I bought the camera mainly for the possibility of adding it to apple HomeKit. Installation and setup is simple and works perfectly in HomeKit. I haven't noticed any problems so far. The only minus is the worse picture quality, it may be due to HomeKit or also a subjective feeling. However, if I compare the quality with, for example, an EZVIZ camera in a similar price range, do I find the video on the EZVIZ camera better.

The camera works, it catches the movement relatively well, the picture looks nice. But unfortunately it is nowhere - I repeat NOWHERE - written that it must be connected to the same WiFi as the HomePod! I read the manuals, I read the reviews, I read the descriptions. That for "full use of this service" (as it is directly written in the product description) you need a HomePod, I'm so over it as I won't hold to use the camera to its fullest. But she's completely useless without HomePod! Actually, I can only look at the live footage if I'm standing next to the camera on the same WiFi. I wonder if it's not more useful to use your own eyes. If I really need an IP camera for this. After asking the manufacturer how to solve it, I got the answer that maybe a repeater to extend WiFi to the basement will solve it and maybe not. I'd better go return the camera.
Price/performance
Apple HomeKit - scan the QR code and go. Easy to set up, a great helper for triggering events in the home.
Completely unusable without HomePod or AppleTV! Possibly and for now usable with the iPad (we're told).
Completely unusable on a WiFi network other than your HomePod or AppleTV!

Overall, the camera is so non-greasy-not salty. It simply fulfills the purpose, but it has many ills, although less significant. I personally complained about mine, because it disconnected from HomeKit on its own several times and eventually wouldn' t connect to it at all.
Apple HomeKit support
Image quality (for the price)
The speaker quality is terrible. Basically, the second is not to understand anything.
After turning it off and on, the camera does not rotate to the previous position.
Sometimes the night vision switches on, sometimes it doesn' t.
Motion detection sometimes doesn' t respond even if you jump in front of the camera. Other times, she detects motion even though nothing is moving in her field of vision. Probably ghosts.: )

The camera works well with Apple Secure Video, that' s what I demanded. I was a little disappointed with the quality of the image, both during the day and at night. Cheaper Xiaomi cameras have significantly better images, but again lack Apple support. But the product is quite cool.
Seamless HomeKit support
Apple Secure Video
image quality rather average
image quality at night below average

Satisfaction after half a year of use. Good product, but terrible SW support. Apple HomeKit works correctly except for the automatic night mode toggle on/off.
Apple Secure Video
Remote motorization and camera setup using the terrible VOCOlinc App on iOS. Fortunately, only initially. Then you don't have to use this horror except to upgrade the camera FW.
Wifi only, pity about the lack of PoE
At night, respectively. in the dark, it does not automatically switch to night mode, which I consider a big and absurd shortcoming on the part of the manufacturer. For the Manufacturer: when it's dark, I can switch over, and when it's light, I can turn NV off.
The VOCOlinc app is absolutely terrible, amateurish. If you don't have Apple Homekit, don't buy it.

Nice camera, easy to set up. Unfortunately, from the beginning the problems were that in the morning it did not switch from the night mode and there was a rosy picture all day. It was necessary to come to the camera and cover the sensor with your finger or disconnect it from the socket. She was aiming for two doors and 90% of the time she didn' t react when someone opened one and went to the other door. I received several notifications during the day that she detected movement even when no one was home. So I don' t know if the shadow moved in the house or if the sun through the window shone more on the wall. I complained about the camera and Alza (or service) resolved the complaint, without any problems, to my satisfaction.

night vision
Shooting
On my home network, my live stream did not start on WiFi at home, only via the Internet
is a bit noisy vertical shooting
Without the Apple hub very unusable. And the Apple hub requires it to be connected with a UTP cable. So, for example, it was not applicable to a dog guard in the apartment.
overall, the plastic looks quite cheap and easy to break

Homekit secure video
Nice sharp image
Option to tilt the lens inwards (privacy mode)
After a power failure, the camera is set back to the default position, not the last one, so if you don't detect it, the camera is filming the ceiling. Hopefully some future fw will solve this
The app itself is horrible - Czech English Spanish English somehow - the creator didn't try to localize it much neither to cz nor to aj. Fortunately, ae just does the pro-vote settings and then the camera is controlled via apple homekit
