The camera's motion sensor is very slow and has a short range. If someone walks at a normal pace, the camera activates only after they've already passed by, which is especially true at night. The intruder would have to be very slow or disabled for the camera to capture them. It worked correctly for the first few days, but now it doesn't record much. I bought it based on recommendations from "smart bloggers" who claimed it could connect and download recordings without internet. However, the direct access point feature they described doesn't work. I asked them in writing, and they vaguely said it might be in the settings. The seller confirmed that WiFi is required. So, I had to use one phone to create a WiFi hotspot and connect the camera to it with another phone. Basically, it's better to invest in more advanced equipment. This is a simple, low-quality device.
