Not good, not bad. App fails to record most things, motion or sound. Had it for about a year now and I'm done with its bull. Yes, I turned the sensitivity up and drew the detection boxes, yet still it fails to record most motion and sounds. You're better off getting something a little more expensive, as you get what you pay for. Kangaroo is probably one of the lowest tiers of security camera available. Keep that in mind if you're considering buying one.

Bad security system, just get something a little more expensive. For $50 more you could get something that actually works. The pictures from the doorbell never load, the tone barely plays when it's rung, and the camera captures cars driving by even on the lowest setting. I'm disappointed with the product. So, go spend that extra cash and return this thing. You'll be happy you did.

This doorbell is a disappointment and a big failure. First, they make animated pictures, not movies. They are short in time, blurry, impossible to recognize anything!!! After the picture is taken and the notification is sent, the app says "preparing photo" by the time the picture actually loads, the person already rang 5 times. Again, the quality of the moving pics are horrible. Not to say very disappointing that there's no live feed.... Trash 🚮

Horrible. Setup was pretty easy. However, it doesn't operate well. Was vacuuming the house and it detected it as the fire alarm going off multiple times. Pin code wouldn't work after alarm goes off, when it worked just fine before. Had to try the same code 7 times, then it finally took it. Invited someone else in my house to the system and was never able to get them setup. Got this free with my home insurance. It's not even worth keeping for free. It's going in the trash.

Right now, my doorbell camera is half useless. I can't leave motion detection on without getting a notification every time a car passes on the road (well outside of the 8 ft. motion zone it's set to). My images are totally blown out no matter what setting I have it on, and half the time the gif misses the person who rang the bell or walked up to the door. It's kind of a mess. Really hoping the eventual update clears up some of these issues. I'll update if it does.

I didn't expect much because of the price, but it STILL managed to disappoint. All I wanted was a way to see who's at my door. Instead, I get notifications for every car, cloud, and leaf ... but it certainly doesn't detect any actual people on my porch. The false negatives are actively DECREASING my safety. I have excellent WiFi and a very close router; that's not the issue. The app itself is terrible -- I can't review more than a handful of the (useless) notifications without it crashing.
