Comments on Kangaroo: Simple Home Security for Android
★★★★☆John Timmers· Feb 14, 2026
I've had this device for a few years now. I've only changed the batteries 3 times. Simple set up. It has started to act up lately though. Many times it doesn't record when its suppose to and the motion icon/set up is really acting up from normal to extra. I have to reset it daily as the sun goes down. Picks up movement at least 80 feet away, and then misses movements from 2 feet away. Pictures are not always clear yet still does its job. I fear I may have to upgrade soon to a newer model.

This app along with the security cameras is so affordable and actually does crazy amt of stuff for the FREE ACT U GT WHEN U BUY CAMERAS! Of course there is the option to upgrade-which is what u have to do to SAVE anything it records-but just basic surveillance is EASY & FREE u can even watch live feed on the free act! Best bang 4 ur buck I've seen & I gt ours at WALGREENS! Alerts are quick & pretty reliable & have motion detect as well as SOUND! Feel more in control in ur absence too & gt em!

Tried to set up doorbell typed in all the Wi-Fi information said it failed setting up but showed device. Set up chime actually worked to set up but wouldn't show on the app. Nothing works everything's very buggy waste of money and time. Seems like a giant scam

The unit did not work from opening the box and when kangaroo were contacted the service was absolutely atrocious with several back and forward emails of backhanded apologies and me chasing info and sending vidoes, but they made up excuses and never ended up helping. So did what they really wanted, and I gave up and am I buying an alternative which my friends tell me works great with good service. Stay away from this product as unless it works perfectly, you will most certainly not be helped.
★☆☆☆☆Maureen Yakus· Jun 2, 2026
The system works sporadically and can't be counted on in an emergency. Customer service was very polite and escalated, but I had no help except an email to press the doorbell and see if the app will then work, which is ludicrous if there is a threat outside. Open the door on a threat, press the doorbell, and hope the app works. I replied as such and never heard back. It is a flawed system and doesn't work consistently. Escalation fell flat with no help after I requested a phone call for assistance
