VicoHome: Smart Home Camera

Camera is great and app has potential. But it rarely identifies a bird correctly. It labels it as the wrong species or thinks it's a person or pet. This isn't that big of a deal, except that my feathered visitors section is full of errors that (according to the dev) can't be removed. I was really looking forward to keeping track of the birds that have REALLY visited. Plus, getting notifications (in error) that there's a person in your yard is a bit alarming/annoying.

Actually Astonished! I bought a solar powered outdoor camera for my driveway. It was about $16 on sale on Amazon. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much out of it and I was assuming the monthly plan would be outrageous (as some are ridiculous). To my surprise, I've had it set up for about 6 months now. The quality is amazing, the cloud storage is fantastic. The monthly fee is less than RING. The detailed description AI feature saves me time watching through some videos. IMPRESSED 👍

In the beginning, the free service worked well. But after a while, the camera became less sensitive to movement, despite the settings. The app became more difficult to customize. Then the ads came. They were generally harmless, at first, and easy to back out of. Then I saw an ad that was threatening, telling me my account had been suspended due to scores of virus attacks - there was no apparent disclaimer and reminded me of spam in the early days of the Internet. It was unpleasant to wake up to.
