Video Transcript: Hey, Rob from DrekiTech here and today I’m reviewing the Misafes MiCam Apollo II 1080p IP cam. I gave this cam a 4.5/5 noting its excellent mounting hardware and good video quality. This camera uses a 360 degree ball-type base that is magnetic, which makes the camera super easy to mount anywhere. It includes a metal plate and a screw so the camera can be screwed straight into any wall. I love this mounting hardware, and it’s probably one of the best features about the camera and why I’d recommend this cam over other competitors. Video quality is great. Details are sharp and color is pleasant. The camera automatically records to SD card when one is put in – network setup and recording is done through a smartphone. The cameras video is sharp and smooth when recorded to SD card, but I notice it does jitter a little when recorded over the network. SD card quality maxes out at 720p, but network recording goes up to 1080. Night video is good too – sharp and detailed. It automatically enables itself when the room gets dark. Audio quality is alright. While it’s a little on the quiet side, I can easily understand someone speaking in a normal voice. Here’s what it sounds like: […]. Wi-Fi range is adequate. It made it to the same distance as my phone before dropping out. The app itself is very limited, but it works fine and does offer motion alerts. Otherwise the only options are view camera, record video, snapshot or talk through the camera. One thing that is missing is a manual way to engage night mode. Overall I really like this little camera. It’s got great video quality for the price and some nice mounting hardware.
