Camera itself is good and setup was fairly easy, but the twisty bottom and springy screw holding in place is quite a challenge.

Price


Even if not, they are a good value overall since they are so easy to install and the batteries last so long.


99 last october and now 8 months it is $50.

I do not see that the camera has improved that much and certainly the cost of living has not gone up that much especially when ...  Read More

This feature has come in handy when i've had delivery people at my door or when i've needed to scare off potential intruders.

    And then when you do succeed in getting bottom off you place battery in and then replace bottom


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Omg its a pain to line it up and get it connected again

    Also these batteries take 810 hours to charge so that is silly in this day and age


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
