First off, the installation was ridiculously easy. I just slapped it on my wall with the included double-sided tape—no drilling, no fuss. But if you're into permanent setups, screws are there too. The rechargeable battery is a lifesaver; just pop it off the bracket and plug it in. No more climbing ladders to change batteries!

The 2K HD video is crisp, even at night thanks to IR night vision. I can see porch pirates from a mile away (okay, 33 feet). The 140° wide-angle means no more "blind spots" where delivery guys hide packages awkwardly behind planters.

Two-way audio? Gold. I once scared off a squirrel rummaging through my packages while grocery shopping—just yelled "SCRAM!" through the app. Motion alerts are customizable too; I dialed mine to ignore passing cars but catch anyone lingering near my door.

Big win: NO subscription fees for cloud storage (take that, Ring!). The chime’s 32 sound options? My kid picked a dinosaur roar—now we jump every time Amazon delivers. Downsides? The app occasionally logs me out, and midnight’s random "lighthouse beacon" mode is... odd. But for the price? Totally worth it.

Pro tip: Use it as a pet cam too. Caught my dog redecorating the couch with shredded pillows—evidence saved forever in free cloud storage.
