Time lapse and notifications awful - but wait!
It's good, very good. Easy to install and setup. No cables and wires. I've put a 8gb memory stick in mine and can reject it and watch videos on the main PC. Very concerned about the time-lapse though. Was expecting a package from Amazon on Tuesday 27 October 2020, heard a van door go and it was within my delivery slots. Switched the camera on and observed the man getting out his van. Suddenly there was a knock on the door? I was still watching him walk to my front door time-lapse was more than 10 seconds. A notification then was made on my iPhone? Amazon really need to get this sorted, not good enough. In this day and age it renders the 'talk to' useless? By time, you've connected to the phone and got the camera on (15 seconds after the event) they've gone... so what's the point?? I've marked it down to 3 stars because of this. My rear garden camera has a time lapse of around a second which beats this hands down. If Amazon can get the time delay sorted it will be a fantastic bit of kit but at the moment perhaps other cameras would be better? UPDATE: 8th December 2020. I obtained another camera about 2 weeks ago and placed this at the rear of the house. Having 2 cameras improved performance greatly. A quick change in settings to activating 'early' motion and time was down to almost 6 seconds from notification to seeing who was at the door. Really pleased now, an extra camera does help! Thoroughly recommend this product and get 2 cameras if you can!

Good camera
Does the job well. Good to buy when on offer. Batteries do NOT last two years. Yearly subscription bit expensive for what you get.

Worth every penny for security peace of mind
I use this product to scan my drive. The view covers my car and the path to my front door. I was more than pleased with the quality of the image and that's not even on the setting for the highest quality. Pretty good at night too. The motion detection works really well, despite a slight delay. What's really great about it is that with the app you can take a photo of the cameras coverage and then set the zones that will respond to motion, ensuring that you are not always getting false alarms. My camera covers right up to the footpath at the end of my drive, so to prevent motion alerts from people walking past I've set my zones to ignore the footpath. Very clever! Easy enough to set up if you have just a little technical knowledge, if not, you may need some help. For the camera to store all the recordings of alerts you need to subscribe to the cloud storage plan. Not entirely necessary but definitely beneficial. Overall, a good buy.

Works great, but I think with certain expectations
I think the camera quality is great, like the app (using a memory stick in the sync module). It captures clips as needed and saves promptly so for my purposes covers the security quite well. Motion is also detected well (can adjust the sensitivity in the app settings). Wi-FI was a bit shaky at first (with a Virgin Hub), but when I got a TP-Link router, seems to be working reliably). I found it very easy to set up as well (just follow the instructions provided) and think it is great value overall. The reason I say about certain expectations is that for the price point, there are slight delays for real time viewing (well the initial loading approx 10 secs) no movements from the camera e.g. tilting. But as the item often goes on sale (£29 with the sync module and camera), would say this is a small compromise Would say in terms of capturing and storing footage for any crimes for example, does the job great and fulfils this purpose. No wires so easy to set up and can cover some awkward spots well. For more real time security, I think it would require a different product, but will also cost considerably more too.

Brilliant Camera - for the price would definitely recommend.
EDIT - regarding battery life ive now had this for about 8 months and have gotten a low battery warning - so batteries dont last the advertised 2 years. That being said it is in a location with high activity and i have the recording settings high so that will have contributed to the shorter battery life. Had this for about 4 months now and its great. Bought it as it was one of the few cameras that i could find that allowed you to save and view clips without a subscription. It came with a months free subscription (so i used that initially) but now have it set up with a USB stick attached to the sync module with clips saved locally - and definitely prefer this way. Took me a minute to work out how to access the local stored clips in the app - but once i did it is very simple. Only downside is viewing clips saved locally (rather than on the cloud) takes a bit longer - but still its not too long. Camera quality is really good and so is the night time mode. Good field of view on the camera. App is really simple to use. Cant comment on battery life as only had for 4 months - though I have the recordings set to max quality and duration so expecting it to be less than advertised. You do get a few false motion alerts and accessing the recordings can bit a bit hit and miss sometimes (most of the time no problems) but for the price i really can't fault it (i got 1 camera with sync module for £50). Would definitely recommend.
