I've owned more than 15 wireless IP cameras ranging from cheap to several hundred dollars going back to the early 2000's. I got this camera over a month ago. The video quality is fantastic and stands out from the other cameras I use, some of which cost more and boast similar specs. The wireless network reliability seems top notch. The IR light and night vision are also much better than the rest. The ability to manually set zoom from ultra wide angle to zoomed in on one spot makes this camera more versatile than most. The focus dial is a bit testy but this is not something you should need to adjust once you finish setting up. I'm about to order another one of these models and two B37s to upgrade older cameras that were never very good or reliable.The first thing that I noticed with this camera is it a heftier than most. Heavy and hard metal. If you're uncle Earl were going to build a camera in the garage from scrap metal, it might come out looking like this hefty device. It's neither negative or positive feedback. Rather this camera is physically not like the many smaller, lighter, plastic big brand or 3rd party no name cameras that are popular today. That can be good or bad depending on where you need to mount it.I don't use any of the software Microseven offers. I simply connect to network, find the IP address, and then have it stream and record on a Blue Iris DVR-like setup I have which instantly uploads motion triggered recordings to Google Cloud Storage and triggers emails in with a few snapshots to a Gmail label.The bottom line with this camera is top quality video and a lot of features for the price. A really good deal. And I'm usually a pretty critical reviewer.

I can't comment on reliability or even on camera or image quality - just couldn't get to that point.I've just purchased it and couldn't install it the way I planned. I have my own fileserver and wanted to set it up to record to that server. I installed their software on my personal computer and it really acted up. Most of the actions that I wanted to perform in that software resulted in it being locked as if there was a modal box hanging hidden in the background. I had to use Task manager in Windows to shut it down each time and restart. That was endless exercise.Also there is no any documentation. They have a bunch of videos on their website but videos is a good compliment to documentation but not a replacement for it. In fact, I think this is the first device, as far as I can remember, that has no documentation whatsoever. Literally. Any device of any complexity I ever owned had some sort of documentation - good or bad. This one has none. This is insane. I contacted their support and got pretty quick response but it was very cryptic and very partial. I asked for clarification and completeness and got no more response whatsoever. So basically I was stuck in installation and now in the process of returning it. Having issues there too but hope Amazon to resolve it.Finally. I think that design of this camera is pretty bad in terms of cabling. It has a massive dongle comprised of three cables:first one is a rounded connector for power cable with a standard plugsecond one is a reset button - seriously!!! - needed hopefully once in a blue moon and may be never and really should be done as a small button on the body of the camera itself;third one is a massive connector for Ethernet cable - needed only for initial setup, in my understanding - this camera is not powered via EthernetSo if you want to mount it to the wall and power it using a power cable with just two wires somehow - forget about it, unless you want to open the body of the camera and completely replace wires inside with the risk to break the whole thing and loose any warranty.

I absolutely love this camera! I'm dedicated to using Microseven because they have the best customer service of any technology company I've ever experienced. I've read some other reviews and people complain about their service and I just don't understand how this is even possible! Clearly these complainers have never bothered to reach out to Microseven! Not only do they have an email for support AND a phone number on their website, they have a button for QUICK SUPPORT, which I've been using for the past 10 years - anytime anything comes up - I hit the QUICK SUPPORT button and email them the Team Viewer password and they will login to my computer and fix any issue for me! The only issues I've ever encountered are with the fact that I have a 10 year old camera on the same network as my brand new cameras and the old camera needs to be configured on my router for dyndns. When my router dies, or comcast decides to change our routers, the new router needed to be reconfigured again for the 10 year old camera to stream remotely, but Microseven configured it for me for free, no questions asked! I know several other friends that purchase their cameras that also use this service so there isn't any way anyone can legitimately say they don't have excellent customer service if they actually reached out to them! With regard to this brand new camera, the 1080 Sony CMOS 3MP Wide Angle, it is by far the best camera I've ever used. It is so incredibly easily to set up! You don't even need any software on a computer if you don't want! I sent one to my sister so I can watch her view of the beach while I'm sitting at home in the snow storm :( She simply plugged it in- downloaded the app from Apple to her phone make sure you are signed into the wireless network that the camera is on and hit "search." The app will find the camera and then you just name the camera and "Whala!" You're done! If you want to share your cam with others, you just give the cam id and pin and they install the app or you can stream on the Microseven Website and give them the link. If you have multiple cameras like me, you can install the software on your computer -- it is just as easy -- you hit "search", the new camera will pop up, you hit "add" then name it and "Whala!" This camera is awesome because the microphone and speaker are so cool, you can remotely talk to whomever is on the other end! The image is crystal clear and the sound is even better! The icing on the cake is that they have a Microseven app that works with Alexa so you can just say to Alexa, "Stream the font door cam" and she will pull up your camera. I couldn't love this company any more! I have a friend that pays a fortune for Xfinity home monitoring and every time I go to her house her cameras are out - they are never working and even on the odd chance that they are, there is no intercom or speaker on them, they don't record or stream, they don't have a phone app, no Alexa and there is a monthly monitoring fee! We get all of this for a fraction of the price!!!! It is almost too good to be true!
