I was looking at another system just like this one that cost more. Super glad I bought this one! I put it up in a matter of minutes and had it running. The app runs well on my iPhone. I love that it has seven days of recorded time. When you view the days events, it will jump too each events that have been recorded or you can scroll back to anytime you want to view. It does seem to record on a slight delay when there is an event. Would be nice if they could upgrade the system to catch the event as it's happening so you don't get the back of the delivery person's head. Hopefully it's a delivery person not somebody trying to break in. The batteries seem to last depending on how many events that happened. Looks like it will be very easy to change the batteries. Even if it was hard mounted, meaning I didn't use the magnetic attachment that it comes with. I would be able to open the battery compartment without dismounting the camera. It can be set to record the event and audio so you can hear what's being said. A nice feature. No monthly fee is a nice bonus. I can view up to four cameras from the app and from that area on the app I can click on one camera to view live . The app is very user-friendly.I'm glad I chose the system and will be buying additional cameras.
I love the Mini Trooper, I pray this business sticks around and keeps improving on this product because its great. I live in a building where this is simply just alot of horseplay and other foolishness going on, this is the best way I can put it. So our condo association wanted to place cameras in the hallways. The problem was issues with the wiring would have cost alot of money so after doing ALOT of research thank goodness I found this product. I was hesitant because of the reviews but I'm glad I decided to purchase regardless. I've had no real issues thus far. The signal goes as far as the 3rd floor. I changed my router to eero Home WiFi System (1 eero + 1 eero Beacon) - Simple, powerful TrueMesh network technology, Gigabit Speed, WPA2 Encryption, Replaces Wireless Router, works with Alexa (2nd Generation) its the best one-two punch!! This bad boy is getting through CONCRETE!!! I am satisfied and I will provide an update should things change but so far so good.
Did lots of research and pondering before making this purchase! Primary reason was the wire free installation. Bought them even in the face of some not too happy buyers concerning battery life, which so far has been about what manufacturer stated it would be. However, I did mount both camera's so they would not see moving auto traffic or people walking by the front of our house.The 720p resolution gives a good sharp picture and mounting the cameras was a snap! Changing batteries is also simple and straight forward.
My biggest complaint, the installation instruction booklet! The print is so small I needed a magnifying glass to read. Also, the choice of ink color is so pale there is almost no contrast between paper and ink. The poorly conceived instructions did not help speed installation. But, when I finally figured out how to connect the base station to my home wi-fi the cameras quickly connected to the network and showed up on the EZVIS app on both iPhone and iPad. Another thing I do not like is to not be able to remove the default Cloud storage setting when using a memory chip in the base station.
Better than Netgear Vuzone in all aspects except for notification. I am not getting any email notifications. It appears that I must access the system (while away of course) to see if there are any alerts from motion detection. By then, of course, it could be too late. If I have something set up incorrectly - help me out here.
Picture quality is great as well as audio. My only grip about the video quality is that its reminds me of the very first digital camcorders - the more light the better the pic quality. Most of my remote cam views are in nightvision mode due to window blinds and curtain being closed. When they're all open, the video and pic stills are in vibrant color.
If there is one anomaly that I think everyone should be aware of is that if you have other wireless devices in your home such as I do (cellphone, wireless sound bar speaker, two smart kitchen appliances), their communication will be affected when attempting to view video or a live view of the cameras. This is minor, and I could probably resolve it with an additional router installation in my home since the base station for the EzViz is located almost 15 ft from the closest camera. The farthest one is 30.
In closing, I would like to give this system 4 start rating out of 5 due to the notification and nightvision view of the cams. This may be a configuration issue, but until its resolved, 4 stars.
These cameras were set up easily on my phone. They are tiny bullet cameras that can withstand the elements. One of them has awful battery life. CR123 batteries are expensive and it's a weird glitch that causes one to drain batteries.

These are great cameras. Very easy to set up. I had hoped they would work from inside the house looking through a glass window. They work great installed outside to monitor the yard.
Great camera just wish you could set the sensitivity of the motion detector.
My complaint is that the additional cameras purchased, the batteries only last two weeks and that was during a period of time when we didn't have power as a result of Hurricane Irma - so both were off during that period of time. The first camera purchased still has more than 1/2 battery life after 6 weeks of use. I had to buy new batteries at $80 and am disappointed that I haven't received a response with regards to the dead batteries.
These are so great! Easy to set up and take great photos/videos.
The first set of batteries went dead with in a few days. They sent me replacement batteries. They are working great. The picture is clear and has a wide angle. Will probably order a few more cameras.
