Ich bin seit 2 Tagen Besitzer einer Orb mini. Die Einrichtung ging durch die mitgelieferten QR-Codes sehr einfach. Die App ist schnell zur Überwachung einsatzbereit. Die Bild- und Videoqualität ist für meine Zwecke sehr gut. Eine gewisse Verzögerung bei der Übertragung kann ich leicht verschmerzen. Die Anbindung an meinen Echo Show ging reibungslos. Beim einrichten von Alexa-Routinen muss ich noch etwas tüfteln. Hier fehlt mir noch die Schwenkmöglichkeit sowie die Möglichkeit die Bewegungserkennung per Sprachbefehl einzuschalten. Vielleicht hab ich es aber auch nur noch nicht gefunden.
Alles in Allem bin ich von der Orb mini total überzeugt und werde mir auch noch weitere kaufen.
Klare Kaufempfehlung!

I love this camera! Doesn’t make you buy a monthly membership. SUPER easy set up. I bought it to check on my sick first baby during the day when I’m at work. Picture quality is great. Sounds is amazing and it rotates tp see literally all over the room! Highly recommend

I have an anxiety riddled dog. My wife and I work full time, so leaving her home alone was a constant worry. I simply mounted this and can check in on her at any time.
The pros: cheap, easy to use, easy to install.
The cons: picture quality is so-so. It’s fine for my purposes, but if stark detail is your goal, this will leave you wanting for more. The power cord is also annoyingly short. But, it’s cheap.

I had bought one in the past and sent it back because the “sleep mode” kept mysteriously coming on when I had clearly turned it off and hadn’t turned back on yet. I have not had that issue with this particular camera and am very happy with this purchase. Would buy again, for sure!
S. H.
I love being able to check in on my dogs. I have 2 cameras. I can get their attention by talking to them.

I got this camera to check on my dog when I'm not home. It wasn't expensive so I thought I'd give it a shot and overall, I'm glad I didn't! It's a great camera and love that you can move it around the room to view everything. The set up was pretty easy, took about 5 minutes total. I would've given 5 stars but I'm disappointed that if you want the "playback" feature, you have to purchase a subscription for that which I don't think is fair. Other than that, I'm very pleased with it

This is a great camera for the price. Great picture, audio in/out, night vision works great. Would have given 5 stars if the setup wasn't touchy, had to run through the WiFi setup 4-5 times before it finally connected, otherwise it works great. Have powered it off and on and it reconnects to the WiFi without issue, only during the initial setup was there a problem. Got this primarily to keep an eye on our kenneled dogs while we are at work, works great since our new husky has separation anxiety, I can talk to him to help soothe him while not being there, works well so far. If you're looking for a good quality picture with audio in/out and night vision, you cannot beat this camera for the price. Haven't tested the SD card since I have no need for that yet.

I bought this product just 2-3 days ago and I’m not very amazed by it. Will I toss it away? No. It works and it handy for having pets and keeping an eye on the home but night vision kicks in when lighting isn’t perfectly lit in one area which sucks. Also when you click the motion detection notification it causes the app to act weird and you can’t move the camera around. Another issue is when you go into the camera to look through it everything is blurry for a while until it decides to clear up which also sucks and I’ve notice a bit of lagging. I am sad because this was bought just TWO - THREE days ago and already have issues. But if you want something cheap then that is what you will get.
S. H.
Fantastic product overall. Download the app and it'll guide you step by step on how to set things up. There are also YouTube videos out there that'll help. Solid quality camera. Love that you can control camera to turn in all directions thru your app. Very handy for when I'm away and need to check on my cat. 2 way audio is clutch and night vision is EXCELLENT! 5/5.
Cons: when you replay motion detection footage you can only get image stills and not an actual clip of the recording. You will need to pay if you want better motion detection footage quality.

These cameras are awesome! The most difficult part was trying to figure out why the SD cards wouldn’t work. I had to format them first. Once I did that, I didn’t have any problems and the cameras recognized them right away. These cameras have a much wider view than the last ones I had. They were very self explanatory to set up and install, except the SD cards. The playback video on these are so easy.

Purchased this for a baby monitor for my littles bedroom and it was quick and easy to set up love that it connects via app on my phone and the talk back feature I also love that it has a pan and tilt option so I can get the whole bed room instead of multiple cameras!
chloe r.
love the motion detector and night vision. camera quality is amazon and the camera is a awesome price. highly recommend!
rosey y.
The best camera for my dog I get to watch her while I am at work I ordered a second one :)
María
I just got this today. I like this device because it is inexpensive way to monitor my dog and parrot. Set up was not hard and it works really good. Hopefully it will keep working for a long time.
JS
I've bought my cam about 3 month ago and didn't work. This company reach out to me and was very helpful and took care my product. Although my cam didn't work this company really was excellent with reaching out to customer in a timely manner. I'll buy cam again.
Rebecca H.
Super easy set up. I was able to set it up start to finish in no time at all. Cant wait for it to show me which cat is not using the litter box.
I’m already thinking of buy additional cameras for my house. Customer service was fantastic. Would defiantly recommend.
Areg
I recently switched from Petcube to Netvue Orb cam as a home monitoring device for my pup! What a difference! The app is easy to navigate, the picture quality is nothing short of excellent and setup is super easy as well! I will be purchasing a second Netvue OrbCam and sending one to my mom for the holidays!
Stephanie
Buying a second ! Easy to setup and does the job !
Love this cam
María
More than expected! Nice little camera, love the movements, real time, perfect real colors and sound. 100% recommended.
Teresa T.
I love everything about this little camera including the price. I snagged this camera during a flash deal for $25, regularly around $38. Glad I came across what I know now to be a steal. Set up was incredibly simple and quick. I would say it was up and running in about 5-10 mins. I appreciate the motion detection features and alert options. I use it indoors and it serves it's purpose for a great price.
Don B.
These are great. Easy to setup, access remotely, and operate. I have 6 netvue cams and just ordered another for my living room. Love these! I get the sd cards for recording Bc each cam requires a separate subscription which can get pricey when you have multiple cams.
Jessica S.
I got this to watch dogs while pet sitting. A lot of background noise is picked up, I’m not sure if there is a way to adjust the sensitivity. I just mute it. It’s good that it moves and you can speak to your pet through it. Setup was pretty easy. Very happy!
Katie Kluk
Camera stopped turning left after about 2 or 3 months. Would only turn right and wouldn’t turn back left. Changed wifi password and camera refused to connect no matter what, contact customer service, and the agent stopped talking to me after saying “restart the power, and press the restart button 5 times” and then “run the setup”. Horrible customer service. DO NOT recommend this product.
Cicelia
Generally pleased with this purchase. Used for security for a second home while we're away. Motion sensor seems to go off when no one there. Maybe ghosts!
Benjamin Igo
I use this camera to check on my dog while I am away. It works great at allowing me to see him and I enjoy the app interface which allows me to pan around the room to see him too! Easy to set up and configure too which was an added plus! Great product overall and good value for the price!
Monica
I love my Netvue camera. I've bought two of them even. Great picture quality. Love that it rotates so I can do a panoramic of the room. It's a great camera for a great price!
Holly
I bought this camera because I had gotten a new puppy. This has been amazing for me to know where and how she is doing during the day with the motion detection I am able to talk to her and get alerts when she makes any movement. I definitely want to add more to my house and would recommend this company for any security purposes. The cameras are high quality and have rotation for all views. I love it!
Miranda Haley
Love my two cameras! The 360 view is amazing, as well as being able to view multiple devices all within one app. As a dog mom of two who works full time, I feel so much more at ease that I’m able to check on them throughout the day. I also love that you don’t have to pay a subscription fee, all you need is Wi-Fi.
Jessica
Perfect for my little dog
Kks
This works great! I use it to keep an eye on my puppy. I’m able to follow her around and see her in the dark!
Molly
Bought two of these cameras to watch our dog when we are working/have to leave her at home. They have worked great. I love being able to turn the camera almost all the way around just from the app and being able to speak through app. The set up was super easy and the quality I think is pretty awesome considering the price. I have tried the SimpliSafe camera in a previous residence and I like these way more for their ability to turn, night vision, and human only detection that works pretty well at ignoring the dog.
Stacey C.
We purchased these cameras as a short term last minute security feature while we were away. I was actually surprised at how easy it was to set up and the picture quality. I accidentally deleted the nite vision photo but it also was extremely clear. You can add an sd card for recording and can delete the sd card directly from your phone. It has a pretty good range stand alone but the fact that you can move the camera around from your phone as well as speak their the camera is even better. Definitely was worth the purchase.
Chee T.
Picture and sound quality is really good especially for its price. We have three dogs so having a pet camera is definitely needed. My most favorite function is being able to maneuver the camera from different angles to keep track of the pups. When they’re misbehaving, the mic option really comes in handy and the dogs immediately stops chewing up our plants. My only suggestion for improvement is to have a function where the camera brightens its quality during the evening and the lights aren’t turned on. It’s a bit difficult to see the pups if we forget to turn on the lights. Other than that, easy to use and great quality for its price!

Overall, Im very impressed with the netvue camera! We use it to watch our dog when we are gone and I like how you can turn the camera fully and speak through it. It also has great night vision capabilities. I would definitely buy this again and recommend it to others. Its awesome! :)
Angela E.
I have two children with special needs, one that has seizures. We have been looking for a good camera to help see when she has seizures and during sleep. I so wish we would have found these camera first. They are amazing! I ordered two and we have had no issues at all. The picture is so clear and bright. I have family members that have ordered now as well once they say mine.

Superb value...easy setup..netvue is a smart home frontrunner.
The camera was easy to use ...easy to set up...the picture clarity is way better than I could have ever imagined and I'm impressed with all the features and performance of this tiny magic eye in the sky. The app has been recently updated and works flawlessly with the camera also only a 3 second lag with 4g mobile data at about 5 to 7 miles from home when viewing in real time...I love it and plan to buy another right away.
PAchick
As a dog parent, I recommend.
Outside of that issue, I would recommend this camera. It’s good for daily use and despite the few issues, I throughly enjoy this camera and it’s abilities. It’s also a good price for the camera. Included is a picture of my doggies that shows the quality of the camera.
Denise R.
Awesome Little Camera
I love this camera and the quality of the picture. I bought this to camera to check up on my dog. I love the fact that I can rotate it to see exactly where she is. Great camera at an affordable price!
MimAisho
Gets the job done!
We were looking for an inexpensive indoor camera to monitor our pet bird when we’re outside-this seemed to fit the bill. After ordering it, we received the camera promptly. It came in a small box, with the indoor camera, usb power cable and wall adapter, and instruction manual.
Overall, it’s a decent indoor camera for the price!
Patricia H.
Bought two Orb camera, one works great. The second one I’ve contacted Netvue for help would go off line when you would turn it off. Had on live chat and received 7 emails saying someone would get back to me with help, this was over a two week time. So the product needs to be replaced, but their service is NOT good.
Samantha R.
I'm using this to keep an eye on my kitty when I go away for long weekends or short vacations. 5GHz support is pretty big for home security. I have a dual-band router that I can't select which band it uses so it was kind of a bother to get that figured out (I was able to set it up effortlessly once that was solved though!). Highly recommended as a budget option for monitoring pets/kids or general home security.
Pros:
Easy to set up
Price point
Quality
Remote control option a huge plus!
Cons:
No 5GHz support at this time
Not discrete in size
Angela B.
My first original Orb is quiet when I turn It on to view the room, the new mini Orb (2 new ones) have a loud sound machine noise that comes on when tuned in. Why the antenna, is that the issue?
Rob C.
Ridiculously good value. If I’d known I could get a camera this good for this cheap I’d have done it a long time ago. Good enough picture quality (both day and night), motion detection (with notifications to your phone), super simple set up. The app seems pretty good so far. I’ll update this review is something goes wrong but right now I’m extremely happy.
Chaz M.
I didn't know what to expect when I bought this camera to monitor our pets. I am very pleasantly surprised. It was super easy to install everythin....literally it was download the app, scan the code on the back of the camera and set up a password. Everything is just automatic and does it on its own. Super easy. And the camera quality is nice. You can record clips of your pets...talk to your pets....take screen shots. You use the screen on your phone or ipad or however you are viewing the picture to zoom in and out on your pet and you can pan to the left and right. Zooming in makes the quality not as good....but its still a very good camera. I bought a 2nd one because I was so pleased with the first one. The cord is a little short if you are going to install the camera up high so plan for that. We just used an extention cord. Definitely worth the money! And its really nice to check in on your pets during the day and being able to talk to them.
Anthony C.
I mainly bought the camera to watch over my cats when Im gone. It has speakers integrated, so though the app I can talk to them and keep an eye on them while I'm gone. It has a very good quality "night vision" and motion sensors, it will notify you instantly though the app. It has a very good mobility, I basically can see all my apartment. Easy to install, it has a nice flexibility of where you can install it in you house or apartment. Highly recommend it, specially for the good price. It has extra monitoring services and memberships once you register your device (which is free).
Dennis c.
I like this camera, it can take very clear still photos, and it also has a real-time feed. You can access the feed through your phone while using the app. The quality of the pictures and videos are high, and the attachments are very clear during the day. The images will be broadcast live at night. The quality of both is very good, and there is also a microphone, you can talk to the person at the door by phone. This is an amazing product. The price is unbeatable for what you get, and the delivery speed is very fast. Everything exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended, no regrets!
Josue C.
I got this camera becuase my old one wasn't working properly. This camera its easy to set up and its alot better than my previous one. The definition its great, and the night vision its amazing. Its incredible how much you are able to zoom in and the quality it is able to maintain. Great product.

So happy with this purchase! I bought this one for keep my puppy on eyes. Very easy to setup and control. Very wide view and HD video! Love it!

Good supervision camera, when we are not at home, we check our apartment with this camera, it’s real time video. Even we can use it as a video call, we can talk across this camera, I can share it to my families, they can use it on their phone as well. Night vision is quite clear, if you have a baby or pet, it’s good for that purpose too.
GG
Good one.
I bought this camera for my cat, sometime I need to leave town couple days and use this I can check how is my cat doing and talk with her( I got my cat on the street she aways afraid that she will be abandoned again) this camera helps a lot and it is easy to change the angles. The best part of the camera is that it has the charge! I bought a one before it didn’t have the charge!
Diana
Perfect cam at a perfect price.
I have to say. I wasn't expecting much for this price. I just wanted to see what my pets were doing when I was out of the room (I'm trying to housebreak a couple guys). I figured I'd try this since it wasn't pricey. I am pleasantly surprised to discover what a great little video cam this is. You need to download the app in order for this to work. Also, it takes photos and it has live video, but if you want to record, you need a mini SD card (does not come with). The camera is so clear and the colors are great. I'm actually thinking of getting a second one for another room in my home. I highly recommend this product.
Barbara C.
Amazingly easy set up, great price.
I had read the reviews prior to purchasing this camera for use in my apartment.
My primary purpose is to check in on my kids while away at work.
I’m so happy with all the aspects of the camera and it was completely within my budget!
No problem with my WiFi connection or the installation and step by step app walks you through. Very user friendly..

For an inexpensive camera to have to watch the dogs when I'm not around I was definitely impressed with the picture resolution.
Nia R.
This is one of the best purchases I have ever made! My dog has anxiety and it is such a relief knowing I can check in on him while I am away at work during the day. The image is so clear during both the day and the night! I would recommend this camera to anyone! Thanks so much for a great product at a great cost! Well done!
Paul K.
Received this little camera the other day. I already have a Netvue Vigil and a Netvue Orb Cam, both of which are excellent devices, including in the dark.
Ths Mini was extremely easy to set up, discriminating without instruction between the 2.4GHz and 5GHz signals from my mesh system. The controls function extremely well. The picture is extremely clear.
Highly recommended.
Bradley H.
I would possibly give it 5 stars if it wasn't sold out and I could order one. Can I get updates when these are available again and the new outdoor sentry looks pretty sweet.
