What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The 5MP resolution, 10 zoom ratio, and manual focus are stated separately in the listing. The zoom implementation is not specified, so confirm the optics and viewing behavior if zoom is important. The listing's one-hour sunlight claim is a manufacturer estimate for up to 24 hours of use, not an unconditional battery-life guarantee. Customer feedback also differs on battery performance, Wi-Fi reception, reliability and motion detection.
