"The devices would have gotten us killed," an Army report claims.

I would like to know a bit more before I go tinkering with this (I'm not buying it to play steam games, of anything I'll be playing GoG games or flash games on it).

Do the different versions really make a difference? It talks about faster ssds, but they all take a micro SD card, right? So I should be able to get a quality SD card (for cheaper than staam's mark ups for disk space) and run off there, right?

How well does it run windows programs

Executive Summary

Good; and in the right hands (tech head) with a subscription for Cloud storage probably very good.

Operation

1. The device seems to work (motion detected/recorded to SD card) without a wireless connection but the wireless connection with the relevant app enables you to remotely swivel the camera head so it would be good for parents checking on kids etc but it seems the device's intruder-function is performed by having it pointed at the relevant area e.g. doorway; put on the motion-detection setting; and for the image to be recorded to the card or Cloud (subscription).

2. No fees unless you buy Cloud storage. I've read that if you don't pay a subscription some of the features might not work e.g. remote swivel viewing.

3. I got the item to connect to a wireless set-up via a Tablet (Android) as I don't have a smart phone.

4. I've uploaded (daytime) images from the Card and they were very good but it was a pain checking 40 or so video clips so I hope there'll be fewer now that I've stopped messing about with it (movement detection).

Conclusion

Would I buy another one? Not sure.Doubt it because getting up on a step ladder to retrieve the card is a pain and getting the camera aimed at the right place e.g. door is a pain. For me, a battery operated trail-camera is probably all I need as I can point it any way I want.
