Hmmm… that’s A LOT of 1 star reviews sorting it by newest first. The price is really cheap, but not if it breaks in a couple/few months. I guess that’s why it’s so cheap?
Okay then, click on the previous WOOT sales stats… Not a lot “wootboys” bought this, so I wouldn’t expect an overwhelming response from that group.
At $50 + tax and the internal memory can be upgraded (if you’re so skilled to disassemble the camera), I’m seriously considering buying the limit.
I am think about buying one of these to watch the fur kids while away from the house. The wife and I wonder what kind of shenanigans they get into while we are away. One time we came home to blood on the floor but none of them had wounds or were bleeding, and it wasn’t vomit. We think they attacked a ghost and it suffered the consequences.
That top critical review from Amazon seems to be fair and telling. If the functionality really doesn’t work well without paying for cloud storage, then I’m not really interested.
I haven’t personally used it, but Blueiris seems to get favorable reviews. It allows you to record video from these type cameras to a local PC or server.
I bought one of these previously on Woot. They upgraded the software and it totally bricked. I have contacted Zmodo several times to no effect. I would trust a Craigslist proctologist before I would trust this company.
It’s powered by 5v usb. Anyone know if a solar power can be used with the same power output? Need this in my COVERED patio and no electricity is nearby
