This is my first move into security cameras. I'm really impressed. I ended up buying this after looking at the Amazon Blink. I'm glad I went with this one. The motion capture is very good, and I like having the option of either local or cloud recording (which costs money). I love that I can be notified on my phone when the camera senses movement. Customer service has been very responsive, albeit in somewhat broken English (CS comes from China).You can set to record continuously, or only record motion-activated events. I only record events, and it meets my needs. The company told me the recording uses 0.3GB per hour, 7.2GB per day on the SD card. If your events aren't too long, the card will last a long time. Once the card is full, it starts recording over the oldest events.I first bought the white one, then bought the black one since I felt it was easier to "hide" in my particular application. I'm still happy to have an extra one just in case, and I set it up at home when we go away on trips. For this price it's worth having a spare.I don't use the night vision, but when I tested it, it seems to work fine. I'm using it indoors where someone would have to turn the light on to enter the space, so there's no need for night vision. But if you need it, it's there.A couple drawbacks: First, this camera does not work on a 5G network, so be sure you know what type of network you're using. Also, I've been getting some false alerts on my phone. It seems to be related to heat. When the room gets really warm, it appears some kind of re-focusing happens in the camera which it interprets as movement. Just a bit annoying, but I'd rather it's too sensitive than not sensitive enough.In my correspondence with the company, I asked about security. Here's the answer I got, if you're interested:"... the video data upload is transmitted using financial-grade encryption, which can be completed using a dynamic key. With the double encryption of data and channels, even if your user data is intercepted by hackers, you can’t play videos. In addition, the video stored on the SD card is encrypted, and you must log in to the account on the application to view the video stored on the SD card. In this way, even if the SD card is stolen, others cannot watch the video on the SD card. In addition, we will desensitize the collected data to prevent data leakage."That's all. If you need a small and inexpensive camera, I'd certainly recommend this one.
