Excellent camera. No subscription service needed to access features. I love that it has the option to store data locally on a memory card, it does offer a cloud service via paid subscription if you prefer that (paid subscription includes other services) you can have it record 24/7 or only record certain events. The movement of the camera is nice and smooth. It's night vision works well. I haven't had any issues with the camera loosing Internet connection at all. Setting up was very easy. At this price point it's hard to beat. 10/10 Read more
I don't typically leave reviews, but this time it's warranted. I really like the cameras and a lot of the features they offer. First, the picture is very clear and you can set up a panoramic area where you can set up a specific location for the camera to toggle through. I also found the pan and tilt feature more useful than I was thinking it would be. It was easy to install and the app is user friendly. Another cool feature is the privacy mode, the lens rotate down. Lastly, I had to contact Auso for some assistance and was connected with Nicole. She was extremely helpful and took care of me immediately. Auso's customer service is outstanding and I don't come across many companies where customer service is a priority! Read more
I got these in the hopes of having a simple, unobtrusive camera to keep an eye on my elderly parents when I as out, or at work. These cameras were quite easy to set up and they connect well to our somewhat limited wifi in a rather standard size ranch home with a basement. One camera resides at one end of the house in the upstairs, and the other resides at the other end of the house in the basement. The "modem" (Verizon Hot Spot) sits at a mid-point in the upstairs area. The upstairs camera has never had any connection issues and the basement camera has only had very rare connection issues. Overall, the connectivity is solid. The cameras are nicely designed and, as I desired, unobtrusive enough that my rather particular about "things sitting around" mother (she's a little technically averse) hasn't complained about them at all. They don't take up much space at all, yet provide a very wide view which covers the full width of the upstairs open areas. I'd say they have about a 150° view, and the image is quite good. No, it's not going to look like your HDTV but it's a very clear color, or b/w, image. So if space and appearance are issues for you, these cameras are a great choice, and I think they come in both black and white to better suit your decor. The features are quite good and include zoom, color or b/w, easy setup and connectivity, on-board or cloud storage for stored video, remote control, multiple user connections with individually customizable settings, PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom), real-time audio with the ability to "page" someone in a the room with a camera, or to use the camera to "ring" someone's phone in another room. So it's a camera and a de facto intercom, which is great for when technically averse people keep not having their phone on them. lol Overall, these are great cameras which eve those not-so-techncualy-inclined can instal, utilize and customize, and at a very cost-effective price. The only occasional issue I've had is with the downstairs camera when it loses signal, which only seems to occur due to weak wifi signal or power outages, which then require little more than unplugging the camera adolusing it back in. It will need to go through it's boot-up routine after that, and you'll likely habe ti readjust it for the view you desire, but that's a about the worst of it. I've been quite pleased with them, especially for the price. Read more
A friend and I both needed room cams for pet monitoring and so we split the two pack offer on this camera. I absolutely love it; it does everything I need smoothly and very simply. It would've been a five star product for me but for one issue: after ten months of consistently great daily use, my unit lost it's wifi connection and would not reconnect. (My friend with the other Aosu cam has had absolutely no problems with her unit). I called Aosu's customer service and they were very pleasant and eager to help. They sent me a replacement camera right away at no charge. Do read on, though, because it turned out it's other qualities more than made up for that issue! For the few days before the new Aosu arrived I ordered another camera, one that had higher Amazon ratings and cost more. (Zumimall). The wifi fail had somewhat shaken my faith in Aosu, and I wanted a backup in case the new Aosu came with any issues. Holy cow what a reality check! I used the Zumimall for three or four days. By the end of the first day I was dying for the new Aosu's arrival because I like it *vastly* more. Like, night and day difference between the two cameras. The Aosu offers easy quick setup. It's picture quality is very clear with good light balance and it's a snap to zoom in and out to see more detail. The controls for panning it around the room are very fast and efficient. It has a good and simple timer schedule if you want it to operate only on specific days at specific times. ALL of it's aspects easily surpass the ease and quality of the other cam. The Aosu offers bells and whistles I don't need or use (event recording, cloud storage, motion detection, night view options....) all of which are great options to have on board. Based on the survey that came with my replacement Aosu, the company is quite serious about improving their cameras' capabilities still further. Best for me, it's clear that the company's aware of their pet monitoring customers; many of the survey questions were pet-alert specific. I *wish* I could give this product 5 stars; I'm very impressed with it's quality and with Aosu's great customer service. But I have to drop it down one for the loss of wifi on one of the two cameras. Having said that, I *still* recommend this camera enthusiastically. Read more
