Panasonic HomeHawk Window Home Monitoring Camera for Outdoor Monitoring, Mounts to Inside Window, Color Night Vision, Wide Angle, 24/7 Full HD Recording, Person Detection, Alexa Compatible KX-HNC500

I love it!!!! I put the camera on our garage door window, using the blue wide masking tape, a extension cord and some hooks that the camera stays on the window and the cord won't touch on anything when garage door opens. It works out great looking over our driveway. I wish I could angle down a little bit, but I still like the fact that the camera is securely installed inside of the window, I don't need to worry about the battery, and on the top of it, there is no monthly fees (WooHooooo!!!)!!Like many reviewers say, the app could have some improvements probably because I'm used to Ring app. (I have a Ring Doorbell Pro.) I wish I could delete the video clips in the "recording list" by swiping it out (or check multiple photos to delete them all at once). Setting up the camera in the app is a bit confusing. First, you need to turn on your location on your device. Then I suggest you to be near router when you connect your camera to your wifi, then the camera to your device following the in-app step-by-step installation guide. After you finished setting up the connections, then you can simply unplug the camera and take it to wherever you want to install it. Once wifi is all connected, you can easily plug/unplug the camera from the power outlet and no need to set up the wifi again and again like Ring Doorbell cameras which is very frustrating.(UPDATES: I found a quick delete selection in the app! "Show All">"Select". And I started to like this app as I'm getting used to it! I lower the sensitivity on my motion detection, but there are still a lot of videos recorded. What I like about this app is that I can chose "Person Only" recordings to review the recordings. That way, I don't have to waste my time looking for the ones that shows some human activities in my property. Another option that I like is that I can easily protect some of the video clips with one click. I used to use Ring app. That's why it took for me to get used to the Homwhawk app. But now I actually like this app better than Ting app. It's well coordinated once you get used to it. )It takes some delay to watch the live view, but I personally think it's slightly faster than Ring. (It depends on my wifi strength too.) But it doesn't really matter to me since I don't have to "answer" to the camera activities. If there is any action going on, then the camera is already recording the activities anyway. So I won't worry about the little delay so much.My garage windows are all tinted dark. But the picture quality is excellent even at night! We have a street light 2 houses away across the street which seems to give enough lighting for our camera to be able to pick up the images in color! (I don't even have the highest quality setting.) I also lower the motion sensitivity but it catches all of the activities in the area I chose.There is no microphone on this camera. So the noises won't trigger the recordings. Your privacy inside of your house is protected.I purchased 128GB of micro SD card for the camera as Amazon suggested, and it's working just fine although I later noticed that the camera is supposed to take up to 64GB of micro SD card as some reviewers stated.I can choose if I want to turn the LED light (which is located on back of the camera) on/off in the app, and there is no light shown in front of it.My daughter also downloaded the app to check her car on the driveway. It seems like up to 4 devices can be connected to this camera at once.Overall, I'm so happy with the purchase! I don't have to worry about my neighbor getting on to our camera when I'm setting it up as they have no idea when we are setting it up. (My neighbor who also has the Ring doorbell has sneakily gotten on to our camera once (this really happened) when I had hard time setting up our Ring Doorbell Pro for the first time. Now I know why I had a hard time connecting it because they were stealing our Ring signal before we were trying to connect with it. Creep!) Even we get power outage, this camera would just reconnect the wifi itself when the power is back. You can relocate this camera anywhere you want in your house. You don't need to recharge the battery. It's Panasonic. They are good and I trust many of their products!Lastly, I'd like to request to Panasonic to make more products like the doorbell cameras, the outdoor motion detection driveway/front porch alarms (with no camera--to be less expensive), and less expensive window cameras, outdoor gate camera (like a peeping hole camera with weather proof) which all come with wired or wireless. I would definitely buy more Panasonic products to protect all around my property!Anyways, I'm really happy with the purchase, and HIGHLY recommend it. It's impressive!!

I’ve been eyeing this item for quite sometime and decided to go ahead and purchase. I mistakenly missed that I needed the micro chip so ordered that after. One item unsure of even needed was the pic chip. I’ve since realized this can be used to insert micro chip into to save any video or photo data.I’m not a techy person and was quite surprised to see how easy it was to connect. Directions were clear and included steps with pictures. The suction is working great and clarity of camera is pristine!! I was amazed to see how clear the video is both during day & night. I’m still learning how to set up what I want to view (people, motion, etc). I do wish there was an option to choose notification sound. I did figure out I could limit notifications by choosing what I wanted to view otherwise, camera will pick up birds flying by lol.Great purchase and very impressed with this camera!

I bought these cameras in 12/2021 and it has taken a few months of experimenting with the different settings and positions in 4 of my windows and viewing angle placements on four entry points of the sides of my house. Not good for above ground level apartments or 2nd story dwellings. I wish the cameras had the ability to tilt and pan, at least a little, I still have some blind spots but major views of most important places. They are very sensitive to motion detection so there are constant motion detections it picks up and records even though I have it set only for "person detection" only and works well with the only have 2 bars of the signal strength.Often light reflecting off the window and from outside car lights passing by will set off a "person detected" warning. The Set Detection option works only for up close views in the front vs. the background areas, so using that will blot out what the camera catches up front as well. Even on the very low setting, the cameras pick up windy branches moving, dripping rain drops, birds and of course critters for motion detected.Picture quality is amazing, clear and detailed, even at night. I can see up the street and beyond depending on the daylight hours, and if I zoom in up close, although the clarity diminishes more than 50 feet away. The clear views at night are enhanced with a separate motion detector already installed. Wary of battery replacement, I love the electrical power cord option and the SD storage disk, having no subscription. I used an extension cord where needed. I love the different options in the app for recording and formatting which I have to do daily because there are so many motion detections. However, I've learned how to speed through "Rapid Playback" viewing the videos on the fast forward button and having it set to record when motion is first detected. It's become easy to locate actual motions in the alerts to view and the various select and delete options. I love how the videos can be viewed in time blocks or singular views. I love being able to download to my iPad for larger screen viewing or to keep. I have not used the permanent attachment strips to hold the cameras in the windows yet because I open two of the windows outward in warm weather. It's a good idea to remove and replace the camera ever so often as directed and you get reminders to do this in the app. Also, the sticky pad has detached from the face of one of the cameras and I will have to replace the suction cup eventually or apply the camera with the permanent strips. Not sure how long the suction cups last. The camera detached from the window. If your window gets a lot of sun, the camera can heat up from the constant running. The camera is set to record when movement is detected, I may have to play with this feature setting some more. There are a few seconds at the start of viewing a recording where the white task bar is up and blocks the view and I wish I could delay or turn it off, even though it slides down out of place, you loose a few seconds at the very start of video viewing. I still like these cameras and am learning the various features in the app. Because these cameras work pretty well, I wish Panasonic/HomeHawk would improve their Indoor Floor camera (sound issue, lighting issue) for indoors and make a similar quality. I like the ability to control lighting from a distance. Also make a better more compact, two-way sound, with siren wired or wireless, microSD card, outdoor camera also to be used with their app. The one that they have is large and bulky, has motion detector light built in and I already have that, it is also reachable for tampering with.I recommend these cameras for single level homes with ground level windows and door windows. They cost a bit more. No subscription needed, storage slot up to 240 GB, time stamp, LED status control, works on your network, works away from home (not sure out of state, will see), gives warnings on the phone within seconds in the app, overwrite recording option and other settings I am still reviewing.
