Quality device, quality customer service Yes you can get cheaper cameras, but you get what you pay for. These cameras are beautifully designed, well made and the software works. Even more important one of mine developed a fault a long time after the warranty expired. Their support team was very helpful and when they could not get it working again…they sent me a replacement free of charge. Yes they are higher cost, but in the long run they may well save you money. Highly recommended.
Very Impressive! I bought the camera to add to my existing Hive heating setup.
Installation was probably the best, most simple affair that I’ve ever experienced setting up a camera. It really was as easy as a couple of button presses in the Hive app and there we go, beautiful clear image and zero messing around with complicated settings. Credit where its due, Hive has done a fantastic job at making the installation easy.
So the unit its-self seems very well made, it has a good weight to it and feels as though it is fairly premium in the materials of its construction. The image in day light is really good, very clear and good colour representation. Image during the evening is also reasonably clear, obviously not as sharp as in day light but very acceptable.
The responsiveness of the image in the Hive app is great, very little lag on my 26mbps broadband connection and also the sound implementation is a good bonus.
I’m very happy with the camera, have it set up as a weather cam as I live out of town and prefer the security to know that in the winter I can attempt to drive home from work (we get snowed in/out a lot up here!). The set up was absolutely not a problem or complication at all – really easy and straight forward. I may even purchase another!
Impressive Ki Bought three of these for the house and they are performing really well. The first took a bit of faffing around to get sorted as it would connect to the WiFi (I have an internal booster system) but managed to sort it out. After that the remaining two hooked up easily. They work great, record well and great having 2-way sound (although the speaker – perhaps understandably – is not brilliant). Does what it says on the tin and so far uber/reliable.
The Apple of indoor security cameras I have the Hive thermostat and love the ability to control the heating effortlessly from my phone. I’d been hankering after this camera for a while, partly because it’s so beautiful! I was lucky to spot a 99 deal which is the cheapest I’ve ever seen it, so I went for it. The love starts when you unpack the box – as good as Apple packaging – and continues through the ease of set up. I use it to monitor my cats’ behaviour at night, so I was pleased to be able to set timer sequences. Playback is easy to access and seamless – so much better than my old Samsung SmartCam. 24 hour free recording is more than enough for me, but it’s slightly annoying that you have to pay a subscription for more. The only reason I haven’t given 5 stars all round is that one of my cats somehow manages to evade it sometimes at night, so I’m playing around with the sensitivity and sound settings. You can also focus on certain zones. It’s pretty enough to sit on the mantelpiece, which gives a great view of the living room. Overall, I’m delighted
Great - works in tandem with other Hive products Have linked-up several of these – throughout my home – and I’m not disappointed. I can see everything, everywhere when not at home so they offer ‘great security’ and alert me if they detect noise/movement which is unusual.
