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.

★★★★★ J JJ · Oct 28, 2024

Omg I love this product so easy to use. I love my video doorbell. Best product ever. Never feel unsafe.

★★★★☆ Michelle Wood · Sep 12, 2025

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!

This is a piece of junk I thought might work as a cheap doorbell cam ...paid 30 bucks at Walgreens picture is awful range of camera was 10 inches around the blurry lens don't waste your money spend the $100 more and go with ring

★☆☆☆☆ Chris Gulaboski · Dec 30, 2024

BUT I GET A ERROR SAYING SOMETHING HAS GONE WRONG....PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER..... PFFT IVE BEEN TRYING FOR MONTHS..... WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME.... NOBODY EVEN TRIES TO HELP ME...

★☆☆☆☆ Jean Renouard · Nov 13, 2024

PLEASE WATCH YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, THEY WILL CHARGE YOU A YEAR LATER AFTER YOU CANCEL ACCOUNT!!!! I canceled a year ago, 2023, and Kangaroo charged me again in 2024. The doorbell did not work and had the wrong firmware.

★☆☆☆☆ Jonathan Bazley · Jul 18, 2024

Trust & Safety: The app requests a broad set of permissions (location, camera, microphone, Bluetooth, storage, notifications, etc.) and includes Ad ID-related permissions, which is common for ecosystem analytics but requires clear privacy practices. A dynamic receiver permission is listed, which should be implemented securely to avoid exposure. Overall, features align with home security use cases, but users should review the privacy policy and consent disclosures, especially around data usage for advertising and insurance-related features.
