Indoor Camera Owl, Home Security Camera Owl with Rotatable Head, Night Vision, 2-Way Audio, Works with Phone, Decoration for Home

Well, I was eager to get this as I have one previously made sold by Owerly. I assume Owerly sold off the rights or something to UGold. Upon receiving it, found it may be the same plastic case, even has holes for parts on the Owerly one that are not on this one, like an LED power light, backup battery. UGold's version HAS NO SOLAR CAPABILITY, even though they still use the same tag around the owl's neck saying it does. It has no solar panel in the owl's head or solar panel that can be connected to the power port or backup battery in the owl. I was disappointed by all that, but suspected on purchase. What I didn't expect was they used a totally different camera in the owl. Still has the same IR light issue that blurs the night vision and reflects off glass if it's pointed at glass, so best to just disable the night vision, as it picks up well at night and in color. What really bugged me, is the inability to connect to the camera directly through it IP port. My 1st one wouldn't setup using the QR code method on the app either, and doesn't use the same CAMCARE app as the Owerly one. No matter what I did I could get any other software to connect to it's IP address or go to it's internal steup on a browser as I should have been able to. Then, after about 2 days, it stopped working altogether, so maybe mine was defective. I have a replacement on the way and will update this review after I've checked it out. On a side note, thought this was a really cool idea instead of an ugly cam sitting there, love the Owerly one. I've though about doing a thing to use the same idea in multiple animals, SOLAR POWERED, so you could put them in your yard or house. Would be cool, maybe dogs, cats, other birds? UPDATE: Ok, returned 1st one and got the replacement, seems to work fine so far, but only with the YCC365PRO app and on the https://www.ucloudcam.com website (website for the app/camera AFTER you set it up on the app). Still cannot get ANY other viewing app to connect to it. They see it on my network, but every one says it can't connect. Research I've done says the camera is a "CloudCam EYEPLUS_DEV" and username: admin password:12345 default settings. I got the previous owlcam to connect briefly with those settings. But apps Agent DVR, CameraFTP, and tinyCam can see it, but can't connect in multiple scenarios I've tried. This all makes it kind of a pain, because it'd be nicer to have all of my cams in one app for a multiview. On the plus side, the YYC365 Plus app, once setup, can be viewed from anywhere either in the app or on the uclould.com website from any browser once you sign in, without any other complex setup as required by other apps to view outside the local network. I recommend turning off the night vision unless it's pitch black, as the camera has great night vision without it. Also, the night vision IR reflects a circle off any glass you might try to use it through, and is a bit blurry as I think the IR is reflecting off the camera's own plastic lens covering. With it off, camer gives a great somewhat fish eye view in HD. The previous Owerly Owlcam had FHD. I'd recommend trying to find the Owerly version as it has FHD, Solar power, and is relatively easy to use with other apps using default username:admin & password: admin123456 AND can be accessed directly at it's IP address on your network where you can change a multitude of settings, from exposure, to how fast the tracking head moves. Final update: JUNK! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME! MY 2ND ONE DIED AFTER A FEW DAYS!

SI FUNCIONA MUY BIEN

I’ve purchased two of these. Why can’t you get any support on this camera. First one worked for a year, that’s fine given the price point, but the second would never set up! Monthly 5.99 subscription available, happy to pay it with the working camera, Leary to try it again and would like the company to support their product!!

The owl looks great that’s about it. Cam is not that great. All the advertisements is annoying. Probably better off taking the camera out from the inside of it and replacing it with some other camera that works lol. It has to constantly be plugged into an outlet so you don’t have many options on where to put it unless you run extension cord, which is obvious. it would be nice if they made it waterproof you could stick it on your roof or something solar powered would be great. It would be nice if it had somewhere to screw the unit down to piece of wood or something anyways, buy at your own risk.

Love it

Stopped connecting to wifi after 1 day. Don't waste your money!!

The owl is wonderful, it does everything that they said it would

Doing this like I have for it as it needs to be have other animals besides owls to further this line of cameras

Esta muy bien el diseño, pero fallo a los tres días, además traía una memoria de solo 8G. En proceso de devolución. (no descartó que sea un buen producto pero desafortunadamente el que me llegó dejo de funcionar a los tres días).
