    This is actually a better product than I think some folks are giving I credit for. Sure the battery life isn't great, but it's not intended to be an always-on security camera - it's designed to allow people to check in intermittently on their home for whatever reason. And short battery life is a side effect of the fact that these are completely wireless and require no wiring into the power system. That's a big advantage in my book; that means the cams can go anywhere and can be moved easily. And they're small too.


    As for the lack of audio, it's important to remember that in every state in the US it is illegal to record audio in most circumstances.


    Sure the video quality could be better, and more cams would make it a better deal, but it's not a bad price for somehing that looks to be pretty easy to set up and pretty flexible in it's application.

    That design...so familiar. Where have I seen that design before?



    Oh, yeah.


    So, is this new one waterproof? And how is picture quality during use?

    @bosskev: At the risk of sounding like a gay-bashing thug, Do you ALWAYS subconciously think of butt-plugs?

    @DeusExMach: Wait. Are you telling me the picture I posted is a butt plug? Good lord. Well, I guess I'll just have to take your word on it, but I thought I was posting a pic of a dog chew toy. I yield to the more experienced eye, and thanks for the correction!

    Nothing on battery life? Can you set it up to upload at intervals? What's the resolution for still shots? Sorry to be so picky, but I would like some wireless cams, but don't want to pay for batteries. I like to set them, and forget them. Otherwise, great review Jason.

    @CameraShoe_GitEmSteveDave: Good points, I just added those to the review. Short answer is, replaceable batteries and there is scheduling.

    @Jason Chen: Thanks Jason. It's a shame you can't figure out how much they are consuming. All my cams upload every two minutes, so I'm sure I would eat batteries. I would also agree 4 for $300 is a WAY better deal.

    How long do the batteries in the cameras last? That seems like a huge design flaw for something intended to be on all day.
