Pros

Piper not only notifies me of activity but also it has been great notifying me of incoming storms (weather) it records both inside and outside air temperature and it even sends weather alerts which is great for upstate ny in the winter. If you get eco... Read More

No issues with disconnections or false alarms. Good for an actual alarm, will surely startle any thief.

The piper nv has an incredible 180-degree view and blows away other cams. Night vision works surprisingly well. The camera is not great, but good enough and the field of view is very wide.

I really like this system, it hasn't lost connectivity, it's image resolution if good and the motion sensors work just fine. The app is super easy to use and set-up the different rules for the different modes.

Cons

It is not easy to set up, if the power in your place goes down, or if you disconnect (or change) your wifi connection, it is a pain trying to connect your system again to the wifi. This makes it difficult to correct wifi problems by moving routers ar... Read More

I have zero faith in these devices protecting my property and now i need to buy a system that actually works. A disappointing and unreliable design. What a disappointment.

The pet at home feature fails to work reliably with 12 pound cats. My dog is so traumatized from the siren going off when she goes to her water bowl.

This is not the first security camera I've purchased, but so far it is the best. It has a lot of features that you really want. Other cameras offer some of these features, but not all. First, the video quality is excellent. The product description might give you the impression that the camera lens will move/tilt to give you a wider viewing range, but this is not the case. You start by looking from a very wide round fish eye view and then you can zoom in to any area within the view range. It works well and is very clear. Second, I love that this camera plugs in, but has a battery backup. Few cameras on the market give you that extra security of having two power sources. Third, this camera has a loud alarm/siren that at least has the potential of stopping a criminal, rather than just watching or recording them. Fourth, the software comes with lots of options and three standard settings that you can use and set up any way you like. For example, you might want to have one mode where you only get a notification if motion is detected, but if your on vacation you would want both a notification and the siren to go off. Or if your at home, you might not want any notification at all. You can set up the modes the way you want and then easily switch between them. Fifth, this camera has a decent microphone/speaker that allows two way talk. I sometimes use it to give my kids a quick message when they are at home and I am at work. Other cameras I've tried had a long delay between when I say something and the person by the camera actually hears it, but the Piper response time is quite fast.BEST OF ALL - this camera will record and allow you to store short videos that get triggered by an event such as detecting motion or a loud sound ... however you want to set it up. BUT - there is no charge for this. Other cameras sneakily give you a 30 day trial of auto recording video and then you realize after 30 days that the camera you purchased is essentially worthless unless you pay for a subscription. How much do you pay for your storage in your e-mail, on Facebook, or videos on YouTube? Nothing right? So why pay for a subscription to video your recording on your security camera that you already paid for when it should be included free.Right now the Piper software only runs on your phone. Would also love to see a computer application, but regardless, this a high quality product that won't bleed your bank account with another monthly subscription. Based on what is on the market now, it is an untouchable value. Read Less
