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.

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.

Very good for my use but they are slow to start recording - simple set up and completely mobile. . .

Netgear has announced this system will no longer be supported effective December 2017. Best to look elsewhere: [...]

Unlike previous remote camera models, this is incredibly easy to set up. If you can read and press a button, your all set, in seconds. Yes, there is a yearly fee for ability to monitor over the internet either by cell phone or computer, but it's pennies given the usefulness and versatility of the cameras. Move from one spot to another with no change in software or settings. A great product at any price.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

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.
