Performance:easy set up Image Quality:crisp and clear Fully functional after set up. It’s a good product with friendly UI from the company. Easy to set up wirelessly. Would recommend getting the E1 Pro > E1 as the image quality is worth the slightly higher price. E1 has basic functionality. Thanks seller for quick shipping and good price. shopee.com.my
