Overall, I find the camera serves my needs. It is basic, but I’m not surprised given the price. The image quality is good enough and it’s pretty responsive to pull up.
In terms of installation, I just have it sitting on a countertop. It has a built in articulating arm to achieve different angles. Note that the camera is super light, so I found it hard to make it sit in the place I wanted securely — so I put something heavy on top of the cable behind the camera to keep it somewhat fixed. You could mount it permanently with the included hardware, but that wasn’t practical in my case. It would be nice if the base was magnetized, as I’ve seen with some other cameras. I have a post in the basement that would have made the magnetization perfect and stable. Oh well.
I first set up the camera in the Aqara app. I recently set up a separate IoT network and added it to that network, which went perfectly fine. However, adding it to Matter didn’t go well. It failed every time. I thought I would bring it into HomeKit via Matter, but instead ended up using the built in HomeKit integration, which worked fine. With HKSV built in, I have all the functionality I typically expect within the Home app.
So I think this will be fine for my needs overall. But I take a star off because (1) it does not include a power adapter (annoying!) and (2) the limited mounting options. Also, I hate that it is asking for me to sign up for a subscription. Not gonna happen. The justifications they give over why that’s better than local storage are comical. But just ignore — if you have HKSV, you are good.
So for the price, I think this is a pretty good solution. Not perfect — but I didn’t expect perfection this time.
