across 5 reviews
3.5/5
mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Full 360-degree pan and 180-degree tilt with quiet motors and smooth motion tracking
  • Weatherproof design with ip65 rating allows outdoor installation
  • Color night vision delivers better low-light performance than earlier models
Reviewers push back
  • Short six-foot USB power cable with semi-proprietary plug limits placement options
  • Key AI detection features require ongoing subscription; free tier is stripped down
  • Only 1080p resolution at 20 frames per second in daytime, 15 at night
this is the only pan and tilt camera that I know of that has a 180° tilt
LifeHackster · best for Budget-conscious users who need pan-tilt tracking for indoor spaces or covered outdoor areas close to power outlets and are willing to pay a subscription for advanced detection.

I bought this little camera over a year ago to monitor my handicapped cat while at work. He has since passed but now I use it between work and home to monitor my office cats' feeding station and elderly house cat. It has been a godsend and the performance cannot be beat for the price. The clarity is 100% and night vision is amazingly good even in complete darkness. I do not use or need the payment Terri · chewy.com
