Orb Mini | PTZ Camera | Mini but Mighty

Great camera! Quality of picture could be a bit better but it works for what I need it for :)

I have owned a few Netvue cameras for a while, having tried several other brands that could not maintain a good wifi connection. My Netvue cameras never drop their connections! This little camera can cover a whole room with its remote 360-degree pan and the Netvue subscriptions are very reasonable. The picture quality is great, even in a nearly dark room. The only negative I might have is that the motion detection is perhaps a bit too sensitive and might generate some false alerts (my Netvue outside camera does this), but better that than missing something important!

The set-up instructions are easy to follow, but It took multiple attempts to get it set up. If works great now. Picture quality is good. Love the 360 degree viewing ability.

I like this camera. For the price I feel like you can’t beat it. The image quality is great. Motion detection is great too. These cameras are nice to have to keep an eye on a pet when you’re in another room or not around. Can’t say my dog likes it as much as I do as she knows she’s being watched lol. This is the third Netvue camera I have purchased. I recommend this brand to friends and family all the time. This one is a bit smaller than the ones I had previously so I like that too. Oh, night vision- works top notch too. I have found the company to be responsive too. All around, a great buy.

This item works really well the price is also great. I bought it to monitor my puppy and I was amazed how well this little thing works plus you can speak to it from where ever you’re at. Only bummer is that you need to subscribe to a membership to have service .First month was free but to continue this app you need to subscribe .

The camera is great and the set up is quick and easy will be buying more because the price point is great. The camera does have some shortcomings such as depending on the connection video may lag. Movement is adequate not smooth but does the job. The camera can pivot almost all the way around and is great to monitor around the room.

Netvue Mini Orb I’ve been playing around with Netvues newest mini orb and I’m really impressed by the clarity of the picture it provides. What I really appreciate is the app that you download on IOS, although getting it to connect to the app wasn’t as easy as I would have liked (took a few tries) I did finally get it done. Once connected the camera works great! Simply open up the app on your phone and the viewing starts quite fast unlike other cameras I have that take some time to fully connect. I love its ability to move left and right and up and down with great ease as well. Overall for the price you pay its really a great camera. Thanks!

This is the 4th camera I got. Best purchase ever. and I have recommended it to all my friends. Customer service was excellent. When I had issue with on of the cameras.

The product arrive in amazing conditions and works amazingly. It's easy to set up and easy to use. I'll definitely recommend this to anyone looking for cameras!

I can check on my house and my pet while I am not home. I can talk to my dog. I receive any update if motion is de texted and I can choose what kind of motion do I want to be notified.

My Orb Mini works perfectly. I’m pointing it at the stairs and can see someone or a kitty goes upstairs or comes back down. I’m notified with a beep on my phone so there are no surprises. This device is exactly what I needed.

I tried other little indoor cameras that you can control the view remotely. This is the only one that I would recommend. It works like it is supposed to. I can see my entire apartment remotely.

i am writing this review in comparison the the Netvue Home Cam i have as well. to start - the mini orb cam picture quality is much more pixelated than the home cam, i’m not sure how it performs outside as i only use it inside. night vision - the mini orb night vision is actually a little better than the home cam, but it’s still pixelated but you can make more out. i do like that you’re able to remotely pivot the camera unlike with the home cam which you have to physically move which limits your viewing convenience. overall the mini orb is a decent camera, especially for the price. the day time cam is pixelated, but not so much that you can’t make things out. the night vision is good. you’re able to move the camera through your phone.

Normally I don’t write reviews but I felt it was necessary this time. So I bought this camera for my dog last march it worked great for about a year then suddenly it stopped working the past month or so. I tried resetting it several times, restarted my Wi-Fi and the camera itself. Plugged it in different outlets, used a different cord. Basically I tried everything and nothing worked it was clearly defective so I contacted customer support for help and maybe a replacement but all they did was tell me to do things again I had already done more than once that of course didn’t work..they tried to blame it on my Wi-Fi which it has been working fine with for a year so that clearly wasn’t the issue..instead of sending me a new one or literally anything else helpful they just said my issue would be “escalated” and someone would contact me in 48 hours…not sure what else could be done to fix the issue but it seemed they wanted to do anything but send me a replacement. Very disappointed. Will be buying a replacement camera elsewhere.

Easy setup, Clear picture, great night vision, motion detection seems to work. They've improved their app to allow video playback via SD card storage - and it's pretty slick. No problems at all.

This camera is very easy to setup. I’m impressed how It records in clear high-definition with a wide 360-degree viewing of any angle of my living room.

The install was challenging because I don't have a 2.4g-only device. I came across a hack to use a 5/2.4 device, far away from the access point to connect to 2.4g. I'm not sure how I would have done the install without that hack. Once installed, it works great. Picture is clear. Pan/tilt is very convenient.

I love that this camera allows you to move the video in different directions! A plus: all of the settings Netvue allows you to choose from for you camera - angle, night vision and sound!

We have a total of 4 netvue cameras and this is the newest one. The image is better on this one then the other 3 (regular Orb). As stated, would definitely recommend this camera for this price range.

Setup did not work using the QR code on the box or camera. Used the manual setup process and the web generated QR code was recognized by the camera when I held my phone with QR code on screen in front of the camera. Once setup the camera works as advertised. Great picture and video and motion detection field and sensitivity is adjustable.

This is my first Orb mini and my third Netvue camera. The initial setup was very easy with the given instructions. The camera quality is as good as I could expect at this price point and we are beyond satisfied with our purchase.

Love this camera best one yet!!!

This is nice little Camara, picture quality is great actually might be getting another one. But the owners manual really doesn't say much on how to operate it. Good luck getting an SD card because other than saying you could put one in there really isn't much direction for it.

This is my second Netvue camera after purchasing one for outdoors. This camera is compact and unobtrusive. I like that it plugs in because I don’t need to remember to replace batteries. It was incredibly easy to set up following the instructions and I love that once set up, you can unplug and move this camera if you need to without redoing the setup process. So, if you lose power, the camera will start working immediately once power is restored. The image is clear and you can turn the camera left, right, up and down. I don’t use the cloud storage, but even without it you can set up motion detection to be notified of motion and see still image captures or you can make a live video recording while you’re in the app looking at the feed. This works great for my purposes.

The camera is very solid for the price. There are some better quality ones out there, but generally they may be more expensive. One very nice feature is that this tilts further down than other cameras I've used. If you want to put this higher up on a shelf and not have to mount it, it is very convenient for that.

Its an excellent product to use, Quality is great. it doesnt freeze up and anything like that, Picture quality is clear and crisp. it can be tilt 360 and up down left right which is really useful for me.

I bought this camera and got the mini, I love both. They work great, can talk to my dog and see her when I need too. The night vision worked fine along with picture quality. Super affordable and works great!

Makes it easy to keep an eye on the important things. i like the motion control and intercom. easy to set up too.

I have had my Netvue camera for about a year now and I have not had any problems with the quality I ended up paying to have videos recorded instead of just photos and when I had questions there support team is excellent they are so willing to help and make things easier for you! I spoke with Sofia and she couldn’t be any more helpful! I’m so happy with my purchase and there customer service

This netvue camera was very easy to hook up on my internet and phone! It was a very easy installation, and i definitely recommend using Netvue cameras for your home security needs! I didnt even know there was night vision in pitch black nights, which just makes the product better than it already is.

This is a really good surveillance camera. Pan and tilt is very easy to operate. It was super easy to setup. I will be getting more. It does an excellent job.

This camera is a great size and doesn't take up too much space, but can see a lot of area. It was easy to install and I feel like it is secure. I previously had ordered the full-size Netvue Orb Camera back in 2019 and have not had any problems. Getting this second camera helps me cover most of the area I needed to keep an eye on my pets. The Netvue products I've purchased have been exactly what I wanted, and their pricing is great.

Great area coverage and I can keep an eye on my sweet fur babies.

We use Netvue for our outdoor surveillance and decided to add this camera to check in on our dog while we aren’t home. The quality is awesome! Set up & Wi-Fi connection was a breeze. We literally had it ready in less than 2 minutes. I love that the camera moves in all directions. I will definitely consider purchasing more!

I’m very happy with this product. I use it to have full access to my home when I’m gone and to watch over my animals. I never have any issues with the quality or connection to the cameras and I really recommend this product for people with animals home alone. It makes me feel safe and secure with this product. Very easy to travel with as well.

It works great but they're was no way to set it up without subscribing to the cloud recording function

I asked my two dogs if they're ok to see them while I'm at work. DOGS: Invasion of privacy :-)

This is a great camera that lets you keep an eye on your home when you are not there. Night vision, motion detection and picture quality are excellent. It even has sound to hear inside the house.

The picture quality is passable but there is too long a lag between pressing the button on my app to move the camera and the camera actually moving.

Great for the little ones! When you lay them down for a nap or some play time! They are able to listen to you and quiet enough to look around making little to no noise their plans are great! I’m able to look back at any day & any time

Awesome purchase. Clear image. A little slow with the speaker but in all great camera

We have two Netvue cameras, one in my cats room and the other one in the living room. It works amazing, keeps me calm to know my cat it’s fine when we are out and keep an eye when someone comes to catsit our furbaby. We are definitely getting more now that our family is growing.

You can buy them not only for dogs.

We use this camera to watch our dogs while we ‘re at work and we love it!

I got this camera to keep an eye on my dog while I'm out. For the price, this is a great camera. It has clear image quality, functional night vision, and I can control it from the app. The app is also very easy to use. No regrets here!

This camera is amazing. I can move it around, 360 degrees, even when I am away from my house. It has good picture quality day and night. Great motion detection and easy setup! I would definitely recommend this camera and this brand!

Wow. I am really loving this camera. Here's where I'm coming from. I've got a 5-year-old Netvue, and 3 Simplisafe cameras. My old Netvue works great still, but this new one is FAST to respond within the app and only lags about 1.5 seconds from real time, and the picture quality is really good, even at night!!! I use it as a baby monitor, and I can see my child clearly. If you speak through the camera, intelligibility is pretty good too. What I really like about Netvue compared to other video cameras is that they swivel side to side and also up and down. You can get a really good view of your room this way. My Simplisafe cameras do not do this, they're stationary, and it's a huge detriment in my opinion. Last thing I'll mention is motion detection. When I'm gone from the house on a trip, I turn on the motion detection. The motion detection can be set to be INSANELY sensitive. It would probably detect a mouse running on the ground if you wanted it to. You can set the sensitivity, human or all motion, and what field of motion you want. I also like that you don't have to subscribe to a service to use Netvue products easily and efficiently. I would recommend this camera to anyone. Good price and easy to use.

Purchased this to check on my cat while I was away for a few days. It has decent night vision and I like that I can talk to my cat through the cam. I like that you can zoom in as well. Not sure about the motion detection. Does not alert me but I do manually go on app to check on live feed. Had for a few weeks now and so far so good. Will update if any changes occur.

I really like this. The video lags slightly. You have to pay for a subscription or have an sd card don't mind having those at all. and not expensive for the subscription. $10 a month for 2 cameras. Customer service is also amazing.

I like the pan and tilt capabilities. Affordable and I love the 2 way audio feature.

Bought this to keep an eye on my little while he naps and I’m away from the room. Works perfectly.

This was a great value and is a wonderful camera. I love that it rotates a full 360 turn and I can tilt it remotely. It doesn’t have a delay and was a super easy set up. I’ll be getting more for right away!

Once got it up all is good so far. Will see if it will work when I leave Town. Need to keep eye on pups

i have one of these in the living room and was so impressed that i got this one to monitor my sleeping disorder. every time i roll over or have an attack the camera catches it no problems. the night vision is excellent. even hears my snoring.

Nice value for the intended price. The Microphone is not that sensitive, the speaker sounds kind of distorted, but the Tilt pan view is excellent. It works only with 2.4Ghz band only, but you can connect with it through Wifi or mobile data, it works excellent if you are out of home and want to check what is going on inside.

Love the camera, great customer service.

I like how I can tilt it and talk through it while recording. Its a great camera.

We absolutely love this camera! We use it to watch our cats through out the day. The picture is so clear and being able to use the talk feature is our favorite part! It helps us have a peace of mind during the day when we can’t be home with our babies. I bought this camera 15 months ago and had an issue with the reset button and Anna in the customer service department helped us trouble shoot our problem. When we realized the issue they were able to send a new camera. The customer service is just as amazing as the camera itself!

Excellent product and great customer service

I really enjoy this product.

Great product, helps me check on my animals when I'm not home to make sure everything is good. Highly recommend. Great Price!!

Best Buy ever

This is a great camera. I bought two and will likely buy another.

It’s a good indoor camera for me to see my dog when I was not at home. I even can talk to her through the camera. Also a good customer service！

Don’t overspend when looking for a quality pet camera. This one is very good and reasonably priced. Easy to set up in minutes.

Worth and reasonable price for the camera, I get access to the camera very easily and I can talk through the app to the camera with no issue. It also sends nontification to your phone if it detects any motion moved in range. Pretty good camera.

Set up is a breeze. Once you have the Netvue app, simply plug the camera in and follow the on screen instructions. Make sure you’re only trying to connect to your 2.4GHz WiFi signal! Once connected, you have full app control and notifications for motion. I do like that you can designate zones for motion and that you get a clear grey scale image at night. One small suggestion for improvement: movement notification happens every time a light comes on and off, whether or not there is actual motion in the room. If you could get that figured out in a firmware update, you’d have the clear winner in this space. Overall, a great camera at an even better price!!

Set up is really easy through the app . Easy to use and great quality for the price.

This little thing has great picture quality, sound and you can move it around with your phone

I love these cameras! I have three of them in my house now in the rooms where my cats go the most so that when my husband and I are at work all day we can keep an eye on everything. I love during slow times to check in and see what my babies are doing. I can talk to them through it to stop them from getting into something while I’m watching, or just say hi. You can also move the camera around from the app so I can find them in the room. I have never had connectivity issues, even from states away like I did with the first camera I got from a different brand. Truly a big fan.

I can't say enough good things about this camera: Picture quality is great! Night vision is crystal clear. Motion detection is very sensitive! Setup was a breeze. From unpacking to recording it took less than 10 minutes. The app is easy to use! So many options to customize motion detections and setting to meet my needs. I appreciate not being required to pay a monthly service fee like other systems require. The SD card option is perfect for my needs. So far this camera has far surpassed my expectations! In my opinion, you can't beat it's quality and features - especially at this price point!

I love that this product is very easy to manipulate from your phone and has continuous recording. It has a two way speaker so you can communicate through your phone to the camera! I got this camera to be able to keep an eye on my dog while I’m not home and I love that I can talk to her too! Setup is also very simple too.

Works great and excellent customer service.

This camera is great! The picture is clear, the sound is great, and the motion detection is quite quick! Love using this camera to cvs k on the cats during the day…and the cats love the movement of the camera! They get up close and know you are talking to them! ??

Great quality bought a second cause I was so please! When you speak your voice sounds like you and not like a robot! My puppy loves when I talk to him at work!

Great value for money. Sharp picture quality and night vision works flawlessly. Use it to watch over my pet while at work, built in speaker is very handy too. App works great but a web interface would have been nice.

Fair price. Good picture. Easy install.

I bought this to spy on my dogs while I am at work. It works great and is easy to use.

I used it as a doggy cam works as needed. Best part is I can control the view and look for my dogs within the app. Great buy overall

Works great! I installed mine because I have a bit of a mischievous cat who likes to destroy anything he can get his paws on, so I liked the idea of keeping an eye on him. I've been able to save several videos of him and I seriously love the fact that I can check in on him thru an app on my phone while I'm at work. No regrets.

The product works great and the picture quality was super clear

Camera works great, picture is nice quality, the inly reason i wont rate 5 stars is the speaker is almost useless, you can hear audio from the camera to your phone as it records the audio just fine, but the speaker volume when you talk through the camera is not very loud, turned it up to maximum and unless the person your speaking to is right beside the camera there not going to hear you and you have to talk pretty loud into your mic for that, there is also about a 2 to 3 sexond delay in the when you stop talking to when the audio starts emitting from the speaker

I bought this when we got a puppy so we could check on him when we want. I love that we can talk to him through the app. The set up was easy. Requires 2.4 wifi to work as it is not compatible with 5G. The picture is clear. The night vision still provides a clear picture. We are going to purchase a couple more to place around our home for in home security monitoring. I am very happy.

Not much to dislike.

The camera is good the only problem is the motion detection doesn’t really work. But overall it’s really good and I will definitely be buying more for my house

I was having issues with my connecting my camera and once I asked for help via the live chat I was able to be guided through the steps in order to add my camera and bam! Definitely buy this camera for your pup!

We have several Netvue cameras. Not all of them allow playback on the computer, only on the app. Additionally, if you want the motion detection less than 5 minutes, you have to pay extra. You have to pay extra for human detection. There are a LOT of nickel and diming that I don't like. I like the camera, though. I like this one in our living room that rotates. The app is easy to use. I just think that the charge per month in order to get the protection we need is a bit much, especially when our Ring is cheaper for a year's worth of mostly the same services. Ring cameras are more expensive, so that's why we went this route. We have a Netvue camera upstairs, downstairs, and at the entrance to our back door. Good cameras, but be prepared for the monthly charges and only using the app for playback.

Love this pet cam!

I love it ! I highly recommend it ! The best

I have not been able to connect it to my router since purchased, looking forward to support help.

This item was not a good quality camera - returning was not easy ! More of a hassle !

I bought this camera to travel with because its easy to set up and gives a 360 view of the room.

Use this product for surveillance and security very happy with it

Great product. Would purchase again.

It is great for our house.

If you're like me (older female with grown sons) then you know anything you buy electronic, mechanical or basically not a cooking pot must be Kid-Approved! Honestly, my son is an electrician (a very good one) and routinely installs commercial camera installations for larger businesses. He personally recommends these Netvue Cameras. I already had one on the backporch and these have given me a full view of the backyard and along the side of my home. I had a blind spot when turning into my driveway at night. This frightened me so the kid found a solution. With these I can actually bring up the camera before I turn in and KNOW there is no one lurking in the dark. Yass Hunty!!!! Get you one! It's Kid-Approved!!!

I love the camera! I log onto to the app (super easy) and check on my pups while they are home. It has 2 way audio (I don’t use it because my dogs would freak) but I love that I can access it so easily. For the price, the quality is just what I needed.

I really like this product. I got it to be able to see my pets throughout the day and it has been great. I’m he set up was easy, and I love that it is capable of moving around and seeing the entire room I put it in. Worth it!

I love this camera. I can see and hear my dog whenever I’m not home.

Some picture distortion on night vision but not all the time. Picture seems to go in and out. Pan and tilt doesn't work every time. And constantly have to reboot the camera.
