Upgraded to 3 stars. The issues seemed to resolve themselves after resetting the camera multiple times, attaching the camera to my phone with the screen powered off before attaching the screen, and using AI to figure out how to share the camera with others. Importantly, the screen seems to be working over wifi now, which is the most important feature for us. if the camera works stably as is, it is fine. good even. but the inexplicable problems in the beginning and difficulty to set the thing up should keep most people away from this product. if you are lucky and it works for you out of the box, it may be a 5 star camera. I lost hours to the thing not working as it should.

Original 1 star review:
This product is a hot mess. Avoid. Brand new unit. Plugged in constantly. And yet, the battery dies and the monitor stops working. There is no way to keep the camera running. Also, the included screen is not WiFi, you have to use the screen OR app, but not both. why? You cannot disable smart focus and leave it zoomed in and set at one spot. Sharing camera does not work
The camera image is great when the battery is charged, but that never happens. It is possible that these are all software issues, but as it stands, camera is an unusable.
Also, this camera was launched by Anker in 2024, and yet there are < 100 reviews? How?
