great value
I purchase this camera as an update of my baby monitor, and have been using it for several months. I had an old baby monitor, but had to use the specific viewing screen and move the camera around to get the best view every time. I thought this might be a better choice, and it is. The video is clear, wide angel, could easily see the whole room, also good in night vision. It’s easy to set up, just follow the quick start guide using cell phone, and I could use cell phone to control the camera. I didn’t use the security functions though, so don’t know how that works. In general, it’s a good camera and with great price.

Peace of Mind
I bought this so I can check on my Mom that has Alzheimer's.What a wonderful camera that gives me peace of mind. Now I can get out by myself for an hour or two and check and make sure she is doing okay!!! I would highly recommend this camera. It is so easy to download the app and use this camera. I have it set up in the dining room, so I do not know how it works outside. But it works perfect where I have it. Thanks for giving me some free time!!!

Great choice.
Great product! Very clear and very easy to set up.The unit arrived rapidly and in brand new condition. The instructions were easy to understand and we had the unit up and running in no time. Great product and great job! The remote app feature allows you to see your living room (or wherever you have your camera) in real time and also enables you to move it around 360 degrees. We havent used the motion detection feature yet nor have we recorded anything but it can easily be done with a microSD card. It works well during the day and at night it even has night vision features that work surprisingly well.

Once I got some help with that it was fine and works really great
They do everything that they say.....a little tricky in setup with different modes, especially two way communication. Once I got some help with that it was fine and works really great. I am so impressed with these cameras I am going to buy a couple more. I've had other systems in the past and these are by far the best that I have seen.

My experience with the other IP cams was pretty discouraging. The instructions that came with the cameras ...
The FDT 1080P HD WiFi IP Camera isn’t my first WiFi security/monitoring type of camera.I have a professional home security system but adding the video monitoring options available from our security company would increase our monthly fees and equipment costs to a level that isn’t affordable for us. Setting up my own IP cams is a much more affordable way to do it.My experience with the other IP cams was pretty discouraging. The instructions that came with the cameras were difficult to understand with super small text and it was obvious that they had been translated from another language without great skill in many places.In addition to the instructions being difficult to follow, the cameras and the monitoring apps that came with them just weren’t very intuitive or user-friendly for someone like me trying to set up and use IP Cameras for the first time.I did manage to set them up initially, but I had trouble keeping them connected and eventually stopped using them.I was hesitant to try the FDT 1080P WiFi Camera (FD8901B) because of my previous experiences with the other IP Cams. Wow, I am so glad I tried one more time. This one is everything I had hoped a security IP Camera would be.It is a great size. I will post a pic with a soda can beside it to show the relative size of the camera. The other IP cameras I bought are probably twice the size of this one. They were white. I chose this one in black. I think for security purposes this smaller, black IP camera is more appropriate. It is very attractive in matte black, with a high-end look and feel to it, very sturdy and well-made.The camera is well protected in a nice box that is perfect for gift wrapping. It comes with a power adapter, an Ethernet cable, an adjustable wall arm with hardware for mounting, a Quick Start Guide, Installation CD, Warranty Card, and Support Card.The Quick Start Guide is fantastic, very easy to understand with illustrations that make setup super simple. There is also a support card that says, “We are here to help!” and gives a web address where you can watch a short video that walks you through the initial setup in just a couple of minutes. I used that to set up the camera after downloading the app to my Android phone. After my previous experiences, I couldn’t believe how fast it was! Instructions are also provided in the Quick Start Guide and online for setting up Desktop Access.Instructions are given for setting preferences including Motion Detection, Alarm Settings, and much more. This camera can also be used with other popular IP Camera Monitoring Software like the Tiny Cam App.The video and picture quality is excellent. Night Vision (black and white). Alert sound can be set to notify when motion is detected. Two-way audio – listen and speak. Holds Micro SD card up to 128 GB for recording (not included). Pan/Tilt – 350 Degrees Horizontal and 120 Degrees Vertical – controlled remotely from a computer, phone, tablet, or another device.What is most amazing is that this awesome IP Camera is much less expensive than the other IP cameras I tried. I highly recommend this IP Camera. Photos and video to follow :).

Customer Service is Awful and I Won't Buy Their Products Again
I bought a number of these cameras and have used them for 6+ months. Here's what I don't like:- The mobile application is buggy and crashes frequently- The cameras motion detection is way too sensitive and goes off at the slightest movement resulting in constant notifications on your phone. It gets to the point where you have to disable notifications or be constantly bombarded- The cameras lose connection frequently and/or stop responding. I eventually learned to place a manual timer on each camera to turn the power off once each day to "reset" the camera.- The 1080p picture is bad...it gives a very strange view...I liked the 720P much better.- Both outdoor cameras developed poor night vision within a few weeks- I would have provided a 3 star review for the product, but I had an outdoor camera from the same company fail and I've tried numerous phone calls and emails to get a replacement under the one year warranty and I have simply given up after 10 days of trying. I've called at least 5 times and been assured several times that it would be taken care of that day. I've exchanged a number of emails as well. I don't know if they outsource customer service or what, but the customer service for this company is incredibly bad to put it nicely. I will never buy anything again associated with FDT/Amcrest and plan to replace all of my purchases from them.
