Got this to spy on a naughty doggy
I bought this to spy on my extremely naughty dog. She will raid things and get into food and things on the counter and the trash while we are gone. What I love most about this is the 2 way sound so I can also yell at her. This has enabled me to be able to leave her out as I can give her corrections while she thinks we are gone and so she is finally learning to leave things alone and go at with her toys or sleep while we are gone. Picture is shockingly clear and also has a zoom. The video is in color and the speaker is very clear. The camera has the ability to not only zoom but to pan up and down and back and forth.

Cute little baby monitor
This tiny little elf is a cute 360 degree security camera which can be used as baby monitor. It has motion sensor which can detect and track the object in motion and alert immediately by sending a notification . It has good visibility at night time as well.Can install sd card up to 128gb to save HD/SD quality videos locally. You can even record from phone and save it in phone gallery directly.Setup is very simple, was able to setup in less than 2 mins. It supports only 2.4G WiFi band. My router has multiband on the same ssid, it was able to pair without any issues.It supports both Alexa and google, I can watch the video stream on my echo show directly. It has temperature sensor in built, can automate to sense the change in temperature and alert the user and record the video. Can interact with kid using two way audio.I highly recommend this product if someone is in market for baby monitor or pet monitor or security cam.

Impressive little unit
This is my first move into security cameras. I'm really impressed. I ended up buying this after looking at the Amazon Blink. I'm glad I went with this one. The motion capture is very good, and I like having the option of either local or cloud recording (which costs money). I love that I can be notified on my phone when the camera senses movement. Customer service has been very responsive, albeit in somewhat broken English (CS comes from China).You can set to record continuously, or only record motion-activated events. I only record events, and it meets my needs. The company told me the recording uses 0.3GB per hour, 7.2GB per day on the SD card. If your events aren't too long, the card will last a long time. Once the card is full, it starts recording over the oldest events.I first bought the white one, then bought the black one since I felt it was easier to "hide" in my particular application. I'm still happy to have an extra one just in case, and I set it up at home when we go away on trips. For this price it's worth having a spare.I don't use the night vision, but when I tested it, it seems to work fine. I'm using it indoors where someone would have to turn the light on to enter the space, so there's no need for night vision. But if you need it, it's there.A couple drawbacks: First, this camera does not work on a 5G network, so be sure you know what type of network you're using. Also, I've been getting some false alerts on my phone. It seems to be related to heat. When the room gets really warm, it appears some kind of re-focusing happens in the camera which it interprets as movement. Just a bit annoying, but I'd rather it's too sensitive than not sensitive enough.In my correspondence with the company, I asked about security. Here's the answer I got, if you're interested:"... the video data upload is transmitted using financial-grade encryption, which can be completed using a dynamic key. With the double encryption of data and channels, even if your user data is intercepted by hackers, you can’t play videos. In addition, the video stored on the SD card is encrypted, and you must log in to the account on the application to view the video stored on the SD card. In this way, even if the SD card is stolen, others cannot watch the video on the SD card. In addition, we will desensitize the collected data to prevent data leakage."That's all. If you need a small and inexpensive camera, I'd certainly recommend this one.

Excellent as baby monitor
I bought this to use as a baby monitor. It was simple to set up. It took all of 20 seconds to download the app and figure out how to use it. Runs on wifi. Picture quality is good and the notifications are useful. I like the portability of using it on my phone as opposed to a traditional baby monitor (convenient for chatting with the neighbors outside while baby sleeps inside since you would probably have your phone with you anyway). The camera is convenient to move around and there is a wide range of angles (it goes up and down in addition to left and right). There is sound (both ways) and you can take screenshots and video. There is even a “doorbell” which my older child accidently discovered. I’m sure there are more features but these are just what I have used so far.

Like it
So far the camera is excellent, the video and sound quality are good. It helps me watch my kids, who are always being mischievous ( reason why I got the camera in the first place). I'm able to move the camera around or have motion detection which means it will move to wherever it senses a motion, but I chose not to use that option because my kids move to much and it will drive the camera nuts lol.It has night vision which is also good quality.I also like that I can talk to to my kids and they can also talk back to me, so it makes it easier if they are doing something they aren't supposed to I can tell them to stop it thru the camera.

Great little device - would buy again
These little cameras, which we affectionately name Mono and Gary, are great! Set up was easy and the quality is really good. I can’t zoom in to see what someone is writing, but it’s good enough for me. App is also easy. Mono is installed at my home so I can make sure my two older kids are in class and Gary is at my parents so I can communicate with my son during the day. It does send movement notices often, so rather than turn it off, I just rotate the camera (remotely) to a position where it doesn’t detect movement. Sound is excellent and my kids can hear me talking to them. It’s one way audio, so sometimes what I hear gets cut off because it’s playing my voice at the other end due to a bit of a delay. Only thing I would like to request is web access. When I’m at my desk, it would be nice to have it there so I’m not looking at my phone when I’m at work.

Very good camera. Love the pan and tilt feature. Great quality video too.
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Nice little camera. It has full pan and tilt mode; meaning it can rotate left and right and up and down by swivelling on the base using the joystick in the app, you can control this via the app wirelessly anywhere in the world with no extra charge, as long it’s connected to the internet. Also you can download recorded footage from the memory card to your phone from anywhere in the world.I keep all my smart devices connected in the TuyaSmart app and this camera connected straight away by showing a QR code from phone to the camera. Then it was connected to my WiFi straight away and is working great. All the camera features are supported in the TuyaSmart app, including firmware updates, all settings, recording modes, playback and download videos straight to your phone. It’s great.The track feature is cool, it will detect movement and follow it automatically until the movement stops, then it will return to its original position.Great little camera to have in the house as the lens is super wide angle, or even pointing outside, it’s not waterproof so keep it indoors behind a window or under shelter. I’m using it in a purpose built shed for our two cats where they are staying temporarily until we can move into our new home. The building is outside in the garden and is about 30 meters away from the wireless router and it doesn’t suffer any signal problems at all, the WiFi range is brilliant.Image quality is amazing you can zoom in to the video and see fine detail, you only get full quality video if you download the footage from the SD card to a computer though, if you download it via the app from the camera / memory card it won’t be full quality and can jitter a bit. It does what it’s supposed to do. Is has many settings within the app like patrol mode, night vision mode can be set to on/off/auto, tracking mode, playback mode where you can view all the recordings from the memory card. You can set it to constantly record 24hrs a day and it will automatically overwrite old video when the memory card becomes full. I’ve got a 32gb memory card in the camera and it will record 5 days 24hrs a day before it starts to overwrite the earliest footage.Glad I bought this now, bargain price too.I’ve bought some more Littlelf cameras as I’m very happy with their build quality, image quality, available settings, WiFi signal, and their features.

Perfect for use as puppy monitor!
I use this to keep an eye on my puppy while I am away from the house and during the night. It's so quite and doesn't scare him at all! I can assure you that the night vision works amazingly well because we use it every night while our puppy sleeps in his crate. I love how you can talk over the app to calm down my puppy through the app. My partner also has installed the app on his phone so we can both watch him while we are away from home. The motion sensor in the camera alerts us when he is awake too. Its very easy to use and I would highly recommend for new mom - babies or fur babies!

Easy setup, great quality and two way sound
Wow, what a great little device, it’s like having a little robot Elf looking after your house, super easy to set up straight out of the box!!Just download the app, scan the QR code and it does it all for you... it even recognised it needed a firmware upgrade for use with Alexa...Connected to my wifi and performed a calibration on the camera and then that’s it... all set2 way talk is excellent and really useful if I’m in the office and need to speak to my wife in the house, I’ll be ordering a couple more for sure as it can run 4 I think form the same app.I was using a canary home camera, but this is miles better5 ⭐️ highly recommended

Good Value
I wanted to replace my old camera with similar features without breaking the bank.When it comes to these things i will try and be as helpful as possible as i always seem to get lots of questions.The size is quite deceiving as the quality of picture is good especially the night vision, what attracted me to this was the unlimited shares with family members.After quite a few installs and uninstalls as i wanted it on static and various mobile phones which i use as monitors from various rooms the signal stayed strong, you can actually go into the settings and it will tell you signal strength which was very good ie 3 running at the same time from bottom floor to 2nd floor still has me above 80% without seemingly affecting the quality or lag in moving the camera. Sensitivity at motion & human movement was good even at low and the notifications came through fast.There is no external antennae and the speaker is fairly loud and gives a fair approximation of your voice. HANDY when talking to the children and i liked how the plug and flat 1.5 mtr power wire can easily be replaced from most shopsAdding in additional users was a bit of a pain until i figured out the invite and keep them to the same household with various install videos and guides giving very good instruction so 5 stars there.For my purpose once i got the hang of it i was happy with the install, maybe customer service would make this easier but it might be me.Outside this my biggest issue was with the small low profile 4cm ish bracket which i liked until i had to hang it upside down, the screw is slightly off with the attachment thread so very fiddly at hight and even checking without the bracket this wasn't 100%. A bit of language it is as shown in picture not as secure as i would of liked but numerous movement show it to be holding on very well.For the average person i think this is a great deal , the add on to alexa and other devices is untested but depending on deals i might add the additional controls in with this mean i will probably add these in and update the review upon integration or if i add more of the same cameras to the network.For the value 5 starsFirst install 5 stars as it took only a few minutes with great instructionsAdditional installs 4.5 stars, a bit fiddlySound and video quality 5 starsSignal and size is 5 stars.Ability to upgrade to cloud/other users / other smart devices means i will get good use out of this and beats my other camera which was dearer.Annoying apects like the screw mean 4.5 stars overall although i did give 5If this helped then tell me as imnhoping I answered most of the questions before they were asked

Worth every penny!
This is a fantastic indoor wireless IP camera: it's very easy to set up and comes with clear instructions. The app in which you use to control the camera is excellent, user friendly and full of special features. The picture quality has exceeded my expectations, considering the price paid.The connection is very stable. I can move the cameras position on my iPhone simply by swiping my screen right/left/up/down as well as zoom in/out by pinching the screen. I can record, take screenshots, use the built-in two-way audio (mic/speaker) and the motion detector. I can take pictures, video recordings and access them on the app and save them on my phone, or use a SD card for storage. There is a cloud option too so records cannot be destroyed or stolen.The camera is small, compact and lightweight. The build quality is good and has a well thought out design. The picture quality in day/night mode is very clear. I like the extra function of having a call button on the monitor which calls through to the app on my phone. It’s compatible with Alexa and works really well. I’m very impressed by how good the motion detection and real time alerts are. I also have the option to add more cameras at a later date and view them all on the appOverall, I'm really happy with this clever gadget, gives me peace of mind that I can monitor my home from virtually anywhere. I like that multiple users can download the app, should you want family or friends to have access and monitor while you’re away. It would make a great baby monitor too!
