I ordered two of the two camera kits, one in black, and one in white. That gave me four cameras in total, and with that I'm able to cover most of the interior of my home. Connecting the cameras to the app is very simple, and to do all four cameras took me about 10 minutes in total. The connection is reliable, and very clear. The camera resolution is more than adequate for an interior video security camera. The cameras are very responsive to the app prompts, and it's easy to navigate their movements, whether panning or tilting. You also have two way communication through the cameras via the app, as well as other features that include night vision, a siren for alerting during an emergency or break in, a sleep function to turn individual cameras off if you desire, and customizable settings through the app. I should also mention the motion detection, but my favorite feature is the fact that I can add micro SD cards to the backside of the cameras, where I can save video footage, or photos taken to the memory card, rather than relying on a paid service via a cloud option. Of course, there is the option of saving it to a cloud, but I am unlikely to use that. I prefer to mount mine up on the walls, and I ran the cables through the interior of the wall to a nearby outlet, so that I could hide it, and integrate the cameras into my decor more seamlessly. I have had interior security cameras for over 10 years, and I can tell you that the more time that passes, the better the cameras get. Best of all, the cheaper they become. For the price of all four of these cameras, I wasn't even able to purchase one camera, when I first started with interior security cameras. At the present moment when I write this review, the kit for two cameras is $39.99. That is a heck of a bargain for these cameras. They offer all the functions that you could want, and more. They also connect to both frequencies of Wi-Fi, being 2.4 GHz, and 5 GHz, which is rare for security cameras. All in all, for the price and value, I'm struggling to find anything to criticize. They may come in generic packaging, but they offer all the features that you would get from any of the fancy name brands. I'd certainly recommend them.

Updated :Have to say I'm impressed YYSY took notice of an issue I had with a camera set I ordered that was missing parts. It was only one set of two ordered, but they responded without prompting and are working to make it right. They also took some of the feedback offered and I appreciate that greatly.Great customer service makes a huge difference.We actually got two sets of these cameras and the overall rating takes in the good and bad from both sets.First off, one set seemed like it may have been a repackaged return as the accessories were sort of dumped in the box and the USB cables were both missing. The other set was complete and in good order. This would be a one star review if we did not have the two sets to compare as the cameras are unusable without the cable.Set up is not as simple as described, the app has a tendency to glitch when trying to attach to the wi-fi network where it does not want to allow you to put in the password. After pounding away at that a few times, the cameras did finally connect.Now we get to the better notes on these cameras.There isn't much lag when controlling the pan/tilt on the camera from the app and very little lag in the transmitted video. Compared to the battery powered Blink cameras, the controls are much faster.Image quality is good in daylight and adequate in night vision mode. In night mode, it allows you to make out a person in a room at a distance of 35 feet (the longest range we tested) but there is no detail. Under NV, details start dropping off past 10-12 feet although you can still make out what is going on (person or dog going through the room).The app isn't the most user-friendly thing we've tried, but it is functional.One thing I truly despise about cameras like this is that they send out short power cords as if the user is going to stick these right next to an outlet set low on the wall. Why can't any of these manufacturers add at least 10' power cables right out of the box? The short cables seem to be a standard, but it is a completely idiotic standard.Compared to Blink, the image quality is not as good, but that is offset by faster controls, always on, and better recording options.On a lighter note, each camera seems to get a slightly different voice and odd wording when doing the set up.
