Spy Camera Pen 1080P Hidden Camera Mini Small Portable Pocket Nanny Cam Baby Pen Camera with Video Recording Picture Taking and 75 Minutes Rechargeable Battery Life

I was interested in getting a camera that I could set in the window by my entryway that could handle everything that a static camera could do plus pan, tilt, rotate, zoom, and operate under low-light conditions. I have deliveries nearly every day and being somewhat bedridden from having a bad back, I can't always get up to answer the door so keeping an eye on my entryway is a convenience I really appreciate. This device has a 2-megapixel CCD chip that has nearly zero-lux light sensitivity but also incorporates 30 infrared LEDs to enhance the viewing in low-light. Motion tracking is an added plus but may become interesting as I'm adopting a kitten and we all know the trouble they can cause! The WiFi connection is only capable of utilizing 2.4 GHz but that isn't a huge issue unless you have a large number of "smart" devices cluttering your domicile as multiple addresses can often get a little confusing (First-World issues). An accessory SD card slot capable of storing up to 64GB is incorporated into the design as a useful feature. As far as image quality, it's nearly perfect and is easy to manipulate with the OPTJOY application. If you have any questions about its capabilities, I advise downloading it and checking out the available features as it's free. Overall I found this camera easy to manipulate and fun to play with and that means it will get used and that's what matters most. Will update this if I incur any issues worthy of comment.

I probably missed it in description or specifications somewhere but was disappointed to learn only one smart phone can be set up to use this camera. I was thinking both my wife and I would be able to use this camera to check in on our dog when out of house...

Pretty easy setup with QR labels to pair the phone with the camera. The picture quality is very nice with a wide angle and minor fish-eye distortion. The instructions are ok. You don’t really need them for setup since they provide a cheat-sheet but some of the advanced features could be better documented. The app works well but it (and the docs) are in a bit oddly written while translating between Chinese and English. The free cloud service doesn’t appear to work and is listed as “beta” in the docs... when I try to register the app says it will send an email confirmation for the account setup but it never comes. Though that was the biggest reason I got this particular camera, the main features are good enough that I’ll Stick with it. I would love to see an app for the Apple Watch and some of the info that was on the cheat-sheet (eg. the jpeg and mjpeg links) in the actual documentation since I didn’t keep the cheat-sheet, only the instruction manual.

This unit has to be a scam....or at least a big waste of time. I loved the idea, the look and the specs of this unit. Reviewers said it was installed "effortlessly", the handbook said "quick install" but it was anything but...... So what went wrong? Well, the instructions were vague - i'm not the dumbest guy in the world but there were many things i there I had trouble with. But with patience and determination I worked through them all and eventually resorted to youtube video instructions...to no avail. I was using a Samsung, all the bells and whistles during the system set up were eventually right on cue as each step was recognised but the last message was always "failed to bind"...what they are saying was the Camera was not recognised at the Cell phone end. The palava of the installation procedure was irritating. - surely there is a more robust set up procedure than what they were offering??I dug around in the reviews and eventually saw the long list of unhappy customers and they mostly had the same result as I got....nada, nothing, niet....So I sent an email to the supplier and got nothing back and that was sad. So I sent it back to China....

Bought two of these putting hope into finding a good pair of motion tracking/push notification cameras. At first the setup was not bad; however, there are a few problems.1. System allows “guest” to use camera but are only limited to visual/audio without the ability to control so with two phones, one can have the main controls while other can just video/audio.2. Formatting the SD cards and when checking the recording, nothing is recorded to the cameras yet the SD card is full. Plugged them into the computer and they’re empty. Turns out the camera wrote on the cards and I have to buy new ones.3. Motion tracking, when on, automatically reverts to a specific location. I have made necessary key points to use but system always wants to look and focus on the wall. I have attempted to walk by it and it budges, stops and goes back to the wall.I was hyped to see the market with motion tracking. So far it’s been a needle in a by hay stack for me to find the right one.

So far so good. This PTZ camera has "Move Tracking" nice.....Usually only found in much more expensive cameras. I placed it in my garage which only has a fair wifi signal and it works on the standard HD. A little choppy and slow on Full HD......as expected since the wifi signal is so weak. I placed it on my porch to test it for distance and night viewing of my suspicious neighbors and it alerted me of their activity at 2 AM and they were at least 150 feet from the camera, that's awesome. I can see this camera being great in the house to keep an eye on things and my dog while away. The app is pretty nice only wish they had a fast forward feature when reviewing recordings on the SD card. I have not tried to check the camera on my phone away from my wifi to see how it responds to my Verizon data plan......Hopefully I have no issues. If it continues to work like it is now I will be buying another one.

I like this camera great picture quality and motion tracking is great. I have it close to the front door so anyone that comes in it tracks them. Only down side is it doesn’t work with Alexa like everything else in my house.
