I was initially excited to use this camera to record workmen completing my social housing home, a space I've had issues with before where pests like snails and slugs have left behind slimy trails. They weren't there when they said they would be, so that's what led me to buy it. The motion detector was making the cameras go off all the time, which made me think maybe reducing sensitivity or temperature could help. I ended up maxing out the sensitivity on all three cameras and placed them strategically around my kitchen where I suspected the little pest might be coming in. Every morning for a week, I caught exactly 65 videos of it trying to slime its way through the camera's view. I looked forward to seeing what it would do next, but then I realized that bleach had ruined everything, including my kitchen and walls. So I waited until I saw any sign of it again and positioned the cameras in a new spot - one on the back of the cupboard where there was space for it to hide.
I took a bunch of screenshots to make sure it was still trying to slime its way through the camera's view. Next morning, another 70 clips came out, but I didn't get any idea what it was or even realize that I had an image on my kitchen worktop that showed what looked like a fat slug. That evening, I decided to take action and alarmed the cameras, so I could finally see what this creature was up to.
The next morning, 75 clips came out - almost 25% of the memory stick's storage. The camera turned its side, and sure enough, there it was - sliming past my kitchen sink and making a mess in the cupboards. But then I realized that it wasn't just coming into my kitchen and slithering around my appliances anymore; it had also been using the boiler pipes gap to get up into the area underneath.
I finally managed to squeeze some slug out of there by pulling away the boiler cover, and when I looked closer, I saw a well-worn track all over my walls. It was clear that this creature had been living in me kitchen for weeks, slithering its way through my appliances and making a mess everywhere it went.
I have to say, the quality of both day and night recording is exceptional - every morning and evening I get some new footage or a new slug trail on my cupboards. It's not just the camera that's good; there are also other features like zone monitoring and audio recording capabilities.
