Decision:

As a beginner with technology, I found this device mostly easy to use, but it has its flaws. FINALLY, I have a way to monitor my doorstep without straining through the peephole, which is a relief. The video quality is impressive—I can clearly see who's there, even at night, which feels very secure. However, the motion detection is overly sensitive; it alerts me for every little movement, which can be distracting, especially when I'm cooking or relaxing. I wish there was a way to adjust it better. The wireless setup was straightforward, no tools needed, but the battery drains faster than I'd like, so I have to charge it often. For tips, I recommend placing it in a spot with less foot traffic to reduce false alerts. Also, make sure to keep it charged regularly to avoid missing important events. Overall, it's useful but not perfect, and I feel a bit disappointed that it doesn't meet all my expectations for a home security device.

• Pros: The video is very clear, making it easy to see details like faces or packages. I liked that I could talk to visitors without opening the door, which is great for safety. Setting it up was simple with no wires, and it works well in the dark, which is a big help.
• Cons: The motion alerts can be too sensitive, picking up things like passing cars or animals, which gets annoying. The battery life seems shorter than expected, needing frequent recharging. Sometimes the audio has a slight delay or echo, making conversations awkward. It doesn't always connect reliably to my phone, causing missed notifications.
