XiaoFang IP Camera VS Samsung IP Camera

Okay, I just got this a few days ago. I bought it because of the low price. I already using a Samsung IP Cam for about 1.5 years now and very happy with it. In case you want to know the model number, it is Samsung SNH-P6410BN. It cost around RMB 600.   This Xiaofang 1080p IP Cam cost me less than RMB 100 but still, I will have to compare it to my Samsung. Like the Samsung, it can record video in several ways. Continuous recording or record only when it detects motion. Samsung one can also be triggered by sound. Xiaofang can also be triggered by Smoke and CO2 alarm sound - whatever this means. No, I don’t think it can detect smoke or CO2, it just detects the alarm sound.
