy. Easy set up. Not enough memory. Other cameras just take and save pics not video.

    Love it! I use this camera to look at my fur babies while I am away from them. Love the two way communication so I can tell something to my fur babies when they are doing something they shouldn't.

    Nice camera but there is no OFF button. If you want to completely shut it off, so it's not recording, you have to unplug it. A feature I wish they would change by a simply adding an on/off button.
