I've this for our yard. Been very pleased with it. Away from any power source so solar works well. Had it up since march. Pictures were better than I expected 
Can record if needed but we have it as an alert system for anyone in the yard (or to see the old man wandering about 
)
We lost a rum good guard dog before Christmas so this, for now, is an replacement.

They all do live viewing.

And I don't recon you have to pay over the odds for them , some Dear ones seem to have the same spec as the cheaper ones but a diff badge 
What you got to lose at £25 , put one up and see what you recon ....

Can you use this sort of thing from your phone? How is that possible? Does it require a sim card?I've this for our yard. Been very pleased with it. Away from any power source so solar works well. Had it up since march. Pictures were better than I expected

Yes it's easy , even I can manage it , download the app and the picture appears on your phone and you swivel it round to wherever you want
Only need a SIM card if your away from a wireless connection.
Not all have sim capability so you have to tether them to a phone or sim modem.

App on phone
Even I was able to work it out
Can zoom in a fair bit but quality obviously deteriorates.
I'm fully aware it's not good enough to stand up in court etc, that's not why I have it.
We have an AP point mounted up right high outside the house, hardwired into the router so I've WiFi round the yard (and halfway down the field)
As long as the main router is working in the house then I can access the pictures and live footage wherever I like. When it senses movement, it records a 10sec segment and notifies me.
There are cheaper versions as mentioned above. Not much to lose for 25 quid. I mainly went for this one because it had reasonable reviews and the app was rated as being user friendly. Also didn't have to pay a subscription (though that is an option for upgraded services)
