I picked this up to use for monitoring our dogs while we are out of the house. Here’s the deal: it’s a decent camera, the cord is short (keep that in mind for power source), it’s not something I’d use as a “security” camera system. This is a monitoring camera mainly set up for in home use, baby monitoring, pet monitoring, etc. For these, (and our case) it works good. We can check in on the pups when we need to make sure they’re not getting into trouble. Overall, the quality is good, the price is really good, and it’s thus far working for us. I hope this helps you!
