Pros

It is easy to set-up. The functionality is great. The app functions work well.

The 360 radius is helpful. The picture quality is very crisp and every other feature has worked well. Very decent image, very decent iphone app.



Cons

I returned this once because i thought it was faulty, but it's just that amcrest doesn't have full compatibility with all their...  Read More
