This review is from: EZVIZ Husky HD 1080p Outdoor Wi-Fi or PoE Video Security Bullet Camera, 16GB MicroSD, Works with Alexa and Google Home Using IFTTT (EZHUSKYG16)

Pros:

Camera was easy to set up and connect via-EzViz website. Quality of the camera is top notch since it is capturing in 1080P. Night time shots/video is pretty decent for the price and so far I haven't had any issues with the camera. Camera comes with good hardware for installation (meant to be installed outside of home) and a paper with a cutout for exact drilling. Build feels like a tank, seriously this thing will probably survive many drops if one were to do a drop test. All in all everything again was easy to setup and assemble but a few minor quirks, read cons...

Cons:

- Size : It's not small by any means, adjustment is limited and depending on where you are mounting this it could be an easy job or a annoying one.

- WiFi : I never could get wifi to work or the camera to connect (well maybe connect but not work completely). Seems this is an issue with some other reviewers as well. I've followed the instructions exactly as told and still in the end no connection. It tells me the camera is connected but when I go to view the camera, nothing..

- Connectivity/Ease of Use : Connectivity via-Ethernet is fast and little lag/delay time. Ease of use of software and app? Complete trash.. You'll be disappointed to know that you'll be using your web browser to be doing all of your interaction with this camera. You cannot use this camera with other hardware or existing security camera setup. Local view is a must for security cameras, I have no clue why this this feature was not included or featured on this product. Also if I remember correctly I was not able to use Google Chrome to use their website, only IE is supported. Why????

Overall Review:

For $99 you are getting a great quality security camera, picture is clear and sharp. I personally do not enjoy using their website in a web browser I don't use just to view the camera. I never got the wi-fi to work. No support for integrating camera into existing home security camera setup. This is one of those products where the product itself is great but lack support for a real app to use it to it's maximum potential.
