Brilliant camera and works well in heavy rain. Very good quality in the image whether the sun is in the way or night light , it adjusted to the scene clearly
pros great picture quality night & day recording easy to install & setup and use, all done via the app
cons This does not only apply to IEGeek camera but all security cameras when camera is pointing fully left or right it will not pick up motion from opposite direction many times I have walked or driven onto my drive and the camera has not picked me up (because it was pointing in opposite direction) for me all cameras should have 360 motion detection maybe a sensor at bottom of camera to over come this ??? but still an outstanding camera
So read the reviews and seen nothing but good points about the use and set up.
So I took the plunge and glad that I did.
Easy to set up, easy to install, and the picture quality is brilliant day and night, and to top it off is doesn’t get affected by the weather which is a good thing.
You can speak to people outside and set of an alarm to deter intruders if needed brilliant. Plus added values you can record, take photos , and it pans,tilt,zoom, and will track people when they pass Infront what more can you ask for in a camera.
I would highly recommend this camera to anyone who needs to set up security cameras on their property first class.
Please don’t waste your time, energy, sanity on this camera, all it’s done since it’s been up just after Xmas is cause me rage.
What is the point in having a camera if it’s constantly not loading, constantly not recording (even tho you pay the prescription) never opens when you want it to, offline, online, offline again.
The bits it did record cut off half way through.
Customer service is no good because you can’t get anyone.
And when you do they tell you to reset it. Well yes I’ve done that 12 thousand times.
Installed, reset, configured all the damn things a normal person would do and yet nooooooo
I only added 3 pics but I have loads.
I needed a camera for important reasons and it’s failed miserably.
One really annoyed person
Edit. Customer service has been in contact and have done their best to sort this issue.
Had a problem charging the camera with the solar after several emails/ attempts to sort out the issue, the company have arrange to send me a replacement solar panel. Easy to set up, took 20minutes from start to finish. Highly recommend
I’ve been researching cctv cameras for months, and there are so many with different features and price levels I didn’t know where to start. Eventually saw this one and for the price thought it was worth a punt. Tested it in my porch for a few days before permanently fixing outside and I couldn’t be happier! The tracking is top notch and picks up everyone walking by and follows them. The sound detection picks up even the birds at 4.30 every morning . The picture quality is great for the price, even on colour mode. It stores to SD card (and/or cloud) and you can access all recordings remotely from the app without having to remove the sd card again. Only use a 64gb card though – it doesn’t seem to like anything higher than that! 64gb on all day colour recording lasts around 4/5 days and will then loop record continuously. Fab for the price and I’ll be buying another shortly to cover my back garden.
Too short to write full review,but at the moment works as expected. Battery level is always 100%, not sure is it because it is always fully charged due to solar panel or it is just a software bug. I need to use it longer to understand it. Overall good product.
I received this camera two days ago and mounted it yesterday. Since playing about with its different settings , I think it is absolutely brilliant. The resolution of video is excellent and the solar panel seems to keep the charge topped up after initial charge from the mains . The sensitivity of sensor can be adjusted to suit your need and situation. Highly recommended indeed !!! Will be investing in another for the other side of my house now .
I have had an IE20 model for a number of years and found it to be very good, and have persuaded a few friends and neighbours to follow my lead, as it is a far cheaper solution than a popular doorbell brand currently offer. However, I think the recent bad weather finally got the better of the IE20 camera, so I opted to replace it and upgrade to the IE66 with 6Mb resolution. This was a significant improvement on the IE20, but I found I could not use the IE66 model with the CamHipro application on a phone or PC. You have to use an ieGeek app that has less functionality. I have another older ieGeek camera in use, and want to use both cameras on the same app. If an IE66 is your first and only ieGeek camera then you may be OK. I’ve returned the IE66 as incompatible, and purchased another IE20 that I’ve since installed and that works fine.
Battery runs low quickly but possibly because of how busy it is where I live and it is triggered a lot. The purpose for this camera for me was for night monitoring mainly for 2 cars that is regularly being broken into . It triggers a sound and spot light alarm if any motion of humans lingering is defected and notification is sent to your mobile. It records the motion for the time you have set it to. The skip rats who have been causing alot of costly damage to our property are becoming aware of the camera fitted and the recordings at night are becoming a rarity.
Bought this model (IE66 F300) as a replacement for a IE30 model which produced many false alarms when nothing was happening. This model seems to have a much better AI chip and Human Motion Detection reasoning. I am only getting alerts when someone enters the frame and it is performing well. The 6MP image is excellent and a great improvement on the IE30 in all light conditions.
My only criticism is that there is no open to select and store a zoomed and positioned specific area for alerting which the previous model had. All good apart from that.
You can connect this camera either via a LAN cable and plug it into a DVR or just pop in a micro SD card, connect the power adapter, and configure it with your Wi-Fi. The second method is simple and cost-effective. You don’t need a DVR; just install multiple cameras and link them to your ieGeek account, and you can access them from anywhere. Since these cameras support micro SD cards, you don’t have to buy cloud storage. You can view the recordings from anywhere via the internet. Isn’t it a cool feature?
I’ve been using it for a week now and am quite satisfied with the purchase. I have even compared the image quality of this camera with traditional CCTV cameras and reached the conclusion that this camera is better for various reasons.
I have managed to add this camera to my qnap surveillance station app using onvif. To enable onvif you need to install iegeek camera app and enable onvif option. You can then manage it via onvif manager software. However I am unable to use the ptz manual controls via qnap app. No idea why. The camera works well and has decent night vision and infra red. The resolution is nice and crisp and colour night vision is decent. Once I can get ptz manual controls working il add another star.
It is quiet big but the functions make it worthwhile.
Mine has lost the memory settings 2 or 3 times which is irritating but easily replaced using my phone. The “follow a person” feature is good, but not perfect, it has got stuck on full rotation once or twice instead of returning to position 1.
I have this camera to enhance an existing cctv setup, I couldn’t get the camera to show up with the others on a monitoring screen however for more than a second unfortunately, I tried several times and gave up. The camera is still worth having though and I would recommend it despite the above.
I had to get these camera’s based on recommendations, straight out of the box ,the first thing that impressed me was the solid construction and weight of the unit. Because of a break-in some time ago and being a vulnerable pensioner,( all old people,can’t physically do what they did ten years previous), once mounted and the programs set, it was put into position. I love the fact that you dictate the area’s that will set off the motion detection and combined light’s/alarm etc no more false alarms, it is very very sensitive even on the lower settings, picture quality is excellent, a slight bit out of facial focus compared to some other makes, the big value item is the fact that a128gb SD card will provide all the storage needed, save’s on $59 a year cloud subscription,in fact I went ahead an purchased another for the rear of my house. It provides so many options ,that setting to exactly what you need covered is no problem, my red setter pup had to have his picture included
Very impressed with this item it does exactly what it says, works well and easy to set up
What a great camera and easy to use, good price too for the quality of it!
This camera gives WIFI access is wired with a 12 volt adapted supply and is pannable remotely.
The instructions say you need an 80% WIFI signal at the camera. (Camera eqipped with twin antennas)
My camera is around 10 meters from the router and an external wall in between – I still have an 82% signal at the camera and it never drops out or looses access.
I couldnt initially work out how to switch on “intelligent tracking” (the camera is capable of locking onto a movement and panning automaticilly to follow it).
The iegeek customer service responded quickly and sent instructions (and a video!) to show how to switch on – now activated – although at the time of writing I have not yet viewed a recording of a tracked target.
The camera records to an SD card allowing triggered alarms or normal footage to be reviewed without the cost of cloud storage.
Only cons I can mention are:-
-There are 3 wire tails on the camera – ( a reset button, ethernet socket and the 12v power socket)
I didnt want these dangling in the wind so bought a waterproof junction box (75mm x 75mmx50mm was sufficient) installed it alongside the camera, took the power supply out the rear and through the wall, and tucked all the tails neatly inside.
Like some products the installation manual could be clearer but with my experience with the igeek customer service – help is readilly available
I would definately recommend this as good value for money and very functional, and DIY installation capable.
I have fitted over 12 of these cameras for family and friends now as they are so simple to use. As long as you can get wired internet or WiFi and have a socket nearby ( you can purchase a separate extension power lead if the one one the camera isn’t long enough to reach to a socket.) I would recommend purchasing a good quality high read write memory card as well as cheap cards are more prone to failure. The night vision and the option of colour night vision using the illuminating LEDs on the camera is brilliant. You can pan tilt and zoom these cameras from anywhere in the world using the mobile app. You can also watch back the footage which is saved on the memory card in ten minute blocks using the app. You can download the footage and save it to your phone in seconds. You can set-up alarms to be sent to your mobile if movement is picked up on the camera and you can select a specific area of the screen for the alarm to monitor. Until you use one you don’t realise how much you get for your money with these cameras!
The seller contacted me to help me with my issue. Definitely their customer service is amazing and the want their clients to be satisfied. They’ve have offered a replacement and few clues to make sure the camera will meet my expectations. I will test it further taking into consideration seller’s advice.
I’ve bought this camera with a huge dose of doubt. Battery powered camera with so many functions? It sounded impossible. I’ve tested this camera for almost a month and now can share my honest opinion.
Positives: definitely very good picture, clear night vision in infra red and colourful with built in LED spotlight. Really good resolution of recorded videos. Multiple settings and useful options. It really does provide 360 degrees of view. Battery is so efficient that after a month of constant monitoring and recording it still has over 50%. Very easy installation and set up.
Negatives: response time and connection strength. My 3 band mesh router is right behind the wall, where the camera is installed. Despite small distance, the camera shows 60% of WiFi signal. Being next to the camera I achieved around 300Mb/s download and over 30 upload. This shouldn’t cause any delays in camera response yet the movement and control of the camera is veeeerrrryyy lagging. I recorded video while using the camera so everyone can see how it works. Maybe my unit is faulty but this makes it useless for me. I need it to move quickly and efficiently without delays because this spoils the whole idea of wireless outdoor camera.
This camera performs far better than I expected. The night vision is excellent and even on dull days the solar panel produces enough power to keep the system up and running. Bought it for the front of the house now thinking of buying another to cover the rear of the property. All round totally excellent and it keeps the wife happy as she can now see the whole street.
Bought this camera with the solar panel to cover my garage and front door, very easy to set up, the instructions are straight forward and I had it up and running in less than an hour. Although the instructions state the maximum micro sd card you can use is 128gb, I didn’t realise that when I bought a 512gb one, but it works fine.
Received it in time, very easy instalation and perfect for what I need from a security camera.
Good stuff
And best thing is u can rotate the camera.
Doesn’t matter where ever u are
Worth of money
Excellent quality. Good customer service. Well packaged. Highly recommended 5 stars
Install outside house. Was easily set up and meets all the requirements. No need to sign up for any monthly storage deals. Just a working offering
Got this camera for the back garden and it works great. The picture is fantastic and the camera is operated easily via the mobile app.
Very simple to install, I had a difficulty with combining the cameras to the ap.
The technical department responded immediately and I was able to sort the problem out in minutes.
This camera is well worth the money you can turn it side to side it also has light for when it gets dark you have to get a sd card so you can record I’m very pleased
Super easy to install camera and great view even during night. Great zoom quality and works well with my 128gb card . Also the human detections works great would recommand .
Second time I have installed an iGeek camera. Looks and works like a professionally installed system.
The APP is great and the recording feature works well with SD card.
Would highly recommend this camera
It’s very easy to install, set up, connect to WiFi, and easy to move up and down and left to right with your phone. CloudEdge App is also very easy to use, giving you a nice option like turning on or off about if there is any motion, human detection day and night, full color night vision or black and white night vision alongside a clear picture. What I really liked is the alert zone (Alarm Area) which gives you an option to select the motion detection zone.
Good camera does the job easy to install no messing around with wiring
There were no dislikes with this item, wasn’t to sure at first, but, the installation is really easy, just follow the guide. The picture quality is great. The Wi-Fi connection must be a least 10 meters and I have no issues with it. Really great buy and would buy this again without hesitatio
Home security while we are away also for our holiday home in spain.
Picture quality excellent, perfect for our needs.
This camera exceeded all my expectation,excellent.in every respect ,picture quality very good and easy to install and set up
Very impressed with the quality of the camera. Would definitely be interested in more ieGeek products.
Night vision great, motion detection works great, picture quality is really clear. Very happy with this purchase.
I purchased this camera to replace a different make of camera and have not been disappointed with the performance or quality this camera provides.
Amazing camera, easy to install and used, really good quality of picture during the day and night, you can turn aroung the camera from the app dont have to do it manually!!
The camera was very easy to install, the app is simple to setup and very happy with the day to day operation.
Great IP camera for the price. 2nd one purchased on behalf of my father. He is extremely happy with the design, performance. 5* all round
Product arrived well packaged and was so simple to set up, images are clear and the products received are of very good quality. I will buy more once I have replaced my garage with a new unit as I want security externally and internally.
I was a little daunted by the setup process but as it turned out I needn’t have been. I followed the limited printed instructions and downloaded the cloudedge app. It then took me through step by step and in no time I had a picture. Considering the light level I was suprised at the quality. I was hoping for a bit more resolution when I zoomed in but it might be better in full daylight. It is very easy to operate from my tablet and have also connected it to my wife’s phone as well. assuming all continues to be OK I will purchase another as a security camera for the rest of the house.
I have no complaints regarding this product. Easy to install and set up. Picture clarity is brilliant (night and day). Robust and easy on the eye when fitted in place. Once you have the hang of all the controls then it is easy to handle. This product has surpassed my expectations and would recommend it to anyone. Very happy with my purchase.
seems a decent build quality easy to set up EXCEPT fitting micro sd card a nightmare inaccessible and cover snapped 128 GB New 318 card rendered useless
East set up, no wires picture quality excellent as is night vision. Able to speak through camera if people approach door, floodlight and sure.
Just a great product and quality.
Very easy to setup, takes 5 mins quite literally, just need a small spirit level to ensure bracket is ‘square’ on the wall and not lob sided
I found the yellow drawing area useful for setting the trigger area for the alarm identify exactly where you want the trigger area.
Very easy to move the camera (pan / tilt) from within the app and to delete unwanted recordings
The battery appears to drop a 2-3 percent power per day so battery life so I would estimate would be 2 to three months depending on triggering of sensor and how long you set the recording for.
I set mine for 30 seconds
I really like this camera in the first week I have used i
This is the 2nd one of these we have purchased to cover the rear of our property. Easyto setup and install and easily controlled from the phone App.Great camera for price. Would highly recommend.
I love this camera works great only problem is the auto alarming function if you live on a busy road the automatic detection sense the reflection of light on your own car and notifies you as moveme
I like the picture quality it’s not brilliant but good for the money the big problem is the WiFi it’s range isn’t great I had to get a WiFi repeater for the playback to work properly
Spent a couple of hours trying to get the app to discover the camera with no sucess but eventually got there and it works as described
Considering the price for this camera it’s great, it’s easy to set up and easy to use! I had a slight glitch and the customer service team sorted it out swiftly , really friendly and very helpful
Easy to set up. Wi-Fi signal great. Wall fixings could be better quality but they ok. Picture is great on the app which is so easy to set up and use. Night Vision is good.
Just a great all round camera. Battery staying on 100% with the solar panel.
I like the user interface on the app and I have also tried a few other cams where the “alarm area” doesn’t always work.
With this cam’s software, you simply highlight specific areas of the image you wish to have triggered by motion sensor. This works well if you have an area within your cams frame that you do/don’t want to be monitored. For example, if you live by a road, the passing cars will trigger the alarm constantly, but if you select a certain area only, you won’t get constant notifications.
Also, a little tip: when in live view you can pan/tilt by simply swiping left/right/up/down. Which I think is handy.
I only wish it had a sort of “park mode” where if you pan around, you can simply tap “Park” and it goes back to default instead of having to move back manually.
Definitely worth the money.
Easy installation, easy pairing with smartphone and good video quality. I’ve just installed it and can’t really advise on battery life although I bought the solar panel version.
Easy to set up and easy to use.worth buying this product i recommend to everyone.
This camera is a ‘winner’. Very easy to install, easy to connect to WIFI, looks great and works very well. The images are very clear and much better than previous security camera’s we have used. A good price for such an awesome camera.
So confident of this camera that we have ordered 2 other ones from the same seller.
Easy to install,easy to connect app and great value. I brought solar panel add on even in low level sun battery still full.
This works really well holds its charge and I use the features regularly. I would recommend this Camera if you want something easy to install and good value for the money
After a year of use, the camera works very well. the image is clear and the battery lasts over 2 months (on average, it records about 20 records during the day). A very good camera and I sincerely recommend i
I’ve bought this camera to use to keep an eye on a property abroad. It was incredibly easy to setup and was up and running in 5 minutes. The quality is great and installation of the app was very intuitive. I now have 2 of these cameras and both have worked flawlessly now for 3 months on a single charge.
Good images and the app is easy to use. PIR is sensitive. Good produc
Over the past few years i have bought four IEGeek CCTV camreas they do what it says on the box they are easy to set up and work fine in both my back garden and at the front door. The quality of the picture of the 2k version is great and i am surprised how much wildlife i catch on camrea.
Really happy with my purchase of these battery powered security cameras, i purchased one first to try it out and once i was happy i purchased another three to cover the whole house. They are easy to link up to your mobile and due to not requiring any wiring can be mounted any where you like on your house. The clarity of the pictures is very good in both day light and at night and the night lights work well to light up the garden. The cameras are easy to mount but you need to think about this when you position them as you will need to take them down for charging.
These cameras are great and are a good quality.
I purchased a couple for my Mother in Law and fitted them easily.
So I bought some for my own property and they are really useful.
Love the fact that this is easily set up, provided that it’s installed in the correct place
These camaras are great. We are so pleased with them. Set up was extremely easy and using them is straight forward too. Everything can be seen clearly, some great features too. Very highly recommend. Well worth the money.
Bought another one as we were so impressed.
The battery lasts ok. Been working for 4 weeks and still got a charge.
Night vision is ok but not as good as other cameras I have.
This is by far the best security camera I have.
No wires needed all through WiFi perfect picture quality for day and night
Very happy customer here
Good points -cheap, easy to set up, excellent night vision, siren/barking dog alarm when triggered, mobile phone app to access both live feed & recorded playback.
Bad points- even turning down the sensitivity the alarm is easily triggered! Short power wire which restricts placement. Even setting the system time several times its usually hours out when checking the recordings.
For the price its a cracking piece of equipment.
1) It works just as good as the blink camera which is much cheaper and works just as well if not better
2) its not a 360 camera but it is close. it goes up, and side to side but it doesnt go downward which is really strange
3) it picks up sound really well but if your too close to the camera with your phone the static is unbearable so remember if you mute it to turn it back on
4) the battery life lasts around 3 months and i check mine multiple times daily
I would highly recommend buying this product. I did have a problem with my first camera and the seller was fantastic they replaced without any problems. And sent a new one straight out. The customer service is second to none. The app is easy too use also and the set up is straight forward.
This is the best camera I’ve purchased I’ve had others and the day and night is quality is so clear. In colour or black n white.
Easy to set up, good Wi Fi through several walls, several weeks of good battery, but now I’m going to use a solar panel,
so I don’t need to take it off, to charge it. USB charging takes several hours from about 30%, but the manual recommends that you don’t fully charge it, thus giving a longer battery life. Record times can be adjusted from the default, as can motion sensitivity. Picture quality is great. Because it needs no external power supply, it’s easy to mount wherever you need it, if it’s in Wi Fi range. Good stuff.
My only wish is that it had an optical zoom, thus the 4 stars, but otherwise it’s a recommend.
I bought this for the rear of our house for piece of mind. Was in my basket and then got a flash deal on top of an already reduced price. Got it for an absolute steal at 85.
The picture quality is good both day and night, battery seems to last forever (30% used in 2 months), motion detector is good and can be varied to suit surroundings, new software update now includes a alarm siren to warn off intruders/trespassers, very good 2 way comma feature to enable you to tell an intruder to “do one”, good range for internet connection (mine is 15 metres away and doesn’t drop out at all), excellent scanning and zoom, lots of features.
The camera itself looks quite impressive on the wall outside and is definitely a visual deterrent.
Literally took me 30 minutes to install.
All in all, very pleased!
The camera is good quality but doesn’t have zoom as stated
Easy to mount and set up .
App is easy to use. The battery life is excellent.
Fairly good picture quality both night and and day responds well to motion PTZ works as well as you would expect, the battery life is better than expected
Bought 1 months ago and is that good I bought another 3 , they are quite expensive but very good
Great little pan and tilt camera.
Great value for money.
Really easy to install and set up.
It has great picture quality, even with night vision.
Only small gripe is that it is sometimes a little slow to react to motion.
It does exactly what I want of it though… added security for my home.
Great product. Value for money. Motion detection is great. Battery life good.
Set up not too bad considering it’s got lots of options.
Instructions are written in English but it’s a bit Chinese English
Wifi connection is only ever going to be as good as your system, I found it worked fine for weeks then struggling to connect, then okay again.
I ended up hard wiring a 10 meter patching cat 5 cable to it because Sod’s law says it will always make it fail when your away.
On the up side the camera will keep recording even if you can’t access the video, so you can review it when you get back on line.
A 128gb card record’s around 3 weeks of video.
Also you have to go through the options over and over again until you find out all quirks.
Easy to review alarm and other recordings.
Easy to set alarm area, by reducing the activity area. Also the sensitivity is set at 4 out of 100! So it’s super sensitive and needs careful setting or it will be sending continuous alarms.
App works fine, use the CamHipro. When using the app, you will need to refresh it by touching the video showing, or touch in the blank area and pull down. Yes it sounds weird but if you don’t it’s frozen from the last time you looked at it. Check the time in the top right corner to see if it’s refreshed.
Update 18th may 2022
After installation of hard wired Ethernet cable, no issues with disconnecting, also play back and live stream is quicker and smoother.
So although it’s sold as wireless (WiFi) (wireless does not mean no power supply), if you can hard wire to your router it will be much quicker and more stable.
Also with the sensitivity of the alarm trigger, you probably need to reduce the setting to about 4 (out of 1-100) and also reduce the area of detection to just where you want, it works well.
Connection very easy works very well night vision quite good
Returned this product, didn’t suit my purpose, browsing for a more suitable camera
Sorry, it worked for 4 months then we had an internet issue which was sorted in a few hours.
Had to bring the camera in to reconnect. We got it working again so we have put it back up. The camera is very good , great video quality, battery last for 2 or 3 months. I would buy one again.
Overall, the camera itself performs okay but ………..
It took an age to set up and get connected, not helped by the inadequate and confusing instructions. Why do manufacturers get their manuals written by people who know how the product works. Much better to get a novice to write them so a novice can use them! The PC software is next to useless, basically allows you to view but no PTZ control as far as I can find. The motion detection is way too sensitive, constantly triggering on rain drops and even worse with IR mode at night. Insects and even reflection from the IR lights cause triggering with the sensitivity set low. I had to stop getting notifications to my mobile because it would be going all day and night. The detection area has very limited scope, essentially left screen, right screen or whole screen. There is no facility for setting smaller individual areas.
The connection ‘tails’ are way too short and bulky. If you need to pass then through a wall then you had better have thin walls and prepare for a large hole. The mounting screws with mine were far too short, barely long enough to get through the mounting with no length left to screw into the wall plugs. I had to dash out and purchase longer screws.
Quality is excellent, I should have got the solar panel, the battery lasts about 2 months depending on use.
Wish it had an alarm sound that a person can activate or deactivate otherwise it’s a good camera
Hardware works well but App not so good and needs improvement.
The set up was relatively easy, using the broadband router. The camera itself is great, good motion detection and picture quality. It needs to be plugged into a power supply so we had a friend drill into the garage and fit a new plug socket for us. Day 1 we were so happy, the app worked fantastically. Day 2 not so good, a constant issue with connection. I’m purchase a WiFi booster to see of the issue is the camera proximity to the hub, rather than a poor app. So for now a poor rating. I’ll update my review, if its an issue our end. Day 3, since connecting to a wifi extender everything seems fantastic. I have updated the review as promised. We have no issues connecting with this device remotely either, so I’d suggest the other reviews with connection issues is due to the proximity of the reuter to the camera. You can purchase a wifi extender on amazon for 30. Not far off 5*. I’d just say the lack of forewarning about wifi reach and the need to have the camera plugged in and the work required to faciltate that let it down so slightly.
The only improvement I could see of being great value would be an auto tracking feature.
This has impressed us and is doing a great job. Everything comes to our phones in a timely way and it keeps us very well informed.
The picture is naturally better with this model since it has moved on with the technology but I was surprised that the signal kept dropping out considering it has two antennas as opposed to the single antenna on the unit it was replacing which never had signal issues.
On contacting iegeek with my woes they replied that due to the increased bandwidth required for the resolution the cam needed a strong WiFi signal and to try a booster. Thankfully I had a redundant Netgear booster knocking about and plugged this in close to the wall the cam was mounted on. This seemed to cure the problem.
The second issue I found is that on testing the tracking capabilities, the cam only tracks with a panning motion (left/right) and does not employ its tilting motion (up/down). This I think let’s down the tracking claims as for instance if you had this cam mounted high on the rear wall of the house and someone walks across the garden it will pan across to track them. But if they then walk towards the house (towards the bottom edge of the field of view) the cam will not tilt down to follow them even when you can manually do this with the screen controls. So an intruder could basically walk to your back door and the cam won’t follow.
I assumed tracking used both axis so I’m a bit disappointed with this to be honest.
Where I have mine mounted its not such an issue but I can see it would be a problem in lots of circumstances.
Otherwise happy. A 64gb micro SD is adequate. Quick access from the app. Sound quality excellent.
I was advised to get some sort of security camera by a local policeman due to some naughty behaviour being carried out in the close proximity of my property. He explained you can get one for about 20 on Amazon. So I decided to have a look and I found this little gem. I shall explain the process on receiving it.
The set up couldn’t be be easier, I downloaded the app first, it’s a step by step procedure once you turn on the camera. I didn’t even had to ask my 16 year old “techno” son. So feeling confident in my newly found expertise I had a look through the settings. It’s all well laid out which makes it easy to get around. Still no help from my son !
Getting it into position was easy. Once you’ve decided on a place for it to go you fix the back plate bracket to the wall drilling four holes to fix it , place camera on bracket, job done. All in probably 20 minutes max to set it all up from initial turn on to fixing it onto bracket.
One thing I will say is you do need to play around with the sensitivity to get it right. I wanted mine to just do my front garden, but it was picking people up on the pavement beyond the garden. I have got it about right now.
Picture quality is amazing in normal and night vision, properly good !
The intercom feature is brilliant for scaring the mother in law when she comes round.
All in all very pleased.
I bought two cameras and one failed after a short time, but was quickly replaced and all is working well. The after sales service was excellent. Good cameras, easy to install. would buy again.
Easy to set up. Works well. Not sure the the estimate of battery life is correct. Picture very good especially in hd.
