Philips Hue Secure Battery-Powered Smart Home Security Camera, White - 1 Pack - 1080P HD Video - Night Vision - Motion Detection - Two-Way Talk - Indoor/Outdoor - Weatherproof - Works with Hue App

This is perfect for our house. We needed this and it works well

The installation was easy enough, but the WiFi connection was hit-and-miss. Even though I have great connections throughout the house for computers, TVs, and "the internet of things," the Hue camera and the Hue lights sometimes disconnect. Then, I have to troubleshoot the connection. It takes a few tries to get an internet connection whenever I have to add features. The added cost for clip recording, which is only available with a subscription, is really annoying too.

I have other Hue products so this security camera integrated well into my system and worked well for me. The picture was comparable to other smart home brands and did a pretty good job at night. It was easy to install and setup and hasn't had any connection issues.

Absolutely terrible product and almost worse customer service. I can’t say enough bad things about this camera. The connection is AWFUL. Phillips will try every trick in the book to troubleshoot but it’s just the camera. Mine was placed next to my router and had “excellent strength” and still couldn’t connect (1000 mbps internet). The battery life is non existent. After a few days it will be down to 50%, maybe lasts 5 days until it needs to be charged. The magnet mount doesn’t hold well, the camera moves around. The picture quality is bad. The app is not developed well. The motion and activity zone features never worked. Every single thing was a bad experience. This was my second camera after Phillips tried to replace the original, still the same issues. Their customer service is very robotic like and it’s like talking to a wall. Before my current replacement was received, they sent the complete wrong model and color the first time. I gave them a chance to make it right and they shewed me away. They need to stick to lighting because this is a complete fail. For the price of this product, it’s robbery. In the market for a new camera if there’s any recommendations!

I'm not real happy with this camera. I have used a few different types and my experiences with others have been more positive. Negatives: price, limitations due to app access, night video quality. I don't have any other Hue devices, so it stands alone, but it would be better to be able to integrate it into the rest of my existing system. Maybe there is a way, and I missed it. It is easy to set up. There is a magnet that holds it in place and allows you to set the position easily. I am a little concerned about relying on a magnet because the camera position can be moved by anyone. I will probably replace this with something else, but if I was happier with the performance I would consider purchasing other Hue devices to work with this one.
