LUNA HOME

Extremely poor night vision. Setup was hard to get setup, kept dropping wifi, and signal point was about 6 feet away.
They had support, but even they could not resolve or tell way the picture was so bad.

I'm leaving this review from personal experience from luna Ai enabled security cameras and how good they are. Especially for me
i am confined to a wheelchair so having knowledge of my surroundings is a must
luna ai security is #1 in my book.
I have 2 luna cameras by the time done securing my house garage and my property I'll have 8 of them
Install is easy stick to the windows and they took me about 2 minutes to install.
over the years i have purchased ring,nest,& canary cameras. for what they charge for 1 of there unreliable security cameras i can buy 8
3 luna ai cameras. And still have money to grab lunch with the money i am saving.
luna.you guys rock 5 stars sellers all the well a d in today's time you can never be to careful
the 4th picture is the night view that's how good they are night or day

Believe the warning and ignore any good reviews. Since I had a subscription I had to buy a new camera when the first one just died. This one won’t maintain a connection for more than about a 15 seconds. Do not waste your money.

I’ve had my camera for about three months and I have to say that it has excellent video quality, motion detection, night vision is so clear. I would give this camera and app a huge thumbs up.👍

mounted it low on window for view of my deck because I had something coming up on my deck eating food and I wanted to see if it was a cat a possum or a raccoon. Put the dish on top of the laundry basket view of the camera. The camera has never caught the animal. Each night the food is gone. It captures light change when a car drives by between all my trees and all my bushes 8 feet away from my dad. But it cannot capture an animal crawling around on my deck! i’ve put the dish flap on the outdoor carpet. I’ve spread food around on the carpet thinking that once it starts walking around to get the food it would capture it and it never captured anything yet every day the food is gone!

I bought the two pack of these and I’m really impressed with the quality of the camera itself. One of them works nearly flawlessly however the other one not so much. After about six months, there is now a purple hue showing through it. They do seem to do frequent updates to the app, however, lately my cameras seem to randomly disconnect and in some cases I have to delete it from the app and go out and reset the whole thing. (Fortunately, with the Bluetooth feature, it is an easier process) Because of this I will not be renewing my subscription with them and will be looking for alternatives. I have also recently noticed it does not pick everything up. In one instance there was two firetrucks and an ambulance on my street for 30 minutes right in front of my house and it didn’t pick any of it up. Not even the medics/firemen walking around, so it was like the whole event never even happened. This is strange because it will sometimes pick cars coming down the street over 100 yards away and even note the color, so the cameras are very inconsistent. This is a shame because I have five different cameras that I will have to replace and remount new ones. Personally, I think most of the problems have to do with the app and not the hardware other than the color issue on one of them.

This camera is awesome! Not only is it a SECURITY matter, but I also get to enjoy the bunnies, chipmunks, etc. who come around all day and late at night to eat the seeds and carrots I put out. Yes I’m weird. The night vision is also outstanding!! Plus… I am a technology idiot, and it was super easy for me too Put up and connect with my phone.

They are not a great product. Pictures aren’t crisp and the night images look weird. Even if you put in a SD card, it takes FOREVER to load the footage. I wish I didn’t throw away the box because I would have returned the second camera I bought.

You have to have a subscription for a lot of the functions, which is a little sad. The camera sticks to the window well and the cord comes with pieces to keep the wires organized to the wall well.
The camera was easy to set up, the voice on it was loud until it allowed me to turn it down after connecting to the wifi. It connected well and has stayed connected so far.
It connects to your phone easily and without the subscription you can still connect to the app and see see the camera feed. The quality of which is ok but isnt great. It is good enough to see what you need up close.

The view is amazing!!!
Nite time is bright very easy to see
You can opt for a free/app or buy subscription which is very reasonable and can stack 5 cameras, value!
Very easy-to-use and set up!

I love that it’s safe from being tampered with. Great video resolution.

I got this to keep an eye on my police K9 while in the car. This camera is very clear and does well in low light. The app is very easy to use and there's not a ton of ads like others. It's very user friendly and I'm very happy with it.

Great window camera and quality. Value for the money. Easy to setup.
Slimesha
Great cameras really easy to install and activate. Nice fit and finish great with not having any glare being mounted to the window. Quick notifications. Connected to Wi-Fi really quickly and easily. I really like the video quality of the units everything is sharp and clear with quick menu options. The camera is really easy to remove with the magnet ring being left on the window so you can clean the window and clean the lens on the camera if needed. Really great value for your money.

I’m very happy with my Luna camera. It’s small and compact, so it fits perfectly right in the window without taking up any space. You can barely notice it’s there, which I really like. The picture quality is excellent, and the audio is clear and loud. Overall, it’s a great camera for home security.

Wow! The very first thing the camera caught after I put it up last night was 2 girls coming up onto our porch, I have plant containers that could have looked like packages, and I think that's what they were looking to grab. It was at 12:30 at night, their car was parked across the street waiting .. they come up, look and take off to their car. That's crazy!! It's not a great angle though, so I'm going to have to figure out how to get more porch coverage. We are not allowed to have ring type doorbell cameras in my apartment complex (which I find very odd). I obviously need something!
But go Luna for proving your worth with the very first capture!!! 😁 I've already ordered a couple more!
*** One thing, I didn't hear the sound until I downloaded the video and sent it to my daughter, not sure why. So it looks like they realized there were no packages and turned it into a ding dong ditch.

Love the night vision. Easy to use.

Okay, that title was a gross dumbing down of it, but I would say it’s fairly accurate.
So the camera itself is a 2MP camera, with some night vision ability. I have to say, I was pretty surprised by the clarity, as well as the ability to zoom in. Not that I was looking, but I was able to somewhat read license plates on cars parked across the street. Not bad at all. The night vision does do a pretty good job of “brightening” the area so it looks relatively light even in the middle of the night.
Now installing and setting up the camera was fairly simple. The camera comes with a pretty long (maybe 10 foot) extension and a wall adapter to plug into. Assuming you have an outlet relatively close to where you want the camera, you should be fine. Of course, that may not always be the case, but let’s ignore that for a second. Let me say that you need to be very sure where you want this to go. In my case, I was actually a little off from where I wanted it - and it’s stuck. No way was I going to pull this off and risk not being able to mount it again, so I’m more or less making do with it.
One thing I was not expecting but was pleasantly surprised to find - the camera also has a speaker and microphone. That’s right, through the app you can hear and speak through the camera. The sound quality on either isn’t great but frankly, if that’s something you want, you really should be getting a much higher quality security set up.
Now to the less fun part. Motion detection on this is sensitive. Really sensitive. I get a ridiculous amounts of notifications of “motion detected”. In some cases, a car’s headlights turned down the street. Or someone walked by the front of the house. Or the sun is reflecting off a window. Or the wind moved a leaf. Or something imaginary but I swear something moved! You will have to prepare for a lot of notifications. I’m now charging my watch multiple times a day as a result.
And the biggest issue of all…the software. If all you want to do is watch live video, you can absolutely do that. If you’re looking for something useful, well, you’re gonna pay for that. The software does not record security video. You’ll get a still of whatever might’ve triggered it, but because it’s a single photo, there’s no telling if you’ll actually SEE the thing that triggered the response. However, it will relentlessly tell you that if you sign up for the subscription, you’ll get video as well as more intelligent filtering. In theory it will be able to tell if it’s a person triggering the response, or just a wayward leaf. And I mean relentless. Every notification (and there are a lot of them) leads you back to the stored snapshots…but first there’s a screen trying to get you to pay up.
The end result is a camera that works surprisingly well, and software that really wants you to pay for an upgrade. I will likely leave it up in hopes of catching a hummingbird here or there, but as a security measure, this just isn’t it.
Breakdown of attached photos - First, daytime with someone walking away from the camera. Second, night vision, which is surprisingly good. Third, that same image zoomed in to the car across the street. And finally, the number of notifications I’ve gotten in the 30 minutes or so while writing this. Yeah, it’s a lot.

I ordered this window camera to keep an eye on my car from a bedroom window in my apartment for extra security. It was easy to install, you just stick it to the glass & plug in (decent cable length). The picture is clear and even has night vision. There is a feature where you can speak through the camera which is really cool. The smart alert lets you know when there is movement. The only negative is you need to have a subscription if you want to utilize all the features. Its not top of the line camera but for the price point, it's a great little budget security camera for my needs. I would recommend.

Consider this a nice, feature-limited camera unless you want to pay for a subscription service, which I just don't recommend doing.
Setup was easy. You need to install an app on your mobile device to do *anything* with this camera. I've tried hunting down RTSP info for streaming the feed and I've yet to discover a way to do so. I suppose that could be a good thing for some but I'm the kind of person who prefers a bit more control. I also, do not like the app at all. Once you get the camera configured, everything else around the camera is some form of advertisement trying to encourage you to subscribe.
We wound up 3D printing some other mount and using the sticky magnet ring to help adhere it to our front window (on the inside) at an angle to get a view of our driveway. Unfortunately, we don't have any windows that offer a straight ahead view at the area we wanted to monitor. So far, it's working out alright. I do wish there were an alternative mounting solution for this camera.
The picture quality is pretty decent for what it is. The night vision is surprising as well too since it's in color. We happen to have a couple of street lamps on and in view as well that help this look nearly as bright as the day view.
All in all, it's an alright camera, I just wish it weren't buried behind a sea of paywalls for features or ad-free viewing.

Every month, I take a few days off for business, so I needed something easy that would allow me to stay in touch with my family while I'm away. Since the driveway is the primary location where people would congregate, I installed this camera on the upstairs window facing it.
I check the app at night when I'm out of town to make sure everything appears to be normal. I don't feel like I'm guessing because the image is obvious even in the dark. I even laughed once when I saw a neighbor's cat loitering on the porch.
I don't have to stare at the screen all the time thanks to the motion alerts. I receive a notice whenever a car pulls up or someone walks up. I get the impression that I don't need to be constantly on my phone, but I also know that I won't miss anything crucial.

I like this indoor camera. It does a good job of picking up crisp and clear video that is easy to review. The camera was easy to set up and place in my home. It doesn't take up much space or draw attention to itself. The camera can be set up with an app on my phone for easy monitoring and interaction. The camera has a color nighttime mode which is pretty cool too. The camera itself looks like it is put together well and feels like it is solid and durable. This indoor camera has been a nice option that is easy to work with and helps me monitor my home.

This indoor camera was a nice find. It was easy to set up in our home and pair with an app on our phone. It does a good job of capturing images and videos that are easy to check on and monitor. It has a two-way voice feature that is handy and allows us to interact with our kids. The phone app is convenient to monitor and check on how things are going at our home while we are away. The camera is lightweight and compact, so it is easy to move around and work with. I also like how well made and how solidly constructed the camera appears to be. This indoor camera is a good option for monitoring our home and that is easy to use.

This camera is really easy to use and super easy to set up. First, you need to choose whether you're gonna have the camera in direct sunlight or not. In direct sunlight, you would use the larger of the 2 mounting magnets. Then you need to connect the camera to a power using the usb adapter. Once plugged in, the camera should say something along the lines of follow the instructions in the app, what you can download via the QR code that's on the instruction page. Then you can follow the app instructions to connect to wifi. Once you are connected to wifi, the cameras ai voice will alert you that you have successfully connected. You can either choose one of the plans that they have for cloud service, or you can just use the camera for live events or you can insert an SD everything on the SD card.

Edit after a few days using:
It fell off the sticky ring after 3.5 days, so I guess the sticky ring isn't as nice as I thought. And it the flaky recording was probably my SD card - I removed it and can no longer record, but it streams from anywhere. This device is NOT AI-equipped, since that is all subscription-based. So only the subscription is AI-equipped. The night vision is surprisingly clear, but there are a couple street lights on my block.
The software only installs on a phone, and you cannot just open the stream on a PC browser, so that's annoying.
If I wanted a decent camera to watch my 3d prints from anywhere on my phone, this would be a good contender, but I'd have to figure out how to mount it nicely.
Original review / first impressions:
This camera is ok. You have to download an app to set it up using your phone and get it on your WiFi. The streaming quality over WiFi is really good, and the speaker on the camera is very clear.
The field of view is kind of limited. On my first floor window, I barely get a view of the porch from the front bedroom window.
From my second story bedroom window, I have to rotate the camera sideways to see any of my driveway or the curb, which is about 25 feet back from my house. Then I see a lot of sky from what should be the wide angle. If I set it up how it's supposed to be, then I can see the street for about 3 and a half houses. I'll keep it this direction for now, not sure what it'll catch on my side.
The sticky magnetic mounting ring works really well. (EDIT: nevermind, fell after a few days. I just stuck it back on, hope it lasts?)
My biggest complaint is that of course all the best features are hidden behind a pay wall. Anything with AI in the feature you have to shell out 15 dollars a month to use. 7 day trial is available but I'm going to pass.
It does have the option of recording on SD card, which I stuck in a 128gb card. I am doing that, but payback has been super flaky so far. I could have a bad card, it was just a cheap generic one.
With the basic motion detection, I get a notification every time a car drives past the house. I think this is a sneaky way to pester you to upgrade to their AI motion tracking, which can filter out the events.
You really need multiple indoor and outdoor cameras for this system to be worth the cost of subscribing, because one just isn't enough coverage.
I would say this camera could be a great supplement if you're already in their system and want an additional angle from a window without any hassle installing.
If you're not already using Luna's service, though, this is not a good first camera.
I just opened it today, so haven't tried the night view yet.
Thanks for reading my review!
