Pros & Cons
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.

Cons

Packaging/appearance
