Mini Security Camera, Nanny Cam with 180°Rotating Lens, Free Cloud & SD Storage, 4K WiFi Wireless Surveillance, No WiFi Recording, Motion Detection, Auto Night Vision

I’m pleasantly surprised with this mini security camera. Despite its size, it offers impressive 4K image quality, and the 180° rotating lens allows it to cover a wide area without needing to be physically moved. Installation was simple and the WiFi connection is stable.

PIECE OF JUNK. I should’ve known as soon as I saw the Chinese characters on the box smh. Ugh. This this is terrible. I got it to work once…for 8 minutes and then it just stopped working all together. It doesn’t connect to wifi, the QR is NOT REAL LMAO (really that was the funniest part) I tried on 4 different devices including a friend’s and the QR code I kept receiving “failed to read” so we determined it was a fake QR code.Ironically, the app they tell you to download works…just the app and the camera don’t work together.The delivery was prompt at least so kudos to Amazon, but I believe I was scammed.

This is the second camera I have bought from this company and while it may not have all the extras as more high end cameras, it was cheap and gets the job done. Would recommend for someone on a budget.

Seriously, I’m not great with tech, but the setup was a breeze. The app has a video guide built right in, and it walks you through every step. Had my camera connected to Wi-Fi in under 2 minutes. No confusing menus, just simple controls. Best user-friendly security cam ever!

This little cam is seriously compact - much smaller than a golf ball! The magnetic base makes install stupid easy - just slapped it onto my metal bookshelf with the magnetic base - took literally 2 seconds to install.

Recommendation:Do not purchase this unless you can connect it to power, or if you only need 30 to 45 minutes of recording time. The very small size and rotatable camera are a plus combined with the fact you can record w/out using the app. Below are my observations, comments and opinion. Your mileage may vary. Four stars on the app if I could rate it separately; however, two stars on the device. At $30 for the camera, I wanted to share my experience so that anyone looking had a detailed review to make their decision to buy or not.The Good:Very small with rotating camera. The App has a lot of configuration options, to include motion detection, turning off the status light, etc.. It is also cute.>>this smallest surveillance camera provides approximately 4 hours of continuous use.FALSE. I purchased two of these cameras and the best continuous use I had was 45 minutes. Beyond false, Absolutely False advertising. Just given the small size, it is obvious the built-in battery is also extremely small and thus not capable of what they claim. I've charged and used both several times, best time was 45 minutes. At one point, I thought I hit 1 hour; however I was't able to duplicate that result. Also, while there is no guidance in their app, I've tried several options and they make no difference on recording time.>>New buyers can activate free cloud storage—ask for detailsFALSE. There is nothing that mentions free could storage. They offer a limited $0.99 but the price scales up based on how long you want the cloud storage videos to be accessible. The $0.99 is for 1 day of cloud retrieval. Useless. They say "Ask for details"...WHERE? There is absolutely nothing that references "free cloud storage" for 1 year. The $0.99 leads into something like $4.99/month for 30 days of retrieval per device.>>No Wi-Fi RecordingTRUE. You don't need to use the App or have Wi-Fi. However, as mentioned above, expect at best 45 minutes of recording time. Just take it out of the box, charge it, put in storage card (Fat32 formatted) and turn it on and it starts automatically recording. For about 45 minutes. If you use the app, it will format the card for you.>>This wireless security camera features motion detection technologyTRUE. However, the camera is still fully powered on, so you'll only get about 45 minutes and notifications (if you are on Wi-Fi and set notifications on). Again, the settings in the app are very good, you can for example control the sensitivity and even detection areas. Not of that, including the video quality settings, however seem to increase the built in batter life. Expect at best 45 minutes.Notes:You can't turn the device off when charging. It just keeps recording when plugged in. So, if you need to toss it in your pocket and take it with you, make sure you power it off immediately after disconnecting from the charger. Otherwise, you're device will be drained before you try and use it.The default recording mode, which is configurable in the app, is to overwrite the previous videos.The included magnetic bracket is nice, as long as you have power to the camera. The charging cable is 1 Meter long, so that is helpful.The audio on both the cameras I purchased was horrible. The devices make some sort of electronic noise which disrupts the audio. Also, I played back videos using three different programs with same bad audio results.When you try to setup the device with the App, it asks you to scan the QR Code. Doesn't work, app says it can't scan it. However, on the plus side, you don't have to scan the QR code as it states you can do this via Blue-Tooth. Don't that got both my devices up and running fine.I have a 4,200 foot house with various lighting situations. On both of my devices, in addition to useless audio, there was a lot of purple hues in the video. There is a configuration option in the app, however, the settings I tried always resulted in purple video (and horrible audio).The entire point of such a small video camera, to some degree, is to be discrete. Having to have it plugged into a wall outlet or a power bank is the opposite of discrete.The recordings I believe were 5 minutes long. With motion detection enabled (requires app), the recordings to the TF card are recorded based on the motion detection settings. However, this doesn't change the 45 minutes or so "ON" time since the camera is fully powered the entire time. Writing the videos would obviously draw more power and thus reduce battery life; however, in my testing it didn't seem to extend the battery life to any noticeable degree.Storage capacity is irrelevant unless the device is plugged into a power source.

After using it for one time, it failed to work again, repeatedly scanned the QR code, it says failed to scan code, I used a different method using my wifi, it displays the QR code on my phone but still it cannot scan the code. This camera is a complete trash, useless. I have done it repeatedly, uninstall the application and re-install, nothing is working even if i reset the camera.

Set up was easy and fast. Camera detail could be slightly better but overall a good camera
