Pros

Camera is well-constructed and easy to control from the smartphone app. Degree wide angle view is incredible. Good and clear picture, also good night view picture.

With the web browser mor details can be set. Ipcamviewer has the advantage, that you can activate https (ssl) these cameras are very sophisticated with many options for customization of performance.

    Its quite a shame because the form factor is perfect for my situation well about is good as it can be anyway it sits in a window along other knickknacks so i dont want something large an bulky
