App and Camera both fail
Bought this for a test unit. The requirements were pretty basic: must be moveable (hence WiFi), must have day/night vision and must be reliable. Sadly to say, this camera only managed to meet half of one of the requirements (it was pretty good image in daylight/fully-lit rooms), but failed the rest.Issues (listed as encountered):1 - camera test movement generated a noticeable grinding sound along with a noticeable electric motor sound. Not a deal-breaker, but I am used to silent movement from network IP cameras, so this was kind of a disappointment. Of note is that it gets 'stuck' on both horizontal and vertical movement testing, generating a plastic-gear-being-ground sound until it resets.2- Camera set up was only capable through an app on a smart phone - could not be found or interacted with through regular network means (including browsers, PuTTY/TTY, PVR software, DVR virtual controllers or even basic network cmd like Ping). This was another disappointment, but not entirely unexpected, given the specs and reviews, and so it was again not a deal-breaker.3 - App issues. This camera appears to only communicate with the Jawa app. This app is listed as trusted by Play Store and Apple Store, but both show very low reviews of it. Once I installed it, I began to understand why. The App wants far too many permissions for what it is - why does it 'need' to manage my calls, access my address book, Location, app folders, pictures, downloads, stored payment info, etc? I always use an android phone with no SIM, no service and nothing added except for Wifi connection to test network for evaluations of new equipment, and this was no different. Nothing set up on the phone but a shell Google account used just for that. The app downloaded and installed, wanted permission to everything, so I granted it in this case (nothing on the phone) but would never give it that permission range on my personal phone or ANY phone. App was presentable, but had several small issues with grammar, menus and stability (running on a Nokia phone with Android 8 on it from the manu).4 - Camera issues pt. 2 - The app is used to provision and bind the IP camera to the network and app. The program does this through audio signalling, much like the old dial-up modems, if anyone remembers using those. After twice failing, it managed to get connected to the camera, and I began basic testing on the test bench. Movement was jerky and response ratios were atrocious, but again, for what it was being considered for, acceptable. Picture quality was better than I expected in the brightly-lit room, and the camera could (sort of) track large movement more or less reliably. It was noisy and jerky, to be sure, but seemed to work at least to minimum acceptable standard for the use it was being tested for.5 - app issues pt. 2 - Once I got the app up and running, and the camera functioning with the app, I tested the app by logging off and closing the app before opening it to see if it held the settings. Well, that was the plan. The app crashed, unable to log off. Tried to close it with Android, it destabilized the phone. It was the ONLY app running, mind you. Rebooted the phone, phone reported a file for an app had been corrupted and deleted during reboot. Sounded about right, and I figured the app would either fail to launch, or have lost all the settings. I was wrong about it failing to launch (it did), and about losing the settings (it remembered the camera), but it said the camera was offline. I checked LED indicators, it showed good. Here is where the problems began - couldn't deleted the camera (kept crashing the app), couldn't add camera as a second camera (already had MAC in app), app kept freezing. Ok, due diligence, I uninstalled the app, factory reset the phone, re-downloaded the app, and tried again. See next entry.6 - camera issues pt 3 - the app could not find any cameras. At all. Three attempts, three fails. I reset the camera per instruction. Attempted to rebind the camera - five attempts, then it said it was bound, but the camera was 'Offline'. Power cycled the camera, it did its dance and gave the 'ready' beep the instructions mentioned. Tried again. Still offline in app. Router showed camera MAC assigned valid IP and L2/3 connection. Ping worked from router, not from switch or computer on same network segment. Interesting. I tried manually assigning IP to camera by MAC, checked all mesh APs to make sure it was seen, and active (it was) and rebooting device. Continues below.7 - App/camera issues - After reboot of device, and reboot of phone, app managed to connect to camera again. But, it only showed a SINGLE IMAGE from the camera, changing it every 60 seconds. Movement cmds resulted in nothing more than a twitch, then nothing, then the camera doing its movement test again before returning to default position and STILL no change in picture. Rebooted camera, it showed offline. Tried to change the WiFi network to the backup network (Guest) in the app - it crashed the app and made the phone lock up. Hard reset the phone, power cycled the camera, deleted all MAC entries in the camera, booted the reserved path for it and the test phone in the APs, and tried again.8 - Camera issues pt 4 - camera would not bind. Five attempts, all fails with the message 'Network is unstable - try again later'. The network was not unstable, bandwidth, signal and gear all tested clear and stable. Still, due diligence, I set up my wifi test network on a separate 4G router with built in Wifi and tried again - no change.9 - app issues pt 3 - final attempt was to try the app on an iPad I keep around for just such occasions. Same pattern of events, app problems, camera problems, communication problems. After the fourth attempt, I felt I had done more than enough testing.Conclusion: this camera is either a lemon or there are issues with the firmware/hardware. The app is suspect and unstable in both Android and iOS, indicating a code problem with the app itself, which is a deal-breaker. The loss of connectivity to a network for no reason is a major deal-breaker. The camera and software lack any meaningful TS capabilities, which makes it useless for the role it was being considered.After thoughts: perhaps the app does not like current Android & iOS builds, and would work fine on older versions. Do not know, no longer care. If the camera and app work and are stable, they may be suitable for very narrow use profiles, but I would not trust them at all.

Reliable Camera After 2 Years
I bought this camera towards the end of 2019 as a way to check on my cat when I am gone overnight.The camera, while great now, was a pain to set up when I first got it. You have to download an app called Jawa and the camera will send a noise to the app to connect the two. For some reason it just wouldn't complete the setup process on the app even though I did everything correctly. I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but it might have been something having to do with setting the wifi to a lower setting.However, after many attempts the camera did start up. Ever since the camera has worked perfectly fine and I have not had to reconnect the camera and the app. I have had this for over two years now and it is still going strong. I typically only use it when I am gone for a whlie though so I cannot attest to how long it would work with everyday use.The camera has almost 360 degrees of motion when it comes to moving side to side. Up and down might be closer to 180 degrees of motion.The picture quality is somewhat choppy, but it is good enough that you can see everything for the most part. It does have night vision.The night vision is not too clear, but I can make out my cat in the dark, especially if his eyes shine in the camera.You can also speak through the app by holding down the microphone button and your voice will come out through the camera. It is a nice feature to have, but what I don't like about it is that 1) the sound is delayed and 2) you can hear yourself speaking. So basically you are listening to yourself say what you just said while you are still talking. My husband and I tried having a conversation where I was on the app and he talked to the camera. It kind of worked, except for the delay in sound and that unless he was close to the camera I couldn't hear him clearly.Overall, I am pretty satisfied with it. It has served its purpose as a way to check in on my cat while I am away.

Grandma Cam. Love it.
I bought this after my grandma ended up sitting on the floor for who knows how long, she didn't fall, she bent over to pick something up (probably the cat). I'm there everyday to visit and cook. She already has a Life Alert pendant... So I thought I'd try this. "Wow "is all I can say. ..I am a complete tech dork, and worried about hooking it up, but was able to marry it to my phone ( a $30.00 smart TracFone from CVS).I leave her at 9pm most nights, and am able to see her entire bedroom. It has the ability for an SD card, which I have no use of, as well as a motion detector (also don't need). I can take still shots from my phone, which I thing is amazing. The color during daylight is really sharp and clear. The night vision is in Black and white, and the picture is crisp and clear ( good pixels ?). I tried to talk to her through it, but her hearing isn't good enough to make out what I say, but I can hear her well. ( or the TV ) I get up a few times a night and check and make sure she's in bed. This product has given me peace of mind I haven't had before, and I love it. I've been using it for over a month now.

Bought for pet cam
My first security camera. I got this as a pet cam and I've been using it for 3 days now. I have 4 dogs & 2 cats & after one of my dogs got a mysterious bite I wanted to see what they were up to while I was at work. It took me a minute to figure out the pairing process. DOWNLOAD THE APP FIRST before you plug in the camera. I gave 4 stars because at the moment I can't figure out how to setup motion detect. But I'm so pleased with this camera that I'm buying a second one for inside & the same brand made for outside. Every feature works as described. I've attached a couple screen shots from the app. The camera was on night mode because the living room is dark. Also, the company sent me a voucher for a free 32G memory card. Don't buy one yet, wait for your free voucher.
