Great camera at a great price-point and simple to setup!
I have the Nooie 1080P indoor camera and I’ve been quite happy with it so I had to give this 360-degree model a try. It takes the features of the static camera and adds the ability to pan and tilt the camera either manually or you can enable motion tracking easily through the app. I wrote a review for the static camera and many of the features carry over including its great video quality so if you’ve read that review, some of this will seem familiar.Setup -Setup was very simple using your phone or tablet, running the free Nooie Cam app. You first need to verify that your phone is connected to the 2.4Ghz access point in your home where you will be using the camera. You then simply start the Nooie Cam app and select the +Camera button. You select the Nooie Cam 360 option and it will walk you through the remaining, simple steps. Basically, you assure the camera is on, enter the password for the wireless access point/router your phone is currently connected to (this is the same one you will be connecting the camera to), click Next, and a QR code appears on the screen of your phone. You now hold the screen of your phone in front of the Nooie camera’s lens and it provides an audible tone and LED light indicator when it is finished reading the QR code. The app will now inform you that it is pairing and will begin a countdown. When complete, the app will inform you that pairing has completed. It’s that simple.Use -Now that the camera has been added, you simply select it to view the camera. To hear audio from the camera, you select the speaker icon within the app and now you are able to see and hear what’s going on around the camera. The camera also has a built-in speaker that allows you to press the microphone button within the app and then speak through it. This is very useful and/or just fun depending on where you locate the camera. For example, I have the camera in my living room where my cat typically spends a good part of her day. If you have cats, I’m guessing yours is similar where she doesn’t have one place that she always lays within a room. She instead has multiple locations that she’ll randomly select. With this 360 degree camera, either from home, from work, a restaurant, wherever I have WiFi or cellular access I can pan the camera from left to right and up or down. It’s range is great where you can literally place the camera in the center of the room and, from the app, turn it from it’s left side behind it all the way around front, through to the right side behind it just by swiping across the screen with the camera’s image live the whole time. You can pan it around to see the entire room. Beyond this, you have the ability to tilt the camera up and down from the app as well by swiping up and down on the camera’s image live. I can scan the room for my cat, locate her, and then touch the microphone to talk to her. Being a cat, she chooses whether she wants to respond or not. Sometimes her ears just perk up and she whines (which you can hear through the camera’s built-in microphone), but other times she’ll choose to walk over to the camera and give it some love. :)If you choose to use the Motion Tracking feature, if your cat, or anything really, moves in front of the camera’s lens, the camera will follow it. As the moving option moves close to the edge of the camera’s current visibility, the camera will move to center the moving object within it’s vew and continue doing this until the moving object either stops moving or moves behind something where the camera can no longer see it. One thing to note with automatic Motion Tracking is the camera can pan 360 degrees. If something moves and the camera ends up pointing in a different direction than the next moving object. The next moving option must move in front of the lens at some point for the camera to see it and start tracking it. Depending on where you mount the camera and your use, this may be fine or it may not. So, definitely think about this before placing the camera if you plan to enable Motion Tracking.Video and audio can be recorded to either a microSD card or to the cloud. Cloud storage is a paid service. Given my usage, microSD recording is fine for me so I haven’t tried the cloud storage option. MicroSD recordings are easily accessed through the app via a scrollable tape across the bottom of the screen. You select the day and then scroll through to the time you would like to view. If at any time you are viewing live video or recorded video from the app and you would like to save the video to your device, you simply press the camera icon on screen to set the start point, continue watching the video as it plays, and press the icon again when you’d like to stop and the video will be saved to your device. It’s VERY easy!Like other security cameras, you can also setup notifications based on sound and/or motion. This too is easy to configure by selecting None, Low, Medium, or High for each option and then selecting the timeframe that you would like to receive notifications. Note that you can enable disable notifications by day, but each day only has one start time and one end time that can be selected. Meaning, you cannot setup notifications from 8am-5pm and then again 10pm to midnight for the same day. You could do one or the other, but not both. I don’t see this as a problem for me, but it’s worth noting depending on your use case.There are a few additional notable settings. First is the ability to enable/disable audio recording. I haven’t done much testing with this, but I’d imagine this could save some space on your microSD card, allowing you to possibly record more video if disabled. Second is the ability to enable/disable the small LED light on the camera. If you placed the camera in a visible location in your home, you may want to disable the LED to avoid the distraction of it. Last, there is a Rotate Image option. So, if you need to mount the camera under an overhang, cabinet, etc., you can simple tap this button to flip the image for mounting the camera upside down and now viewing it live or recorded video will display right-side up.Customer Service -I reached out to Nooie’s customer service prior to purchasing my previous camera as I had a number of questions. I received quick, thorough responses the same day, shortly after I had sent them. I worked with Julia who was great to work with. Very friendly, personable, and understanding. Julia’s customer service was great and made the decision to purchase this camera a complete no-brainer. As I’m sure many of you know, when you have questions or something goes wrong you really find out what a company is made of. I’m happy to say Nooie’s support is great! Regarding this camera, I had a few questions for Nooie support prior to purchasing it and received the same great, prompt responses. This proved even moreso that their support is great! It wasn’t just a one time fluke with the first camera.Summary -This camera works great and has clear video. The two-way communication capability is an added bonus and could open up its use to more than just a security camera. It’s ability to automatically track motion as well as it’s ability to turn 360 degrees while automatically tracking motion and/or by manually swiping the screen coupled with it’s low price point of under $40 makes this a great buy in my book! I am definitely glad that I added this camera to my home. It will work well keeping track of not only the cat, but I can see when my teenager comes and goes when I’m not home.

Love this monitor
Update: I have had nooie cameras for years now and are they perfect No. But the one thing I absolutely love about this company is that they Listen to the reviews and customers. Always making improvements and updates to fix bugs and make their products better. I feel over time it has gotten better. Is it perfect no but having them from the start and watching the company/products grow and improvements. I still think the cameras is great. The fact that they Listen and try to fix the things their customers are unhappy with. They are only getting better and better. Still love nooie.We have had our monitors for a year now. I love being able to check in when I am not home. The picture quality is awesome, night vision is great! The motion detection is ok but not amazing. Sometimes it over rotates when tracking things. We currently have 6 Camera’s. The set up is super easy. (Samsung phone) Also note if you do not have good wifi, then make sure to get a booters. Keep in mind, if you have a poor wifi connection it doesn’t connect well. It is not device messing up, it’s the wifi connection. We have wifi booter and all 6 camera’s work great. When setting up make sure to switch over to the 2g wifi when connecting. Then you can turn your phone back over to your 5g connection after set up. The one thing, I hope they can improve is being able to view multiple monitors at the same time. I wish, I could watch at least 2 at the same time. Then tap the screen to veiw one if I needed to see something closer. That would make this set up perfect. But other then minor things. I highly recommend this monitors. I will say it’s really easy to switch in between cameras.Update! They came out with a New app and yes there are few things they are working out but now we have live veiw on multiple cameras now. Which is a game changer for me. They have great customer service and Enola helped me and was fast on response and help solve my issues. I love that Nooie is constantly improving. I would 5 star it but it’s not quite perfect yet because but it’s getting close! I love my cameras!

We love our Nooie camera, we bought this after much deliberation and couldn’t be happier.The main reason we bought it is so grandparents could keep up with our daughters daily activities, the picture quality at daytime and night mode are fantastic, the motion following is just about fast enough to keep up with a toddler, the sound quality in and out are reasonable, but not amazing, we didn’t expect it to be fantastic given its size.The app only allows the camera to be shared with 3 users plus the owner which is okay for us, but may not be enough if you want to use this camera for sharing with multiple users.Unfortunately despite having an SD card in that meets their requirements it never appears to record anything to playback later! im still trying so hopefully changing some settings might work, but it isn’t quite as simple as plug in and record (at least not for me)Overall a fantastic product and just what we wanted. We might get a second to add to different rooms.

Reviewing this after using for about 45 days. Possibly one of the best baby monitors out there. It is worth spending that extra few thousand rupees. Why? Because of the following:1. Can connect directly to multiple mobile phones. You and your spouse can see it from office or from the next room.2. You can talk to the nanny directly from the cam.3. You can hear clearly if your baby cries. Infact the sound is extremely sensitive. Even careful door open or closing which won’t disturb the baby, is still picked up on the app.4. It has motion tracking. Even your curtain movement will be notified. Can get irritating but you can turn motion tracking off and then adjust the camera angle from the app as you like.5. Has excellent night vision.6. Notifies you if there is movement, sound or baby cry. Notifications can get irritating for some.7. You can get cloud storage and also store on a local memory card. Or even record video via their mobile app.8. Have noted extremely little lag at times. Possibly around 1-2 seconds.9. It has a wide coverage angle. So even if you don’t install it at the top corner of the room and just keep it in front of the bed or some other corner, it will still give an extremely good coverage. And its motion tracking can also cover almost entire room.10. It is plug and play. If you don’t want to involve an electrician and your socket is close to a good vantage point which can cover the entire room, you can directly plug and charge it like a mobile. Also makes it portable. We have used it to monitor her play area and bedroom and even used it when we went out for vacation.Cons:1. It needs constant power. Therefore, your nanny or baby can turn it off if she knows the switch. Therefore it isn’t for all.2. You need to keep your app constantly open for all the above. So be ready with a battery backup for your mobile. Hence, it may not be for you if you have only one mobile. You might prefer a camera with a dedicated screen for this primary reason.
