NETGEAR VueZone Add-on Motion Detection Camera (VZCM2050-200NAS)

I have two cameras monitoring my second home with Netgear. Works great. I see dear, turkey, squirrels playing and occasionally small birds will trigger the motion detector. Worked well through the winter right up to this year. Batteries last 4-6 months and that is fine. One camera is under an eve outside the house and has had no problems even at -15 degrees F. The other is in the house which gets no colder than 40F. These are fun and helpful and give me peace of mind as I am 80 miles from this home. My insurance company likes them too. The picture is good for the price and for the security.

Weather-proof mounts are no longer available for these. The video quality is poor. The camera doesn't really work in the dark unless you plug in an infrared light source (so it's not the hassle-free wireless install they advertise). The physical product design is perfect, though.

I have three of these and one night vision. It's ok to get an alert of motion, but you will not be able to recognize who is in the image, since it is very blurry. I also have Kodak, which is far superior.

These are great as nanny cams. Small and wireless and easily set unobtrusively in our home to check on the kids and nanny. together with the base kit, they work on mobile or pc, and motion activated to record either video and/or stills; all with time stamps and even text alerts.

Good camera. Quality of picture is great. The fact that it's wireless is wonderful. I highly recommend if you don't like running wires. Lastly, it's simple to set up and view from my iPad. The only down side is the size of the playback on my android phone. The viewing screen is very small.

I've had my NetGear VueZone monitoring system for over a year. I got it as a review unit for a computer supply company. It has held up well and I can't complain. I decided to add a second camera to monitor the back sliding glass door. The camera works well and mated up to my system just fine. For the money spent, it's a reliable system and battery life is good.
