-You need a power bank connected to the camera, otherwise it runs out of battery extremely soon.-You do not need a cloud plan: I put a 32GB SD card in, this way it records a video anytime a motion is detected. Works very well. Then via the app you can browse them by calendar day. No SD card, no good, it only takes a couple of screenshots.- You can select the area on a grid where you want the camera to _not_ detect motions (ex: you want to keep the tree leaves out)- You get notified on your phone with the alarm sound you choose when it detects a motion- You can even control it, monitor via internet (I guess the camera keeps a channel open to a server)- Easy to installNow the (not so) bad:I believe power went off and it went in bad state: no longer connected to wifi router, reset does not work. Just contacted customer support about it. Let's see.Update:Customer support was very helpful (thank you Alyssa) knowledgeable and technical. What turned to be an hardware issue got diagnosed and resolved in three days.Very satisfied and surprised for the level of support I got for the price of the camera!
