Great to have when you're out of the house
Have ours pointing onto the driveway. Constant pings throughout the day as it picks up movement. Nice to know the house is safe and know whats going on. Would highly recommend.
This camera is pretty good. The betattery life without being plugged in is very low, under 1 hour.
The picture is quite clear both in light and when it’s dark. The motion detection is very good and you can choose a direct area to monitor to avoid picking up pets or other smaller areas.
You can set up timed schedules, which is good, but not great for people who work shifts as this obviously moves across days/weeks.
Pairing with a door sensor is good so when a door opens the camera recordings, but it would be better if it were able to stop monitoring after a period of inactivity.
Aesthetically attractive, this tiny little camera is really impressive. It sends short notification videos to my phone/iPad of any sound or motion detected. Good night vision monitoring and very clear daytime pictures. My previous security camera was unreliable and often went offline which was pretty useless, also it would only work with WiFi. The only criticism is the high price, but I suppose you get what you pay for.
A very versatile home camera for Hive
Brilliant addition to our ability to monitor our pet dog when we are not there and which seamlessly links in with our Hive and Alexa.
Night vision is awesome with an impressive field of view and the ability to mike in on Live View is clever. The colour rendition is pretty awesome too.
A great camera which suits our needs 100%. It also adds another dimension to our home’s CCTV system when we are away and the ability to set schedules etc is very handy.
Great camera, needs tiny tweeks
Great quality build. Easy to set up. Great motion detection and sound quality. Easy to use app.
My only two criticisms are the notifications aren’t as instant as I would want and the ‘live view’ dropped out quite regularly and wouldn’t auto connect up again. The drop out I can forgive as maybe it’s my WiFi but the auto connect should be a standard feature.

Over the last 4 yrs I’ve used many different security / safety products including 4 different makes of cameras. This has been to wrap a technology ‘care blanket’ around a vulnerable person with failing health. As different challenges arise so solutions have been sought. CCTV has become integral to ensuring the person’s safety and wellbeing. Hive is one of several solutions but by far the best. Product quality is very high and it delivers. The only one tiny criticism is that you need a Hive subscription via British Gas who hold the data on their ‘cloud’. I’m not at all a fan of subscription based services as it takes away independence and your reliant on Big Brother.
That said this camera as another of my Hive add-ons is very good. Set up is easy, picture quality both light and dark is high and appearance is nice. As part of the overall Hive set up it offers flexibility as you can customise it to deliver notifications or to interact with other Hive products such as motion sensors or light bulbs. Overall Hive itself is definitely a market leader in so called Smart Home technology and I do recommend i
High Recommended
Although it’s for inside monitoring I’ve positioned mine inside looking out through a landing window. It works really well. Enhanced night vision switched on seems a worse image than not switched on?
Overall – I highly recommend.

Just the ticke
All works ok, don’t use the night vision if you have security lights or if the camera is filming through a window but good little camera.

Excellent baby camera!!!!
Makes a superb baby monitor!!! Baby cameras are a stupid price for what they are and low quality, so I purchased a second one to use as a baby monitor. Later I will use it in the house. We use a baby sound a movement system as well (FYI) when baby cries we just look at phone hive. It’s perfect and won’t have to sell it on eBay after baby is grown up.
Camera is super quality and as long as you have a WiFi extender or router close by all is good.
Good if you are already in the Hive eco system
The camera is very useful, you can use it for surveillance, check up on your pets or check in on your property whilst away. Set up is pretty straight forward and even easier if you have the Hive system already. Simply use the app to connect the camera to the hub, follow the on screen instructions and you’re away in no time. You use the app to control the camera and set up your routines and automations.
The camera has sound and motion sensors. The camera can distinguish between pets and humans, this is very handy for those who have pets and don’t want the sensors being continuously triggered by their cats or dogs. You can set it so you get notifications on your phone (or even smart watch) via the app and also by email. The app’s notification is more instant and the email notification less so.
The best thing about this camera is that you can use the camera with other Hive products like door sensor, lights, smart plug etc. You can use them together for integrated functionality eg If the camera captures a motion or spots an intruder you automate it so it turns on the lights. Unlike some of it competitors the Hive View comes with free access to your recordings for 24 hours, meaning you have access to any recordings captured by the camera for 24 hours, if this isn’t enough you can pay 5 a month for 30 day access.
The camera itself is really good, it’s well designed, it’s sleek and stylish with a nice black and brushed copper finish. It looks inconspicuous placed in the background and the only thing that gives it away is the infrared light. It has good features like night vision, wide angle view, 2 way audio and good clear picture quality. However it is let down by a few things eg. The hub sometimes loses connection meaning you wont receive notifications from the camera. The camera can be used without being mounted or plugged in, but the battery will only last an hour. The camera is also very pricey, almost like you’re being punished for buying into the Hive system. At the time of writing this there is no google or Alexa support only IFTTT.
If you’re in need of a smart security camera and you already have the Hive system then you should give this a go, other wise there are other options out there with similar features that are much cheaper. Hope this helps.
Stylish cameras with good picture quality, battery life could be bette
Stylish cameras with good picture quality and easy to set up. We are using the camera to monitor an elderly relative using live mode. Have not used the motion detection yet.

Provides great piece of mind over your property
Really pleased with this item. We have Facing down the garden from inside. The only problems that it can get reflections off the window so may change to the external camera at some point. Perfect for our needs and provides great price of mind over property when you are not there.

It has a good wide angle lens - you dont deed to control the camera positio
There are frequent problems connecting to this “oops something went wrong”
No good for continuous monitoring – connection drops out after a time
Microphone works well
Speaker not so good (too small)
1 day video storage is useful but it should be able to store on a local drive on a laptop or PC
Great quality of build, very helpful features
I’ve been using 3 cameras for about 4 months and I am incredibly satisfied.
One inside my home:
-The build quality of the base and the camera feels super nice and blends well with my home.
-Image quality and latency is great.
-The grab and go feature is a killer, using it all the time, e.g. when cooking to get tips from parents.
2 I’ve put in my family’s business’s warehouse (AV equipement rental):
-Love the thumbnails alerts (when I get an alarm, facial recognition sends me their face so I don’t have to unlock the phone and go through the video).
-Also love that I get an alert when the internet or power goes down.
-Night vision works very well
-Scheduling is super easy
Overall I feel you get excellent value for what you pay for, would recommend.
Amazing camera
Amazing little camera easy to set up and records a large field of view in 1080p. You can even watch the live feed. Hope it’s get update to allow use on Mac as tablet & phone are good but not very practical.
Excellent choice

24hrs free cloud recording makes it a top pick

Great Value, simple to set up, easy to use.
Purchased this as wanted to be able to check on house while away on holiday etc. Ok, it does not act as a deterrent but it does let you check that your house is ok and it does send you a message by email or text (your choice) if it detects any people inside the room or area covered. It also lets you use your phone or ipad to view the area being monitored at any time, night or day. Fantastic value for money and does the job of far more expensive CCTV.
Not so sue now! Left it detection switched off overnight and this morning could not get it to work. Difficult to get help, only way appears to be by LIVE CHAT. Advisor was not really able to help. It had crashed and needed to be reset. Once reset I had difficulty reconnecting Bluetooth. Hive App stopped working. In the end I uninstalled the App, switched the camera off, waited for the battery to run down then reinstalled from scratch. No works except can’t see anything in the dark!
Grea
I have two of these and feel so much safer and secure. They’re great although if you’re viewing the outdoors from inside you’ll get reflections from the window glass and no view of the outside – get the outdoors camera instead for this.

Excellent Produc
This was easy to install and set up, we use it in out kitchen to watch over our fur babies (dogs) when we go out, the audio, although not great allows us to re-assure them. Overall a really good product.

I got one of these shortly after installing the Hive thermostat and only then, when it was on offer at around the 120 mark – at 189 it is WAY overpriced. The primary use is for home monitoring whilst away and the reason I went with this one (rather than any other) was the stability and integration with the Hive ecosystem and this, I have to say, is flawless. It is super-stable and just works. It also looks great too and the image quality is first class – even when live-streaming. Compared with a similar Swann indoor wireless camera I bought a few years ago, the quality difference is night and day.
Having said this, I have just purchased an 8-channel, heat detecting, IP66 waterproof, night-vision Swann CCTV system with 1TB HDD for around the same price as just this camera alone (when on sale at full price)! This Swann system also allows for remote monitoring, playback, snapshots, event recording, etc. – just no audio. To me, this illustrates just how overpriced the Hive cameras are. Think of them as the “Apple” of the security camera world!
Please also be aware that you cannot just record what you want whenever you want on this camera (which I didn’t realise when I purchased it) – it will only record automatically when it detects either a person or a sound (or both). Having said this, it does do this really well and has only give two false alerts and recording so far in around one month of constant use. You should also know that it only retains recordings for a rolling 24 hours – if you want more than this you have to pay a subscription (around 3.99 per month) for 30 day rolling history on up to two cameras. Again, I didn’t realise this when I purchased it. Compare that with my 1TB Swann HDD on up to 8 cameras (which has enough space for around a years’ worth of event recording before it starts to overwrite) and you can see how the Hive system is not the cheapest or most cost-effective way to get into the home security monitoring game.
Would I buy another? Yes. Why? Because they look very stylish for indoor use, the picture quality is superb, they are super-stable and they integrate so well into the rest of the Hive ecosystem. I would wait until they come down in price or on offer again as any more than 100 is pretty steep in my opinion. If I wanted lots of cameras (more than two) for indoor and outdoor use with the ability to record what I want, when I want (as well as auto-detect people and vehicles) and its own built-in storage (in addition to cloud-based and remote access) then there are better, more cost effective ways of getting set up.
Cute & Mobile!
Excellent if you already have Hive installed! These are only indoor and two cameras was enough for me! Outdoor camera not needed! Did not sign up for monthly storage as will record any incident using another phone Half the price of a previous quote! Neat & Mobile.
Great monitoring system
Really easy to set up – love the alert system and playback mode.

Good quality Hive additio
eally good quality and sound, easy set-up, only thing that’s annoying is its not supported on the Mac/pc yet, only access via phone app. Bought in Black Friday for 109, but at 189 normal price, its a bit expensive.
Fantastic!
Way to set up. Excellent images. Considering buying further items in this range as they have. Uncles that you can pay for over the year on the hive website. Got for 109 in the Black Friday sale to use as a baby monitor but it’s so much more.

More expensive than most but worth it.
I already have Hive for my heating and hot water so installation was already done, which was the main reason for buying them. I have 2 covering the front and back entrances and it’s easy to set up an action on my phone so that I can turn both on with one action when I go out and one action to turn both off. I’ve set the action so that when I go out the cameras are on, and when motion is detected three lights, 2 in one room and one upstairs (also Hive) switch on, I get a notification on my phone and can look to see who’s in my home. The night vision is good, picture quality is excellent and the wide angle lets me cover pretty well the whole room. Not only can you see and hear any intruder, you can shout at them as well!!

A little bit overpriced so I bought a nearly new one. But beware if you do buy second hand be sure you have confirmation that the camera has been unlinked from previous owners hub. Because once it’s registered with one hive hub account it won’t install on another until its been unregistered.

Amazing quality camera really pleased with my purchase. I was lucky enough to purchase in prime sale, was easy to set up and I now have peace of mind when I leave my dogs for the day. I can tune in and watch them and also know if they were barking, as camera reacts to noise as well as motion. It has a surprising field of vision, and when it is looking at the back doors can see clearly far into the garden. It’s great you can zoom in too from your smart device. It looks modern and fits in on the shelf with rest of home decor. It’s amusing watching the dogs relaxing in the house when I’m at work, I have even spoken to them via the sound option!
Good, but a bit expensive
Does exactly what it said it would, although, these days, slightly expensive compared to similar quality products

As an internet camera designed to be used indoors, this is a great item and works easily with the rest of the other Hive products. Easy to set up, modern looking, and a good quality image, if you’re out and about or on holiday and you want to check up on your property, then just reach for your phone, open the Hive app and pop it on and you can see what’s happening back home. There is a zoom function and you can talk to people and hear their reply through the camera.
I have a few criticisms however: firstly, it’s expensive. There are much cheaper options out there. Secondly, much is made of the ability to remove the cube shaped device from its mount and stick it in another location for a short while, but the internal battery only lasts about an hour which is of little or no use. You do also have the option however of simply removing the camera from the stand and simply placing the little cube shaped camera directly on a shelf or unit WITHOUT using the stand at all! There is a micro connector on the camera itself so you can plug it in and use it this way instead. Mine is positioned at the end of my sound bar near my TV and it’s hardly noticeable. The power supply needs to be connected on the underside but you can simply position the camera “upside down” so the power supply is now on the top, then rotate your viewings/recordings 180 degrees via the app! Very clever!
Finally, and probably the most important factor to consider, is that unless you have a pet to check up on, or feel the need to spy on the kids, generally, there’s not much point to it. I mean, you’re on holiday, you switch it on to check on your home and see an empty room. Is that it? A bit of an unnecessary impulse purchase if i’m honest, but still a stylish and reliable piece of kit.
Great camera. Very easy set up
Great camera. Very easy set up. Easy to move around. Picture quality is fantastic and the app integration is also very good.
Once set up I like being to keep an eye on my disabled wife when I have to leave the home. I like the upgrade to two way audio. I disliked the set up as my online attempt was difficult. I needed to speak to a customer service agent.
It is a lot for what it does compared to other products on the market even when in the Sales.
It kept dropping the connection when first installed, but fitting a plug in wifi booster quite close to it, seemed to solve that problem (running on android phone).
Picture quality seems pretty good even on lower settings and you can zoom in on elements of the picture. It does have a small fish eye effect lens, to allow I assume the widest possible view. Its handy because it works with all the other Hive devices (main reason I paid the premium for it) within the hub software (unlike the previous Hive camera which was a standalone device).
I have no real purpose for this other than looking in my empty office when out but works grea

This is a real mixed bag, in some ways it is excellent but in others frustrating. Firstly it is very expensive, you can get some very clever security cameras for a lot less and even some whole CCTV solutions with multiple cameras however the initial impressions are good. It is well packaged and supplied with a USB power adapter, a generous length USB to Micro USB (3M approx) the camera itself, basic instructions and a rather clever magnetic stand. This can be sat or fixed to a flat object with rubber feet to stop scratching, attached to a metal surface via the magnetic base, or wall-mounted. The camera attaches via a magnet and is securely located but able to move up and down as well as easily removable while the stand rotates and moves independently around its base.
All the components feel well made and solid it all together it looks very stylish for a security/monitoring camera although it is for indoors only and is not IP rated for external use. The instructions are very basic with no troubleshooting guide and just say log into Hive online, register and download the application from either the Apple store or Google Play depending on which flavour of mobile you use. Note that you need to use the app to configure or access the device as it is not supported on the website portal, also you do not need to be a Hive customer with a Hive Hub to use this device as it is independently managed from the rest of the Hive environment, more of which later. So after downloading the Hive Camera App, I tried to set it up without success on both Apple and Android devices. It was only after a number of hours messing around I realised this was for the previous Hive Camera and the Hive View Smart Camera is driven off the separate main Hive app. This is not made clear in the instructions, the app itself or on the Q&As and I cannot believe I will be alone in making this error.
Once set up the camera began to shine with very good image quality at 720p or 1080p, a wide field of view and a very sensitive microphone. This can be useful as the camera could pick up someone breaking glass for example and it even picked up the hum of our Fridge/Freezer although the sensitivity can be adjusted or turned off. At night, the camera’s infrared turns on with the footage was of good quality capturing enough detail to see someones face for example. You can easily able to pull the camera off its stand and place it where you want to monitor a different part of your house or if you want to monitor something remotely. There is a built-in battery that lasts about an hour or you can charge the camera via its own micro-USB port, you even receive an email when the battery is running low which is a nice feature.
However the more I used the app the more I got frustrated by its limitations. There is currently no integration with other Hive devices or with any third party applications such as IFTTT so it cannot be used to turn on smart lights automatically for example and there is no Alexa integration either. Notifications are pushed to your smartphone and you can also choose to send them via email but if you want them via SMS you need to sign up for Hive Live, which costs 2.99 a month. Hive View comes with 24-hour cloud recording included and you can upgrade to 30-days of storage for 4.99 a month. The camera uploads footage to the cloud only when an event has been triggered but when it is there you can only view it. There is no way to download the video I can find, which will be key in the event of a break-in although I suppose you can take screenshots off your phone. This along with a couple of random crashes and disconnections as well as constantly having to enable video after making changes made it far more frustrating than it should have been.
Overall this feels like a work in progress. The hardware itself while very expensive does seem to be very good quality but the application and integration are lacking which spoils the experience and usability. With this improved along with a way to access and download captured video, this camera will start to justify its price.
Edit: The application now seems much more stable and they have added a zoom feature which is a big improvement. There are now some basic actions that can be triggered by the camera such as boosting heating or turning on a fan or light. This is dependant on having Hive compatible devices but this makes the camera much more useful in a Hive ecosystem. It is still expensive and I can not see a simple way to access the video captured but with the latest developments, it makes much more sense now.
