After some issues with people breaking into my garage, I went through hundreds of different security cameras before finally deciding on these. I love them. They have solved every single issue I had. I also get to enjoy messing around with everyone in my house when they leave the house now.
Pros:
-Very easy to set up. It took me like maybe 10 minutes from the time I took them out of the box and mounted them outside.
-Picks up every movement outside.
-Good video quality
-Decently priced, especially on Prime / Black Friday
-Compatible with Amazon Echo products. (A big plus for me)
-You can speak to people through these just like a ring doorbell, etc
-If you mount one in a tree, you can observe the wildlife like I unintentionally do now
I also had an issue with UPS delivering mine to the wrong house, but Amazon quickly sent me a replacement. So that is also a plus!
Cons:
-Sometimes, motion is picked up as a person. Or, a squirrel (in my case) is often picked up as a person. This isn't a big deal, though, but something to consider.
-These are subscription-based cameras for the most part. It's nothing outrageous, though, and you can easily find prime/black friday deals that include a year subscription!
-I hesitated to buy these for too long. This is on me, though.

Night view isn’t the best as seen here but it does the job that I need. Really was the simplest to install and connect. Compared to other name brands I saved hundreds. Worth it for me as the day view looks pretty great and I’m able to quickly view my home from every angle.
Sound quality is fine and the microphone works well. Tested with my husband and even the camera that would’ve been 100ft out could be heard clearly. There was some delay but not terrible. If no delay is important to you this may be an issue.
