ARENTI Indoor Security Camera

My English Mastiff tore both of her CCLs and it left her mobility super limited. Leading up to surgery I was anxious leaving her for any extended period of time because she was so uncomfortable. And now that she is freshly post op (surgery 2/20, picked her up 2/21) I’m even more anxious. For real, I was worried about her licking her surgical spot while I was in the shower. I want to avoid putting her in the cone of shame; she is already miserable and I don’t want to add to it. This was an impulse purchase based on my anxiety and concern for her wellbeing. The last cameras I got (for exterior, and a different brand) were such a let down that I was nervous about buying another camera, so when I saw this one for under $30 it felt worth a try for my sanity. Let. Me. Tell. You. I am SO impressed with the quality. It lets you move your view around via your phone from far away. The picture is clear and it does a great job with natural light and night time. The walkie-talkie works, though there is deffo a delay and I *think* the sound quality from the camera is funky. It left my girl howling when I tried to talk to her. (See first photo, her head cock was at the camera sound.). I’m not super impressed with the app. I haven’t figured out how to get to the motion alerts without receiving one and following the notification. The motion detector seems pretty sensitive too. We were snuggling and I rolled over a little and BAM, I got an alert. That being said, I mostly care about the live and being able to creeper on her. I don’t need to go watch a whole day back. It was really easy to install. I haven’t paid any mind to storage or security. Given when I am using the camera for I don’t have concerns about those thing. I do wish it had a turn off button. I have been unplugging the camera when I’m home with her because I don’t need to get alerts about myself. It also kinda sucks that it has to be plugged into power to be live vs. recharging or allowing it to run on its own if needed. For my use, I don’t really care though. It is also possible that if I actually read the entries booklet that I’d have some answers for some of the things I don’t care for. Just buy the camera!
