The basic set up is pretty easy and the camera works... but! It's pretty mediocre at best. The image quality is poor, if someone is moving then you just get a blurred image. So someone robbing your house will need to stand still in front of the camera to get just an average image (which I wouldn't like to use in court!). The alarm also seems spasmodic, sometimes it will trigger at the slightest thing other times I can walk by the camera and nothing. Playing around with the trigger sensitivity makes little difference.
I've tried two remote companies so far with no luck. I've spent over 12 hours trying to get remote access to work (back and forth with both companies supplying just the basic info such as forwarding ports).
I have no idea how the supposed many people here have managed to wax lyrical about these cameras (and the level and length of detail they go into is odd for a review!). These are fine if you want the most very basic of cameras (NOT for security!) to just keep an eye on a room. For security, remote access, phone access, go elsewhere - these just are not up to the job.
