Despite everything that bothers me, I will definitely buy another one because for the price, I probably won't find anything better.
nice picture
it sees quite far
affordable
easy assembly
good picture even at night
light and alarm
rather complex application, some functions are hard to find.
motion detection or boundary crossing alerts for every single car that drives past
I miss the option to save the camera's position of where it is looking
When patrolling, the camera gets out of alignment and then the monitoring zones it's supposed to guard don't match up.

Despite the negatives, I gradually bought two cameras. However, over time the flaws became so annoying that I prefer to move away from the brand.
Image quality, even in the dark
Good visibility in the dark
Easy installation and use with the app
To turn person detection notifications on and off, you have to go through a complicated process of clicking through the settings of each camera individually every time.
Even with a full signal, loading the image sometimes takes unbearably long
The pet filtering does not work very well. After being woken up several times by notifications triggered by a cat, a marten, a moth or a spider, I preferred to put the app on do not disturb mode at night.
Line crossing detection is excellent as a weather station. It triggers an alarm even because of heavy rain.

On the first day, it was showing pet detection, which is what I wanted, but from the second day onwards, even when the dogs were running around in front of the camera, the camera determined that there were no dogs there. This meant I had to go through every recording to find my dogs. I was on holiday for a week and just wanted to watch the dogs.

I’m absolutely delighted with the camera. Product support works absolutely brilliantly. It took me a while to fine-tune the settings, as I need night-time recordings without the camera disturbing the live target being monitored. It’s a joy to use the excellent app. I would definitely recommend this camera. The attached photo of the martens is heavily zoomed in and was taken at night from a distance of about 5 metres, using motion detection and infrared mode without any additional lighting.
Simply a brilliant camera
When motion detection is enabled, the camera in infrared mode highlights the detected object with a green box, making it easy to quickly find your way around the recording
I might appreciate more detailed instructions
If you want to record 24/7 over a longer period, you’ll need to get a high-quality micro SD card with plenty of storage capacity. approx. 1,500 to 2,500 CZK. But it's worth it. Or use cloud storage.
