This is really a great little camera. It was a breeze to setup and the voice prompts are a nice touch. The base of the camera has a magnet in it so it will stick nicely to any steel surface. The camera can also rotated on the base. In my case I used the included metal disk to attach it to the top of one of my motion sensors. One nice thing is that this version of the camera has a little pigtail ha Bob · wyze.com

Despite all the negative reviews on this product I actually like them. Everything was easy to set up even when I included 2 Solar panels to charge the cameras that where way out of reach I also bought 2 Proper mounting brackets for these 2 as I did not feel the magnetic mounts would be enough. These cameras have been working for more than three weeks now and are charged fully every day. I also use wally1123 · harveynorman.com.au
