[@ralphmiranda2077]

A REALLY GOOD REVIEW THAT IS MORE EXTENSIVE AND NOT STOLEN FROM CNET! This is _the best_ video I've seen concerning this product!

[@gipfeli]

yup, same goes for me... i changed my mind, was so close to buying the dropcam... thanks a lot for this review!

[@1stBONER]

Awesome review! You pretty much just sold me on this, thank you!

[@jonnywilson375]

So in depth. Love the video. Thank you!

[@hddhdv]

Been looking at this camera for awhile. Bought it right after seeing your review. Great review with exact details needed.

[@AlexanderThickstunsChannel]

Thanks!

[@Harryak1]

Thanks! It is always helpful to hear from a person that actually has the camera in use.

[@Lennox1492]

I am really glad you did a review on this and showed the app! this has been the BEST review of the camera that actually shows what functions, size and capabilities the cam and app has. you answered all of my questions and I thumbed up, subscriber also! I wish this camera came in black tho! I don't want to pay extra for pro version which is pretty much exactly the same. I really like samsung but will be the first to admit the cameras look like toys. lol

[@Luna-cf3op]

Best review of any cam I've seen

[@route66minion]

What an awesome review video, thanks for taking the time to create and post it.

[@AlexanderThickstunsChannel]

Thanks!

[@shockoo]

Amazing video! Thanks for the review!

[@evalaviva]

Thanks. this was very helpful. I am looking for a camera to watch my pet when I'm on vacation.

[@DCR1200RT]

Costco have this on sale for about $100.00 Thanks for sharing, great video

[@RCCampbell]

Thanks! Glad u did the review.

[@charlestilley2576]

Thanks a million!💖 Have a sister model of the same.....lost instructions, these look to be exactly like mine!👍

[@willirb]

Great review video, Dude. Thanks.

[@Maherdalal]

Great review thanks. I am seriously thinking to buy a couple if these.

[@jsjustlookingjr]

Great review. Thanks!

[@kevindibb6534]

This video is 3 years old and this SmartCam looks awesome. I'm going to look for a more recent video too and hope it's even better! Or hope they didn't remove some of these cool features. I am going to hook it up to my SmartThings kit.

[@israelortiz7147]

Very good review, I think you covered everything.

[@tysonator5433]

Very good in depth review

[@carlosochoa3210]

Excellent review. Thank you!

[@BAngieB1]

This was so informative. Thanks so much for sharing this information

[@Shottacle]

Great review

[@oscars4442]

Great review. I just ordered the Samsung SmartCam. I was looking at the DropCam Pro but decided on the SmartCam Pro because I didn't want to pay the outrageous monthly fees!!!

[@IAmDizzle00]

Nice video, this helped in my decision to buy it.

[@mobbn973]

Great video thank u Sir!

[@shelbydowning1986]

Great review. Thanks for sharing

[@jeannekane1363]

Great explained so well very helpful

[@baghsing]

very good information !!

[@alam917406]

Well explained. Thanks

[@danielanderson7899]

Hello!!Thank you for this information..

[@AlexanderThickstunsChannel]

It performs admirably in lowlight. It has an infrared light (invisible to the naked eye) that it can pick up. I can see pretty clearly at night.

[@jimbomaz]

Great video. Very informative. Thanks

[@AlexanderThickstunsChannel]

This has an ethernet port for initial set up where you're required to plug it into your router. It has a 120 V AC power cord for its power.

[@Steinaraske]

Good Rewiew

[@marthaturner8909]

Great review...I would like to know how to connect with the camera through the internet browser. The website ask for an internet browser update to view the camera, but there isn't any available through Google Play for IE or Chrome for this camera.

[@caseyandkendra6823]

great reveiw .just wanted to ask if i have this on contstant record and wanted to watch an alert will it allow me to veiw the recording of the alert only, or do i have to scroll through all the recordings

[@kdar93]

great video bro.

[@rockingcrazy]

Hi, Thanks for the great Run-through. QUICK QUESTION: Does the software support uploading to any kind of cloud account where event videos can be uploaded as well ?

[@In2oil2]

very good review... however, no mention on how easy it is to install? Can you hard wire the system... how many cameras can you install. thanks , great JOB!

[@buzzsah]

A few things, but first great info thanks, now, on the sd card what is the max size it will take? and did I here you have dealt with other surveillance equipment ?

[@leonora702148]

Thanks for this video

[@AlexanderThickstunsChannel]

Thanks for watching!

[@eddyi001]

Very good review! We were thinking about getting the Dropcam Pro to use as a baby monitor. We like the quality of the Dropcam, and but don't love the subscription fees. One question: Do you have a sense of the video delay, i.e. if you're on the same network how much of a delay between the live event and the video on your device? Thanks again!

[@flyguylawns16]

Just got this and love it but do you if there is a way for the camera to show if it is being watched. When my wife and I are home it would be nice to see if the camera is being active or not.

[@814d937]

Is there any way that the recordings can be saved to a NAS or other external drives?

[@Air23Mac]

I've had mine for a few months now. You nailed it in the review - great little cam for the price. One problem is that it's not well suited for cold temps (below 32 degrees) and infrared leds bounce off windows. I purchased an external IR led array. Has anyone figured out an easy way to block the onboard leds, but leave night vision enabled so I can see my external one?

[@don.timeless4993]

Thanks Alexander for sharing this. I have question. When overwriting does it start from overwriting the first clip recorded? or it just overwrite the whole SD at once?

[@thebluray]

Great video, How do I turn off the green light after set up if possible?

[@sonoferin54]

Great review, you never gave a tutorial on the Network, a lot of people have a problem in this area. Especially if you have to port forward through the router

[@rodrigoweber5196]

Alexander, great video. I would like to know if two people (my wife and I) can receive the notifications at the same time, or it is just for one user. tks

[@aberkae]

Hi is there anyway to view the video in 1080p? Nice review

[@SuchOceans]

Hi, how does this Cam perform in low light or even no light at all spaces? If you can compare it to dropcam that'd be great. Thank you for the review.

[@nicalove77]

I saw this at costco, do I need internet or wifi to view live streaming to my phone. I need something like this to monitor my living room apartment when im not home. thanks

[@MTCCnycMTCCnyc]

Thanks for the review. Can you record videos onto your phone?

[@freireme]

Hello Alexander... Thanks for your video. Did you recently update the firmware? Did you still have the record option to a Google Drive or KZbin?

[@frostyan]

nice didn't know i could do so much . now i am thinking that this would go great with some kind of smart home security system what do you think .. and can you see the sd card on line or do you have to pull it out to see it

[@fvntkong]

Great Review.. How many units can be used ? only 1 or more than 1 in a whole office or house ?

[@franklevasseur8831]

Yes, your video was helpful. Most likely will purchase this camera. Thank You!

[@ArmageddonAfterparty]

I liked it, but I missed the nightvision review, which is most important to what I want a sec cam for.

[@memo1681]

Question: I am trying to decide between this and Dropcam pro. I like the SD card option for this but am curious if the pictures are saved just to the sd card, what if someone breaks in and smashes the camera or takes the sd card out. Would that footage be gone? Is there a way to automatically send photos/videos/motion to a cloud server for example?

[@peterknight1991]

Cheers Alexander, I thought that would be the only way, but it would be to noticeable. Thanks anyway.

[@any14aVideo]

So if you wanted to monitor 4 rooms what is the best value pack and how much.Thanks Ecuador Ed

[@tjle6230]

Hi Alexander Thickstun, Would you please show how to record video/photo onto Picasa/SD card? Thanks!

[@OpenMindedForever]

Great detailed video of this product Alexander! I'm comparing reviews via different online sources of the SS HD Pro and Drop Cam. So far my five reviews including yours profile this comparisons, all subjective depending on what features one's want and the weight one gives to each: SS HD Pro: Pro 1 - STORAGE = SD Card - No Pricey Cloud Fees Pro 2 - STORAGE = Can use TinyCamPro app to view/store video to phone Con 1 - DESIGN = Plastic Construction/More Weight/White Color Only Con 2 - QUALITY = Lower 1080p Video Quality Con 3 - SCOPE = Smaller View Angle Drop Cam: Con 1 - STORAGE = Pricey Monthly Cloud Recording Fee - No SD Card Con 2 - STORAGE = Can't Use TinyCamPro app to view/store video to phone Pro 1 - DESIGN = Metal Design/Less Weight/Black Color Only Pro 2 - QUALITY = Higher 1080p Video Quality Con 3 - SCOPE = Wider View Angle If less pricey functionality AND modest design quality is more important, then the SS HD Pro is the choice to make! But if more pricey functionality and higher design quality is more important, then the Drop Cam is the choice to make. For me, the deal breaker on the Drop Cam was the pricey cloud recording fees compounded by me not being able to view/store video on my phone memory storage beyond the SD card via TinyCamPro Monitor app. Free video storage is a bottom-line security cam decision-criteria for me ... though some folks love the idea of paying fees to store media in the cloud ... on someone else's server ... not me. I prefer storing media on my own medium ... SD card, external drive, my phone. The higher 1080p video quality and higher metal design quality of the drop cam is overshadowed by its pricey (non-free) cloud storage only limitation -- whereas if I could store/view video from the drop cam on my own medium (SD cards, external drive, DVR, phone, etc), then I would have chose the drop cam for its higher 1080p video, wider view angle, more durable metal design, less weight ... whereas both top model IP cams get an F grade for not coming in multiple colors ... white, black, and others to blend or contrast with different rooms. Thanks again Alex for helping me to make my final decision ... your detail really cool video helped me make my decision to get the Samsung cam!

[@hgriffiths2]

Can I have more than one camera installed of the WIFI in differnet rooms?

[@AlexanderThickstunsChannel]

Via smartphone on the Samsung app as long as you have a cellular data connection

[@lorimoeh]

Thank you ! That is a very nice review! I purchased this to send it to the Philippines I would like to ask if it works there they have 3.mbps and router I would like to be able to see them through my imac here. Do you think it will work ?

[@76238041]

I was hoping you would go to the "network" menu but you didn't :) is it possible to watch the surveillance video over cellular network?

[@Sierra1947]

Do you first have to create an account with Samsung to install this camera on a PC. tablet or phone? Thank you.

[@shern1]

hi' can we use 2 celphones to view the cam inside the house? just for me and for my wife. Kindly reply thanks.

[@Ash-le4pw]

Thanks Alexander, this is a great video and very helpful particularly when it can be quite daunting trying to find a good surveillance system. How much recording time does 32GB give you?

[@AlexanderThickstunsChannel]

About 4 days continuous coverage or up to two and a half weeks with event recording.

[@dondec]

Beautifully done review. Impressive. The one thing I was hoping to see was whether the camera had a low light facility, ie., ability to monitor at night with low or no indoor lighting. Thx in advance

[@yoanncruchet5282]

Hi, yes it's realy impressive when there's low light or even no lighting

[@jimschmidt5548]

If you do not set to continuous recording, when it senses motion will it start recording and for how long does it record?

[@thriftyfreebies]

Do you have any idea what the differences are with this one and the non-Pro version...?

[@jayceevu]

how was the actual set up of the camera? any wires connected besides a power source? assume it doesnt need ethernet connection and can hook up to wifi.

[@SirAndras]

I only have two question regarding this. Does it have higher than 20fps and can you have it connected via ethernet cable instead of WiFi? I'm looking for a camera mainly for my cats at home but also just in general in case something does happen. I don't like the monthly subs but I do want a camera that can record to storage (USB HDD or SD-card) and have a live view option as well. All the features are nice on this. How much video is a 32/64GB card good for? Do you find you have to delete everything every day? Thanks a lot for a thorough video, much appreciated!

[@mrchrismueller]

How many camaras can this unit support

[@astephenwilson]

Any thoughts on NAT? I.E. Being able to access directly via an IP address?

[@jamesdowse2799]

Can you set this only to motion detect via a schedule?

[@bobwong605]

Why cant I buy one in retails shops in Australia except on ebay or amazon websites?

[@monicamelogno6495]

Hi. I need your help because on my iPhone i can only see the live video when i m conected to the same wifi that the camera is conected. It does not work with LTE. What should i do? Thanks.

[@TheSir333]

Since it is wireless? Where does it get it's power source? Does it run on batteries or something?

[@kengere]

What app are you using to record you iPhone screen.

[@mityajamail5246]

You know it says it works with smart things and it does it at all or is it the Samsung hub third generation that it won’t work with? Did it only work with the second generation hub? I have two of these cameras which I love and I had just purchased a Samsung hubThird generation and it will not let you install it on there nor can you see it as a camera that even exists, just the new SmartCam. Do you know anything of this please? Thank you. I hope I said that right

[@nooneelse1837]

Hello sir happy to see this so long after but I can’t seem to find the right app or doing something not right and can’t connect my samsung snh-c6410bn even wired to the router any chance you can help me thank you so much ❤

[@OcieHill]

Thank you, this was so helpful. I really don't care for the inability to record in the cloud. I think someone nailed it... If a thief comes in and steal your camera, the evidence is going with it. :-( Thank you anyway!

[@joseph1061990]

I am planning to buy this camera for my house in the philippines so i can monitor things there. do you know what is the minimum speed that this camera will work decently? Also, does this ip camera continuously using data even if no one is viewing or it just use data when it is viewed? I really can't decide if i am getting the drop cam or this one.

[@Ozzie4Para]

How well does the motion detection work on this camera? I have the Nest camera and the motion detection literally sucks. I chose the area to detect motion and yet I constantly get notifications from Nest even though there was nothing. Worse part about this is I prepaid one year in advance for the crappy service. Never again...

[@paultremblay4836]

How do you setup the camera for the internet without access to the modem.

[@elongatuspiranha]

How does the image quality compared to you dropcam pro?

[@davidberke2621]

I like the HD Pro but looking for a less expensive option. Features I would like are: wifi, wide angle lens, records to a SD card vs. the cloud (don't want to pay the monthly fee), ability to see a live feed on my phone and ideally also view the recorded video from the SD card, motion detector (don't need a continuos feed), and software that actually works on my computer, the web and phone :-). I bought a D-Link camera on Amazon that is supposed to do everything I want but the software is so poorly written it does not work. Any suggestions?

[@leftyrsa]

Can the camera be used outside of the USA. I won a house in Aruba and want to install one there. I do have wifi there 24/7. Thanks Leon

[@xowi]

Excellent video, thanks for sharing. How are video captures moved from the HD card to Google Picasa? Can this be accomplished remotely via smartphone or iPad?

[@AlexanderThickstunsChannel]

So far as I know, you log into google from the app, and as long as you have wifi in the house the camera will automatically upload pictures to google picasa.

[@vasu4tube]

Is there a way to save the recordings to a hard drive or NAS ?

[@mine0002]

Can it store store an external nvr or dvr. How big is the max storage?

[@eddorini9745]

What about multiple cameras and how many can you have

[@MMG6]

Can you record to the cloud? And is it free?

[@romeocapilano8246]

Good video, but you omitted how the camera is powered. Thanks.

[@Unitedflyier]

Can you still use all those features if you use the smart things app instead of the smart cam app from Samsung?

[@martinduplessis9404]

Hi Alex. Tks great video. I am looking for a camera that will allow me to view outside through a window, while placing the camera inside the house. Do you perhaps know if the camera and IR functionality will work through the glass?

[@AlexanderThickstunsChannel]

You'll want to place it at an angle against the glass so it does not reflect directly back. It won't work really well, but some of the light may get through. However, Samsung also has an outdoor wireless camera.
