    Well definitely don't buy these for 75! They are worth around 20. This seller seems to be just importing them form the US and charging a lot more!

    These cameras are made by Xiaomi and usually go for around 20ish:

    Wzye seem to be a company who are repacking them and rebranding them for the US market, along with different firmware/app/cloud service, offering extra features, like IFTTT, which aren't available from the Chinese versions.

    The extra features seem to be pretty nice and actually top some of the features I got on my recent Yi Cameras, hopefully they add them. They include:

    - IFTTT
    - Alexa
    - Free 14 day storage of 10 to 15 second alert videos
    - Alerts for motion, sound, smoke alarms and co alarms, nice

    Note, I don't have one myself, but they do look quiet nice.

    I have 2. We ordered about 10 in total for a group of us direct from US. Worked out at <25 a camera including postage and customs.

    Can't fault them. Simple to set up and in fairness if you have decent wifi they are rock solid. Had to reset 1 in about 6 months.

    Tip: use a wall socket with a USB connection and it makes it look a bit nicer!
