Set it up in 15 minutes.
I wanted this camera for my parents and they love it. I went over and set it up myself almost a week ago, setup took maybe around 15 minutes at most. I love that I can access this camera on the same app as my kids orb camera. I would suggest getting some screws with a hex head at a hardware store since standard phillips head screws like the ones it comes with are common and might make the camera easy to steal if someone tried. The angle can be changed by loosening both parts of the stand which I didn't realize at first. The video and sound lag a tad every now and then but from my understanding that that is to be expected from wifi cameras depending on connection strength and doesn't bother me at all since I know my parents have slower internet than mine and my netvue orb doesn't have this issue. I like knowing that the memory card slot is secured as well since a friends camera has it exposed, even if it difficult to reach I prefer netvue vigils design that keeps it safer. Overall I love this camera and want to buy another one. I highly recommend it.

Instant motion detection alerts!
These wifi outdoor cameras are one of my favorites. This being the second camera of this type that I have purchased I am pleasantly surprised with how well they operate. Installation does require having a power outlet nearby. Setting up the cameras to my Wi-Fi network was easy and the application used to view the cameras works extremely well.
Motion detection works great and alerts me instantly when there is movement within the selected view of the camera. I am also able to two way talk with visitors even when I am not home. I am able to share my cameras with other family members via the app. The 1st camera I purchased over 2 years ago as held up wonderfully. By adding a micro SD card to the camera I am able to play back video anytime. I like having a powered camera that way I do not have to worry about climbing ladders to recharge batteries or running a solar panel to them especially in dark areas that do not receive sunlight.

Great camera! Caught a neighborhood burglar!
Awesome little camera! We have 2 on our house. Front door facing driveway and the back of our house. Currently we have them synced to our Alexa and are able to view live video on a Kindle Fire 8. Installation was pretty straight forward. Hardest part was splicing then running a power connection through my attic. Other than that it was a cake walk. We added an additional SD card for loop recording. Customer service was good, as long as you use the “chat feature” online or in the app. The camera resolution and night vision are great. To improve night video we put a motion spotlight over shooting our driveway. We actually caught a neighborhood burglar going though cars on camera and submitted it to the local athourities which lead to an arrest. My only complaint would be the sensitivity to motion. The camera is photo sensitive, so any major changes to lighting, reflections from headlights or cloud cover will give you a notification. Most other cameras have this same issue though.

It is a nice Compact outdoor camera. Quality is Great both in day and night. It is compact enough not to hinder the house looks outside.

Works excellent! I'm really surprised at how good it works on my chicken coop.
Got it installed in a tree pointing on my chicken coop so I can watch over them. I must admit I really like it alot. It has a 2 way radio, night vision which works really well. I have it set so I get a notification at a set time from 11pm to 6pm so anything sets off the motion detection between them times it shows up on my phone. You can also zoom up on it but it goes a little blurry when you zoom far. The only real thing I wish was different is I wish it came with a longer power cord. I have it ran off a extension cord which isn't a permanent solution but works for now. I'm going to order a cord if they have one or bury the extension cord.

AWESOME System & Setup.
This camera and app are so easy to use!! The app is incredibly user friendly. I set both cameras up on the WiFi within 15 minutes. Mounting them took a little while only because I’m a perfectionist. This system is completely plug and play!! You can share video feeds with other users (example: my app home screen could show my home videos and the cameras set up at my mother’s). If you have an Alexa device with video capability, with the Netvue skill enabled all I have to say is “Alexa, show me the garage” and up pops my live feed!! With the motion detection activated you can set where in the field of view you want motion detected or not.

Quality camera, good app, new features being developed.
I did a lot of research on cameras, and didn't want to break the bank. There are certainly some high end cameras you could get for more money. For economy and quality, I chose the NetVUE Vigil.
Cloud: No cloud required! Add a memory card and view it remotely. My wife and I often do this at the same time WHILE IT IS STILL RECORDING. Other cameras can't record and view at the same time.

Great value for the price, had outside in rain/sun/cold/heat for 12+ months no prob
I have six or seven total cameras in/around my house, ranging from $40-100, and this one definitely gets the job done for not a lot. I paid $50 for this, liked it, and got one for my mother's house as well. Audio pickup is pretty good, getting someone speaking loudly up to about 20 feet, and the picture is clear and crisp, with only minimal delay. Controls/functionality/setup are not super-intuitive, but once you've played around for 10-30 minutes, you'll get it. If you want something with the same quality, but easier to setup/configure, you'll probably pay another $50-70, but in the end your post-setup experience will be the same. I put a 32GB microSD card in, and recording 24/7 it keeps about 7-9 days of video.

Good basic security camera.
I think this is a good basic security camera. The picture quality is very good, but like others have mentioned, take the time to calibrate the motion sensitivity so you're not getting alerts due to bugs flying by. Also, if you plan on using this over wifi only, do be aware that it only works with a 2.4GHz band. I'd also suggest testing your wifi strength before fully installing the camera so you can move it if necessary or get a range extender. Installation is pretty straightforward and I like they included a drill bit and guide if you need it. The multiple cords though might make it a little more difficult depending on how you're running the cords (and I wish the ethernet cable port had a cover if you're not using it).

A quality Webcam Worthy of NOTICE
I went through several iterations of the mini/spy cams thinking that smaller is better ... this is the quality product that works as soon as you easily connect it to the dependable server ... what a pleasant surprise! This is a newer release with the BLACK casing that in my photo shows just how INVISIBLE it is in my front porch. (expand to see the camera lens). The app lets you scan the product QR code for initial setup and to ID the WiFi connection! Cannot be any easier!! The 2-way voice communication capability is a superb bonus. Way-to-go Netvue.
I have one at my front door and anther on the back deck to monitor my deck cat while away.

Was looking for another outside security camera as the current one we had got moisture in it somehow. This is an excellent camera and the price was surprisingly affordable. Was easy to install. The night vision is superb. I love the feature of being able to erase all the pictures taken easily. The only thing I found wrong was it didn't come with a memory card. Luckily I had an extra one kicking around.

Great surveillance camera!
I just put up this little camera. So easy to install, and packaged with everything you need. Even a drill bit! The wifi was an easy set-up, as was downloading the app, scanning the code and making the camera work. The picture is amazing, and I like you can zoom in without distortion. SD card easy to install and it stores the video. The motion detection is alerting me and you can change the sensitivity. Overall, a very affordable and easy to install surveillance camera. And having sound is a nice bonus too! Buy one.

Great Deal for Outdoor Security!
I purchased two of these cameras after researching them. We wanted them for outdoor security by our doors, especially to prevent “Porch Pirates” stealing things. I am really pleased. They are hard-wired using Ethernet cable because I wanted to avoid being hacked, which seems to be an issue with Wi-Fi enabled.
The cameras were very easy to install and had all the tools and parts I needed to do so. When I hooked them up to my home intranet system, they engaged right-away utilizing the app I downloaded on my iPhone.

Great Camera.
I actually bought two of these cameras for outdoor use. One camera to cover the driveway/gate/garage area and the other to cover the front door area. All around good product and does what it says it does Within the first hour following installing the garage camera I had an unidentified vehicle enter my driveway while I was on the other side of the house and would not have known someone was there had I not had this camera. My biggest concern in purchasing these cameras was that I didn't know if the camera covering the driveway would have enough WiFi range to reach my WiFi router located clear across the other side of our single story house. I was not looking forward to having to run an ethernet cable from the camera to the router but thankfully this camera was able to wirelessly connect with my router with no problem! Connecting to my WiFi network was easy and there is not interference with other devices.

Works fune once setup but can be tough to get it up and running.
Finally getting these up and running. It is a complicated and time consuming task. The install cost given seems high but after going through it twice it seems reasonable. If you decide to do it yourself sit down and read through the instructions thoroughly before you start. First install the app on your phone and before you venture outside set your cameras up in front of your computer. You will need to be close to your router and have your router password ready. Also if you install sd cards you will need to format them before you head outside. You have to do everything twice so be prepared to take your time and be patient. It's a good idea to have someone to help with the outside install.

Great inexpensive cameras for basic home security.
After buying one camera on sale to test out, we were happy enough that we came back and bought two more. The setup is a bit of a process, but not much different than the other brands used for our home in the past. As long as you have a setup that allows for an outdoor outlet, these cameras work perfectly.
We previously had used a central hub system for our home security (With a station and HDD, as well as web viewing). For our relatively light need, we decided to try these instead. They have been up for over a month and I can say that they will get the job done for all but the most serious home security setups. Motion detection works great, and we always get alerts fast. The app allows multiple users to share cameras and it is pretty quick to pull up any video. There has been once or twice that we didn't get an alert during a particularly rainy/windy night, so I can't say it is flawless. There is an adjustment option for sensitivity.

Easy installation, great image!
Great quality product, feels heavy duty and solid. I love the image and the audio playback feature. Installation was super easy but initially activating it took about 30 min and I gave up for the night. Tried in the morning and only took 10 min! Love it! Bought one for the front and one for the backyard.

Such a nifty little camera and at a great price. So wonderful to have peace of mind that even when you are away from your home you have eyes and ears on the ground.
Works well on your phone and the talk back feature is excellent. I will be using it to tell the kids to behave!
Highly recommend
