This is a very powerful unit, giver its small size.

Great camera with a couple of caveats, GREAT SERVI
The picture quality and autofocus is great. The sound quality is OK. The main caveat is that if you are mainly using this camera for Zoom calls, you should know that in most cases, Zoom limits picture definition to "standard definition", so the wonderful 2K capabilities of this camera are useless on Zoom calls. From the Zoom support website:"For the time being, standard video, not HD video, will be activated when 3 or more participants join a group meeting. HD video (720p) will be activated for 2 participants or when a Zoom Room or Conference Room Connector joins a group meeting. HD video (1080p) will only be activated for selective use cases such as large-format broadcast events."Also, the Ankerworks software used to control this camera will not work on Windows computers when using Zoom (Anker tech support says it will work on Macs). So, if you want to control the Field of View on the camera, you have to do that in the Ankerworks software first, then close the software and then launch your Zoom call. You cannot adjust Field of View during the Zoom call, which is something I wanted to be able to do.I bought the camera primarily for small hybrid Zoom meetings where I wanted to be able to show the presenter on screen. I learned all the above information from Anker support, which was VERY responsive to my questions/issues.I am still within the time to return the camera, but I elected to keep it because it is still better than using my laptop camera for these meetings (I can aim the camera wherever I want and keep my laptop facing me). Also, this camera is better than many of the other cameras out there that are twice the price based on reviews I have read.If you are using Zoom for just yourself and you have a decent camera on your computer, I suggest just sticking with what you have.Outside of the current limitations on Zoom, this is a wonderful camera with so-so audio quality.

Great security camera! Very happy!
We received our camera in good quality packaging. Following instructions we downloaded the app and had no difficulty setting it up to connect with the app. The camera has motion detection with a HD resolution setting that produces high quality pictures (or videos if you sign up for the cloud storage). Installation was easy to do as we had an outlet nearby. It has night vision which is also high quality. And, you can move the camera with the app in your phone to view left, right, up or down. As you can see from the pictures we have a clear view to all entrances to our lanai with just the one camera. Highly recommend! We are NOT returning this camera! NOTE: We also have another Zuminall camera that is solar operated and static (can't move it with your phone). We can monitor both cameras at the same time (see last picture above). Very happy with our cameras!

Works great for the price, there's nothing to lose
I just got the camera and have been playing around with it all night. Easy to use and fun little camera with some solid features. I feel it's a great budget alternative to more expensive products without sacrificing anything.

great little flash
Great little flash for my 6D, i really only use it as a master and for fill flash situations when using an off camera flash where a transmitter would be prohibitive.It's tiny too so it is perfect for keeping on camera in transit.

Must read!
I use this as a baby monitor and I could tell right off the bat that this would be a great security camera! But as a baby/kids monitor I love the night vision it is clear as day! We love the rotation and different angles the camera can turn. I made my husband look at the camera while he was at work to see if it would work from a super far distance and it totally does! He set the alarm off while he was at work and also tried the “talking into the mic and comes out the camera” feature and that also passed the test! We both can tap into the app at the same time and both watch the girls. I never had any problems with the app! And a super cool thing with the app is that it sends notifications when someone appears on the camera or motion on the camera, and when clicking on the notification it will take you back to the moment when motion was detected so you don’t have to go back to watch. Best part was the price for all of this amazing features. ❤️

Wow - what a difference. - excellent Camera
I just got my camera yesterday and I already can see how much better it is. I have a Digital Rebel (Yes the first one that canon came out with) for it's time was a good camera.Now the 40D is so much better, the image quality is great, although I will test that over the weekend.Menus and options allow you for better control.What I did not like:- minor things like the print buttom, come on! who is going to print from the camera? if you don't know how to transfer the picture to a computer and print from there you should not even buy this camera.The other one is on 40D there is no wireless remote control, that I will miss from my Rebel. I don't understand why Canon took such nice feature out of the camera.But still, this is a great camera and I am very happy with it.Now I just need go buy more memory cards.

Easy Setup, Good Motion Sensitivity and Onboard St
This is a great camera with a decent app for your iPhone or Android. I have the iPhone version and it has some nice options such as motion sensitivity, battery level, history as well as screenshot options. The camera also has a light for night vision, sound, and intercom. You can also turn off your motion detection easily. Setup was fairly easy and the app on your phone walks you through setting it up which takes less than 5 minutes. Be sure to use your 2.4 WIFI since this camera does not support 5.0The quality of the camera itself seems to be decent. An excellent option for this camera is that it has onboard micro SD and cloud storage. The only thing I don't care for is that without using the mount on the camera it doesn't sit too stable on its own unless the surface is perfectly level, and can easily fall if you don't put it next to something to help stabilize it. Other than that I am pleased with it.

A Quality Camera for a Budget-Friendly Price
I bought this camera to replace the built-in one on my Toshiba Satellite laptop. The built in camera finally broke down after several years. Green and purple lines started showing up on my screen like some bad 1980s movie. This new Logitech one works perfectly, it took about a minute to set up, and it has high video quality. If you have Windows 10 like I do, though, the Logitech camera software for this is outdated. The Settings app works fine, but the actual camera controls (like the "Follow My Face" and several other features, wouldn't install with Windows 10, so I had to use the default Camera app.The camera does record in 720p HD quality, just like the description says, and it's definitely an improvement over what I had. If you just need a webcam for occasional video chats or meetings and you're not a full time YouTuber or vlogger, this is a good inexpensive webcam to buy.
