product review

As one of the more unique products being reviewed, this small WiFi camera does stand out to me and here are some things I like about it:
1. Its simple yet firm construction, relying mostly on acrylic parts and some 3D printed parts.
2.  The camera's capability to link to an app on your smartphone or device, which can be useful when monitoring the camera from around your house or workplace wirelessly through the app.
3. The short time needed to build and set the whole camera up, which can be done in 1-2 hours without any major issues. The parts are also individually packaged in plastic bags for better organisation.

One thing which I would like next time is if paper instructions could be included with the product, which will simply make construction easier.
