I foster dogs and got this camera to watch them when I'm out of the house. It's really great for my needs. I put it on my mantle in my living room and the view is pretty wide so I can see the whole room. I have an iphone and nexus7 and it works on both. I setup the notifications and was getting them every few minutes when the dogs moved, so I stopped using it but it seemed to work really well.The only reason I'm giving it a 4 not a 5 is the audio could be better.

I give this more of a 3 1/2 stars...I recently began looking into home video surveillance and home automation and acquired some products from a different manufacturer that lets you control video, thermostats, doors, lights, etc.. through a smartphone. My issue with that set of products is the need for monthly subscription to use it as well as the high prices of the components. I was very excited when I got the opportunity to try the Belkin video camera as it was cheaper and does not require a monthly subscription. Sure, it doesn't have all the home automation features that the other system has but I was more concerned with the video monitoring anyway. Overall I am pleased with how it works but there is definitely room for improvement.Getting the camera up and running was actually quite easy and did not require me to hook it up to a computer or my home router. I simply connected it to my phone as a wifi connection, followed the instructions and then flipped a switch on the back of the camera to go into video mode. The app I downloaded to control it was for my Iphone 4S. Initially, when the first picture came up I was terribly disappointed in the quality. It looked like complete haze. That's when I realized that the box had been outside for a while and the lens was simply covered in fog. I wiped it down and it looked much better.The video quality while viewing it over a wi-fi network on my Iphone was very good. The camera angle is very wide so I can get a good portion of my first floor including my front door. You can modify the quality of the video through the app so if you have less bandwidth, it will send a lower quality stream. However, even at its best quality, its only 640x480. Over a 3G connection, I had to manually turn down the video quality in order for it to be displayed but I didn't really notice much of a degradation in quality. Guessing it's because the iphone screen is so small that it really doesn't matter.Here are the things I like about the camera1. Cheaper than others I looked at. Compared to the Nexia line of cameras, this is priced much better2. No subscription required to use it3. Quality is about as good as the Nexia ones I use4. Night vision is pretty good. All black and white but pretty clear5. Sound!!!! Yes, this has the ability to stream audio as well which my nexia camera does not6. Recording to the Iphone rather than some cloud server that limits your space7. Like my more expensive solution, this does e-mail alerts based on motionHere are the things that can be improved1. The video is severely delayed and choppy. This does not produce "real time" video like the nexia and seems to only capture a frame or two every few seconds regardless of what type of connection I am on2. Manual adjustment is annoying. This seems like it could be an easy update to the app to allow the app to automatically adjust the quality settings when bandwidth is limited. Waiting for a a minute or two and then getting a "sorry" message is annoying. Please build in auto adjust for this.3. Load times can be long compared to other camera I have.Like I said, more of a 3 and a half stars with the ability for this to be a 4 star if they can improve the video fps and the bandwidth detection. If those can be addressed either in software or a newer camera, this could be my solution for video surveillance around my house. Will be a lot cheaper than paying a monthly fee for something that does the same thing!

I was looking for a simple camera for home security purpose, I am a simple user, I just want something easy to set up and easy to use.This Camera fits the bill. Originally, I was having a problem in set up. Came to find out, It was due to the slowness of my DSL, (you got what you pay for in sellecting Verizon). After a few click to adjust the resolution, it worked fine.I have tested it for two days, day and night, both works really well. I only want to take a look a look at my home and see if my kids are okay, This satifies my need. I am not looking for a 24/7 security system, but something that I can click on my cell phone and instantly checking on my kids and make sure they are okay.The wide angle pretty much covers my living room when I place the camera at the corner, which by the way blends well with my fixtures. Nothing sticks out like a sore thumb.Night visions works well as it continues to allow me to check up on my kids while I am driving home and got stuck in the freeway. It is this peace of mind that I was looking for and this simple camera gives me just that.
