It’s easily accessible through the Nooie app which is easy to navigate.
Review:
We use it mainly as a baby monitor and the quality is INSANE! The sound quality is also wonderful and we love the motion/sound detection which automatically sends updates to our phones. I think for $49.99 the Nooie Camera 360 is a steal and offers so much that similar products don’t.
