If it is your only experience with security cameras you may like it. However, I found it lackluster compared to other cameras I own. Honestly, I would have been perfectly happy with eveything if there were not the weirdness of the cloud service. Based on the listing, I expected to be able to use it whether or not I used the cloud service. However, nothing stored to the sd card. I would get motion and sound notifications and would be able to see live video, but could not see what the alerts were for.
