Kogan Products - Like The Kogan SmarterHome™ Motion & Object Tracking Pan & Tilt Smart Camera

I am interested to hear from other people who bought the Kogan SmarterHome™ Motion & Object Tracking Pan & Tilt Smart Camera. Did you expect the camera to track an object as the motion sensor is triggered?

This is the product description from here https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-smarterhome-motion-object…

I can't get it to track an object. I can't link it to Google as described. And I can't see where you can insert a micro sd card.

I think a lot of people purchasing these products don't get what they were promised but most of us just go oh well. However, I'm thinking of taking them to task on this to see how it goes. I've told them that it is not performing as described.

    I can't link it to Google as described.

    You cant link it to your Kogan Smartherhome account, as described in the manual?

    Please note that Google Assistant/Amazon Alexa can only control the core functions of this product. To make full use of all functions, please download the Kogan SmarterHometm app.

    And I can't see where you can insert a micro sd card.

    Is this the microsd card slot? As shown in the listing

      You're right Spackbace about the SD card and Google Assistant connectivity. Any idea why it doesn't follow an object as it records motion?

        No idea, sorry :/

    Worked out the motion tracking, when viewing the camera live, you can tap on the top right corner to open the menu where there is an option to turn on motion tracking. There is also the ability to change the playback recording to only when motion is detected rather than at all times.
