- more of a gadget than security camera
This product works pretty well if you can get it to work.The weakest part of this product is the on and off mechanism.Even if the camera looks like it working with the LED blinking upon motion sensing; the camera mechanism may not be functioning as a result nothing gets recorded.From experience the best way is to unplug device everytime you turn off the switch. Replug in the device and wait 30 seconds and then turn on the switch.This seems to work so far.

- Good idea, poorly executed
Bought the unit thinking it was a good idea which it is. Stand alone unit only needs power and saves all the images to an SD card.
The bad:
- only accepts up to 1 gb SD card. It takes too many pictures and will fill up the memory card in no time.
- battery only lasts 3-8 hours. So you would have to check on it often.
- Poor camera if object is in motion. Images are a blur, only very still items are in good quality.
- SD card sticks out of side. Anyone can see ... Read More

- Item as billed
Item works as advertised. it's not real good in low light, so as a security camera it would not be good unless lights are on at all times. We use it as a pet monitor to see if our cats are being "naughty"
Picture quality good, download of pictures easy.
Rating: - Only for low-traffic areas
I got the camera and installed it in 2 minutes. It definitely writes images to the SD card. The image is very clear. However, it saves one picture per second! That means it will fill up any card quickly. Even more, it saves all images to only one folder, and I found it limited to 10,000 images, which means 2 hours and 45 minutes only. Even worse, it doesn't save any timestamp on the pictures, so there's no way to tell when they were taken.
A good idea, but poorly implemented. If you could change ... Read More

- Macintosh no way!
Bought it, fired it up.Very excited to use it! But no way will it work on Macintosh.Unable to find any images on SD card even with data recovery software.Don't get sucked in Macintosh users!!!The product info does not tell you it won't work on Macintosh.You have to buy it like I did and then call customer support.No sympathy from them..., You are stuck!You would think it should work?All digital cameras work famously with Macs.Well, I found one that doesn't!!!!
