Moorebot Scout - Tiny Versatile Mobile Camera Robot for Home Monitoring and Fun, Indoor, Black

Ended up with 2 devices, one I've keep on Moorebot services and other I've got for development. My 5 cents as regular consumer: 1. long battery life as mobile camera 2. very nice interface to drive around, attach to person or pets (follow mode) 3. some patrol function, but not yet ready for use 4. solid design, my drove off stairs (there is no cliff sensors) and no damage 5. day/night vision 6. good range on direct wifi, but lot better with mesh wifi 7. scratch programming for some easy to learn programming same as geek: 1. root access in 6 clicks 2. onboard python example 3. NO access to app after root access! (you have to do factory recover to use app after) 4. you need to develop full wrapper for remote control 5. you could develop C/C++/go/python on-board control, 512MB Ram, ROS, libs already on board 6. it will be optional tracks available, so better, precise driving for map creation coming Overall, good price, loots of use-cases and just fun to drive.

Great for routine surveillance and fun for small pets when away from home. Two way radio as well as multi directional controls to avoid getting stuck. Need more accessories for this little bot.

It's the most dumb robot I ever seen! So many repeating moves to the wrong direction, low capability of correcting its course of move or its direction, low detection of environment, even losing directions during the course of move, it makes you mad! My vacuum cleaner is 100 times smarter and always find its home!

This device has improved leaps and bounds. Its initial camera was quoted as 2 Megapixel, the one I received recently has at least a 12 Megapixel camera rivaling my Dji mini 2 in quality. For the price, this is an amazing product.

Amazing robot came boxed and sealed, thanks amazon

This device is useless and wasting money. It's just a remote camera.

Not as promoted, clunky and doesn’t exceed table top range of operation, Wi-Fi doesn’t work most of the time

Overall, I'm really impressed with the Moorebot Scout. It's a fun and useful addition to my smart home setup, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a smart camera with a bit of personality!

I bought this from Amazon UK, UAE, UK sends me used item instead of new, and UAE the quality is not good, cause to many problems like one wheel not responding, night vision delay in switching, wifi not found etc. Also, after a reset, the bot shows different problems, like a refurbished item. Returned 4 times due this. But i still trust Amazon. And will continue to purchase.

Se le dificulta volver ala base casi siempre, los recorridos de patrullaje no se graban bien, la batería se drena muy rápido, la camara se percibe muy pobre en poca iluminación afuerza necesitas usar los infrarrojos, el audio de dos vías no es entendible casi nunca y suena muy bajo

Love it. To get the cloud notifications for motion detection to work I had to reset it and start again. Other than that no problems.

It's smaller than you think. White bottle cap in the pics is for scale. It's a normal sized cap you'd get from a bottled water or whatever. Up front, this product is still new to me. I have not tried any programming. Think of it as more of a neat mobile camera tech toy, not a roving security guide for your home. More on that below. Think of this a a cool remote camera toy. Seems to be built well. I was able to connect to it from my phone over at another house. It has some adjustable settings. The auto on option on the IR nightvision is fun. The auto off doesn't off as well as it should IMO, and the only adjustment for those settings is high or low. This is fun, and I love it. I consider this a cool tech toy for children ages 8-90. Seems safe enough for youger kids. I've actively tried finding pinch points and the like, but I haven't found any. The only safety issue might be hair getting stuck around the axels (kind of like your vacuum cleaner!), so don't drive it on your head, or over your little sisters hair while she's coloring. I haven't done more than basic pathing to try it out. The more turns in you do in a route, the more off it looks like it becomes. Whatever "AI" they say is in here, is not what I would call AI. It seems like it's just trying to match the distances and turns by using "muscle memory". It doesn't have anything more than the most basic accident avoidance. Mine some how routed into a door frame. One side a wall, one side an open doorway. It turned right, wall. Turned left sees open door way. So it knows at the very least, it has an obstruction right in from of it, but just to the left is a wide open space. What it should do is back away from the object it's pressing it's nose too, reassess the options with the camera(it's pretty limited in sensors and such), then proceed through the open door and gt back on route. In reality, it wiggles around a bit more, then calls out to you to help unstuck it. It has almost no obstacle avoidance. It wont know what to do if someone put a box down along it's path, it won't avoid the chew toy. It does have some avoidance, which I found amusing. It can detect people and pets, and I'm assuming smaller people too, don't have one here to test it on. You can set it to follow you, or your pet. It doesn't work great, but it does work some. I thought it was fun and cute. Just don't try to walk towards it or pick it up when it's looking at you. I backs away in robo-terror, trying to escape the giant coming at it so it doesn't get stomped on. It really did throw it in reverse and back away at full speed until it found the wall Mine has connected to the charger 100% of the time, on both mecanum wheels and the tracks. I think the key is a solid bright(not shiney) surface behind the charger to give it more contrast. A couple times it will do some wiggles, or one time it pulled away about a foot, turned around to scope out the scene another time, and then backed in again. Nailed it that time. So sometimes it reconnects quick, sometimes it needs to have a think, but it's always managed to dock at the charger for me Remember, this is a budget robot. They say that it doesn't have auto mapping or navigation because of "privacy issues". Which is mostly bs. You could always add them with on/off options, or make another model that can do it. That excuse seems like it came from the Public Relations department. I think the real reason it doesn't have those features isn't because of privacy. It's because more sensors and better programing is means higher production costs, meaning higher retail price. Which is fine! I'm happy to have this relatively inexpensive little dood rolling around my place. But make another model that DOES have your features. They already offer to store the pics and vids from it on the cloud, but personally if I'm already sending pictures of my family and the layout of my house off to a remote cloud, it's not that far of a stretch to just allow it map and navigate itself. It has programming which I haven't looked at. It has pathing, which I've barely touched. I suppose you could make a path and a schedule to run it so it can do security sweeps around your house. Might work for you, might not from what I've read. Also, this thing isn't loud, but it's not a "Stealth Device". Unless you have a lot going on around you, you'll here it creeping up on you. What you can do to check on your house, is drive it yourself from your phone, anywhere you have cell service. Play with the animals while you're at work. Use the audio function to ask your significant other to start a bath for you so it's ready when your home, because texting is so 2023. Some other review said he was using it to check under his cars and stuff, so he could check the undercarriage without lifting the car. Someone else had said he was away from home and used it to shut a door the kids left open. I've tested this. It is torquey enough to shut interior doors. It can move my front door, but I doubt it could do it with enough force or fast enough to shut it. Finally... Some other reviewer said "it wont dock with the base station with the tracks on because it can't crab walk now. It tries to move sideways but can and just sits there"....... Bruh, you need to switch it from wheel to track mode on the controller. Same if your putting the wheels back on, put it back in wheeled mode. It changes how the bot moves, and it's smart enough to adapt to either choice of locomotion. You can tell right on the controller what you have the setting on. If the left thumb stick only offers forward and reverse, you're in tracked mode. If it has 4 direction indicators on it, it means it's still in wheeled mode.

Awesome little robot, it is fun and really easy to use. The setup was very easy as well, it connects to my phone and wifi no problem. Controlling the robot is also easy, it’s very fun because I can make it drift lol. Into the security part of this, I think this is very sophisticated. I setup a path for the robot to go through every time I ask it to, I can also set it as a motion sensor and have the siren rings when it detects motion (you can actually set it to exclude different motions such as your pets). Speaking of pets, our dogs are very curious about this little robot and would try to play with it every time the robot is moving. Overall, I think the image recognition on the robot is very nice because it can automatically return to it’s home once it detects the checkered label on the home. I haven’t tried this feature yet, but it looks like you can setup your own automation by using the drag and drop feature from the software. :)
