Sam, you are great! I was stressed about these cameras. I purchased four of them! I have struggled to hook them up with no success but now I will use your video. Thank you. The seller I used does NOT issue refunds, that also added to my stress. I wonder if I can use the led light more often than not with the camera? Maybe press the light button like you showed and leave it on? These little cameras are taking up a spot for an outside light or flood light at our house so light is needed. I bet the led light comes on when there is motion but that is not all the time. You are the best source of info on these cameras on the web.

Knowing that would you install one of these cameras inside your home with the provided base?

@Dale Gray, thanks for your comments. I have had my camera for a few months now and have not had any problems. I use it with my Wi-Fi disabled for access to camera. I don't turn my whole WiFi off, only access for the camera. The camera will record video outside my house and store on memory card. If I want to control or control the camera, I turn on Wi-Fi and turn it off when I don't care about controlling the position of cam view. I have had no charges or contact from the company about charges. No I do not sign up for cloud services. I would never do that as they have access to your info. My camera is safe for me the way I use it. I only have my camera monitoring the outside of my house, not my bedroom, bathroom or any of the private areas of inside my house. I think that is what most people are afraid of hackers viewing their privacy. The cloud is another place to say away from and you do not require it to use the camera. Hope my experience will help folks understand the range of uses and security you can use and have fun with this camera. It tracks cars going down the street and people walking. The fun camera I have owned.

One is you have to connect the camera to the app. Then you have to connect the app and camera to your wifi network. Your cell phone has to be on the same network. You have to set your phone to your wifi router in the settings. If you don't do this, you will be on the cellular network and you will not be able to control the camera. The instruction walk you through downloading the app then you have to follow what it tells you. One part is it says to point your phone up to the camera, well the app hooks into your camera and sets it to record the QR code that will be present in your phone. If you did not do all this, then get some help as I would never be able to walk you through it with messages. This all requires a good knowledge of working with apps and connecting to a network.

@dellathoma5671, You are not required to buy Cloud Storage, it just gives you more video viewing options. Now, the camera mounted on your porch and next to the house gives the area a much higher temp due to the heat from you home. I found by searching internet the range is 0 C which is 32 f to 113 f. The cam is under a porch and next to house, this is a warmer place than way out from house. The heat in your house will put the outside of your house at a higher temp. Put a thermometer near the light and see what the temp really is for the Cam. Good luck.

"sign up" into... something they don't tell you anything about ;-) Isn't such a deal kind of strange ? If I understand correctly, it looks like you need their server for your camera to work. And their server needs to know about you -- but you don't know anything about their server ;-) If that is the way it works, what data do they collect about you camera ? How do they use it ?

Once you follow the button for Sign up, you need to create a user name and password so only you can access the App. Once you Sign up, latter you will "Sign In" to the app. You will use the user name and Password you just created. I point the sign up because you can not sign in until you have signed up for the App. This was supposed to be my way of not letting you get confused and try to sign in before signing up. Looks like I created a bigger misunderstanding for you, sorry. You are signing up for the App. All Apps work this way and no this is not a place on the other side of the world. You access the app from you cell phone so the app is Ok. Now if you do not know how to download the App, we have a lot more to talk about, let me know and I will explain that in detail.

If you're able to get back to me I'm trying to install at the present moment. My time right now is 8:52 PM I'm not sure of the difference in time zone. ?

@@samowens44 Yea well running 220 v mains in a cheap Chinese toy... So I gutted mine and found you can remove the power supply board, mains lead and use it's low v wiring. Run the 5v low wires to an S2 LiPo charger/5v buck converters output. Connected the S2 boards input to a barrel connector. Pulled the lower motor out and ground down the plastic shaft it mated with. Drilled holes to bolt the ears of the motor to. Then made a shaft that I epoxied in the Edison connector to remount the now upside down motor on and fixed the two batts and charger to the body of the motor. The barrel connector comes out the side of the camera mount and the lower motor can now spin in an endless circle. I fill it's safer maybe more versatile. Planning to run the numbers on the chips and see if I can make it do what I want it to do instead of what China hoped it would do. Wish me luck. Or IDK do you have any advice? Is it possible to flash from mem card? If you know how it would help. BTW If it matters my preferred language is C++ Ubuntu. Lets make Chinese garbage usable.

@MLynette Pinky, I hope you are just being funny or if you are serious, I am going to explain the Light Bulb Camera features. I primary feature is to capture video and can track motion when motion feature is set in the settings. It has inferred lighting for night video capture. It does have a bright light that you can activate to light up the area, or have it to come on automatic is an alert is triggered. The light I featured may be different than the one you got from Walmart, mine does not have any colored light settings. Anyway, it is not the correct product if you want to use it as a night light for your front porch. I suggest you take it back and get a regular light bulb to use for proper lighting that you state you want. Thanks for commenting.

I only turn it on when I want to change the direction of mount, from up to down or back. You have to have wifi to flip the video that is captured. When I block the WIFI, the camera will capture 24 hours continues video in segments of selected time files. You can not control the cam tilt or pan without WIFI, but you can manually twist the cam in the direction you want, vertical or horizonal.

@d.Morris9313 first have your camera close to your Wi-Fi router. See if you can control the camera rotation and control up and down. If it works, your camera does not receive a strong enough signal. This camera needs to be within 30 feet or less for good control. Also, the more walls and obstacles the signal goes through, you will have operational control issues. I use a Wi-Fi extender to give a better camera performance. You link the extender to your Wi-Fi signal an place the extender close to camera. That will extend the 30 ft to 60 ft range. If this is not the problem get the cam close to the Wi-Fi and reset up camera.

@Nick Perez, well, this is the micro card and it is the most popular mem card that I did not think it a problem when I created this video. I will tell you, the location is the slot on the bottom of the camera. Now the slot is tilted, so the card does not go straight in, it has a tilt, with a corner that will stick up more on the outside part of the bottom of the camera. You place the colored side away from the lens of the camera and push in slowly finding the path and at one point you will find it and be able to push and feel tension. Push on the tension and it will go in and stop, then slowly let go and it will stay. You do have to explore the correct path as it is something you have to feel and can not watch someone do it. Good Luck!
