Great Pet Cam
Never though I would be someone who would buy a pet cam…until we adopted a Rescue Beagle who ended up being diagnosed as having severe separation/abandonment anxiety. Having a pet cam allowed us to leave him alone for short periods of time and try to get back when he started to freak out. A much better solution than crating him.This camera is great. It was easy to set up. The quick setup guide is short. Read it through before starting, so you understand the steps, then download the software and follow the prompts. Don’t try to wing it or second guess or over think it. If you do as I said, you will be surprised at how easily it sets up on your home network.Picture quality is amazing. There was a little lag when I tried to aim the pan and tilt manually if I was in full screen mode. It worked fine in portrait mode, so I’m guessing the lag was due to the rather low power processor in my phone. So I’m not going to take any stars off for that, since the fault could be at my end. And while the picture quality in full screen mode is really impressive, the smaller picture in portrait mode is very adequate.You may not even need to manually adjust tilt and pan as the automatic motion tracking is very good.The two-way intercom works well also. It was loud and clear enough to talk to the dog and get him to calm down a bit when he started to freak out.So far haven’t found any negatives to speak of. It wasn’t too long ago that cameras with all these features were I the $100 range. For everything you’re getting with this camera it’s a great value at this price.I would highly recommend it anyone who needs a pet/baby/indoor security camera.

Great camera for the price and amazon Alexa compatiable
Got the conico because I got one of their stationary cameras initially. The camera is good and fairly easy to setup. Their guide is better than their web site for quick answers refer to book for trouble shooting.- the app is called MIPC vs Conico- for for echo you will need to install the conico skill- for wifi make sure it’s 2.4Ghz also put Alexa on the same 2.4Ghz makes it easier.- with my asus router in my apartment no issues with my tp-link router in my home had issues.- make your 2.4Ghz is set to include B And most basic disable any advance features, and lock down the channel your using. Not sure what fixed the issue after this changes the cameras connected.

Great camera!
This is the second camera like this I have bought. Using it as a baby monitor with the night vision capability. This one is smaller, more attractive, has much better resolution and streams video more smoothly. The older one I have is only 720p and petty clunky looking by comparison. Either way, for the price you really can’t beat the value of these things. The app works well and the setup for this one was easier too using a QR code on your phone screen that the camera can scan instead of using a loud beepy sound.

Works as a baby monitor
I needed a monitor that would send me notifications if my 16 month old child woke up from a nap while I was working in the yard.It works! In the "notifications" section on the smart phone app I can have it send me an alert any time the child wakes up and makes noises. It will also motion detect. The camera can also be set to track the motion -- detecting and following the motion within it's movement range. Because of these detection options, I would consider using this camera for security purposes. I have thought of buying another one for monitoring my driveway at night for security purpose.It took about 30 min to set up, after carefully following the setup instructions. In the instructions there is a reference to ethernet network connection (which I ignored as I don't see an obvious way for that to happen out of the box... I suspect it may be possible to get a micro usb cord that converts/adapts to an ethernet wire for direct router connection, but there are no clear instructions for how to do this). Since the wifi connection works okay I am fine with that.Overall, this is a great value for what I paid for this camera. I am able to access the camera feed from the web via my online account (essentially making it a private web cam), but the "live" function only seems to give me still images when I "reload" the camera page. This might change if I paid for the cloud video storage subscription, but I don't need that at this time since I can connect through my LAN wifi. Since I mainly connect with the video feed via the app on my phone and my local wifi network, the only issue is if I go too far from the main house, the connection is only as good as my wifi router range -- if I get out of range of my wifi router (for example inside another building on the edge of the property), then the signal will drop from my smart phone. It will however reconnect again when I get back into the wifi range. I currently have my wifi router set to a lower signal strength, so I plan to set the router to a higher signal power for better range outside and I expect a longer range. I imagine I could connect to the video feed on the smart phone using the basic web site interface, but that would use digital data on my smart phone and I expect it would be laggy and slow. So I am sticking with the standard wifi phone app connection.One thing I really like is this product has live video with the local wifi connection using the phone app, so I can always check the app on my phone just to take a peek at the baby's room and visually check to see if he is asleep. There is at time stamp on the video feed so I can tell if the feed is current. This works well for what I need it to do. So far, so good!
