" ... This camera far exceeds my expectations. ... I would highly recommend this camera to anyone in the market. ... "
" ... The picture quality for a 1080p camera sucks. ... "

" ... Less than 3 minutes start to finish using iPhone app! ... "
" ... • I contacted their customer support a couple of times using 2 different methods they have available on their ‘Netvue App’. ... "
" ... It sends you push notifications through the Netvue app as well when it detects movement. ... "
" ... I have had no issues with the NETVUE app either. ... "
" ... The app functions are pretty easy to figure out, and I have the sensitivity and zones configured as to not get a bazillion text alerts every time a wayward aphid wanders into the field of view. ... "

" ... -Enter the WIFI information in the app ... "
" ... It was extremely easy to set up, download the app, link the wifi and you are good to go. ... "
" ... Have now 2 cameras running on wireless WiFi. ... "
" ... Scan the code, enter wireless password, push wifi button and it linked up with server. ... "
" ... • We used Wi-Fi rather than run Ethernet to the camera. ... We have a large house and our existing Wi-Fi signal was strong enough, without a Wi-Fi booster, at the inside and outside locations. ... "
" ... Getting the unit to sync up with the wireless router and phone took the longest. ... "
" ... The WiFi activation is very easy and straight forward as long as you heed the warning to only use your 2.6 HZ network (not 5 hz “A”). ... "

" ... I'll report in another section about how long an 8GB card will record. ... Once the app and camera have been configured the camera will begin recording to the SD card. ... NOTE: the SD card must be formatted to FAT or FAT32 in order to work. ... "
" ... There are so many new features like microSD card formatting in the app. ... "
" ... With SD card it records continuously in a loop. ... "
" ... I love the option for the SD card recording as well. ... "
" ... It can save images up to 9 days or maybe more with out cloud service or memory card. ... "

" ... I have had it installed for a couple of days and it senses motion well. ... "
" ... • The motion detectors work well and give you options on the level of sensitivity you want, and location within the camera view for monitoring motion. ... "
" ... The motion detection works great. ... I love that I can customize it to set different times for the motion detection to be on or off. ... "
" ... Motion detection ia also good, let me know if anyone get to my front door within second. ... "
" ... I like that I can turn the motion detection on or off as well as the notifications. ... "
" ... Notwithstanding, the quality of recording during night vision and motion detection is flawless. ... "
" ... So my requirements were - 2-way audio, night vision and motion detection. ... "
" ... I love that this is motion activated and that you can also set a time frame for the motion activation to trigger and send you an alert. ... "

" ... Sound quality is great. ... "
" ... The image is so clear it’s amazing and the audio is really good quality. ... "
" ... The built in speaker is fairly sensitive which is nice for an outdoor camera. ... "
" ... I can now see my entry way and two way audio is a plus. ... "
" ... Next thing I know is I hear a few more melodious harbingers of delight from the camera and an image is showing up on my phone app. ... The sound/voice option works, but don't expect concert quality sound, because that's asking a bit much. ... "
" ... Picture is very good and sound not bad. ... "
" ... They have great picture, sound is good but has made a crackle noise, a couple times, but goes away quickly so not to worry! ... "

" ... I really that I can ask Alexa to show me the camera and it pops up on my TV. ... "
" ... The idea that I can ask Alexa to show me outdoors while in the comfort of my home without having to reach for the phone in order to see if there is movement outside the home is a definite plus in my book. ... "
" ... It’s working so well that we just bought a second one for home, which we have connected wirelessly. ... "
" ... Like my 1080p foscam that I find hard to setup and connect. ... "
" ... They connected to my fire TV as advertised and when I say “Alexa, show me my backyard”, it connects within two to five seconds on my big screen TV right in my bedroom or living room. ... My connection is pretty good. ... "
" ... The Smart Link feature which is what it attempts to use to connect first didn't work for me but the backup QR method worked just fine. ... "
" ... It works with my Alexa ( I have all throughout my home) to show me activity. ... "
" ... I use the app and I have an Amazon Alexa I use to view my NetVue camera and the two work together seamlessly. ... "

" ... A unique round bubble wrap keeps the camera safe in the box. ... "
" ... Please keep in mind in these pictures that the camera is looking through plastic and glass to see out my window. ... "
" ... Opening the box and you will find a very VERY impressive bubble wrap protecting the camera shell. ... This protection is probably overkill but that makes me happy. ... It feels very well built with a metal exterior and it definitely seems up to the task of withstanding outdoor use. ... "
" ... I feel more secure, and at a greater piece of mind now. ... "
" ... The hardware quality is excellent, made from aluminum, it's extremely study construction. ... "
" ... It's a sturdy camera. ... "
" ... Feeling more secure, and hopeful to see some deer too! ... "
" ... I strongly recommend this product if youre looking for a great choice to feel more secure when you're away and even if you're at home, away from the cell phone or tablet, you can watch what's happening on TV just saying :"Alexa show me front door (or the name you assign to the camera ) ... "

" ... I haven't had a chance to mount it yet, but it is serving it's intended purpose nicely. ... Since that's all that really goes on while I am at work I have decided to mount the camera on the front porch. ... "
" ... I feel more secure, and at a greater piece of mind now. ... "
" ... Always have my place cover. ... "
" ... I would suggest getting some screws with a hex head at a hardware store since standard phillips head screws like the ones it comes with are common and might make the camera easy to steal if someone tried. ... "
" ... You'll just need to determine for yourself if this camera will fit your use case. ... "
" ... I don't foresee any issues with the install as it should be pretty straight-forward given that there are anchors and screws included. ... "
" ... Easy to adjust the mount angle - Tools included. ... "

" ... Wireless connection is very solid unlike the SmarrCam which I moved away from. ... "
" ... One you get it working, you can remove ethernet cable if you configured it for wifi and use either 2.4 or 5GHz for cell phone. ... "
" ... This cord includes the power cord, Wifi Button, and ethernet cord if you plan to use ethernet instead of wireless. ... Don't be confused, there is also the power adapter that has a very long (at least 12 foot). ... "
" ... I didn’t use the Ethernet connection, but am impressed it has one. ... "
" ... I also like the options of connecting through your wifi network, or ethernet cable to your router. ... "
" ... I removed the Ethernet cable the day after and then the wifi kicked-in and it work wirelessly. ... "
" ... Anyway, after trying to hurdle past this "Binding Dilemma" about six times in six different places in my house (and six different outlets), 'lo and behold it finally did it on the last stab! ... "

I was able to set that up easily enough, but there was up several (up to 10) second delay for the image to appear after I asked Alexia to show me the front camera, so that the UPS guy (with my Amazon packages) was already heading back to his truck before I could see what he had brought me. ...

" ... What this means is that I have a choice, I can either face it at my front door to see who is there, or I can face it out towards the driveway to see who is coming. ... "
" ... Mounted this on garage pointed at front door about 15 feet away. ... "
" ... Note - I had already set up one Netvue camera at the front door when Netvue asked me to so a review and offered me a chsnce to get a 2nd camera. ... "
