Good product. The app however need to be updated so that I can access the camera and audio on my apple phone

Top Critical Review

“Poor Customer Service”

James R.
1/31/24

I have called and left messages"VM" as well as 4 emails for setup help for a month now and no replies. "0" stars if possible. I am unable to use my camera with the battery pack I purchased due to not having a close outlet. The camera will not work on just the battery which negates why I paid for the battery. After reading their return policy, now it's been too late while waiting on a response. Shop elsewhere. Also, they do not deliver unless someone can sign M-F 9-5. Most people work and it gets sent back to them and they don't reply to ANY type of communication. I had to fight through PayPal to get my money back the first time to then reorder and sent to my job. And now stuck again.

I've been trying to reach them on a defective brand new device for 2 weeks and I cannot get a hold of them. I've tried calling *******848 and I get a no answer or closed for 4th of July notice even we are in August, no replies via email nor chat. Seems only their sales shipping dept. is running but no customer service personnel at all. Very dissapointed.

Item purchased failed upon initial use. Company has not responded to many emails, "live" texts, and does not return calls (phone always rolls over to voice mail). No attempt to deal with product failure.

Order clock, it was back ordered so calling customer service they informed me the updated clock was in stock and they could ship it overnight with no additional cost to me for the updated clock or shipping. This is exactly how a company should handle it. Clock came fast, easy and quick to setup.

Ordered a highly reviewed product, and after one (1) day it failed! Sent numerous Emails with no response. Followed that up with two (2) phone calls (and of course no answer) left voice mails...
With, you guessed it, no response. DO NOT deal with these frauds. They are quick to take your money, but not so fast to back their products.
I only gave 1 star because there was not a ZERO to give!

Bought several products from this group - The first product, the pinhole camera, was great, but I needed to return the second product and I never heard back from customer service about how to do that. I bought a second pinhole camera and it was faulty, so I reached out to Spygear about a replacement and have yet to hear from them.

Bottom line, if the product works and you never need to interact with their sales or customer service, great; if you do, don't hold your breath.

Tip for consumers:
Good luck if you buy something that's faulty. You'll never hear from them.

So I've had this for a few 2 months now. The sound is not the best and the motion detection is average. Still happy with it until this morning, I got a motion notification from someone else's camera! No idea who but it shows face and they're asleep! I have so many questions about this: how did I get someone else's notification, this person is asleep so was there actually a motion detected? I have pictures of my camera and then this one notification I got from someone else's. This is super creepy

Tip for consumers:
Has anyone else gotten someone else’s camera feed

Tried to use different spy apps but they always are complex to use and they just hang or crash midway. I saw posts about Dualspy57@ gmail and I got talking with him. He absolutely did a good job and I'm really grateful to him. I'm in his debt

Company is no issues, I will always go here for this or any other similar products. I have a weather station where the time and temp are constantly wrong one way or the other, and it says it can work on charged battery, but so far if unplugged, dead in an hour. It is fine with me if plugged in, mine is to keep an eye on my mother who has Alzheimer's.

Tip for consumers:
I am just having issues with the weather station maintaining a charge and due to that, if unplugged the time or temp or both are just wrong until it dies out.

I bought here a audio recorder, to be more precise USB flash drive voice recorder, because I had an affair where I needed this technology :)

Well, the price is justified, my usb flash drive voice recorder has a good battery in terms of capacity, battery life is about 25 days + it's cool that you can plug it in, and it will anyway record everything around you.
It is an irreplaceable thing for those who need to have evidence in the future.

I have left multiple messages for the sales department for questions related to the product I am buying. I had one reply but not when I was available. I believe someone should have gotten back to me. I am trying this product anyway because it looks like what I want, but if it is defective or not what I think it is I will be very unhappy to have to pay the shipping to return it.

Returned product…they said that they would have to contact the warehouse to see where the return was and I would receive a refund. Still no refund it's been over a year I've been trying to get this product refunded. No one answers the phone no one returns emails. I am filing a small claims. I have the tracking number and it said it was signed for at their warehouse but yet still have not received a refund very frustrating

I sent an email asking for a refund on a belt that did not fit correctly and they proceeded to say all belts fit correctly and that I wasn't getting a refund submitted pictures of this said belt but nothing they just commented that they've had no bad reviews and no complaints about their products and I'm not getting a refund. Attached is a picture of this said belt not fitting and my current belt fitting correctly.
After careful review of my pictures the company has agreed to refund and stated it must be a new design and they are looking into the issue.

Tip for consumers:
Look at my pictures, there is a little hook you would use & it sticks out so the buckle does not sit securely around your waist. Company has agreed to look into the situation as to why the belt is not fitting securely.

I asked you to match competitor pricing and free shipping but I would NOT get a response back. I need this as I have someone who keeps taking stuff from our home.

Purchased a camera from this company to help a relative with a situation. Turns out that it wasn't needed after all. After struggling to get someone at customer service, I finally received the information required to return the item for a refund as it was unopened. Followed all of the instructions and deadline to return the item on time yet I am still waiting for a refund two months later. I have contacted their customer service through phone, email and chat but have not been able to reach anyone nor have they responded to any emails. So I'm out $200.

I don't know how this company has such high reviews. I purchased a black box camera and the motion detection didn't work. I returned the camera per customer service instructions 2 days later and it was received by them 4 days later. Since then I have repeatedly emailed them, called and tried to chat for the last 3 months regarding my refund and get no response. Nobody answers the phone, there is no one available to chat no matter the time of day and customer service don't answer my emails. I even sent a message through PayPal and got no response. So now not only did I pay $165 for a camera that didn't work, spy gear has the broken camera back to sell to someone else and steal their money as well.

Tip for consumers:
They may say they’ll give you a refund within 15 days but they won’t.

Love the products! Flash drive works beautifully and it's easy to use. Use it to record meetings so I can type up minutes with absolute accuracy. Had to reorder flash drive audio recorder, I either lost it or misplaced it. Wish these little gadgets had a little loop of some sort so you can connect to a key-ring or a necklace chain. They can be easily misplaced. Wish they came in difference colors other than black. GOOD JOB Guys!

I bought a product that never worked. I contacted customer service who emailed instructions to try to make the device work. Nothing worked and they stopped responding. I've tried to get a response for weeks. Finally decided to file a complaint with the BBB.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t be scammed by this fraudulent company. The products don’t work as described and the customer service is nearly nonexistent

Purchased a camera from them that is far larger and nothing like the photos on the product page. Nothing like it was advertised. I've been trying daily for a week since receiving it to submit a return claim via 7 emails and 6 voice-mail. All to no avail. Very disappointed and out $215.

I hope the product performs as advertised; especially with respect to set up. If so, I will definitely buy here again.

I ordered the HD Speaker Wi-Fi Security camera from Spygear Gadgets and finally tried to use it to check on my dog. I had trouble installing the software so I looked up reviews and found POOR RATINGS on the software used to operate the camera. A lot of people are having problems with the software not recording, or too dark or kicking them out on their iphone. The camera says it operates in dark and rotates 360 degrees. Images on my iphone are too dark to see much of anything and it does not rotate 360 degrees, just 90 degrees! Will be returning this item for a refund. I will update my review once I get a full refund of my $175! So in short, look at reviews of the software that the item uses before purchasing!
