Very impressed - 5 stars from me
I am so impressed with this little camera! The picture quality is amazing for the price. Download the app, follow the on screen instructions, setup is simple and quick and it works very well. I have it pointed out of my front window because I wanted it for security and also to see what wildlife passes by.
It easily picks up neighbours coming and going in their cars and the postman coming up the drive. As others have said there are reflections if you point the camera through a window at night – I will play around with positioning, maybe if I can get the camera flush with the window this would be reduced but I will still be able to see any intruders or wildlife
For the money this is an amazing little camera. I have wanted one for ages but could not really justify the price tag if the more expensive models but I am so happy with this
It detects noise as well as motion so if the tv is on or we are speaking or coughing it alerts us – doing its job and I can see that I can adjust the sensitivity if I want to, which I may well do
I have had it less than a day but it seems good quality and I am very happy with it 🙂
What they don't tell you!
It can support 128GB SDCard regardless of what it says in the description. The constant recording can only be accessed by removing the SD Card from the device and viewing it on another device. There is a 5 minute motion and auditorial detection interval when uploading to the cloud: so if something happens in those 5 minutes since previous detection, you will have to manually check the SD Card. Finally the night vision is pretty bad and short range, especially if you are trying to use it out of a window: the infrared LEDs reflect off of the window in night vision.
Wot it says on the ti
Very happy with these cameras. I tried others but returned them. Great video and good response for movement. The night vision is good but I have it switched off as its good even with street lighting for outside. Connected easy.
I’m getting another 2.
Not compatible with google home, only Alexa. Often I have to open the app 4 or 5 times before it operates.( thats why i only gave 4 stars).
Good quality at a low price
For the money this is a great camera, has a lot of features on the camera and the cloud service for 3.99 a month is great value.
I’ve ordered some mounts to put up outside as the camera cost 20 I’m not too fussed by water damage.
Night vision on the camera is pretty good I do get glare off things that are white and my registration so I would recommend to try them at night to get the best spot for them to avoid glare all in all great camera

Not as secure as expected
Great value and decent app. However I think that a big concern for me is how secure it is. There is no Multifactor Authentication option to login to your account so it is vulnerable to being hacked, which is a concern considering if anyone is able to breach it then they have access to live video and audio. You can’t see the last time that you logged in either, making it difficult to see if anyone else is logging into your account.
Ex cellent quality and reliability for the price
Excellent product and I have spent money on quite a few cameras before coming across the Neos. Quality of picture is great for such a small camera both in the daylight and in the dark. It is small and inconspicuous so does not look unsightly whether you use the provided self adhesive plate the camera is magnetized to (which is very strong) or just stand alone. I am considering the external case so that I can use one of these instead of an expensive doorbell that you have to pay a premium for, such as Ring. I am very happy with my purchase and would certainly recommend this to anyone wanting a little more security or even as a monitor for animals etc.
Good camera but buy from Neos for cheaper.
The fact you can buy it directly from neos company for only 20 is extremely annoying that I paid 25 for it here. I feel cheated but also silly that I didn’t investigate this first. Go directly to the brand to buy at the best price not Amazon!
I’ve Had it less than a week and so far super good. Only downside is it needs to be permanently plugged into mains, this is why it’s lost a star with me.
Brilliant.
Best WiFi camera I have had the pleasure to use. Easy to set up! The app is amazing, you can ask the makers questions on the app and they will respond. The camera has a great picture and it will record video for you to instantly view in a neat little file of videos showing you each incident of motion or sound.
You can leave it on your phone to notify you of these small events for you to go and view. It’s very handy.
Most wifi cameras do not record 12 seconds of video and allow you to view it without an SD card! So I find this feature great.
It does take a SD card and also has an upgrade on the app that allows you small extras like 1 minute of recording instead of 12 seconds for something like 3.49 a month. It’s not too bad of a price for the extra protection on as each camera you buy.
Overall I’m super impressed with this cam! I have 2 and its been so much easier than the multiple WiFi cameras I have brought elsewhere which have broken and let me down over and over again.
Fantastic product and service
Had two of these for a few months now and have to say they are absolutely brilliant. Good picture, good coverage, easy to install and the app to view when away from home works every time whether via WiFi or mobile data. Now with the added bonus of Neos boost which stores 1minute clips instead of 12 seconds and allows you to mask part of the cameras view to cut out unwanted triggering. I really don’t know how Neos can keep the price so low when compared to other cams and their customer service (with live chat) is also excellent, with a couple of issues I’ve had sorted out very quickly. Highly recommended
Not 7 Days Recording
First of all the reality is that this is a cracking little camera that is almost cute in it’s design – intentional of course – is well made and the system works brilliantly.
However, lets make a correction. The Amazon description is incorrect when it states that recordings are kept for seven days on the cloud. They are not. Each 12 second clip is saved for 24 hours – which of course you can download.
All is not lost of course because, you can insert a microSD card and run on a continuous loop making your own recordings which, you can download. Simple, easy and cheap and will of course avoid the eventual roll out costs of a long term on line storage subscription.
The above advertising niggle aside, this is a brilliant bit of kit. Genuinely well made with an appealing design. Even more impressive is the cost which, is cheap as chips for what it is, especially being UK designed (not manufactured of course) and supported.
Easy to set up. Really easy especially with the no nonsense videos.
Now, I do see some people hating the idea of registering details. Well, if you use the internet and of course IP cameras with online storage it is a fact of life. All IP camera companies want this information but, I trust NEOS more than most because it is a British company based in the UK and is allied to the largest insurance company in the UK as well. You are as safe as any internet based camera system can be. If you don’t want that ‘risk’ then buy a NVR and POE cameras and don’t connect to the internet.
I wanted this for outside to be honest, despite being an indoor camera. So, I bought a small enclosure for it and put it near my hedgehog feeding station to keep an eye on Spiney. Works a treat.
Only one more thing to note, is that on the Neos website it’s sold at twenty quid so cheaper than here.

Good value.
Good value, a nice little camera. Took me a while to set it up – but that’s because I’m an IT dinosaur! Sometimes it is hard to connect when I want to dip in and dip out to check on what’s happening. Help/Support team could be better. Would have been useful to have had a spare magnetic stick on disc. But overall, I’m really glad I got it.
…it literally is.
Honestly when I ordered the camera to review it, I did not expect much, considering the price under 30 which is for home cameras already low, let alone for cameras with features such as motion detection and night vision.
In addition you get a companion app which is in it self brilliant, you can watch any notifications, videos recorded and live feeds for it, have a ton of settings for adjustments and the best of all GEO FENCING!
This feature alone would make the camera way more worth then it actually costs and much expensiver systems I have or have tested such as Blink or Arlo do not have this feature at all.
Some might find it intrusive that the app asks you for your address, but given it features Geo fencing as one if its main features, this can only work with your location obviously and compared to many other apps which just track your location, this app asks you for the address to allow you to set the geo fencing area correctly.
If you do not want that , you can basically enter what ever you like there, but for me it is one of the most important features to have it automatically armed and disarmed when I come and go.
In terms of picture Quality, it is very good during the day , although not up to 1080p as advertised, while the resolution is 1080p, it is a bit pixelated, specially with higher motion, but more then good enough to identify objects and persons without any problem.
Same is true for the Night vision, its quite grainy but good enough to identify all objects, persons , etc. and given that low price I would have expected worse.
Motion Detection works very well and fast even in night vision but flawless during the day.
My most loved feature about this camera is definitely the Geo fencing so I have it set to turn active when I leave the house and when my phone comes close to the house it disables the alarm notifications, a feature I wished our Blink System has which we use for outdoors.
Yes the camera is plastic, but from a high quality one and it can be adjusted in nearly every angle and also the setup process which is guided by the app was a breeze, everyone can do it.
I just wait if they ever make outdoor versions of it, I am one of the first one buying it, alone for the fact that it does not need a Hub and also records on SD card.
One of my best purchases lately 🙂 Very pleased!
Fazit: Don`t expect of course a camera with a picture quality of expensive security cameras, but I have seen and tested many counterparts and none of them came close in terms of features and quality and ease of use and for home use and even in small offices I think this is a great purchase.

Good image quality and value for money. Quality feel too.
Image quality is good, so is the motion detection. There’s a few improvements to be made with the settings, which I’m sure will be resolved over time. Overall a very good piece of equipment and good value for money. There is a section where you can make suggestions and vote for existing ones, so improvements can be looked into. Five stars if they can make the few changes I’ve voted on which others have already suggested.
Couldn’t recommend this camera enough!
I’m so pleased with this product that I’ve instantly bought another lol. It’s everything I hoped for. Easily plugs into a mains socket, connects to your home WiFi. It can record off the cloud or via SD card (I have both) records with motion detection (12 second clips), you can watch live and manually record, screenshot and talk through the camera. It’s so cute and small, fits well on my window sill. It zooms in as well.
Some reflections as expected looking through the window but even then the quality is great.
Hoping to catch the dog owner that keeps letting their dog poop on my property and doesn’t clean it up!
And of course for home security as well.
The pictures I’ve included are day light, dusk, zoomed in dusk and night.

I set this camera up to watch my cats while I was away, it was fast to set up and seemed to work well. The next morning though it wasn’t connecting to the app and I had to reset it and start all over again. I was worried that if this kept happening then it would be useless while I was away. But thankfully it only did that the one time. I set it to alert me to movement because I hoped to be able to watch those clips and see the cats as I wasn’t expecting anything else to be moving in the house. The camera was set up in a room and facing away from any windows or doors. Yet I got almost constant alerts, telling me there was movement and so when I checked I was surprised to see no sign of my cats, instead the camera was telling me that changes in light were setting off the movement alert (a small yellow box shows up on the area where the movement was detected), I can only assume these changes came from the tree outside making shadows, or perhaps clouds going in front of the sun. I don’t really know but it was very annoying. Now I’m home I removed that feature which is a shame as it would be good to know if there was unexpected movement in my home, but it is clearly too sensitive. The camera is small and looks good, I wish it was wireless as the cord is annoying, although not short, I’d estimate it to be about two meters, maybe slightly under, but it does restrict where you can put the camera.
Outstanding quality at an unbelievable price
Very impressed with this camera. Easy to set up, excellent quality picture and incredibly low price for what you get. It is designed to be an indoor camera but I have it facing externally from my front window. During the day the image quality is perfect, at night the glare restricts some areas of visibility, but is not designed to be used the way I have it set up. The notifications are generally OK, although you need to tweak the settings to avoid constantly being pinged, and some events don’t get captured as specific clips. This can be a non-issue by using a memory card which will record constantly, allowing you to find something that may not have been tacked as a specific event. Very highly recommended.
Good but could improve and be a lot bette
For the price it is a great internal camera with lots of good features such as cloud storage as well as microsd card, app controlled, simply setup. However, it does have some shortcomings such as unable to view footage stored on the microsd through the app (ie only via computer). No control over the sound when in live view mode. Always continuously records on microsd. Unable to set photo of the camera. I have to say the iSmart camera is better.
Neos SmartCam Security Camera - Works with Alexa, 1080P Full HD with 2-Way Audio Smart Camera
Absolutely love this tiny Neos CCTV camera – it’s such a well made item with video quality and features matching many of the big brand named CCTV cameras on the market.
The Neos is extremely easy to set-up via the App and there are a number of monitoring options you can set within the software. I liked the camera so much I now have 2 of them and in the Neos App you can set them as armed and disarmed with a simple switch on the Home overview page.
The camera has a built-in stand which is great if you need to lift it slightly, it also has 2 way speech so you can talk to and speak back to anyone in the vicinity of the camera, the angle of view is very wide, and picture quality excellent. There’s also the ability to record all notifications if you insert a micro SDHC card.
A great device – thoroughly recommended.

Great little camera but needs app improvement.
The price of this camera is really good, the app is good as well, however there are some features which need sorting out. There is no zoning of movement so you have to play with the settings to get it right, this is a pain. I decided in the end to use an outside mount for it and have it under a porch, camera quality is very good although the IR isnt extremely powerful for excellent night vision, the alerts were impossible though, zoning needs to be implemented. Good thing is the support team seem keen to help and get involved with discussion about improving the camera and its software so maybe in the future there will be improvements which make me come back to the Neos cam, at the moment I am sticking with my Ring floodlight which has zoning, better night vision and solid app, albeit almost 10 times the price!

Received well packaged and on opening the box you felt like you were opening a premium quality item, taking all of the contents out of the box I was happy with the long usb lead and 3 pin plug giving me the choice to use either USB connection or direct to socket, setting up was a breeze and I totally understand people having issues with the privacy intrusion as it is quite a personal setup but that said, it will automatically arm itself if you forget when you leave home, you can set up a radius from your address, we have had ours some time now and purchased another as I’m using the second one to keep an eye on my 3D printer whilst I’m out and about, I love the picture quality and both sound and movement activation, the two way communication isn’t bad considering the size of the camera but it works.
One of the best features is the personal service from their customer support who will chat with you via the app, I found that setting up the app was easy and straight forward, there’s a decent amount of control and the developers of the product are continuously updating and listening to its users, that’s a big plus for me.
As far as privacy is concerned i sincerely understand the concerns but I’m happy with the knowledge I can flip it on or off and it connects to my WiFi automatically and when i leave home I’m content in the knowing that I’ll receive notifications on any activations Straight to my mobile phone.
May be getting a 3rd just for the shed 😉
Simple and decent wireless camera!
Used to monitor my property during a 2 week holiday. Easy to set up and mount in right location. All working fine. Pic quality is good but don’t go expecting to be able to read number plates at 50M for example. Movement detection is good but the out of the box setting is too sensitive for me which meant I was getting 30-50 notifications per day of activity and when I viewed the clip it would be a branch of a tree moving slightly or similar. However, once adjusted, it is OK. Night vision works pretty well but the IR LED’s are very obviously ON so any real intruder would spot the cameras pretty easily. The App and server works pretty good and I also have an Echo Show 5 and this integrates with the NEOS cams very well too. Overall for 25 its about as good as it gets! Perfect for keeping an eye on delivery drivers, pets, kids etc but it’s no match for a proper wired CCTV system of course.
Can't rate it highly enough.
After a bike got stolen from my garden shed recently, I shelled out about 1500 on exterior/interior CCTV, Alarms & a secure bike store.
From everything I’ve bought, I can honestly say these little 25 cameras were one of my best purchases – Picture quality is very good, night vision is shockingly good & the Application for the most part just works, now whenever I go out I get an automatic “Home – Armed” alert and then when something in the house moves or a doorbell rings I get a notification about movement being detected or a sound being heard and the video clip is sent to the cloud (at no expense) so I can see/hear what happened.
I’m also very privacy focused (despite having cameras) so I typically turn off the cameras via Smart plugs when I’m at home, but I’ve also left them turned on monitored the cameras on my network & can say they basically never use bandwidth, so I’m quite confident theres no secretive/pervy things going on the only time they really do anything on the internet is when a clips been recorded or when ‘you’ are watching remotely.
I’ve also spoken to Neos and they’ve told me the data from the cameras is fully encrypted both in live viewing & when being sent to the cloud & can only be viewed by the owner (protected by ID/Pass) – the Cloud services are also provided by Amazon, so all channels seem secure & reputable.

Peace of mind while you're away
he picture quality is good, and motion detector is very sensitive. it even notify you with the movement of the shadow from the trees outside. but im not too sure with the privacy thing, it ask you a lot of questions that im not comfortable sharing with the neo customer care. but otherwise the product is good.
Good camera for drop in and activity capture.
Good quality camera works well in every function, perfect solution for drop in / activity monitoring , however not continuously on for constant viewing. Not suitable for uninterrupted viewing / monitoring. The option of streaming on would be good in order to allow use as say baby monitor or security viewer also. Would be five stars with this feature option .
Excellent picture quality and price
An excellently priced WiFi camera with motion record. The picture quality is incredible for this price point, it’s been in my living room for over a month and has never dropped out. The audio recieve and speaker is lacking quality but that’s not the main reason you’d buy this.
The motion sensor records 15ish seconds from capture and saves it to the cloud accessable from the app on your phone.
Very easy to set up and the app is a breeze to use.
Highly recommended.
WOW !! Just wow !! Buy one.
These cameras are excellent. The quality of phenomenal for the price.
I previously had ‘cleverdog’ cameras and these Neos one a blow them out of the water.
The night vision can be disabled meaning you can have them pointing through a window at nighttime and not have the glare back off the infrared.
Only gripes are you can’t replay video direct from your camera app, it’s SD card out and into a PC.
The detection area for the motion detection is the full camera view. There is no zoning off, so if you’ve got a tree constantly moving in the wind you’ll get constant alerts all day long.
Comes with a plug and a very long FLAT usb cable which is easy to stick into place as opposed to a regular circular cable
Also comes with a metal base that can be double sided onto the camera.

Impressed with this little camera
I’m very impressed with this little camera. I had some issues setting up as my phone tried to fill in the Wifi details automatically which resulted in the camera being unable to connect. You’ll need to enter these manually for it to work. Suprisingly easy setup apart from the wifi issue which caught me out. I bought this to keep an eye on my dog whilst I was away, for security and to see what my sister was up to as she often visits whilst I am out!
Arms when I leave the house and records a short clip if it detects motion. I’ve put an microSD card in the camera for this purpose. I can hear the sound very clearly and can talk through the camera remotely too (although my dog is deaf so defeats the object). Picture is really clear. I am now thinking of getting one for the front of the house instead of one of those doorbells (heard there is a massive delay with those). The app is very easy to use. For the price this camera is amazing!
Great little camera for the price
I have brought three of the Neo smart cameras they are of excellant quality and provide good security to my property i have one indoors over looking front of my house and two at rear in the the case designed for out door use the picture quality is of a very high standard the set up of the cameras is very easy and straight forward and the price is very good considering what you would pay for a cctv system i fully recommend camera and the case for out doors i have had no issues with the weather having experianced both heavy rain and strong winds

Great cameras
I absolutely love these little cameras. So much so I’ve now bought 3!
They’re a nice little design with great picture quality-even at night.
You can save pictures or clips to your phone from the app which is handy and you can also talk to a selected camera through the app too.
There is a slight lag in them and the sound quality isn’t amazing but I can live with that.
I like that I can see my house when I’m out and the motion/sound detection seems to go off when it needs too and I can check it on my phone.
They work great through the app and also with the Echo show 5.
My only issue is I can not turn the cameras off. When I disarm them they are still running but not recording any detection. For privacy I’d like to turn them off completely.
SPOTTED SORTED LOVED
I am not technical try to be off line as much as possible – this through another was shown – it is so easy as long as you follow the instructions methodically – in the set up – We use it to watch the front door and dog whilst out and the dogs sleeping room – Taken away all the worry of security and how the dog is when we are out – also reacts to shadows over the front door – admitted we face the sun/light – Just a shame the print is so small on the simple instructions and it took me ages to find the app – two things to improve on – a nifty little thing wont replace outdoor CCT but does add to your armoury –
Good value, fairly reliable
Great little camera for keeping an eye on my dog. I find the sound and motion detection excellent- it’s definitely worth experimenting with sensitivity levels. Could easily be used for security purposes.
I have docked a star because I occasionally find that the connection with my phone fails and can’t be retrieved until I have turned the camera off and on again. This happens even when my phone is connected to a strong Wi-Fi signal.
I can talk to my dog if she is a bit unsettled. I think she finds that quite confusing, but it at least distracts her for a bit!

Great kit for the price
This is a great wee gadget for waltching pets etc – I understand some peoples negatives over the info you have to give to get the app working(there are no financial detail tho), however that aside I think this is a fantasic bit of kit with excellent app features. I use it mainly for making sure the dog is ok during the day and at night. Night vision work great.
Wow, I’m seriously impressed with this little piece of kit. I know it states it is for internal use only, but I’ve installed it in an enclosed porch way to cover the approach to my door, so there is no chance of it getting wet or damp. (A risk I’m willing to take for the price I paid)
It was an absolute doddle to link up to my home Wi-fi network, which can’t be said of 2 external Ip cams that came at twice the price.
Very good easy to use app on iPhone and iPad. I’ve also linked it up to my Echo Show in the kitchen and Echo Spot in the bedroom without any problems at all and the picture quality is excellent. Unfortunately you can’t verbally communicate between Alexa and the camera, yet, but I can quite clearly via the app on my iPhone and iPad.
I can seriously recommend this brilliant little device, that is also quite cute. I have no doubts at all that I will be buying another very soon to protect my man cave from unwelcome intruders.
Update 26/10/19. Since writing the above review I’ve installed a further camera in my kitchen to watch over my dogs and to cover the back door. Again it was a doddle to set up and fit. It sticks to the side of the fridge with the magnetic base. As with my first camera it works perfectly. I’m now in the process of buying my third camera to cover my man cave in the garden.
Since installing my first camera, I have bought a waterproof housing for it from Amazon and it still works perfectly, even with the torrential rain we have had for the past month or so.
Nice - Easy Setup
Great little camera, sends updates and has a good quality lens on it, so much so I’ve ordered another. Not sure about all these weirdos who won’t provide their location to the camera YOU CAN SKIP THIS IF YOU WANT as this automatically arms the device when you leave your hours that the reason for it – What on earth do they think they’re going to do with this information, after all your ordering it from a mail order company so how did they find you to deliver it??? Some people have weird ideas! GREAT PRODUCT and I can’t see a problem providing the information required.
Read Before Other Reviews
I was dubious of these but now have 8 of them covering all non-private areas of my property.
The wire leading to them is flat enough to clip with small 3M clips so they aren’t prominent or you could place them in trunking. The base of the camera is magnetic and because of this it is incredibly easy to mount anywhere.
I currently use two as baby monitors, and the other 8 for home security. I have two facing through windows into the garden. With all cameras you can individually set the sensitivity for motion and noise detection, meaning the garden cameras work great and only detect large objects (people) not small objects (birds and bushes).
The setup process isn’t too intrusive – the address information is just use to get a GPS pointer on a map – which you can move anyway. I put a different address and moved the pointer. Setup also takes around 5 minutes per camera, including firmware updates. One thing I did find is that I needed to crash the iPhone app after 5 minutes of the firmware installing because it got stuck. But this didn’t impact the camera or connectivity at all.
Night vision works great and image quality is ok – but not 100% fantastic. For the price of the camera the image quality is amazing. The two way communication works well with minimal delay.
I did use auto arming for a while, but I had currently disable this as the app doesn’t seem to locate my wife’s phone well. We both have iPhones but hers seems to disconnect from the app. Meaning she will go home and I get notifications saying movement in the house. Before this issue it worked well.
The Alexa skills are ok, but slightly slow to load (10-15 seconds). However if you have cameras in separate building or a garage and want to have a peek at midnight it is very convenient. This works on Fire TV and Echo Show.
The app is great and constantly updated. The cameras only take a few seconds to load if you have a good signal. You get a snapshot from the last half hour or so on the home screen then you can go into each camera for a live view. It saves 5 second clips when the house is armed and motion or noise is detected. If you put a micro SD card in then it records constantly and overwrites old data first. These clips are saved into 1 minute files in folders on the SD card. Currently you can only view this on a PC – which is no big deal. I believe the developer is currently looking to introduce a viewing mechanism in the app.
You can turn the power light off from the back (through the app) if you want the camera hidden. Or keep it on – I have the one in the conservatory in to deter intruders.
The cameras work in different networks (I have two WiFi networks) and link to the same account in the app for easy browsing.
I believe these are a fantastic addition to any home security setup. I currently have a monitored alarm, and now if that goes off I can view my entire house from anywhere in the world and call the police if needed. For 25 a camera that peace of mind cannot be matched.
Great product, great price and great customer service when I have needed to ask questions.

Excellent & ideal for keeping an eye on the pets
This little camera is excellent. Setup is quick and the privacy concerns previously raised (providing home address on sign up) have been address by the developer. The base of the camera (the light grey bit) is magnetised which means it is easy to position – a metal disc and double sided sticky pad are also included for tool free mounting. There is a little lag based on what you are viewing and this should be expected. My router is in the attic so wifi is good downstairs but not strong – the camera live stream was a little patchy as a result but moving it upstairs the issue goes with a stronger wifi signal.
excellent security Camera
This product is excellent. We have had it only for about 1 week but I still can’t believe the value for money and the pics it produces. Night vision works and is very clear. It doesn’t need a subscription and for the quality of the pics I would have expected this to be in the same price region as some of the well know security brands out on the market. Do note it is super sensitive to movement so you do need to work out where to place your camera and tweak settings, but to would rather have this than nothing at all. Thank you for a wonderful product I feel at ease leaving the house!
Minor niggles initially, but very good value for the money
For the money this is a great little camera. I have had a few niggles and issues initially, but all seems well now….
General setting up and connecting to the wifi worked fine. I downloaded the app and all was up and running quickly. I did have issues getting the geo-fencing working with my phone. I’m not sure why but it seemed to take a couple of days to “settle down” and react to whether my phone was in the house or not, but since then has been working fine. I did contact Neos about it, but by the time they had responded it seemed to be working ok anyway.
The other minor issue is that the night vision mode is set to auto, and occasionally it doesn’t seem to reset to normal mode when it becomes day time. It isn’t due to the amount of light in the room as the camera is very near the window and there is plenty of light entering the room. Its not a major issue anyway as the picture quality in both night mode and day mode is ok. It’s only 1080p but this is not an expensive camera so its more than good enough for the price.
The voice communication worked ok – I tried it away fro the home on my 4G phone and I could hear what was being said and vice versa.
It is a shame that you can’t record longer clips, but again, so far this hasn’t been an issue.
I was taken by surprise by how small this was…! For some reason I had expected it to be bigger, but having not taken too much notice of the dimensions. But this means it is quite unobtrusive in the room.
All in all I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great value security camera.
I am going to base my review on what I actually think about the product other than the perceived intrusiveness that has impaired the consumers judgement.
If you are worried about privacy though, I would suggest that this smart cam is not for you as the sign up process requires ‘very personal’ details.
At the time of writing this review 9/06/19 I have owned the Neos Smart Cam for over a month now. (Purchased 8/06/19).
Unrivalled by any other smart cam at its price point, coming in at 25, the Neos Smart Cam in my opinion is revolutionary as it brings home security to the consumer at an affordable price.
The camera is small in size, it’s dimensions are 5 x 5 x 5.6 cm, and it features a sleek, adorable, Disney Pixar like shape with a foldable stand that allows for 360 degree movement which allows you to capture several different angles. The stand has a magnetic base which makes mounting easy, or you have the option to use the adhesive sticker that comes with it. The build itself is made from good quality plastic and is sturdy enough to withstand dropping it.
Its size, and looks alone is low profile, and its cuboidal shape allows it to be housed in many disguises which makes it the ultimate security camera.
Features:
The camera is intended for indoor use only, however there are various housing brackets that can be used to use it outside, although if rain seeps in it may break it.
For a 25 smart cam, the picture quality is remarkable. Its 110 wide angle lense allows you to capture a wide field of view at 1080p, enough to make out facial features and enables 8X digital zoom to objectively focus the camera.
The Camera has a 1/2.9″ CMOS sensor which enables motion detection with alerts that will alert your phone of any movement it picks up. Believe me when I say this, the motion detector is good enough to pick up flies, or the slightest movement of a curtain which became more of an annoyance over time.
After a motion is detected, it saves a 12 second video clip onto the Neos Smart Cam App which can either be downloaded or saved.
The app itself gives free indefinite cloud footage that saves clips for up to 14 days. Any clip that isn’t saved after 14 days gets deleted from the cloud.
The Camera also has night vision mode, which allows you to see up to 9 metres in total darkness. For its price, the night vision is one of the selling points that got me. The camera will also auto adjust to night vision if it senses darkness, and has the option to toggle it on or off in its app.
The Camera also enables 2-Way audio which allows you to listen or talk to the person on the other end using the SmartCam’s built in speaker and microphone.
The app allows you to take advantage of its “always on feature” which means that if you purchase the Neos Smart Cam’s Micro Sd card, you can record up to 48 hours worth of footage straight before having to wipe the cards memory again. This is something other Smart Cameras don’t do, and force you to pay a cloud subscription which can be expensive.
The most notable features of the camera itself is found in the app which gives you a variety of settings, notifications and other options.
The camera can also be paired with smart devices such as google home, alexa or television.
The only notable con of this Security Camera is the lengthy and intrusive sign up process.
Other than that, it is not water proof or intended for outside. However I found that it makes a good inexpensive alternative to a doorbell camera when cased inside a doorbell case with a doorbell sensor.
Overall, I would recommend this to anybody who is needs home security but doesn’t want to spend too much.
Spectacular at this price
Super little security camera at a great price I was sceptical when I brought this because it was so cheap however the quality of the picture in both day and night mode are exceptional at this price point.
This works with my amazon show 5 all you need to do is enable the skill with the Alexa app and your video feed can be displayed on the screen you can also access this camera from the smartphone app for both iOS and Android I have an iPhone and the app works flawlessly.
If movement is detected the camera records a 15 sec clip and uploads it to amazons cloud where it will stay for 15days allowing you to view it or download it onto your phone after 15 days clips are automatically deleted and this is all included free of charge unlike some more expensive cameras that require you buy a storage subscription.
I can’t this recommend enough

Easy to set up. Good quality.
Excellent camera. Very easy to set up and actually fun to do.
You can add micro sd card if you want constant 3 day recording else you need to set up ” sound and movement ” Recording and It will record these to the cloud (deleted after 7 days). Within the app.
Bought one initially and then added a second for the garage. It connects to 2.4gHz channel only.
Some people moaning about giving personal data. The app has a geo fence so when you’re out it’ll set up the “sound and movement” arm/disarm as and when you leave the house. It cannot do this if it doesn’t know your location.
Ok for the price!
It’s smart looking, a great stand which means it can be positioned quite well. But the sound quality (both ways) is awful, night vision is pretty poor to unless something is within a metre of the camera and not in pitch black. The picture during the day is okay, but would have expected better for 1080p still. The notifications are good and the app is good also.
Simple little cam
I was a bit put off at first considering it used to require your address and phone number, allegedly to do auto arm/disarm when you arrive or leave home. Now it’s been removed and you are able to choose the auto-disarm based on your phone GPS and it’s optional.
Pros:
The image quality is excellent. Crispy colours and a good angle of view enough to capture a full room wall to wall from a central point.
The night view is good too, the usual black and white with clear imaging.
The camera is a nice super small cube with an extending magnetic base which means you can easily place and adjust it anywhere, vertically and horizontally. You can even place it upside down.
The app works perfectly well, and is simple to use.
Comes with a white USB cable and plug, and is long enough.
Integrates with Alexa just fine. You can view the camera live feed almost real time (maybe 2-3 secs delay).
There’s 2-way audio!
It captures noises as well as motion.
Motion detector comes with face tracking, although not sure that means anything really.
Cons:
The motion detector is too sensitive and captures even the glare of the sun in my rooms.
The noise detector can be sensitive too, as my upstairs neighbour steps easily trigger it.
It’s such a good bargain I ended up buying a second one.

Home security with great features at a fraction of the cos
At 20 each these are a steal. I would recommend that these are used in a home with MESH wifi as they need a good strong signal.
Setup is relatively easy and the tech support and after sales team seem really keen to keep your custom. All app settings are done through an app (I’ve tested this on iOS) and it is stable and easy to use. It links with Amazon Alexa and through voice commands can show you the camera on you TV if you have a ‘fire tv’ device.
The camera records 12s snippets of video if motion or sound are detected and saves this to the cloud for free. It then stops for 5 minutes. If you want to record all video and audio an micro sd card can be insterted into the camera.
An option to store video to network attached storage would be great, however at the price the feature set is reasonable. considering NEST cameras are 6-7 times this price and that’s not factoring their very expensive cloud storage facilities.
Recommended.

Don't be put off by the price
I was not expecting much for this price tag but I was so wrong.
The unit itself is dinky and the base is magnetic which is very handy.
The camera is really easy to set up. You download the app, plug the camera in, get it ti read a QR code that the app produces and it is done.
The motion and sound detection system works really well and you can set the camera to arm and disarm using the gps on your phone.
The picture quality is great and the app is so easy to use. I am literally blown away by this product so I now have 2 of them.
Seems to be very good.
I have only had this camera for a few days so have not really had time to be in a position to give a full in depth review. However, one thing I can comment on is installation. I notice a few reviews stating that the reviewers met with problems at this stage. I can honestly say that I had no problems whatsoever, I downloaded the app from the Play Store to my phone and then followed instructions and everything worked first time – maybe I was lucky, I don’t know. First impressions are good, the camera shows a good quality picture, motion detection works very well indeed, the sound is okay and the night vision seems to be good. As for everyday use, I need to get more familiar with the software before commenting, so will return at at a later stage and update this review. All I will say is, so far anyway, I have no regrets, especially as I got it on an offer price of 19.99 inclusive.
Seems to be very good.
I have only had this camera for a few days so have not really had time to be in a position to give a full in depth review. However, one thing I can comment on is installation. I notice a few reviews stating that the reviewers met with problems at this stage.

I use Nest, Ring and Neos cameras. Nest is the best build but doesn’t integrate well with Alexa. Ring are great but expensive. This is a nice cheap little camera (it also looks and feels cheap). Picture quality is acceptable though the software is a little buggy. That said, support is great (though sometimes a little vague). Love the fact your recordings are free to store, but they’re very short – probably too short. My main beef is the alexa integration- it’s minimal. Sure you can view the camera on your echo show screen (though there can be a lag) but that’s about it. Neos were looking to integrate further by allowing routines (ie Alexa makes announcement and turns on lights if Camera detects motion) but these plans appear to have been shelved. Great if you want a cheap, fun camera in your house, but I wouldn’t really put it in the home security category and I’m surprised they sometimes bundle this camera with the echo show 5 given the limited Alexa integration. If things change, I’ll update this review
Absolutely love i
This camera is just brilliant. We have a house full of Nest Cams and got this free with home insurance. Was skeptical at first as used to Nest but after a simple install it was up and running and I was blown away. Great picture quality day and night, app works nicely and the fact you get 14 days cloud backup for nothing is amazing!! We used this to keep an eye on the dogs at night in their little house and loved it so much that went and brought another one for the garage. If you are reading this considering buying one I say go for it you won’t regret it.
Great value for money with a mediocre picture quality.
Grate value for money.
We now have 4 of those ( small kids at the house).
Good points:
– easy to setup. ( the app freezes when updating the firmware but you close the app and restart it and it works. Keep an eye on the led light on the camera.)
– app works good 99% of the time. Easy to use. Intuitive.
– currently using 64GB microSD card and works perfectly.
– Night vision and motion detection works perfectly ( unlike the Foscams they have now replaced).
– notifications on the phone are useful – if you need them.
– cannot get any cheaper!
– free 2 weeks storage on the cloud. Very useful future.
Bad points:
– Picture quality is poor. I compare it on the laptop (from the SDcard) to a 7 years old Foscam and there is a massive difference. Both are 1080p.
It still does the job but not as sharp as the Foscam.
– app drains the battery if you have location services on ( auto arm when not at home). I now arm it manually every day.
– cannot view the recordings on the SDcard unless you take the card out and put it in a laptop.
– microphone is quiet. Could be more louder. I can barely hear conversations 3 ft away from the camera.
– microphone sensitivity too high. ( sensitivity at minimum and I still get alerts when a truck drives in front of the house)
– app asks too many personal questions. Some may find it intrusive.
( i.e. exact address. They could have used location services instead)
For this price they are excellent. The app will hopefully improve soon.
Excellent camera for the price
[UPDATE]
– NEOs have decided to add in scheduling to arm/disarm the camera, but for the price of 3.49 a month. This seems like such a basic offering I cannot believe they would charge for it.
That’s a deal breaker for me and so now they’re going on ebay!
You do get extra cloud storage with that – something I’m not particularly interested in.
[Original review]
Firstly, this is an excellent camera for the price. The image quality is great, motion tracking works well and the speaker is loud enough for a 2 way conversation.
In response to the security concerns, you ARE required to provide your address on signup (although you could provide fake details), but you DO NOT need to provide access to your iPhone’s location, unless you want to use the auto arm / disarm feature. This is true for iPhone, but I haven’t tested Android.
When armed and motion is detected, the camera will send a notification to your phone. It will also record 12 seconds of footage and upload it to the cloud. It will then “cool down” for 5 minutes – it will stop recording and uploading. After 5 minutes have elapsed, it will record and upload again. However you can view the live video feed at any time via the app.
You CANNOT currently set the camera to auto arm/disarm according to a timed schedule so if you don’t want to share your phone’s location, you have to manually arm the camera via the app. Arming to a schedule would be a very welcome addition.
You can insert a Micro SD card into the camera and it will continuously record, while over-writing the oldest footage. Unfortunately you CANNOT access the footage from the app (although an update is promised later in the year to do this), so you have to remove the SD card and insert it into your computer.
Overall I am very impressed with the camera apart from the two issues mentioned above, which hopefully Neos will rectify soon!
Small but great value
Been looking to buy a camera for a while, saw these but was put off by the price, boy was I wrong! I liked the camera that much a bought another. Picture quality is very good but sound not so, although not tried it again so it might be ok since an update, it picks up noise ok but a bit tinny the other way.
Motion detection is good as are the notifications you get for them. I had one camera pointed out of a window to keep an eye on our car while away in Spain, kept getting notified when a car went passed our house. Setting up is ok and the app let’s you change the settings easily.
All in all, a great super value camera. For the price you can’t go wrong.
I ordered this camera from Amazon after checking out Wyze cam on US store and thinking that I am ordering a Wyze cam. After struggling couple of hours to setup the cam with Wyze app did I realise it infact was not a Wyze cam 🙁
Fast forward 30 minutes and I have a fully set up Neos camera. I’ve tested most of the features including CO & smoke detector (careful here – cam will only detect the sound made by your existing detectors. Don’t expect it to function as a full CO & smoke detector). For the functionalities this camera offers and its well made design, I am loving every bit of the original mistake I have made. Its worth it in every respect. Amazing!!
My only moan for now is lack of IFTTT channel. Without this, there is no much automation capabilities with this product. I plan to use it as part of my home security and automation is very important for me. Reading about the way this company has come so far, I am sure IFTTT integration is just a question of When.
Great cameras at an unbeatable price point.
Great picture quality. Very easy to set up. I would knock off Half a star though, for a couple of missing options which would make these little cameras unbeatable. 1. I’d like to be able to set the area where I want it to detect motion. I’ve got a Neos camera looking into my driveway and it detects every car that passes the gate. The option to restrict the detection zone would be great and reduce “false” activations . 2. The cameras can only deal with one detection every 5 minutes, fine in most circumstances but not ideal. That said, they are brilliant and I’m optimistic that future updates might introduce new features, as the same cameras (with a different name) are popular in the other side of the Atlantic, and have the features which I’d like to see added here. Just buy one (I’ve got 4).
I like to call myself a tech guy and this camera for the price is amazing, it took 5 min to set up and the quality even in night vision is fantastic. Thank you very much Neos
Great Value Camera.
I bought this camera to survey the car park outside my house (thro window) I just switched off IR lights coz they will reflect off glass. Street lighting ample for good video. Cloud recording excellent,but I still inserted SD card which stores one minute clips for about aweek in SD. Oldest clips deleted to make room for new ones. I do hope the helpful guys at NEOS will enable SD viewing direct from camera as they have said they hope to do soon. Also,it would be great to be able to view on Windows PC. I would gladly pay for an upgraded app to enable these additional features. All in all, these are great cameras and I am going to order another one. Highly recommended. ( Come on Neos, add the extra features for us !!) Thanks.
Addendum July 2020:
I am amending my original review from 1 star to 4, in recognition of the fact that Neos did make changes to their mobile application which addressed enough of my privacy concerns for me to not only begin using the camera I initially purchased but to go on to purchase an additional three other units.
The primary issue that I identified in my initial review was rectified some time later. It is now possible to add cameras to your setup by specifying Wifi networking details manually and thus avoid the need to give the Neos mobile application access to Location services on your mobile phone. Since I’d already signed-up for a Neos account which was still active, I can’t comment as to what personal information may now need to be provided there, or otherwise.
I feel it also fair to add that now I’ve been using them for 6+ months, I am extremely impressed with the performance and functionality of the cameras. I think the best endorsement I can offer is that, as mentioned, I’ve gone on to purchase and deploy 3 further devices on my property.
Note: if you choose to install cameras externally (which I fully acknowledge is not the manufacturer’s intended use-case) it has been my experience that; a) night vision mode relies upon not having a cover over the lens ring which will cause massive reflection of the IR lighting, obscuring the camera’s view and b) you will get continual triggering from moths etc., so you’ll end up disabling motion tracking on those cameras due to the amount of false alarms.
Original Review:
In short, as others have already noted, in order to even setup a camera for first use the app demands far too much private information that it has no technical need for. Yes, I understand that the “auto-arming” feature requires location services to be enabled on my phone. However this is also described as an optional feature, which can be disabled. Therefore there is absolutely no need to insist that my location is given away, just be to be able add a camera. What happened to the simple option of entering my wireless network’s SSID manually? Combine that with its insistence on having me provide a street address during initial online account registration (I ‘borrowed’ one from a famous UK landmark..) and it just leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. Shame, on paper it looks incredible value but the user experience is ruined for me by the company’s insistence on collecting private information which it has no legitimate or necessary use for. And yes, I’m aware that Neos has recently posted comments addressing this issue to the effect that they are “looking into” making it possible to pair the camera without location services. Weasel words. This should have been implemented out of the gate if they really had any regards for, or common sense surrounding, user privacy concerns.

This is probably the best camera under 100 in the world. I’ve bought it to monitor my kitchen but now I am thinking of buying another 3 for the whole house.
Update** Neos boost paid upgrade addresses many of the comments in my original review, well done for listening to customer comments.
Original review Neos SmartHome great response to queries on Facebook. excellent picture quality. Supposed to be indoors only but can record out windows but needs to be in intimate contact to avoid glare from night vision leds.
Good motion detection. However, potential buyers be aware that Neos records 12s of video to cloud and then has a 5 minute cool off period before recording again. This means that the burglars can run round and round your house and not be recorded to cloud.
Apparently a SD card will record all events but this is only useful after the robbery and assumes that the Neos has not been stolen. Still great value for 20 but need to be aware of this limitation. Neos seem to be listening to customer feedback so outdoor variants, longer recording times may be added as an evolution of the product.

Great for the price: setup needs care
I have now bought three of these, so obviously I think they are good. Setup is a bit sensitive to distance from the WiFi hub, though. I had a few problems, then moved closer to the hub, where set up worked fine, then moved the camera to its intended position, where it still worked fine.
A great product for the price, though
Fantastic camera and app!
This camera is fantastic, high resolution picture quality, really great value and comprehensive feature set comparable to cameras worth several hundred pounds! The app works really well and is easy to use. I especially like the auto-arming that automatically detects whether you are home (based on your address) and arms or disarms the camera recording functionality and notifications. Night vision and motion detection works really well and I like the green box in the app that focuses where the motion has been seen. It also works with Alexa Spot Integration – just ask to show a specific room the video pops up on screen. The potential for this system is super exciting and I’ve ordered another 4 to position around my flat. Highly recommended!
I’ve been a Neos user for some time now, and their cameras are great value. Reassuring to know
Neos use European based servers, which is something you wouldn’t find in similar priced cameras from China!
I have one pointing out the window. I have done this by using the metal plate and sticky pad supplied with the camera, and applied it to the window.
REVIEW UPDATE – Aug 2020
I’ve just added the new Neos Smart Motion Kit and Smart Leakbot Kit’s to the Neos platform. Thoroughly impressed with the product quality, and ease of setting up!
The leak sensors are massively useful, and I got one positioned under the kickboard under the kitchen sink. So much so, that It’s already alerted me to the kitchen sink overflowing! What a saviour.
One Negative, we need better integration like Alexa Routines…. or google home!
Great camera packed with all the features (and more) of cameras 5x it’s value.
Had x2 Nest cam indoors for around 12 months at 129 each, and while they are great cameras, I’ve never been a fan of a subscription to get at my recorded footage.
Enter the Neos Smart cam, all the features of a 129 Nest cam indoor but at 1/5th of the price how could you say no?
Great daytime and night vision image quality, motion and noise detection that is adjustable in sensitivity or just turn it off completely, onboard SD card storage allowing constant recording, app is a little quirky but I believe updates are on the cards, setup is completed in 2mins tops, although the firmware update hangs for an eternity, force closing and restarting the app after 5mins cured this.
And the biggest positive for myself is absolutely no subscription to access footage.(upto 14 days old)
I’m so happy with them I’ve sold my 2 Nest cams and brought 3 of these with change to spare.
Fantastic piece of kit! Very easy to setup and put in place. Picture quality is very very good and the sound is clear. Night vision is amazing!! If you have a room that goes pitch black (that you can’t even see your hand in front of your face) really pitch black! Then this will not disappoint. I placed mine inside my garage to keep an eye on the garage door to make sure my son shuts it (see attached photos ). Camera came well packaged and with short but very easy detailed instructions, usb cable power adapter (similar to apple) and mounting plate if needed.

Camera's now work as intended.
Product worked great for two days. Now can only connect to cameras by WiFi. Will not live streem over mobile which makes the product useless as I still get notified of movement or noise at home but cannot get a picture to see what is happening.
Update: 25.11.19
Cameras work fine now. Only now they have added more functions except to use any off the new functionality you have to pay a monthly charge.
Don’t be put off by the review stating you need to give over your phone number, and location for no reason! The phone number during signup is, in fact, optional and doesn’t need to be provided! The location is asked for but isn’t again isn’t needed to use the camera! The location is used so that it is able to auto arm the motion detection which is again optional!
As for the camera itself, it is well built and small enough to stick in a corner and forget about, love how easy it is to setup up too.
Having the additional option to put in a MicroSD card to keep recording longer is a massive positive too.
For the price, I can’t complain and in fact going to purchase more, not just for security reasons but use them as a way to monitor my 3D prints to make sure they don’t fail.
Bottom line don’t hesitate!

I was looking for a smart camera for two reasons 1 – to watch our dog whilst out and 2 – as an added part of security for our home. I had looked at the Nest cameras and other high end cameras for a while and always put off the price point. I don’t mind paying 100+ for smart home tech, but when you need to buy multiples for each room it is too much money. These cameras are fab and do everything the high end ones do. I bought two and they were super easy to set up, I had a couple of questions on the motion/noise detection along with the auto arming and customer service chat via the app was super helpful and quick. I’m actually astounded at the quality of these little cameras for such a low price point. I hope the company continues to develop its functions with specifically something like enabling time scheduling for auto arming to come on. With regards to putting in your address details as some others have moaned about, this is for the location auto arming to come on when you leave home and then turns off when you return. I may buy another couple next month!
Considering how much all other smart home cameras cost, this is an absolute bargain. The box has the camera, wall plug, USB charging cable, a silver magnetic disc to hold it and adhesive strip. When it comes to smart home cameras, what’s really important is the app it comes with and it does exactly what you’d want it to do.
Set up was easy, the camera has a relatively wide angled lens to see more, and it links to your mobile location to auto activate the motion control on/off if you want.
The only negative is that it doesn’t work with Google Home hub at the moment. Not a biggie though, as most people will mainly be buying it to record/monitor whilst you’re out of the house.
I had 3 weeks ago bought the Chinese “Clever Dog” camera which was a complete waste of time as it constantly froze and was loosing Wi-Fi connection regularly and when it did work the live stream was juddery and glitchy even tho I have Vigin super fast vivid 200 broadband with Wi-Fi extenders around the house, eventually I got so fed up of it and returned it to seller for a refund
However I bought this little miracle Neos Camera last week from Neos a Uk company after checking out the American version (wyze) on Youtube , and MUST say what a fantastic piece of high tech camera, it is easy to set up, so easy to use, the camera and the app quality are amazing!
I am so pleased with this Camera and quality I bought 5 more, 6 in total and they all work very well no issues at all, clear video streaming, App works fine …… honestly this Camera is the best for price and functionality, you can’t go wrong
Great work Team, just hope you maintain the App and keep improving your Camera and offer more devices to work with the App
**** DONT DISSAPPEAR in the future and leave us deserted in the future please *****
Now works with Alexa!!!
Ps…. I have already shown to friends and family and you will see a further increase in sales this coming week. :0)

Nice compact camera, easy to set up, good instructions. The base is magnetic and a metal base is provider with sticker so can be attached to any surface. Power lead is long enough and flat so not obtrusive. Picture quality really clear. Sound quality excellent so picks up movement and noise. Especially like the fact it’s now connected to my Apple Watch which buzzes when there is any movement. Great value would recommend.
I work in IT and my home is filled with gadgets and I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with this camera.
The app is excellent, feels like a lot of time and effort has gone into making it. The build quality of the camera itself is very good too. Really impressed that videos really are stored using end to end encryption, details are in the FAQ.
Love the auto arming motion detection feature
Edit: I’ve had the camera for just over 1 week now and fairly acquainted with it. Still very impressed overall. A few extra things I’d like:
Control over app notifications, I don’t want a notification every time I leave the house and the camera arms itself.
The ability to exclude areas from night vision detection. My TV triggers night vision on and off quite often.
I’ll update this review as and when the app and functionality is updated.
The quality and functionality for the price is awesome. Wanted something to keep an eye on the dog when I’m at work and this was simple to set up and easy to use. The app is a bit buggy but this is a new product and can only improve. Intending to add more cameras in the future. You can tell from the packaging and the extra in the box these people are really thinking about their product. Well done.
