Great cameras

I took off three stars for this being not a two pack as described - there is one camera in here. I initially thought they'd sent the wrong one and so went through the conversations with the bot for 20-30 min, and waited a few more days while they sent a replacement item. It too is a single camera. Considering a large part of the reason I got this is for the two-pack, for it to not actually have two cameras immediately doubles the cost-per-item and drastically changes the value proposition. On opening the manual you're greeted with two QR codes. One is for the "latest" version of the manual and the other for the app. Both take you to the same page on the manufacturer's site, which is a dead link (see the screenshots and try scanning the codes yourselves from the other pictures). This is not a good sign, which I took another star off for. The setup and video quality are adequate - it's like doorbell cameras or cell phone cameras from several years ago. Serviceable in good light, bad in direct sun or backlighting, and not great in the dark. It does have an SD slot for storing video (though be sure you're checking the card periodically if you don't want to use the cloud storage function, as if the card dies you won't have anything but live video). I'd rate the video probably 3/5 - decent overall, but nothing special. For the price of a two pack it's about what I'd expect, but since this really only comes with one item it's not great.

Buena marca es todo muy nitido

Not my first Merkury cam. Works well for what I need it for. Good price and fast delivery

The camera itself was fine. The problem is with the SD card slot. I wasn't planning on paying a subscription so having the option to use SD card was the selling point. It is one of the worse designed slots I've seen. It's big enough that the card doesnt fit snuggly and instead can be moved around and can be even inserted at an angle. When it clicks in place, it is still loose. Let me say that again, it doesn't lock into place. This is why the app never recognizes the card. I bought another one of these cameras at Walmart and still the same issue. No SD is recognized because the slot doesn't work as intended. Not sure if other people have same issue, but if you're planning on getting this because of the SD card option, dont. And no, it's not the SD card. I got 2 brand new ones and they work fine on my PC.

Used to keep track of elderly parents when they don't answer the phone, I know they are okay without driving to their house.

These cameras are horrible, please don’t waste your money. The app looks like middle schoolers put it together, I take that back school kids would have done a better job. I’m just gonna go and do what I should have done initially and buy blink. I cannot access video playback or alert photos. The app pushes the cloud service hard. They cannot compare to merkurys earlier models some of which work great and some of which have mysteriously stopped working. Never again.

The camera image is very good in both bright and dark environments, the speaker has reasonable sound quality, and the app installation and programming aren't too difficult. I didn't see anything about having to pay to use it, but since I bought two cameras, I had to pay $5.90 per month to access both. I also didn't read anything about needing 2.4G internet, so I had to buy a device to transmit 2.4G and 5G Wi-Fi. I wanted to put one camera in the garage and another inside the house in a strategic location for better visibility because a friend's car spontaneously caught fire in the garage after he got home; the fire started 10 minutes later. So I was very worried because my garage is below the bedrooms of the house. Therefore, I took precautions with interconnected smoke detectors that I can deactivate through the app. But to do this, I wanted to see what triggered the sensor, and consequently the cameras, to know if there was a fire or not. Therefore, I only didn't give it 5 stars because of these details, which I believe are just as important as the settings and everything else about the camera.
