Sucks comes with hidden fees can't make them work without creating an account that they say is free but they instantly charged my card and my bank instantly stopped them

This is a tiny camera, but it has a lot of features. It is less than 2 inches tall! It recharges with a USB cable. You can add a micro USB card to store the images on. I prefer not to use cloud services, since my internet connection is intermittent. That is a problem if you want to use this camera for full time monitoring. I'm in a rural area and full time internet isn't easy to get here. I use a hotspot for internet. But, I got the chance to test this out on a satellite connection, which is faster.You do have to download the software to your phone. It's in the Google Play Store though. If you know how to scan a QR code, you can download it that way. Figuring out settings can be a bit confusing. I haven't set up a security camera before like this, so it took a bit to figure out.It works OK in low light conditions. I ran out the battery quickly. I think my cats running around kept triggering it too many times and ran down the battery. So, I think it needs to be set up somewhere that your pets won't be able to trigger it. If you are trying to monitor for human intruders, it's best not to get a bunch of videos of the cat or dog running around the house. So, I'd recommend sitting it on a bookshelf, or somewhere it would be triggered by someone as tall as a person not a pet. You get a small stand with it, but it's not a tripod. Just a small camera stand.In the box you get: the camera, user manual, the stand, a charging cable, and a SD card reader. It's a decent camera for the price. I don't use cloud storage, but the files can go directly to a SD card. The app was not difficult to download, but it took a little bit to fiddle with the settings to get them the way I wanted. I recommend it for a budget security camera.

Works Perfectly!!

Neat little camera, image quality is good, battery life did not come close to the 10 hours noted in the description. I did not try the length of standby time after the lack of normal run time. I got about 3 hours before the battery ran out. I did not have motion turned on, it was just live streaming. Setting up the camera had it issues as the app does require the use of various QR codes to get all the items working. Cloud storage is optional and I would not use it in any fashion.It does work, is a bit of a pain t set up and s bigger then the advertisement leads you to believe.I will most likely relegate this to a wired device instead of relying on its battery.Here is how I rate items:5 Stars = Exceeds all expectations, A definite buy! (Very Rare)4 Stars = Very good find, you should definitely give it a shot.3 Stars = It works and functions as advertised.2 Stars = A little scary, possibly OK, it may work out.1 Stars = Avoid this product, not worth the effort.

This camera has earned the title: Little giant. It is packed with features that one would never ordinarily expect in such a tiny form factor, and at such a price point. Unboxing and holding this Vidcastive Security Camera, one is struck by just how diminutive it is; it is a cube of 1.5 inches on every side. It is housed in a sturdy glossy black plastic case, with the telltale lens sticking out. Inside the box are also a USB-A to micro SD cable, a USB-A micro SD card reader, a 3M adhesive stand for mounting the camera just about anywhere and a 1/4 inch threaded mount. I opted to use it without the stand, for maximum invisibility.The standout features of this camera are: It can shoot 19 continuous hours of video, it can record on up to a 256 GB micro SD card, it is equipped with infrared sensors, it can shoot images in 4K, its AI can differentiate between humans and animals, etc.In operation: I always QR codes when they are supplied, as they take the guesswork out of the equation. The QR code is located on page 4 of the instructions manual. Scanning it sent me to the Google Play Store to download the device software, named 'O-KAM Pro.' Annoyingly, it required my email address to register. After I entered my email address, it sent me a verification code. After I entered the verification code, I was instructed to power on the device, which began blinking blue. The app requested that I reset the device, which I did. It found my WIFI, and I entered the password. Thereafter, the app generated a QR code and asked me to hold it a few inches away from the lens of the camera. The lens scanned the QR code, and my phone was connected to the device. I was given the option to name the camera.The software is fairly intuitive to use, although it is rather intimidating at first blush, as there are so many settings. Some minor quibbles: It does not have a magnetic base, as would have made sense to stick this compact device to any metallic or magnetic surface, it uses a USB-A to micro SD cable (which is dated) instead of a USB-A to USB-C cable and there appears to be no way to use it with Google Assistant (or Siri for Apple users).On the other hand, this device impresses with all of the previously described features. It grants users a three-day cloud looping without a subscription (and more with a subscription). The indicator light can be turned off, for more covert use. It offers the ability to use the device while it is charging. The owner can provide other people with a QR code, so that they can view the camera as well. It offers intelligent motion detection which can differentiate between humans and other animals. The volume of the microphone can be adjusted.N.B. This camera uses a micro SD card, not an SD card as advertised.
