## Review summary

Overall sentiment is mixed: the hardware can deliver good day/night video and supports sharing across devices, but widespread issues dominate. Recurring drawbacks include intrusive ads, connectivity/setup problems, privacy concerns from heavy permissions and data sharing, complex setup, and cloud/paid features that limit functionality.

### Pros

- Reliable camera with good image quality day and night.
- Easy sharing of the feed across multiple devices.
- Some users report it does what it's supposed to for basic monitoring.

### Cons

- Intrusive pop-up ads introduced in updates; difficult to close and cannot be disabled.
- Frequent connectivity and linking problems (cannot connect, offline status, weak signal, wifi/password issues).
- Privacy and data collection concerns due to excessive permissions and potential data sharing (e.g., location, photos, Facebook integration).
- Setup is complex with invasive permissions and confusing troubleshooting.
- Cloud/paid features for recording access; perceived as misleading or behind a paywall.
