Mini cameras

A very good little camera. Recommended

This is exactly what I was looking for. Small size, the option to power it from a power bank, plus alerts and a preview on your phone from anywhere. There are also plenty of configuration options in the phone app. Of course, for the preview you need internet access on both devices. Cloud recording requires a paid subscription, but you can do without it and set recording to an SD card in the camera, or manually and remotely on your own phone after receiving an alert. On the downside, it unfortunately heats up a lot, and if the illuminating LEDs run for a long time at night, you can quickly drain a power bank, so it may not last the whole night.

All OK. Recommended

I'm surprised, because it works really well. The quality is in line with the price. I have it outside my flat, mounted on the front door frame — the door is burglar-proof, and the Wi-Fi modem is in the living room a dozen or so metres away. The camera doesn't lose signal; the only thing is that if it disconnects, to reconnect you have to open the door so the signal can reach it. The only thing is that the viewing angle could be a bit wider, or a fisheye. The recommended app is free, but it's paid if you want to store recordings in the cloud — maybe there are other free solutions, I don't know. I like the alarm in the camera and the option of a free live preview in the aforementioned app without having to take out the card.

Works flawlessly, recommended

I bought the camera over a month ago to watch my flat at night. The camera runs 12–15 hours every day, the online preview image is smooth, the sound is very clear, there's no interference and it doesn't drop the Wi-Fi connection like some people tell tall tales about. Maybe they have 10 Mb/s internet, so no wonder they lose connection. The only thing you can nitpick is the battery included in the set. No matter how long you charge it, it never reaches 100%; it usually shows 90 on the camera and then drops to 80 after a moment and goes down quite quickly. The battery doesn't even last 5 hours, even though it was stated the battery would work for up to 10 hours. I'll just add that the battery was tested with the camera preview off, so it should draw even less power, yet a max of 5 hours passed and the camera went offline because the battery died. A 20,000 mAh power bank solved the problem, thanks to which you can keep the camera on for even 4 days. You can pair the camera with a 128 GB memory card and there's no problem at all with recording. Motion detection works as it should, so the camera can record normally as soon as it detects any movement, without needlessly filling up memory with an empty image. One more note about the battery from the camera set: during preview and recording you can hear loud crackling all the time; with the power bank there's none of that. Despite the flimsy-looking cables, they aren't that bad and nothing comes loose — neither the cable with the Wi-Fi antenna nor the camera's ribbon. I did various "acrobatics" with this camera to disguise it and everything works as it should, no faults with the lens ribbon or the Wi-Fi antenna. To damage it easily, like someone wrote, you'd have to yank the cables like a monkey.
