I plugged it in and had no trouble whatsoever setting it up. However, upon the first use the piece that plugs into the usb port became exceeding hot, to the point I unplugged it immediately because I was scared it would catch fire. I didn't use it for a little while until I could do some research. However, since then, I have used 8-10 times in the past 3 weeks. Each time, it has became hot again within 2-3 minutes of use. I reached out to the seller where I was told this was normal and not to leave it plugged in continuously. This product advertised as if you could leave it plugged in all the time. Never did it mention in its advertisements that you needed to plug it in only for a minute as you look at the baby. Although the ease of set up and video quality is great, I would not recommend this product as it is so expensive for something that cannot be used for more than 2-3 minutes at a time.
