Nice, capable camera
This camera is a near carbon-copy of one I bought in early 2020 from a different brand. That's OK because I like that camera, just odd that this one is the same or nearly the same.What I like about these cameras is the nighttime quality and the fact that the timer actually works. So many of the cameras on Amazon have faulty timers which record all day despite being to record only at certain preset hours.While these cameras take 8 AA batteries, they can run on just four which is nice for pulling batteries to recharge without having a camera "down."The documentation warns against use of rechargeable NiMH batteries because of their lower voltage (~1.2 v nominal vs ~1.5 v nominal with alkaline) but I haven't had any problems so far. When powered by rechargeable batteries, the cameras don't last quite as long before needing to be recharged. My cameras are "on" for at least a week at a time with the timer set to record at night, roughly 10-12 hours. A minimum one week per charge is fine by me.I'm happy with this camera and will provide an update if I run into anything.

Great on the slope and save a lot over those brand
Snowboarding is my hobby, And I would be traveling to various resorts over the country and I wanted to get some high-definition footage to show my friends when we arrived home. Instead of spending top dollar for a name brand, this fit the bill. It was installed on my helmet, and it recorded in 4k the entire journey down the mountain in Park City. I was able to see what the camera was seeing by using the app on my phone. The one caveat is that if you record for more than 15 minutes, you will need to patch your films together. That was discovered later, although there are free stitching applications available online. The video is crystal clear, and the camera is in excellent condition. Love it so far

Easy Installation & High Quality Product
The media could not be loaded.
All accessories required are included in the package and the manual is clear enough to understand the product and settings.As the product is wireless, the installation is easy and can be completed within a few minutes. The signal of both the camera and monitor are very strong. Try to apart them for about 40 ft and the image has no effect and remain stable. Also try to remove the antennas on the monitor and wireless camara and there is no interference at all. I believe this system is suitable for installing in long truck without signal loss. The picture is clear, and the parking line can be adjusted through the menu of the monitor. Also, the wake-up function remote control can easily turn on and off the back up camera systems wirelessly.

Works Like a Charm
First, I have this camera inside my home’s front window covering my front entrance. It’s not made for that, BUT after a frustrating first few hours of playing with it, wanting it to do what I wanted it for, I was about to return it. I really had to give myself several days to understand the settings and play with adjusting them. Now I love it. It’s inexpensive and works like a charm. Definitely keeping it. Sends alerts right to my phone. Of course you cannot talk to the person on the intercom with the camera being in the house but I have no need for that. I just want to know who came and went and who may be looking around my property.

Charger Broke - But Great Customer Service & Free
I had this camera for less than a year, and I broke the charger plugging the USB cord in to it. The charger is a small plastic component, and the USB connection inside the charger broke free. AKASO has great customer service, and sent me a free replacement.The kit comes with a short USB cord that fits the charger. My suggestion is to leave it plugged in to the charger, instead of installing it and removing it before and after you charge your batteries.Other than this issue, I love the camera. I contemplated whether to give it (4) stars or (5) stars because of the broken charger. I chose (5) stars since AKASO replaced it, and now that I know it's better to leave the USB cord in the charger.

Great Integrity!
I had purchased this camera in December for a gift for my 4 year old son. I am a photographer and he always wants to take pictures with me, so I figured this would be perfect. Unfortunately, in just 2 months the product I had received quit working. It would not power on, it would not charge- nothing. Of course, I was upset- this is not the cheapest of the kiddo cameras available online. After expressing my feelings about this camera the company worked very hard to send me a replacement which is working great. My son is happy and I'm just blown away by the integrity this company has displayed. I can't thank them enough for the efforts they put forth.

The Canon BG-E22 Battery Grip Is A perfect Match F
Power that lasts a long time, Quality build and Design that matches and becomes a solid part of the camera when attached. Charges both batteries without removing them from the grip, just plug in the included charger and in a little time it’s ready for lots of long-lasting shooting power again. Highly recommended and has become a permanent part of my EOS R camera. PS: I now see that the price has been reduced and the charger has become a separate purchase, no worry, the price is still the same. Just be sure to order the matching charger as that, when it is time to re-charge, is the convenient easy way to keep this unit charged and ready to go.

Works great! Enjoyable for sure. Easy!
*update dec 5th 2021* still amazing! Very happy with the camera still. Always keeping the extra battery 100% charged just in case, but really the life on the batteries has been amazing. Just have to properly charge like suggested haha! Great product still.We got one and absolutely love it. Definitely a fun and easy camera to get to know we took it on ski trip and camping so far. No issues so far. Battery life is hit or miss, but we use it a lot and most likely don't let it fully charge properly. Everyday it's used to make videos for Instagram and Facebook. Super easy. Enjoyable. 5 out of 5 stars for sure.
