This is a great value and perfectly adequate camera for casual use. At $30, it packs a lot of useful features.Setup: Really easy. Camera can be set upright on any surface, or mounted to a wall. There is a tiny template for drilling/attaching/installing the small mounting piece. The camera is entirely controlled via the NetVue app. You need to create a NetVue account -- you can login w/Google or FB, or create a NetVue login. Following the included instructions, connection to Wifi was a snap. The app finds the camera, prompts the wifi/setup info, and you're instantly monitoring. You must be connected to the same wifi network.Controls: Very easy. The app includes a virtual 'pad' to rotate the camera side to side, and horizon to horizon. You can view in portrait or landscape mode. You can only rotate on one axis at a time, but you can get an entire 360 view around the camera. The middle button of the virtual pad will take a snapshot of the scene and save to the app. There may be some lag depending on your connection. In a good spot around my home, the camera is very responsive -- there is always going to be a *slight* delay since you are controlling and monitoring via your wifi network, but it's negligible if you're just focusing on one general area. By contrast, in a weaker part of my home, there is a significant delay, and some choppiness to the feed -- this is not an issue with the camera nor the app, as my phone loses and reconnects frequently in this area. Please keep that in mind if you're experiencing significant lag/choppiness. There is also a built-in speaker in the camera which you can speak through via the app.Quality: I want to stress that for $30, you should not expect super high resolution and smooth motion like you're watching a professional live television feed. You get a good, clear picture, real-time motion monitoring, and good screen captures. You can change between Standard Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD) modes, though the HD may be limited by your wifi speed/connection. Same goes for audio clarity through the speaker. WIth a good connection, you can hear what was said clearly.App: The app includes a *lot* of features and functionality. You can add an SD card to the camera to save recordings and replay via the app. There is also an option to use NetVue's cloud storage, which requires purchasing one of their cloud storage plans. There are links to a helpful forum, an FAQ, and contact information for support. There is Alexa integration. You can share device feed/controls with another NetVue user, set up a sleep mode schedule, and toggle night vision on/off.Night Vision & Motion Detection: Night Vision works very well. I tried in a dark room with some ambient lighting coming from another room, and the camera still broadcast a very clear b/w picture. It will switch automatically when it detects very low light. Motion Detection works great. The app will take a short video/screenshot of any motion it detects and then send a notice to your phone. Make sure you allow "Notifications" in the app itself (iPhone) in order to receive Motion alerts. You can limit to people, pets, vehicles, and many other choices, or simply detect "all" motions.Overall: Great little device for the price. Would work perfect as an indoor security cam, a baby monitor, a pet monitor, etc. I personally bought it to watch and get alerts on when the squirrels that live outside our place come by for a visit -- but, I would not recommend mounting and leaving this outdoors. It is not weather proof, and it is not meant for outdoor wear & tear. But, if you have a safe spot where you can mount and leave it, it will function just fine. The rotational motion is ideal for what we need, give the squirrels tend to walk right up to our door, or wait out on the ledge out front.UPDATED REVIEW: To those of you that couldn't connect to WiFi or stay connected, as was previously the case with myself using the Orb Mini Camera. I believe the problem is the directions, as they don't go in the order that the different events occur with the camera or don't relate to this specific camera period is what I've found. For example, when troubleshooting to connect during the initial setup process it advises to use the provided pin to insert it into the small WiFi reset button located on top of the camera right next to where you insert a micro sd card and it instructs to continue holding the pin in until you hear continuous music. That never happened for me after trying multiple times. However, I noticed when I was interrupted by someone speaking to me as I pushed the pin in and ALMOST immediately released rather than continuing to hold the pin in, then I did actually hear continuous music. So in other words, don't do a long press when inserting the pin to reset the WiFi or troubleshoot it. Simply insert until you feel the reset button definitely pushed the entire way in for like 1-2 seconds and then release. So that was 1 thing the directions were wrong about (unless my orb mini camera is defective and I'll know soon because I'm getting ready to install the 2nd one that I purchased that I was also getting ready to return). Another thing I noticed was the CLICKING sound that's a normal part of the process didn't actually happen as or when it indicated it should have but at a different time in the setup process. To be honest, only a few things matched in the order that the directions instructed, such as entering your WiFi name and password and showing the countdown as the camera tried connecting to it! I was that frustrated with it trying repeatedly to get it connected in an area of my home that I had excellent WiFi signal and no trouble on any of my other WiFi connected devices, and I even renamed the device, refreshed it several times, & deleted the device from the Netvue app a few times, and nothing seemed to work so I eventually just gave up, letting it sit where I was original going to install it (1 room away from the room my fios router sits in that I have located on the outside of a very tall desk, sitting on top of it so WiFi signal can travel freely throughout my home). However, several hours later, I glance at my phone after receiving notifications and Low & behold, in addition to the motion detection notifications for my 2 full sized orb cameras it finally showed the orb mini camera online showing me video footage. So then I immediately checked the settings to see what results it was showing in "WiFi Analysis" menu and it was like 80% or better for good WiFi signal. So this next part is VERY IMPORTANT, it showed in the Netvue app there was an available FIRMWARE UPDATE that needed done for the Mini Orb camera, but because previously I couldn't get the mini orb to stay connected to WiFi I was unable to complete the update. However, now that it was showing online several hours, allowing me to use the controls in the app to move the position of the camera, pan & tilt, and hear thru it (which by the way, the sound on the mini orb is AMAZING, much better than the full sized ORB cameras that the sound is all distorted and crackles, both on the camera itself and in the app), I decided to immediately complete the firmware update while it was still online and working properly. Since then its worked perfect. Morale of the story people (my shared experience), is DON'T give up. If you can even get it to connect to WiFi 1x and got thru most of the setup process (other than the firmware update), then just let it sit powered on for a few hours and then come back and see if it's working or check the app to see if you can view video from that camera. As mentioned earlier, I don't feel the directions for setting up the mini orbs are completely accurate, you just have to fool with the camera & app a bit and then possibly let it sit for a short while and things then seem to synchronize in a sense, it starts to work. I hope this helps some of you having WiFi connection issues because it really is a MIGHTY LITTLE CAMERA with excellent clarity for the video resolution & quality, and superb sound! Lastly, don't know if this will heal anything to any of you, but I am not subscribed to any of the Netvue security, motion detection, or human alert subscriptions, because I have found both services/features to work wonderful with the use of a San Disk 128 GB ultra micro sd card all on it's own. It allows me to go back they the video footage by date & time it using this timeline type feature that you can just swipe thru all time periods of video footage, it keys me share it via text, email, etc. I LOVE THESE CAMERAS and the fact this company doesn't try forcing you into using their online storage & security services like many other products would require. I have Xfinity home security service because it gets me a nice discount on home owners insurance, with 1 of their indoor cameras that goes for $199.99 and I can't do nearly the stuff I can with these cameras, such as moving the position of the camera, pan & tilt, zoom, and no audio....ORIGINAL REVIEW: Such a shame, guess you get what you pay for. Got this as a lightening deal and I thought the price was too good to be true. Also thought maybe the device itself was defective because I have 2 of the larger indoor Orb cameras and they work great, even 1 being at opposite end of my home as the router and on a different floor and it works great... So I bought a 2nd Orb mini camera few days ago just to make sure the 1st wasn't defective, but it was the same exact problems. Even the set up process didn't go in the order as the instructions advised. I'm returning both orb mini cameras, they're junk!Caméra Orb Cam 1080P de Netvue achetée le 26/07/19, reçue le 29 et installée le 29 à 18h.Bravo à Netvue et à Amazon pour la livraison express (moins de 48h).Ca commence mal : la caméra ne veut pas se connecter à mon réseau.Pas de panique, il y a un service de Chat qui me répond instantanément.Bravo Netvue. Possibilité de dialoguer en français mais comme je suis bilingue, j’utilise l’anglais car je suppose que le français n’est pas la première langue de Netvue.La technicienne me suggère de rebooter la cam et de suivre ses instructions et miracle ! quelques minutes après, tout fonctionne à merveille.Donc, je n'enlève pas d'étoile pour la « facilité d’installation » car le dépannage par Chat est fulgurant.Au niveau de la notice, je mets 5/5 : 5 langues dont le français intelligible. Ça nous change des autres fabricants où le français, s’il existe, est inintelligible.J’enlève un point car il n’y a pas d’explication au cas où il y aurait un problème de connexion. En même temps, ce n’est pas bien grave quand on a un service technique si compétent et diligent.Voilà pour l’intro. Passons au vif du sujet : la qualité de l’image et du son.Excellent 1080P : c’est largement suffisant pour voir en détail ce qui se passe dans une pièce de 15m2. Note 5/5Je trouve donc que c’est un bon compromis.On peut, si on le désire, descendre la qualité de l’image via l’application.Au niveau du son, cette caméra est bidirectionnelle et la qualité est cristalline. Note 5/5La détection de mouvement fonctionne très bien et on peut la paramétrer (zone de détection, temps de mouvement et sensibilité) pour affiner ce l’on désire. On reçoit sur l’app, des instantanés horodatés. Note 5/5On peut prendre des instantanés et des vidéos via l’app.On peut aussi lui adjoindre une micro SD si on veut. Je suppose que la caméra enregistre sans passer par l’app.Il y a la fonctionne vision nocturne que l’on peut paramétrer à souhait.La cam fait du pan/tilt (c-à-d que l’on peut, via l’app, la faire tourner verticalement et horizontalement).La réactivité du pan/tilt est bluffante. Note 5/5On peut la fixer à un mur ou à un plafond (possibilité, via l’application., de renverser la vue de 180°) ou simplement la poser sur un meuble.Chez moi, je l’ai fixée au plafond (sans pour autant utiliser le bras articulé joint dans le colis que je trouve un peu trop volumineux). J’ai donc collé un aimant à mon plafond et du métal au « cul » de ma caméra et le tour est joué.La caméra est fournie aussi avec le câble micro USB et le chargeur amovible (mieux que si ce n’était pas amovible).Ottimo prodotto, ottima app (Netvue, da scaricare da uno store gratis per Android e iOs), firmware da migliorare, ottime immagini."Senza filo": giusto per capirci, funziona via Wifi, ma richiede il cavo della corrente, NON funziona a batteria.Risoluzione: fate attenzione quando comprate a cosa scegliete: siete voi a scegliere tra 720 e 1080 e ( se disponibile) anche il coloreColore: io ho acquistato la 1080p tempo fa bianca (le foto sono di quella), ma riordinandola pochi giorni fa era disponbile solo nera e mi è arrivata nera. Ripeto: Fate attenzione quando ordinate, Amazon vi fa scegliere il modello e il colore!Comando remoto: potete giarla circa sui 360 gradi su tutti e tre gli assi da remoto. Il motorino è abbastanza silenzioso.Esterno: NO NO NO. Non va bene per l'esterno !!!!Wifi: compatibile SOLO CON 2.4Ggz.. Nota bene: se avete una rete mista, dovete PRIMA disattivare il wifi a 5Ghz, completare l'abbinamento e solo DOPO riattivare il 5Ghz altrimenti l'abbinamento non riesce; a mio parere è un brutto difetto nel 2019, ma superato questo scoglio non vedo altri difetti.Registrazione: registra video dall'app; a parte e a pagamento c'è un servizio cloud per la registrazione avanzataScheda SD: non inclusa, presente uno slot per microSd, formattatela fat32 !!!! Dimensione massima supportata: 128 GB. Alcuni utenti nei commenti segnalao che è possibile usarla per registrare e poi la webcam invia al cloud; ripeto però che non ho sperimentato personalmente la cosa.Ftp/Nas: no, non potete salvare su ftp o nasDimensione: siamo sui 10 x 10 x 12 cm, scarsi.Connettività: nascendo per il controllo remoto, se non avete connettività in casa NON ha alcun senso prenderla, però è anche vero che è dotata di uno slot per scheda microSD. Non mi è chiarissimo cosa permetta però, scusateScreenshot: dall'app si possono catturare gli screenshot.Alexa: La telecamera si collega con Alexa, tramite Alexa puoi vedere le immagini sul display dell'echo spot, assegnandole un nome tipo "cucina", puoi chiedere ad alexa: "fammi vedere chi c'è in cucina" ed avrai le immagini della cucina ul display di echo spot ; potete anche accenderla o spegnerla via AlexaGoogle Home: NON compatibileOnvif: Non funziona con Onvif. Spiacente.Fissaggio: si può fissare a soffitto, ha una staffa regolabile; inoltre il corpo della telecamera gira quasi di 360 gradi, in questo modo si ha la quasi totale disponibilità di posizione e movimento.Immagini sottosopra: accedete all'app Netvue, dalle impostazioni della telecamera si può specchiarla, sottosopra appunto; se nell'app non vedete questa opzione, attendente qualche minuto, perchè appena la telecamera si autoaggiorna, allora appariranno molte altre opzioniAlimentazione: ha un cavo usb, ed è incluso nella confezione un metro o poco più di cavo e il suo alimentatore; tenete conto quindi della lunghezza del cavo nel decidere dove e come installarla; ovviamente potete prendere a parte 10metri di cavo usb e collegarla dove volete, invece di usare una prolunga elettrica. Il caricabatteria è europeo, ha il 'nostro' attacco italiano per capirci.Manuale: non è in italiano, ma l'app Netvue lo è, vi dà le istruzioni sia di testo, in italiano, sia VIDEO, su cosa e quando fare le cose.Sensisiblità audio: buona, direi non eccellente ma sufficiente per sentire le conversazioni (magari dovrete ascoltare l'audio con le cuffie del telefonino e mettere il volume a palla, ma l'audio non gracchia)Altoparlante: potete parlare voi a chi è 'controllato' dalla telecamera: qui il volume è più che sufficiente, gracchia appena appena.Suoni: attenzione, al riavvio il din don di accenssione dà un po' fastidio... se va via la corrente di notte potrebbe sentirsi un po'.Sensore movimento: presente, cattura screenshot e li invia all'app. Riceverete le notifiche anche ad app 'chiusa' perchè le notifiche funzionano in background. Questa funzionalità è disattivabile dall'app.Follow motion: no, non segue l'eventuale movimento rilevato.App NetVue: supporta più telecamere, carino il fatto che potete dare il privilegio DI VISIONE NON AMMINISTRATIVA ad altri utenti, i quali dovranno solo registrarsi sull'app con l'email. E' in italiano. Attenzione che dall'app l'audio delle webcam è SEMPRE attivo di default ! Quando fate partire la visualizzazione, ricordatevi perciò di regolare il volume dello smartphone oppure di cliccare sul simbolo dell'altoparlante per disattivarne l'audioVisione notturna: buona, se ve lo chiedete, si, si vede la corona rossa dei led infrarossi, ma non illuminano, non danno fastidio; dato che la webcam è sempre accesa, di notte i led infrarossi sono sempre accesi, non solo in caso di movimento.Web App: non c'è modo di vederla via 'web'.Il prodotto arriva in una scatola color bianco con scritte argentate; è esteticamente gradevole e di dimensione "abbastanza compatte".Il sensore è utilizzabile sia di giorno (si vede a colori), sia di notte (si vede in bianco e nero). Il cambio dell'impostazione avviene automaticamente.Per poter utilizzare la webcam serve scaricare il software "Netvue" da playstore (android) ed avere una rete wifi domestica.Installazione facile ed intuitiva.La webcam ha il microfono bidirezionale e si può muovere da remoto. Buona la funzione di notifiche push dei movimenti una volta configurata l'area da controllare.NB: per utilizzare la webcam serve creare un account Netvue e scaricare l'applicazioneNB2: l'applicazione viene aggiornata "troppe" volteNB3: è possibile inserire una memoria micro sd su cui salvare le foto/video, ma l'utilizzo risulta macchinoso e troppo spesso non si riesce a visualizzare quanto salvato.Consigliata a chi cerca un prodotto per un uso occasionale.Au départ j'avais mis 4 puis 5 étoiles... Mais comme disait la pub' : "ça c'était "avant" !Nous avions acheté cette caméra, afin de pouvoir surveiller l'intérieur de notre maison lors de nos absencesmais aussi pour voir si un de nos trois chats veut rentrer, lorsque la porte-fenêtre de notre cuisine est fermée. La caméra aurait permis de les distinguer à travers la vitre et nous éviter des déplacements inutiles, pour voir tous les quart d'heure si un chat voulait rentrer.Hélas !!! C'est un produit non-fini (application ? firmware ?) et très très capricieux. Il suffit de débrancher une ou deux fois la caméra de son bloc d'alimentation (pas envie de consommer du courant pour rien en journée) pour que les problèmes commencent. J'ai tenté de le relier en wifi par les répétiteurs (toujours en 2ghz évidemment car incompatible 5ghz) puis directement sur le wifi 2ghz de la Livebox : rien n'y fait ! Cela fonctionne pendant 2 ou trois connexions depuis l'appli. puis plus moyen de se reconnecter. Il faut "supprimer l'appareil" de l'application puis refaire l'installation de zéro ! Raz la casquette au bout d'un moment.Pourtant c'est dommage, car lorsqu'elle daigne fonctionner l'image est belle, de nuit comme de jour, et la détection de mouvement fonctionne plutôt bien !Bref un très bon potentiel audio-vidéo ruiné par une programmation douteuse et des bugs à répétitions. Je ne recommande pas (sauf à aimer s'énerver).Retour Amazon dès ce jour !Installato, abbastanza semplice come procedura. App proprietaria e sembrava funzionare. La mia intenzione era di installarlo nel garage docv ho una mia piccola officina come sistema di sorveglianza e rilevamento movimento con relativo avviso. Bene, portato in garage (8mt dal router e dove il mio cellulare riceve segnale quasi al massimo) dava scarso campo wifi e non funzionava. Riportato in casa (4mt dal router) segnare accettabile e gia il sistema di movimento camera non reaqgiva, Tutto fermo. Con Alexa (Echo Plus) non intereagisce se non (questo nelle routine) per accendere il dispositivo (senza possibilità di poterlo spegnere..... strana cosa). Quindi impossibile attivare o disattivare da Alexa la rilevazione movimeto se non dall'App. App questa che offre l'appoggio alla nuvoletta (proprietaria) e quindi anche alla gestione del dispositivo, gratuitamente per 15 gg poi.... 9€ mese. Senza esitazione impacchettato di nuovo e reso
