Not the best quality
This works well is easy to set up and get connected I just don’t think the picture quality is the best that could definitely be improved

Use as a baby monitor
The media could not be loaded.
So you scan the QR code in the instruction booklet to download their app and it walks you through the very simple setup. It took less than 5 minutes to get it going. There is no monitor that came with this product because your phone is the monitor. This is the very inexpensive way to have a baby monitor. You can pay three to ten times more money for a baby monitor and camera or this one that works with your phone. I specifically like this model because you can change where the camera is aimed on your phone from another room. It of course has sound as any baby monitor must have. I can shower while the baby is sleeping and hear if he cries. To be honest, that’s the main reason I ordered this and it works like a charm.

Glad to have this
This was easy to setup as far as user-friendly. This has made it much more stress free leaving my ups at home. I feel more secure having the ability to check in at any time or look back on the recorded footage. A great option when looking for an interior camera for your home.

Pretty good camera for the price
I was pleasantly surprised with this camera. I think this is a pretty good camera for the price. I was a little hesitant when I went to connect the camera to the wifi. I was worried the setup was going to be difficult.But the setup was simple. And I didn’t have any issues. The camera has an app the user can download on to their phone. So you can check the camera at any time from anywhere. I found the app to be user friendly. The camera is 1080p HD so the picture is good quality. It also has night vision which is always nice to have. And the 2 way audio is nice and crisp.. it’s actually a lot better quality than my other camera. The camera is touch screen so it’s simple to navigate. You can pan the camera in the which ever direction you’d like it to be. This camera gives you an option to either purchase a monthly Cloud subscription or use a SD card. The monthly subscription service keeps your data for a given period of time and you pay monthly. I chose to use an SD card because I didn’t want to pay for a monthly subscription. And the SD card keeps plenty of storage for my needs. Overall I think this is a pretty good camera especially for the price. And I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality camera at an affordable price.

Works fine – with a few minor gripes
Setup was pretty strait forward if you are used to these sorts of devices. Once connected to the app, it was super easy to pan and tilt the camera. For those who are wondering, the micro-SD card slot is under the lens. You just have to tilt the camera up to expose it. Would make a nice inside camera for keeping an eye on things, and the night vision works as expected. This little thing is dirt cheap too.Only 2 little gripes though. The night vision cutover can be adjusted, but not turned off. If you are planning on pointing this out a window, you won’t be able to avoid the IR reflections when it hits night time. The other little issue I had was with the SD card. Once it begins recording on the card, I was unable to get the card to read on my Windows PC. Put it back in the camera, and it’s fine, so it must have some proprietary formatting. Even formatting card on my PC, putting it in the camera, and then trying to read it on the PC again failed. This becomes an issue if your camera dies and you need to retrieve footage. I was able to replicate this using different cards, so keep that in mind.

Great video quality. Motion detection works even in the dark.
The media could not be loaded.
Very good quality on the 1080P camera as you can see in my video. The motion sensor works at least 30 ft if not more and the microphone and speaker work as stated. I have this by my back door and it alerts me on my phone to any alarm I set. Be it motion or sound or both.I did not sign up for the cloud storage as I use a TF card to record everything. One thing I did not like is that they do not tell you that you have to move the camera “Eyeball” up to access the card slot and there is a reset button there as well. The manual just has an arrow pointed to the front of the camera.One other thing is they state you can mount this on the ceiling which they include the plate and hardwarebut unless you have a plug up high the cord will not reach without an extension cord. I just see no use for that feature.The app works great and you can talk to the person and they can hear you very well.If you have the microphone settings up too high it will pick up a buzzing noise from the camera turning but there is no noise standing nearby.A very good unit and for the price it is very affordable.

Budget Camera with Good Features
Camera is pretty sturdy and can be optionally mounted to the wall with the included bracket. I didn’t really have a need to, as I like to move my cameras around constantly to see what our cats get into. Fortunately, I haven’t had to move this one around too much, since I can remotely pan the camera around to see more of the room. While it doesn’t seem to make any noise when moving, my cats definitely hear and stare when it moves.The supplied power brick that comes with the camera seems to have a bit of a electrical whine, but I was able to swap it for another I had and the noise stopped. It’s a bit strange but nothing detrimental to the functionality of the camera.Operating the camera from the app has been fully reliable with the 2 weeks of usage I have of it. I’ve never failed to connect to the camera yet, and it seems to connect very quickly when opening the app. The two-way audio works pretty well, but don’t expect studio level quality. It works well as-is.Last, the night vision is pretty good and was something I didn’t expect until the lights were turned off and I heard it click on. Everything was still pretty visible. Overall, I would say this is a great budget camera if you want to urgently get something without breaking the bank. Be sure to have a microSD card ready to store videos on however, as the app will keep bugging you about cloud storage if not.

Easy to install
The Earth&Me indoor camera has some good features for remote monitoring, but it also has some drawbacks that led me to give it a 3-star review.Pros:High-Quality Video: The 1080p Full HD resolution provides clear video recording and enhanced clarity, making it easy to identify details.Night Vision: The night vision feature is a plus, allowing for clear images even in low-light or dark conditions, which is important for 24/7 monitoring.Pan/Tilt: The pan and tilt feature is handy as it allows for a wider range of image capture without physically moving the entire camera.2-Way Audio: The two-way audio feature is a great addition, enabling users to both listen and speak remotely, which can be helpful for calming pets or communicating with family members.Cons:No Mention of Storage: The review does not mention whether the camera includes local or cloud storage for recorded footage. This is an important consideration for users who want to review past events.Mobile App Stability: There’s no information about the stability and reliability of the mobile app. A good camera is only as good as the app that controls it, so any issues with the app can affect the user experience.Price and Value: The review doesn’t discuss the price of the Earth&Me camera and whether it offers good value for the features it provides. Price can be a significant factor for potential buyers.Overall, while the Earth&Me indoor camera has some useful features like high-quality video, night vision, and two-way audio, the lack of information about storage and app stability, along with the absence of a discussion about its price and value, leaves room for improvement. Hence, I rated it 3 stars.

Tough to rate – Decent hardware w/bells & whistles. Hits me up for cloud storage w/o memory card
I’ve used a few camera set-ups before, but this has been the most frustrating so far. The initial set-up requires yet another app on my phone as each company like to have their own app instead of allowing different devices to share an app. (I tried adding it to other apps with no luck)Downloading and making a login account was standard and no problem. Fresh out of the box, the camera and app failed to connect and sync up with the provided network login info. I had to kill the app and go back in and do a manual add, which worked. Then, once camera and app started talking normally, I was prompted to login to view the stream – this is where my experience went sideways.Any other camera that has required a storage card has provided an SD card with the camera to get things going right away – this camera did not come with a microSD card. Instead, I believe they intend to make money off a subscription cloud storage solution. I did not have a spare card to test with, so I am waiting on one to arrive. Even a small and cheap 16GB card would have been sufficient for a user to get things started and, once impressed with the camera, to opt in to buying a cloud subscription. Instead, it is now just sitting on the shelf mocking me.The advertised features look pretty standard for most camera monitoring kits: good resolution, two-way audible communication, night vision, fully articulated movement through the app, and surface or wall mounting options. Once my card arrives, I will be able to assess the video storage and retrieval capabilites. More to come.

WiFi security camera
I like how easy this security camera was to setup and deploy. I like that the pan and tilt can be controlled remotely allowing you to see what is going on on with your pets and belongings.

uncertain how this will do long term, no free cloud storage
When I first went to install this app I was a little scared at how many negative reviews it had on google play. I took a deep breath and figured I’d give it a try anyway since I needed to write this review. It’s a free app, but doesn’t come with any storage, so all videos get stored on your phone. You can pay extra for cloud storage. I have a different company that doesn’t charge monthly rates for my outdoor cameras, but have been wanting an indoor camera for when I leave my dog home so I can talk to her. The app installed fine and hooked up to the camera with no problem. They have an option to record always or just when it senses motion. I chose the latter. I leave it unplugged most of the time so it’s not filling up my phone with videos of me walking around the house, but when I have it running, it seems to work fine. I’ve talked through it and that seems to work. I like my other brand much more.

The idea is good, but so far, no success with it. Will update.
This looked like a good idea. It arrived today, and it sure looks good! I downloaded the app easily enough, but it went south from there.Their app doesn’t want to work at all unless you give it all kinds of permissions. It wants all kinds of personal information, and the meager docs say it will search out everything you own whether you want to share those other devices or not. If you use facebook or google you are already sharing everything the app wants from you. If you worry about privacy, skip this one.I spent over an hour trying to get it set up. I failed. It couldn’t find MY WiFi, but it found my neighbor’s WiFi. Not having their password OR permission, I stopped right there. I am going to try to set it up using a different method tomorrow. Maybe that will work, but at this point it doesn’t look good.I may be back to give it 5 stars – or 1 star. Only time will tell!

Nice resolution
the quality and resolution is real nice on this camera. And the range is fantastic. The only problem I had was installing the app and connecting it. For some reason, it was way more complicated than it should’ve been. But all-in-all, it’s worth it.
