Good product
I've tried more expensive on and this one really gives me a better run for my money.The biggest issue is that you CANNOT access the content of your SDCard from a Mac computer or from the mobile app. It only works on Windows which IMHO could be a deal-breaker with many buyers.What I like about it- Sharp look- Picture quality- Easy to use mobile app- LAN SetupWhat could be improved- CANNOT access the content of your SDCard from a Mac computer or from the mobile app- The wireless setup didn't work very well for me. It took 3 times to...

Do not purchase! Camera moves on its own as if it were hacked
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I never write reviews, but I have never felt unsafe after buying a product. I bought this camera to check on my dog when I am gone for long hours at a time and be able to see which lights to turn on from a distance. The camera seems to be controlled by someone other than myself. It will rotate on its own. In this video I had flipped the camera to face Thw wall as I kept watching it swing from side to side and it made me uncomfortable. No one else has access to this camera. I do not feel safe.

Easy set up, good picture
I set this up at my 93 year old mother's house. She's 600 miles away from us in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The set up was pretty easy considering how low tech I am. I did need to upgrade her incredibly slow internet connection, which was one step above dial-up, to get it to work properly. The video is a little jerky but that could be because of her old router. The phone company is going to upgrade that next time they're out in her neighborhood. The audio works but again, not real well. Just need to speak clearly, loudly, slowly and briefly. This may because I had to set it up across the room from her, and she's a little hard of hearing. I initially hardwired it to the old router with an ethernet cable, and I've just left it like that.I really can't express how wonderful it is to keep an eye on my mom. My siblings are in on it, too! We can see all the healthcare folks coming in and out, watch mom, say, Hi, good morning and good night. It's been very reassuring to all of us!

My dogs are very boring
Who would thought the very first night I had it I needed it? My basset ran after some deer right when I had to leave for work that night, well I couldnt wait so I left my house door open for her and left..2 hours later while sitting at work I was able to what her trot back into the house. Huge relief.Pros: it works, it has decent picture quality once it sits still and focuses, the night vision works flawlessly and being able to pan it remotely is cool...albeit it's very laggyCons: as stated, pan feature is very laggy and sometimes non working, just have ti restart the app and it should work again. The voice feature pretty bad...I can essentially "make a noise" to get my dogs attention but not much is discernable. The alarm almost never works and the motion detection constantly goes off with nothing happening, had to turn that off.But it does what I wanted it to...just want to see what my dogs do when I'm gone, and the answer is nothing. It's very boring lol

If you like your Wyze Cam Pan, you will Love the Conico
I downgraded from 5 star to 2 star for several reasons that have cropped up over the short period of ownership.1. the app has problems with audio (won't stay connected when using headphones, sound quality of recorded audio and live audio is too low to hear. Note the sound of two way communication is much improved to wyze cam as noted below). I reported this thinking it was a minor bug, but it has never been fixed.2. The performance of play back has degraded over time to the point that it's not worth waiting to watch the video.3. 1 out of 10 times connecting to the camera, I get a black screen, which I think is a problem with the camera switching to and from night mode automatically.Some features are still better than the wyze cam pan as mentioned in my initial review, but ultimately, I'm going back to Wyze and getting one of their newer cameras. When I subscribe to their service, the interface for reviewing events is much much more efficient.I have had the Wyze Cam Pan for over a year now; I don't subscribe to their service, but use an sd card in the camera. I decided to get a 2nd camera for a different room when I saw the video review on the Conico and decided to try it. I'm super happy with it; it does every thing my Wyze Cam Pan does better, and more. You can read about it's huge list of features, I want to share how it's an upgrade to my Wyze Cam Pan:1. Videos and motion tracking are not limited to 14 seconds (unless you subscribe to their cloud service)2. Sound quality is better both ways, but most importantly the sound I transmit from my iPhone doesn't come out the camera robotic or choppy. My dogs actually recognize my voice, and it doesn't scare them.3. The picture is crisper, and I have a choice on the quality of the recordings.4. There is less delay from the moment sound occurs to the moment I hear it from my phone. (less than 1 second vs 3 seconds)5. Motion recordings go to a handy calendar view and long videos are marked where there is activity.6. Rotating (panning) the camera is smooth and quiet.There are only a couple of things I would like different:1. I wish it had a magnetic bottom and I could stick it to any wall at any angle. (of course, it would need to detect the orientation and swap the recording perspective)2. I think the user interface for navigation and export of video could be better. If I find 15 seconds where the dogs did something funny, it should be simpler to export this small segment to the camera roll on my phone.3. Give it wheels and ears and let me navigate it around the room to find the dogs. (and of course it will need to be able to right itself when they knock it over).Seriously, I haven't seen another camera on the market at this price point with this much high quality functionality. Don't wait for it to have ears and wheels, it's VERY useful now!

Please do not purchase. ESPECIALLY if using with children.
DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA! Especially if you are planning to use it to monitor your children. Please do some research on Vimtag security before you do at least!!I thought this camera was great. Picture quality is awesome even at night. I could talk to my cat through it via my phone, and even hear her meow back. Then someone hacked into it. I noticed my camera move to my hallway and then back to me in my bed after owning it for 2 days I looked at the recordings while I was at work- my camera moved a whole bunch. This camera does not move on its own to follow motion. You must be logged in and swiping on the screen for the camera to move. I looked up Vimtag internet security and found out other people have experienced this hacking as well.

Hacked, no security
DO NOT BUY. Great camera at a good price, but we were hacked and had a terrifying experience. It's cheap for a reason. The company does nothing to protect your privacy.
