It comes with motion, sound, temperature and humidity sensors and video and audio storage options. Live picture quality is quite good and you can take 4 megapixel still images, lets you see in the dark for up to 33 feet and if there is no wireless where you are, it has direct WiFi connection for up to 500 feet (creates its own WiFi network- the device and cam can connect one on one). WiFi connection is without wires but needs power to operate after two to extended four hour battery life. You can have a conversation back and forth from the camera to device with the 2-way audio and you can also choose to mute the sound but one of the customers commented that the sound quality is not the best. FLIR Cloud Plus subscription is good for heavier users and if you are not intending to pay for it, you get a 30-day trial free of charge then it switches to FLIR Cloud Basic.In the box you will find the wall mounting hardware, indoor stand, USB power adapter, 10 ft. USB cable, 8gb micro SD card, Instruction Manual (you’ll find better instructions online) and 12 month manufacturer warranty. You need to assign a different password for each camera as an extra security measure. It is one of the most versatile high definition security cameras on the market with a few great unique features.
