i have two of these, purchased the samsung smartthings camera to be sure they would work flawlessly without any issues. every time i think, "hey, i'll just check the camera and see how things are going at home" one or both are offline. when i come home, i reset them and they work fine again... for a few days. them we start all over again and i have to reset them. for the price, this should not be a problem.

this camera has horrible and i mean an absolutely horrible wifi chip that is the one major down fall otherwise the video and audio are the best out there , nothing comes close but when it can't cannot to your network or randomly disconnects that basically means it's unusable

less than 10 feet from new router and 88% signal . disconnects itself at random. still cant figure out cost for subscription , thousands of words to accept conditions ????? trying to do business is a cruel joke , currently shopping for a different product , tech support sucks

image quality ia excellent, even while zooming in. however sound quality is not good when watching live feed, microphone/speaker not on par with samsung quality product. camera was purchased for viewing not listening/talking which is why i'd recommend product. if you wwnt for speaker/mic clarity as well, this may not be for you.

i bought 2 cameras, one for a nursery monitor & one for my back porch to view the back yard. the nursery monitor is awesome. however the lights from the night vision camera on the porch reflect off the windows so i cannot see outside. this is not a criticism of the camera just a fact in case anyone planned to do that sorry if application. i'm certain it will be fine when the windows are removed for warm weather but during the winter months i'm only able to see out during the daytime. i'm very happy with this purchase.

the camera does not connect to my phone. i spent hours to try it but it always show failure. tried everything the instruction told me still does not work. i am really unhappy with experience. if i can get my money back without sending it back i would destroy it with a hammer. i though samsung is a good company but i am wrong!

the camera works good, for the first month, then they spring on you that they need a 8$/month subscription to continue to be usefull... the camera only takes 10 seconds of video instead of the 60 second videos when i first installed them... instead of providing a service for the 8$ a month they limit the use if you dont pay... sounds to me like blackmail, but at the very least its a scam and crummy way to do business... my entire home is smarthings... alarm appliances and home automation... its time to find a replacement for it all... sad, because smarthings started off so good..

although the camera does the job it constantly disconnects and reconnects to the samsung hub. we have the camera located in out living room and notice that several times a day it disconnects to hub. i hope there is a fix for this and it makes me doubt it's reliably as a security camera.

i would love to write a review if the camera, but unfortunately it won’t even connect to my smartthings mesh wifi. i believe the issue is it is unable to “see” the 2.4ghz band on a mesh wifi which presents as a single ssid. it’s astonishing to me that a product from the same company, with the same smartthings brand, has this issue. multiple interactions with samsung support have gotten us nowhere. we are resigned to leaving this thing in a drawer to gather dust, and i am now considering getting rid of my smartthings products altogether.

this expensive camera works when connected but it disconnects at least 3 times a day and needs to be power-cycled to re-connect. pretty crap-tastic. i have a spectrum wifi router that is configured in my samsung galaxy 20 ultra so it was set up automatically and easily in the smartthings app. it started working immediately which was nice and works well when "connected". too bad it disconnects at least 2 or 3 times a day and it requires human intervention so this blows the idea of security out of the water. i thought samsung would be better than other cheapo crappy camera but they are just as bad. its an expensive and very disappointing toy at this point.

so i got 2 of these as a bundle after buying new phones and was looking forward to using them downstairs to keep an eye on things, escpecially our dog and kids, its got great quality videos,...when they want to record, or when its not offline randomly or not choosing when it wants to not upload videos of feed to my app. i have reset them both twice and i still have issues with my kitchen one. they are both within range of the router. so im not sure why they choose to be on in the most random moments and then off other tines, however, like i said, when they are onthey have great quality and nice speakers to do a 2way chat with kiddos downstairs, when you need to back on track.

this is easily the worst system i've ever encountered. it's so bad and so unbelievably frustrating and maddening to use. samsung should ditch this system entirely. the app is clunky and only works sometimes. the cameras lose connection then have to be unplugged and replugged to regain connection. i have good signal strength - 1 is 10 feet from my router & 100% strength - and that's the worst behaving one. i've contacted smartthings support and basically get the "tech runaround" you'd expect. have you unplugged and replugged. uninstall the app and reinstall. remove the cameras and re-add them - which btw completely erases your entire history of clips and they didn't warn me. terrible. not enough room here to describe the horridness of this system. so unreliable it's worthless. big mistake.

I bought three cameras. Two will no longer connect to my Samsung account. The third states weak WIFI. It is fivr feet from an AP. All Samsung does is keep putting me on hold. Waste of money and time.

I received this interior camera when I purchased my Galaxy S20 plus last month. This camera is always "offline". The camera is located 10 feet from my router and smartthings hub in direct line of sight. The cameras will work for a few days and then the just stop working, usually at the most inopportune time. The firmware needs an update. Samsung needs to fix this issue.

I bought two of these cameras before Samsung took over. My RC8335PRO units no longer connect to the new Samsung (Smart things App) nor can I connect either camera to my wireless web. It was fun for a year or so but now just plastic junk.

I was excited to get my new camera setup and working, but setup would hang at the point where it registers with Samsung. I registered my Smartthings Cam on my Samsung online account, and tried setup again, same thing, unable to register with Samsung. I don't get it.

I bought this camera 3 months ago & am not a big fan. I can only connect it for a few hors and have to disconnect because the camera heats up easily. Unfortunately, I can't leave this camera on throughout the night, or day in that matter. Also, when I do use it the signal goes off & on.

This is a budget camera it does have fhd and hd settings. Picture is really good I like the fact that I can talk thru the camera and listen even if I'm 100 miles away .my only complaint is 8 bucks a month for cloud when Samsung could let the people that already have. Samsung account just link it .60 sec 8s not alot of time but it is enough to identify someone I own of these right now

I am monitoring my cat with the camera and it does the job. Like the features and I am satisfied with the product. I am just wondering if additional power cable for this camera can be purchased somewhere.
