Does Camtrix Camera Really Work? Here’s My experience Using It.
On seeing the promotional ads for this camera, I quickly placed an order with high hopes that it would work even though it looked very much like Spyfocus, a scam camera I bought sometime ago. However, to my greatest surprise, when my order arrived, it did not turn out to be exactly how the manufacturers claim it is. I was surprised to see that this camera is even MADE IN CHINA not America.
Though displeased, I still went ahead to give it a try, I was able to set up the camera only for me to discover after the set up that the camera quality is nothing to write home about and the battery even runs down fast. Also, the app contains a lot of bugs and advertisement and demands much access to my phone which I find annoying. All the promotional videos were actually false. I regretted making the purchase. I tried returning it and getting a refund but they are requesting for extra fees despite the huge amount I paid for this piece of chunk.
Pros.
- It supports Android and iOS devices.
- The camera can be placed anywhere with the help of the magnetic stand.
Cons
Negative Reviews From Real Users.
The only positive reviews about this product are the ones given on their website. Sadly, they are not honest reviews. As a matter of fact, there are several negative reviews from users of this product on Amazon and Trustpilot. Many complained that the camera they ordered were faulty and of inferior quality. There is also no room for return and refund.
Not Endorsed By CNN, Forbes And Others As Claimed
The manufacturers of Camtrix claims on their website that verified magazines like CNN, Forbes, FOX, Gizmodo and many others are their promoters. However, this is just a bogus claim used by the manufacturers as a marketing strategy to attract customers.
It Is Pricey.
Getcamtrix.com is selling this camera for $39.99 and they even claim that they are selling it at a 50% discount. Whereas, they are actually drop shipping the product. It is sold being for $3 on Aliexpress. The margin between the two prices is way too high. Why spend so much buying this camera from them when there are other cheaper options out there.
