Pros and cons
The Picture Quality
The VGA resolution of the camera is below HD quality but gives a great crisp and clear footage, although zooming in would result in pixelated and undistinguishable images.
The Night Vision Capability
The night vision capability although suggests 12 meters, would be slightly compromised due to the lack in IR LEDs, although the room would still be visible. Is Simple to Install
The camera requires minimal installation time and is easy to set-up, although an Ethernet cable and some previous knowledge of IP addresses and basic routing is required for initial setup.
It has a Variety of Control Options

Honest review and opinion
While you can find other cameras in the marketplace that are similar to this, none of them can really compare to this price – this price is unbeatable. I find some people complaining about the installation being complicated, but this is expected if you have never installed a surveillance system before. Overall, the camera offers a good clear image, complete with motion detection and alerts that are sent via email. It is suitable for homeowners and office places to be placed indoor for general surveillance requirements but would not be suggested for advanced needs.
