Title: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Little Camera — We’re Impressed!

We purchased this camera and it has been fantastic! The picture is incredibly clear, setup was simple, and I love being able to check everything right from my phone. The magnetic design makes it so easy to position exactly where we want it. For such a small camera, I’m seriously impressed with what it can do. Definitely one of those purchases that makes you wonder why you didn’t buy it sooner! 😂

Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm stopping the recording.

I purchased two cameras, and unfortunately, after about one month of use, both stopped recording properly to the SD card. They worked fine at first, but eventually they developed the same issue, which is very disappointing, especially because a security camera should provide reliable and continuous recording.

I checked the SD cards and the settings, but the problem persists. Based on my experience, I do not consider these cameras reliable for such an important function. I hope the manufacturer improves the quality and durability of this product.

Good value

Great overall! Set up is easy, hold up well. Wish it had more overall tilt and longer battery life.

I'm a 'heck yes' for these cams - honest review

I'm buying my third one, so I guess I like them!

Now, they're not perfect. I wish they picked up wildlife a bit better. The motion sensor sometimes misses small critters and even cars if farther away.

But overall I'm very pleased. The price is a bargain and the subscription is very reasonable. I think it's 50 bucks a year per camera for cloud support.

It's really great for keeping an eye on my home when I'm out of town. I "fired" two different pet sitters because of these cameras.

Set up is pretty straightforward. The app is easy to navigate. The battery life is pretty impressive. A single charge lasts weeks. Video quality is very decent. Audio quality could use some improvement but it's usually adequate. I've had these cameras out in pouring rain, with no issues.

Enjoy the video of a fox I got this past winter. And feel free to be impressed with how much snow we had 🥴

Won’t connect

I just got it and I did try different things but it still won’t connect. I was able to see live video a few times. I gave a 4 star because it might be something I did wrong. I already try turning the camera off, reinstalling, reconnecting to app and nothing.

Great all around product!

Easy to mount. Easy to install ap. Clear pictures and video. Wireless and stays charged for me over a month before I had to recharge it. Great product! I highly recommend it!

Functions as it should

I love this product. The install is super easy and user friendly. The app is simple to use and never has any glitches or bugs. We have since purchased a second camera and use both to monitor our horses. The one outdoor has been through some severe winter weather and is still working. The battery life is also practical and lasts 3 weeks or more before needing charged.

Would also highly recommend the solar panel you can purchase as an accessory.

Great quality and truly hassle‑free setup

I’m really impressed with this AMTIFO wireless camera. The setup took only a few minutes, and the magnetic mount makes placement super easy. The video quality is sharp, even at night, and the battery lasts much longer than I expected. Motion detection works well, and the camera feels solid and weatherproof. For the price, this is an excellent home security upgrade. App is user friendly. The price is great compared to google or ring. Also great customer service and responsive.

It changed my mind negatively

I started out with 2 of these and ended up with 4. I really liked them. I purchased the solar charger for 2 of them (1 was free promotional and the other is indoors and can't use one). Anyways, I purchased a camera in Oct and it just died here in February. It started not holding a charge in January and I blamed the lack of sun, the cold, the solar charger. I finally took it down and took inside and charged it 2 days. 1%. All that and 1% battery AND I used the original charging cord. I'm very disappointed and while I will purchase another one, I will start looking at other brands. A failure to charge is an issue I can't have and be dealing with. It's a company issue, that they will refuse responsibility for due to return windows expiring. So what started out great isn't so great after all. Beware.

Gran ayuda

Esta cámara la utilizo para estar pendiente de mi hijo es muy buena. A parte que él detecta cualquiera movimiento y te envía la notificación con una captura realizada amo mi cámara. Tiene luz blanca si la necesitas usar en la oscuridad para mejorar la visibilidad

BEST CAMERA EVER

I absolutely LOVE these cameras. I have Blink cameras and these bet them out. They are rechargeable so dont need to constantly be plugged in. They also can be charged by solar energy panels! They have a light and alarm too. I get notifications faster and the videos are superior to the blink cameras. Oh oh and they are magnetic!!!! They dont miss motions and have been great as my twins baby monitor and in my son's Cubby bed.

Also they are super cute and worth every penny.

Useless, money wasted

Great camera for a great price

This camera is amazing. We mounted it to our garage door outside to get a view of what’s going on in front of the house. It’s great quality for a low price and the video and sound quality are surprisingly very good. Our wifi is upstairs in our office and this is outside on the garage and the connectivity seems to be working just fine. Also the battery life is very long lasting.

Quality Image, Siren, Armed/disarmed, and a Spot Light Feature

It’s easy to connect via WiFi and blue tooth. It is good at sensing motion, but the motion detection sensitivity can be adjusted. There’s also the ability in the app to set it to not detect people but just pets, and vice versa. It records every time it senses something based on your settings. This camera also has a very loud alarm and a super bright light, which in the settings you can choose when the light or siren will be triggered. There’s also an away mode, which will arm the house with the siren and camera. The audio is only one way - only the audio from the video comes through the phone. There is no two way talking. the interface on the app is weird but it’s easy to get used to. It is effective in monitoring your home while you’re gone, or even when your home, would also work as a baby monitor. The mounting is a simply magnet with two screws and there is a a magnet on the back of the camera base. The magnet is very strong and will hold the camera safely.

very good

I loved it, it has a long-lasting battery and an excellent video system and is very easy to use.

Love this camera!!

This has been a wonderful camera and is super reliable. It picks up motion quickly and the picture quality is great. I like being able to see what’s going on anytime from my phone. Definitely a solid option for home security.

Solid security cameras.

I have another model of this camera which I also gave 5 stars for. The image is very good and the battery life is good depending on how often you check the image. This model instead of the ball camera snapping magnetically into the cup, the camera has a small screw hole and the the cup has a threaded arm to go into it. It works fine but I found it got slightly less of an angle. I preferred the older mount. I will up date with pics soon as I’m back at our camp where these are located.

Edit: Updated review. I can verify that the picture quality and battery life are still very good. Almost a month and it’s at over 90% still. I added a pic of this cam on the bottom and the other camera above. Slightly different. Both magnetic. But this one has a small arm it screws on while the older one sits in the cup. This is the best angle you can get with either. You can’t get a full 90 degree angle with either but I found places to move it so that wouldn’t matter. Still very happy with these.

Very impressed for price point

Very impressed with camera quality. The app was a lil frustrating to get going but once it was setup it has worked flawlessly. I'd suggest adding an SD card if you want full access to anything on camera as the event recording timer is limited... Love that it's cordless and magnetic. Makes it very portable and useful for a wide variety of things... Would highly recommend!

Don't waste your time or money.

The wrong camera was sent. I have four others, and they're great. The night vision is really clear. I have no problem with the other cameras. It connects to different Wi-Fi networks with no problem. I am sending this one back and ordering another. I have five cameras, and one camera won't power up. Three cameras are not connecting to the app. I get no help from the seller.

Useless > DO NOT BUY

I purchased the AMTIFO wireless, outdoor magnetic camera (Model CG9), and I am completely unsatisfied with it. The so-called magnetic mount is trash. The black magnet glued to the back of the plastic mount is weak on its own, and it doesn't completely cover the back. If you add the weight of the camera, it will crash to the floor/ground. With a separately purchased mount, perhaps you could make it work.

I tried to use this camera outside. In my case, it gets a medium strength signal about 25 feet from the wifi router. Any further out than that, the signal begins to weaken. 25ft away from the router is not the desired location for the camera. I need it further away than that. This issue makes the camera useless for outside.

The Vicohome app is slow to load and display live footage. However, I was able to select the length of videos stored locally on the memory card.

I absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND this amtifo CG9 wireless outdoor camera to anyone.

BEWARE, ONLY 2 FREE YEARS ACCESS!

Beware of ONLY 2 FREE years of access, then gotta pay subscription fee. And only records detection clips not continuously but you can watch live. I think I'm gonna return it. There's others with free lifetime access to MY camera. Great quality but I have enough bills.

Excellent Wireless Magnetic Camera, Quick Easy Setup, Heavy Duty quality, Clear Picture

Security system for indoor or Outdoor, Wireless Install, Video, Recording, Motion Detection, Color Night Vision, Alarm, long lasting Battery Powered.

Setup was really easy after downloading the app. The camera has a really strong Magnet. I installed with the included iron plates on my wood post outside. The cameras have excellent Wide Angle view with great Color, Quality and Clarity. The camera is motion activated. The night vision is very clear. Battery Powered camera that lasts a long time before recharging.

Be sure to Charge camera for at least 8-hours before use.

Great camera for the money

Extremely nice and clear picture. set up was a breeze. the magnetic mounts are a great innovation

Great camera with a clear picture at a fantastic price!

We installed this camera at my dad’s house for additional peace of mind, and it’s been wonderful! Super easy to install by scanning a QR code and following the step by step instructions (I am not very tech savvy, so trust me when I say it was simple!). Was able to connect immediately with no hassle. This was one of the cheaper cameras with good reviews so I figured I’d give it a try. The magnetic hold is very strong, but also allows you to take it down to be charged. I’ve had it installed for just over a month, and the charge is at 98%. The picture is super clear, and the notifications work perfectly. I was also able to share the link with my sisters in other states, so they could keep an eye on my dad’s house too! This one works so well I’m going to get another one for the back of the house. Highly recommend!
