Client Evaluations
There are 3 sets that are almost identical, and differ only in the kind of camera: this one particular (hidden camera), the outdoor starter kit, and the indoor starter kid. for way more comprehensive critiques, appear at those other kits as well.
As for my opinion, this set does what it says it does in a fairly seamless style: you install the software, plug the camera into the wall, plug a USB adapter into the wall and your pc, make some minor configuration adjustments and you are all set. I have no doubt we could have gotten a better system cheaper but not one particular as seamlessly integrated.
We looked at various several systems and purchased this one particular instead due to the fact:
- most spy cams broadcast for Television...you then will need a Tv/VCR to record, or a separately bought adapter to make it function with your laptop or computer, and we weren't technically confident enough to want to decide to buy completely different pieces and figure out how to get them operating together
- some spy cams are self-recording (they include memory internally) but these tend to be pricey AND they limit how a lot you can record they will fill up if you do not clear them out regularly, and for our purposes that wasn't practical
- most "wireless" spy cams function on a WiFi wireless network, which is superb if you have a single, but we wanted this for use in a location we did not have wifi this 1 functions by transmitting over your residence or office electrical process.
- the expense of the system consists of a internet site you can set up to view your camera remotely (while if you have a firewall you are going to only be able to watch three minute pieces if the method can connect straight, which might call for configuring your router which some people today will come across daunting, you can watch continuously).
So, that stated, right here are some cons:
- only works on PCs, not macs
- 95% of the configuration is a piece of cake, but some aspects are confusing, like how to schedule alerts, and setting up for emailing alerts
- the program has a large number of functions that are in the system but you can't click on them -- they are there as advertisements for a "platinum" version of the computer software that costs $80 a year. It is annoying to have a screen complete of buttons you are not in a position to click, and to have advertising be such a prevalent portion of the interface
- this one is sort of petty, but it would be good of the clock that hides the camera had an alarm, considering that we had to get rid of a "actual" clock in place of this one
- the camera is fine for security, but the image is kind of strange - it appears to be infrared? Which implies the colors are bizarre. Reds turn yellow, greens and blues turn white. Which is in all probability fine for security purposes, but don't be expecting to get a high high quality video out of it
I've had this technique for about 2.5 years. General, I'd have to say its hit and miss. Somedays it operates, some days it does not. Which means the cams go offline a lot and you have to reset the cams, reboot your computer, or restart the command center. This takes place about when a week at least. And of course, this seems to occur when you truly want it (traveling, etc).
I've also had to replace two cameras following a year. WARRANTY is only very good for a year on these and they are expense! I have five cams in total. The buyer service staff is incredibly helpful but they only have a handful of tricks up their sleeves (reboot, restart, unplug). So handful of, I know them by heart. My newest camera hasn't worked ideal considering that I purchased it right here three weeks ago and now I am thinking about junking the entire set up. That stinks given that I've invested so much time and cash.
Word of assistance--just don't consider it will be maintenance free of charge. It's a lot of work to preserve it working, and you will often have to live with not just about every cam working effectively (particularly the spy cams--they give me the most trouble).
