D-Link Indoor Security Camera 2 Way Audio, Pan & Tilt WiFi HD 1080p, Motion Detection, Night Vision, Record MicroSD (DCS-8525LH-US) (Renewed)

One of the best D-Link home cameras made, but is unfortunately discontinued. I now own 2 of this model and they both work flawlessly. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another from Amazon renewed.Pros:The picture quality is great in daylight, the motion detection is spot on and the 1080p cloud recordings work as expected. They are incredibly easy to setup; Open the D-Link app, choose Add Device and point your phone camera at the barcode on the bottom (which is too complex for some reviewers I guess).Cons:Camera looks are pretty dated. Night vision could be a little better.

I didn’t have any dislikes about the item, it works as I had expected. Just Carmen with Hughes for Security in My Home when I was away.

I have one of these in the bedroom to keep an eye on my handicapped wife. Added one in the hall to cover areas not visible by the other. This is a quite nice device. Pan tilt and zoom for about a hundred bucks. 1080p but I let it hang at 720 so as not to burn up too much data on the company devices. Anne fell a couple times. Took the time stamp from her phone call and did a look back. Cringe worthy! Watched her fallback against the padded rail of the waterbed, then grab her panic phone necklace and call me.

This is the second D-Link Indoor Security Camera that I have set upon the same network in my seasonal home. The space is an open "L shaped" floor plan, with volume space. The two cameras monitor all (4) of the main rooms (not bedrooms) including front and back doors. Installing the first camera was a little tricky, but it only took about 5 minutes to unbox and set up the second camera on the network. The high definition images are excellent and can easily be zoomed in on desired pictures.

Works well even in night vision. Nice that it tilts and pans.

This camera does not have a built-in web UI, and so it will not work with most local surveillance systems (i.e the kind people who really care about security). It only works with D-Link's cloud service, which is fine if you bought it to monitor the baby or the dog. But if you bought it to use in a security system, it's worthless. I have ben using D-Link cameras in surveillance systems for the last dozen years or so. Unfortunately they seem to be dropping direct access to their cameras, insisting you access via their cloud. Which means they are useless for surveillance because any decent burglar cuts off the internet before they go onto the property. (So cloud services are neutered.) I am returning the one I just received. (Yes, I should have done a better job at my due diligence.)

I bought two of these renewed certified camera by Amazon. One of them works as expected (recording and saving to motion sensed area) however the other does not record. So your chances of it working as expected are about 50/50. I did notice this issue at the beginning of my purchase. The one that doesn’t record the motion sense even when I’m in the area of motion still works as a view when I do look through the app, but that’s all it’s good for at this time. Hence 3 stars.

A screw was missing and though I bought two cameras, one didn't have power. Waiting to get this?resolved. But, I am very pleased with the working camera. Considering purchasing the outside cameras for my home.
