This review is from: EZVIZ Mini Plus HD 1080p Wi-Fi Home Security Camera with 16GB MicroSD Card, Motion Detection, 135 Degree View, Night Vision, 2 Way Audio, Works with Alexa and Google Home Using IFTTT (EZMINPLSBKG16)

Pros:

1. Setup is extremely easy, create an account, verify it, and hold the phone to the camera. (This is a make or break step for most users).
2. The lag is minimal, if you are on the same network. If you are outside the network, I don't think it actually works.
3. Night vision works nice!
4. You can view up to 4 cameras at a time (the feature is in the app).

Cons:

1. Mine did not come with the 130 degree wide lens. I'm guessing it's an addon. So I cannot review that piece of this.
2. No IFTTT interface (don't know why it's listed as a feature).
3. Proprietary only mass storage options. These are the subscription to the cloud or a proprietary network drive. You can NOT use your own hard drives with this camera.. BAD!
4. This is NOT a security camera. Security cameras allow you to store the much needed footage (aka security footage) onto your local setup. This.Does.Not.

Overall Review:

1. When switching between basic, standard, and hi def mode, you need to reboot the app (This is ok, as long as you know you need to reboot).

If they fixed the above issues, I would purchase several of these. If they created an outdoors version, this would be excellent. Unfortunately, due to the proprietary nature of this camera... I would say the target audience are those who are curious but not serious.
