testing Samsung's 229 dollar smart cam PT seriously frustrated me it's actually a fine camera with 1080p high definition resolution motion and audio alerts motion zones and local and cloud storage you can also pan and tilt the smart cam PT either manually through the smart cam app or using its auto motion tracking feature all of that worked decently well the live feed didn't have much lag the motion tracking feature followed me around provided I wasn't standing too far away from it and the manual pan tilt function let me see most of a room on demand the motion and audio sensors were way too trigger-happy at first but adjusting their sensitivity helped some the bigger problem is that Samsung hasn't made any substantial updates to its smart camp series in years the smart cam app for Android and iOS looks seriously outdated and it's really difficult to find what you're looking for and this camera doesn't work with any smart home platforms even the Samsung owned smartthings hub considering Samsung's status as a multinational tech giant I'd expect much more innovation in this category even if you don't care about smart home integrations the smart cam PT is still overpriced for what it offers I'd avoid this model altogether
