Does not keep time if not connected to internet - Otherwise Great Product

I was able to get this to work with little effort on my DVR software for Mac, Security Spy. Basically you have to set a computer to the same IP range 192.168.1.X and then you will be able to pick up the default IP of .20 for the camera and login with the default bunt bunt user-pass. MAKE SURE TO CHANGE DEFAULT PASSWORDS and USERNAMES EVEN WHEN POSSIBLE. I know, that is common sense, but I still hear of/know that people don't. After that, setup is easy, you need to place in Stand Alone mode his the first gotcha, then you can change the user pass. The next is that you need to allow it to see the internet and then firewall it off. Blocking internet prevents bad things. Seriously, do you need to see your cameras remotely? Or do you just wanna? Safer not to have that opening that can be somehow exploited.

Best option right now

For those serious about home surveillance & savvy enough to setup their own NVR server, this is by far the best option on the market right now. Night vision IR is fantastic. Extremely easy to setup on-site or off-site. They look extremely professional and sleek and intimidating to unwanted visitors. Reliable NVR software, too. Buy them or the more expensive UniFi products. There's really no reason to go with anything else. 10/10.

Easy to setup and use security camera.

This is a great camera that is easy to use. You can just set it down on a table, plug in a network cable into a PoE switch (you'll need that for power) and you are ready to go. You'll need to use their NVR to have it work, they cost about 200 dollars. However you can do it free by setting up your own Ubuntu server and installing their NVR software. Takes a little more work, but it's free. You can view the video via a web browser, or a phone app. Night vision looks good, and you can see clearly. You can set the camera to record on motion, all the time, or never. The recording is HD quality, however you can lower the quality if you wish based on the amount of storage space you have. I've included a screen shot of what the image quality is like for this camera, as well as a portion of the dashboard in the NVR server.

Fantastic quality for the price

The quality of this is really good.. far better than the ARLO2 Pro cameras and Ring HD cameras. That said, the night vision is not that great. Truth be told I dont have a light that turns on to help either, nor did I expect night vision to be of much use. The motion detection is wonky. It works.. maybe too good. Most mornings I wake up to over 100 emails of motion detection, due to wind and a plant that sometimes ends up in frame. I even set up custom zones, but it seems to ignore those. That is more likely the software though, not the camera, as the motion detection zones is controlled by the software itself, not hardware in the camera.

Great cameras for the price!

For the money you can't beat these cameras! Picture quality might be slightly worse then the more expensive models but it is far better than the cheap off brand cameras. If you are worried about them getting a little wet mine was ripped off along with the roof of my porch during hurricane Michael and managed to survive in the direct rain.

I can see everything now

I have 4 of these now, all directed to my AWS server. Took some configuration work, but it works great. The app lets me see things very clearly, even at night - good resolution. The only issue I have is the spider that keeps coming back setting off the motion sensor with the moving spider webs.

A Handy Little Camera at an Affordable Price

If you are a serious hobbyist or an IT professional who's already familiar with the Unifi Video setup then this is a great little product for otherwise tough to cover sports. Not as secure as something mounted to the wall of course, but for a small office, a closet, or a child room for a home application this is a great little deal at a great price. If you don't know what Unifi video is and don't want to deal with setting up a Unifi Video Controller or don't even know what that mean this is not the camera for you. :)

Phenomenal performance for $78

This camera has to be the best value available right now. You'll need a power injector or a PoE switch, but for $78 this thing is unbeatable. In my posted image, the far wall is 45' from the camera, it's pitch black out and no lights are on in my shop. Fantastic.

Great video quality, nice upgrade from UVC Micro for less $$

A nice upgrade from the aging UVC Micro, and cheaper than most of the Unifi cameras at only $75-$80. Excellent video quality and the free Unifi NVR software provides great options for settings, motion detection customization, etc. PoE supported so no wifi needed, or multiple cables running to the mounted location. 2 axis of motion, though I wish it could point further down. Also really nice that there is a recessed ceiling mount option to hide it further up in the ceiling when mounted upside down (sold separately, but only $10). I only wish it had audio talkback like the Micro did, so I could yell stuff at people standing at my front door. But honestly that's just a gimmicky feature that I never really used.
