I really want to like this purchase. But for a "security system", this is nothing but a very expensive camera with a lot of defects.
PRO: - Simple to set up. The setup steps is a little strange as you need to initialize the unit using a provided audible cable connect to your smart phone. - Very good camera. Excellence picture quality.
CON: Almost everything else. Here are some highlights: - Price: expensive . $2xx plus is too much for what offer. - Security Holes: 1. If you simply disconnect the power to an armed canary, no siren will sound. 2. Signal False alarms: camera is sensitive to light. As the day change to night and vice versa, an armed unit would send out false alarms as motion detected. 3. You have to manually set-off the siren . This probably because the unit usually send out false alarm.
- Live pictures display sometime very slow - Unreliable: Sometime the unit simply stops working and you have to go over the setup process again. - The unit is advertised as a smart system which would "learn" along the way. It did not (or may be I am not aware of its learning process !!!) For example: if you tag for the false alarms, the system did not learn that and still send out the same false alarms .
