Packaging: the packaging is efficient and well-protected.

I ordered 2 of these cameras and both came as open-box items that had previously been returned.

But after reviewing all of the options available through the web interface i believe this camera would be an excellent option for people who dont have centralized recording with the addition of the microsd card

Another positive for this camera is it doesnt require any web browser plugins in order to see the cameras video in a web browser
