Great quality. It takes about 2-3 days to use all the battery depending on if there is more traffic or not. I also got the pet camera as well which is also great quality

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to install, simple to use.

2026-03-07    -BJ

I have an Abode home security system. I bought 3 indoor/outdoor cameras to be used outdoors with the package, but I mistakenly assumed the Abode I/O cameras were rechargeable battery-powered cameras like the Abode doorbell camera. Nope. They have to be connected by USB-C cable to an electrical outlet. I should've read the fine print.So, I needed an extra outdoor camera and decided to buy this one after reading multiple reviews. I believe I misplaced the instruction booklet after I first opened it, but no matter. There was a QR code to scan which took me to the Vico Home app download. The app has the installation instructions, but this is pretty simple to install.The Vico Home app also guides you through pairing the camera with your Wi-Fi and set up. I cannot say enough times how much easier it was to install this camera and connect it through the app than the Abode cameras and devices were. The Abode was a giant pain in the butt to connect devices through their app. Every device was a struggle, some devices didn't work, and others wouldn't work until they had firmware updates. Even then, it was still a slow process (up to half an hour) and took 3-5 attempts (one took over 10 attempts!) before it would work.This app is highly intuitive and simple to use (MUCH, MUCH SIMPLER THAN THE ABODE APP), and I had my camera connected and running within 3 minutes. I can delete unwanted video so much easier than Abode. It has a select all feature that allows you to delete all video clips at once. This camera has an alarm, and the notification that detects motion has a simple link to click to activate the alarm without having to search through the app to do so. Or, you can set your camera's alarm to go off for 5-10-15 seconds anytime motion is detected. You can talk to & hear the other person. You can even turn on a light to illuminate a dark area to record it to view live. You can set the camera to black and white mode but it will switch to color when the light is activated. Or you can leave it in color mode all the time. I leave one camera in B&W mode because the area is dark and you can't see it very well on live view without turning on the light when it is in color mode. That said, I prefer the color mode when recording people so it doesn't wash out their faces like B&W can do. The idea is to give the police good video of a burglar's face. It's hard to do that in B&W mode.My only complaint is the speaker on the camera isn't very loud so they may not hear you clearly through the camera when you speak. I would also prefer it be 5GHz-capable since I have two 5 GHz channels and only one 2.4 GHz. But it works well regardless.Overall, this is a great camera system and I plan to buy 3 more for all 4 sides of the house. I may update this review later to report on the camera battery life.UPDATE: I bought 4 more of these cameras for my home's exterior, plus an Allweviee PTZ camera here on Amazon that uses the same Vico Home app. I'm sure all these cameras come from the same factory in China. Anyway, I now have full coverage around my house.The Vico Home app had the PTZ controls for the camera as soon as I installed it. It also allows for multiple presets, so I can make the PTZ go where I want it in one tap.Ultimately, I would like to integrate all these cameras with the Abode system, if possible. I haven't yet played around with the Abode system enough to know if I can, although I doubt these cameras will integrate. Regardless, it still alerts me to the exterior motion around my house and does it more rapidly than my Abode doorbell camera does. I can activate the camera's alarm with the quick touch of a link in the app's motion detected notification. I can activate my home alarm remotely with the push of a button if needed, and it's monitored. The process is pretty seamless in spite of this camera being on a separate app.So far, the first camera I set up still shows a full charge 12 days later. My Abode doorbell cam is down to 81% during the same time. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase and I would recommend this to anyone.UPDATE 11/27/23: I'm still very satisfied with this camera. But I want anyone who reads this teview to know, the 2-way talk function is mostly useless. It's not just this camera; it's the same with most cameras I've used in my security system. The speakers are not loud enough, even on full volume, indoors or especially outdoors. If you saw a criminal on your camera and you called out to them, they likely won't hear you no matter how loudly you speak/yell into your phone. That feature is worthless. The siren is loud enough, but the speech function is not.

Great camera, especially for the price!

I got this on sale, but the full price point is pretty nice, too. I needed an inexpensive camera for an occasional specific situation (when someone is at the door while I'm working on the yard), so I didn't want to pay for a full security system or doorbell camera, since it wouldn't be used much.Turns out I'm using this camera way more than I expected because it is a great little device.Positive points:-Video is clear, with a wide viewing angle.-WiFi connectivity is reliable, and I can access the app from anywhere, which means I can also use this as a nanny cam for my pets, or as a Ring doorbell replacement when I'm expecting a package but I'm out running errands.-Two-way sound, so I can have conversations through the app.-Motion detection is great. I use the free version of the app, so I get notifications for any motion at all, but there's an option for an app subscription to get only smart notifications instead. I'd strongly recommend that if you're using the camera all the time so you don't get inundated with notifications on a windy day, haha.-There's an alarm that is obnoxious as heck, which is perfect if you're needing to scare something away from the camera area.-Battery charge seems to last a long time, though I haven't measured the specific length of time. Note that if you install this on a wall somewhere, you'll need to be able to easily USB charge it if you have the rechargeable version. The camera unscrews from the base pretty easily, so if it's in easy reach, you'll be good.-The company checked in with me to see if I was having any issues they could help with, totally unprompted, so customer service seems good, too.Overall, I'm super happy with this purchase. I know it's a bit of a gamble to buy inexpensive electronics online, so I hope this review helps anyone else mulling it over!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic camera for a low price

2025-12-28    -Katie

This is a really good camera for the price. It was easy to set up and install using the app, and you can share the live video with another person. The video is very clear and it also works well at night.

Ahora no se puede usar por los anuncios

2026-02-23    -Jacky

Al principio todo excelente muy bien, la batería dura mucho! Pero ahora no puedo ver las funciones porque los anuncios obstruyen los íconos y por fuerza te quieren obligar para poder usar la aplicación. Así que mejor busquen otras opciones

Satisfied with the product!

Excellent product and very user friendly app for using the cameras, good quality cameras and very nice picture quality, customer service from the company is very helpful and easy to deal with!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Blink or Ring

2026-02-10    -Madison Hubbs

These cameras are better than my old blink doorbell. I love that they're solar powered, so I don't have to change the batteries ever. They keep themselves charged. The app is easy to use and sends timely notifications. The nigh vision is pretty good as well. I appreciate that these are a one time buy, and not a subscription like Ring or Blink. Would absolutely recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clear video &easy setup, battery life could be better

2026-01-20    -My Art Wishes

I was pleasantly surprised by how simple this security camera was to set up. Being wireless made installation quick and hassle-free—no drilling or complicated wiring required. The video quality is impressively clear, both during the day and at night, which gives me peace of mind knowing I can rely on it to capture important details.The only drawback is the battery life. It drains faster than I expected, so I find myself recharging it more often than I’d like. If you don’t mind keeping up with frequent charging, this camera delivers excellent performance for the price.Overall, it’s a solid choice for anyone looking for a reliable, easy-to-install security camera with crisp video quality.

Envían algo chino

Llega algo completamente chino que corre en una app diferente. Encima de eso, tuve que esperar 1 mes para que llegaran. Fatal la experiencia.
