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.
