The way you edit your commentary is much appreciated. You must have watched "Dragnet" back in the day. "Just the facts, ma'am". What would have been a 15-minute review by others was fast-moving and tight. Thank you, Jordan.

To anyone thinking about buying this, DONT! They have now removed many of the include features and moved them to a paid subscription model. You now have to buy a pricey subscription to be able to use night mode, to be able to see more than a few seconds of motion, and now for it to even record all motion. They have deleted my account when I asked about this in the fourms. Amazon is taking full refunds from anyone that has bought one from them due to this.

It does work with Wink (home automation) now. I do plan on buying one to integrate with my home automation very soon.

Pretty awesome. I do wish there was a web gui so I could access it from my computer. If they had that I would totally pick one up.

[demonviper]

if you lose power, wouldn't you lose wifi too? So is that really a con?

[FranklovesBunnies]

what if youre sleeping and someone breaks in and you don't hear the notification on you're phone . is there a way to make the alarm go off as soon as it sees movement otherwise it's pretty much just a camera

[tannersmith]

Can you watch video from a PC web browser?

[ogrady]

I have two...I love of getting one more...

[TheBestFlosd]

What would happen if I was sleeping like a baby and my phone battery died or I would simply overhear the notifications on my phone.
in Armed mode, would the system automatically sound the siren or do I need to do it all manually?
Basically, if I'm a deep sleeper I would have no chance to know if there was a intruder in my house until the next morning when I check for notifications?

They are missing a trick not adding PoE into that imo.


This would also be awesome for server room monitor if you can have it alert on temp / humidity.

[GothicKittyMadness]

you could always make your own wall bracket for it. :)

[brysonjakins]

Will it be able to get use to seeing pets

[ashleyb]

someone breaks in, grabs the bloody thing and chucks it in the toilet....now what??

[eoinwalsh]

Can it be set to armed and sound alarm at night instead of mobile alert

[Mo.Jo.]

What about timestamps? Does the recorded video have timestamps?

[mik]

Imagen if it had tasker integration. Trigger when someone sets of the alarm to send a message to all the family members even if they don't have internet, scheduling with tasker and so many more possibilities! Maybe then I will actually think about buying it.

[ogrady]

As for the comment about not being able to mount use velcro!

[obaidsaeed]

Got it recently (oct2018)
Cons: you need subscription for recording downloading & two way conversation. Otherwise you have 24hr data only.

[saintsamaritan]

I just want it to work. I don't need to get all the info gadgets. Is it imperative to get a subscription?

[ogrady]

I also like the fact that it doesn't look like a camera...it looks kinda like an air purifier.... Not obvious if you get my drift
