Amazing night vision monitor cam at affordable price!
I bought the Webcam for my chicken coop after I saw the footprints of raccoons or fox on the automatic door even though I already trapped 12 raccoons this year and relocated them far away from my house. I worry the Wi-Fi may not work that far since the chicken coop is about 60 feet away from my house and another brand webcam can not be installed there. I was surprised that the Wi-Fi showed 3/5 bars that far for this cam. The first night after installation, it detected a big fat raccoon lurking at the chicken coop door and alerted me. I shouted at the raccoon over the speaker and also used the siren to scare him off without getting out of bed. I can see it clearly under night vision. The second morning, when my chickens came out after the automatic door opened, it detected “pet wandering around” and labeled the chicken in red box. I noticed it also detected me as a “person” when I went near the coop. Amazing AI software for such a low priced unit! I then noticed there are other AI functions that could be very useful, for example, if installed near front door, it can tell if a package is being dropped off, or best feature, if a package is being picked up (or stolen)! Honestly, I just bought another big brand wecam for my front door at much higher price. Maybe I should return that one and buy another GMK for my front door! I had a lot of activities near my chicken coop but the battery still last a few weeks at one full charge. It would have been longer because I forgot to turn the phone app off so the phone was using the cam with live view for a few hours before I noticed. The recharge is also a breeze because it is so easy to take it off and take home or bring a USB portable battery to the chicken coop. I now simply turn off the motion detection off on my phone app during daytime, when there is no threat of predators. Amazing webcam at affordable price!

Far Superior to Blink Cameras
I'm a contractor, I bought ten of these to use at some of my vacant homes/jobsites.I first ordered the Blink Exterior cameras and was shocked at how poor the picture quality was, especially at night. The "infrared" night vision was basically worthless. Even if you could see something happening the quality was so poor that it would be impossible to identify a perpetrator. Not to mention they had fewer features at a higher price point.These cameras are great, by comparison-- the infrared night vision works about 10 times better, and if you're still not happy, then they have the ability to use a spotlight. They also have an audible siren alarm feature, which the blink cameras do not. That's huge if your goal is to deter thieves or vandals, rather than simply catch the act on camera and wait 20 years for the criminal justice system to ultimately do nothing.They're also more solidly built- the mounts are probably 10 times more durable, and the cameras themselves just feel robust.The app is easy to use, the set up is easy as well.The only complaint I have is with the battery life-- the battery depends ENTIRELY on how much activity there is-- my cameras in the back yard have lasted 4-5 weeks. The camera in the front yard picks up every car, and drains in about 2 weeks. But that's probably the same across the board-- if you're worried, buy the solar panel to go with it.All in all, I was shocked at how much better these are than the name-brand Blink cameras. Don't hesitate to buy these!

Accurate Product
I really enjoy these cameras. I purchased two of them for my townhome and I must say that the battery for these has been superb thus far. I live in Indy and we recently experienced some severely cold temps (below freezing down to -4) and the outdoor camera hasnt failed yet and the battery has been consistent on the same charge. Ive had the cameras for two weeks now and the battery for the outdoor one if literally just now at 97%. Keep in mind that I have the camera facing at an angle where it doesn't pick up so much traffic because it does tend to get congested where I live thus picking up a lot of movement. I want to also mention that I took a plastic zip lock baggy and tapped it around the perimeter of the camera only leaving the charging port exposed to also help it hold up in the cold weather and it has done well behind this also. Overall, I'd say that this camera is decent for the price and seems to be durable enough to hold up in these harsh temps. So I must say I do recommend this product as it seems to be legit so far. I do also want to mention that the app can be a bit off at times and this was something that I experienced and when I reached out to customer care they provided me with the directives to get the cameras back operating as they were offline for a while and after following their directions it worked just fine. For anyone who has 5GHZ of wifi be mindful that these cameras don’t support that much so it needs to be at 2.5GHZ. If you don’t have that then purchase a wifi repeater and connect the cameras to that. I did this and my cameras work well connecting to it with no major issues.
