Qubo Smart Wi-Fi Indoor Security Camera 360 Degree (Hero Group, 1080p)
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: The specification worth reading is the one about subscriptions. This records to a microSD card you own, with no monthly fee and no requirement to keep paying to retain footage -- unlike most of the imported cameras in this catalogue, where the recording is the subscription. Qubo is a Hero Group brand with Indian service, which matters more for a camera than for most categories.
