These instructions read like old VCR instructions. I still have not figured out how to get the alarm to sound on my phone. I am just thankful that I was able to set it up at all. My son, could not do it. And he is of the age where it comes naturally to him! Once you get the camera set up, you will see that it has zone control to keep you from getting false alarms. It has a lot of great features. The only thing is the instructions are not the easiest to decipher for ANY PART of the process, THe set up was difficult. I got lucky in getting it to work. The app is a whole different issue. I have no idea what to do there. The camera is great.. I think it needs a different app so that it would be easy to set up and use. I can not for the life of me figure out how to get my phone to alarm when there is movement.. But I am not a quitter
For the price, it is definitely a very nice camera with 2-way audio! It has as good of a pic as my Ring, and it records just as well. Comes with a memory card, and you can download from the memory card onto your phone. It is a good buy!!
