It works, but definitely not ideal
By H-Bar
See update below ** Feb 5 2014 **
Purchased a week ago. Setup was fairly simply. Viewing live feed on web app works great. Alarm notifications to Android app appear to be reliable. I can make out sound on the Android app feed. It's not ideal, but for the price I can live with it. Now the problems.
1. The camera is supposed to (I believe) save a picture to go along with the alarm. On the web site, and Android app, all I see is a broken link icon where a picture is supposed to be. Yes, I know there was an alarm triggered, but I have no way of determining what caused it.
2. Connecting my camera to Google account does not work. Same goes for my Twitter account (for alert notification only). So I have no way of seeing what the camera saw in the past.
3. The interior daytime picture has a purple hue. Not sure why. It's clear and reasonably sharp, but the color is really strange.
4. The interior nighttime picture isn't bad (considering the room is completely dark). When the camera IR lights are on, I am wondering if some of them are burnt out. Not sure how many there are supposed to be, but they don't completely circle the camera. There appear to be only 6 lights, but it seems there should be 8. Hopefully Tech Support can clarify.
Based on the above, I give it 3 stars. If I can get some of these items corrected, I will change my rating appropriately.
I plan to call tech support about the problems. They are only open during the week, and I installed the camera, and wrote this summary, on the weekend. Check back for an update later this week.
** Update Feb 5 2014 to numeric items above
1. See note #2 below. Once my camera made friends with Google, there is now an icon for both You Tube and Picasa (that I can click on to get a picture/video of what triggered the alarm), as well as the alarm time.
2. This past Monday I received an email out of the blue from You-Tube stating that I have successfully uploaded a video! It was from my camera. Apparently an alarm was triggered, and it uploaded a pic and video to Google. I have NO IDEA why the connection to my Google account started working, but it did. The last feedback I received from the camera software was that it was unable to connect to my account. Well, it was a nice but unexpected surprise.
3. This has not changed. Picture clarity is still good (both daytime and nighttime with IR). Color is just off.
4. I called the Samsung tech support line about the IR lights. I only had to wait a few minutes to speak with a fairly knowledgeable person who spoke great english. I mentioned that there was not a complete ring of IR lights circling the camera eye - just an incomplete or "C" shaped circle of 6 red IR lights. I told him I was concerned some were burnt out (to make it a complete or "O" shaped circle). He at first quickly stated the IR lights should make a complete circle, but after checking with (I guess) some of his associates in the room, he came back to say there should be only 6 lights making a "C" shaped circle. I still wonder if he is right. I'll have to do some searching on the internet to see if I can get independent confirmation.
Additional notes:
a) The motion detection seems to be either too sensitive, or not sensitive enough. On the web-based setup screen, there is a slider bar to adjust the sensitivity setting, but it appears there are only a few pre-set marks that you can move the slider to between the farmost left and farmost right positions - it's not infinitely adjustable between the leftmost and rightmost setting. So if you need completely reliable motion detection, this may not be the item for you.
b) I recently had power outages due to winter weather storms. Every time the power came back on, the camera quickly reconnected to the Wi-Fi network.
c) The Android app is nice, and you can quickly pull up your camera (it can handle multiple cameras), and see AND HEAR what the camera is seeing and hearing.
d) It also has a sound detection alarm setting that I have not used. I guess it would be good for detecting a window breaking, etc. I have not used it because I have dogs, and they would be setting the alarm off all day with their barking every time a deer or squirrel walked by.
Since the whole Google thing is now working, I'm increasing my rating to 4-stars. It's not AT ALL a perfect camera, but you can't beat the features FOR THE PRICE.

Fast shipping and does exactly as described
By Rich N
Giving it 5/5 because it's does exactly as described plus fast shipping. There's clear instructions on how to setup the camera properly. Within 10 minutes, it was up and running. Straightforward and easy. Recommended if you are looking for a no hassle product and added security to your home.

Good Product
By Stevo
I use this product to monitor my pets when I'm away. The cam does everything it's advertised to do well. It is easy to set up, easy to access the live feed, and the price is right. Hard argue against the value here.
Ordered on Saturday 12/21 and arrived in time for Christmas!
