If there is any trouble, consider these tips to get the camera set up:

  • It should be within 5 meters (16.4 feet) of the router when you initially connect, after that you can move it further away

Value

Given the number of features that the camera has, the cost makes this Wifi home security camera a great value.

Connectivity and losing signal might be the worst issues with this camera. But at this price point, is an inexpensive option if you just need something basic.

Who Should Buy

The Bagotte Wifi home office security camera offers multiple uses and features to make it a decent purchase for the price.

Consider purchasing the Bagotte Wifi camera if you like:

  • It’s inexpensive: This is a low-priced IP camera. If you just need a basic wifi camera to get going this is a good choice.
  • Peace of mind: The camera can be set up at home or office to provide security and protection. The camera will record anything happening in case you can’t be there.
  • Privacy: Some people don’t like in-home security cameras because they want their privacy. With the Bagotte camera, up to four different areas can be set to avoid detection and recording to keep privacy at a premium. Change the areas at any time using the app.
  • Night vision: One of the greatest features of this IP camera is that it has night vision up to 33 feet. If the baby or an elderly relative stirs in the night, there’s no need to rush out of bed. Simply use the night vision of the camera to see what’s going on, potentially saving a needless trip to the next room. If something happens, a clear video can be recorded for later use.
  • Share with others: Another nice feature is that the main user can share the camera view with anyone they want. It’s easy to grant them access so they can help keep an eye on the baby or pet. Having an additional person to view a nanny or pet camera can help when the main user is busy or out or range.

Summary

The Bagotte isn’t a high-end camera, nor is it a lynch-pin of home security. However, it is a budget-friendly option and is a good choice for a one-off camera that will monitor kids, babies, pets, or basic security around your home. It’s expensive, fairly quickly to setup, and worked well in our tests. If you need a quick and fast camera option to setup in your home this is a good choice.
