Thank you very much @CTRONICS!
Brought camera July 2021, was working perfect then unfortunately stopped connecting to device one day.
Tried weeks to reconnect. Gave up.
Contacted CTRONICS directly to find out if it was me doing something wrong or the camera.
Sent a video of the reset process and the camera functioning. CTRONICS offered a replacement which came today (all in all took a few days to solve & receive!) can’t wait to get it back up 🙂
* Camera quality:
Overall amazing purchase , picks up any sound & movement outside your property & Starts recording a “human recognition warning” for you straight away.
It has a function to allow you to talk through the mic. Also, a night time light which is perfect in a area where the night street lights get turned off. Only looks like a security light too !!
Can’t recommend it enough, also brought one for the back garden too . Once again, thank you 🙂
I couldn’t connect this camera at first to my phone and ultimately my Wi-Fi network but the after sales team sent me some step by step instructions which has got my camera fully functioning and I’m so happy with every aspect of the camera
Bought this around 2 yrs ago and don’t normally write reviews but the camera stopped working, on emailing the company I received a reply back from Lucy who informed me the camera had a lifetime warranty and after a few checks by their engineer it was agreed to send me a new camera which arrived in 2 days, Lucy kept me informed all the way through the process and her customer service was absolutely fantastic, if your looking for a cctv camera to look after your property then this combined with excellent customer service is the camera for you, highly recommend and would have no hesitation in buying anymore cameras from them.
Bought this camera to keep an eye on my property and car. When it came I found the User Manual not brilliant but online help good. Worked through the set up and got the camera working with a very good picture. I then went through all the settings and found that I could not set up my email to receive notifications, so I emailed the Customer Support and had an email back from Eric Shenzhen explaining what I needed to do to try and fix the problem. This all worked and now I receive emails with a picture when ever the camera picks up any movement. Overall I am very Happy with the camera, price, quality and service.
better quality than my parents HD cameras they have installed that cost over 1000quid, these little beauty’s are easily installed easily set up and easy to check in. I even use them to communicate. the amazon drivers to tell them where to put my deliveries if I’m not home. All in all an excellent surveillance camera, fantastic value for money and if you run into any issues the support team are grea
Works well.. night vision is good.. intelligent detection is good.. easy to set up..
I have just taken delivery of second camera. I can thoroughly recommend these cameras. The price is excellent. The picture quality is first class. The night mode colour recording is great. Installation and set up is easy. I have mine on PC and mobile for easy access. The online tech support was tremendous, given time difference the response was very fast and through. All in all excellent product and service.
Was a bit sceptical but this is a good piece of equipment for home purposes. Well worth the money
Night vision quality was good, including the “colour” night vision, which is just when it turns on LEDs to light the area, the big let down that caused me to give it 3 stars, is that not even 5 months into use, and the LEDs for both night vision IR light, and normal light, have stopped working, rendering it useless at dark. The motion detection is iffy, on higher sensitivity it tries following raindrops, on lower sensitivity by walking fast you can get out of its field of view easily. Picture quality is average.
I looked at many camera’s, tried a few and of them all this camera had the best combination of video quality, on board features like PTZ with auto tracking and audio, and of course price. Many cameras with a similar feature set were far more expensive. Ease of setup was also really good, 15mins from opening the box to having it connected to my home network and controlled from my phone. And for me one of the most important things was support. I had little trouble connecting it to my non C-tronics NVR for central recording so I emailed support. They replied straight away and they sorted the issue within 24hrs, brilliant! Happy custome
I Initially bought one of these to see how good it was, I was not expecting what j got, the picture is exceptional in all weather, the motion tracking is great and it is a very solid camera, the initial set up can be tricky I think some people may struggle with that but once set up it’s amazing, I have bought a second one, recommended to friends, installed two more at my parents house and one at a freinds, and all of them work like a charm brilliant cameras, I would highly reccomend
Without doubt this is the best value for money regarding quality. The aftercare (I needed to connect to my mobile) was quick and accurate. The quality of sound and picture is perfect. It does exactly what it says and is easy to use. My second item is on its way and I would reccomend this to anyone.
Hi I use this camera for keeping in eye on my log cabin, the night vision picture is excellent quality really clear, same as the day time. You can set to have light auto, colour, and normal (black and white). Easy to set up, I use mine in my phone, the controls are easy to use.
The on line help and email service is great, very quick to respond and very helpful. Will buy again.

Bought for a relative.
So far happy with it’s functions, have seen the pictures, day and night vision etc…for myself and I’m pleased with this camera so purchased a further two – one for self. The only thing I would say is that like others’ have said, the instructions could be a lot better and written a lot clearer.
For the price it’s a great piece of kit so far.

As a complete novice as regard to these devices – i’d heard on TV that you could get them for about 35 ? so looked at the range – and paid a bit more, very easy to install and operate with a large choice of features that you may or may not use (e.g. choice of siren or dog barking – played from the camera!),
I understand that some cheaper units use some generic software that can be problmatic – but we have no complaints so far.
I was so impressed with the camera I purchased a week ago and have now installed, that I bought another today to cover the rear of my home . Easy to fit I was impressed by the responsiveness of the camera to motion, the quality of the picture and the various features available make it unbeatable at the price The colours are very good too both in sunlight and at night when my security light switches on . It’s a bargain for the price and makes my old IP camera bought last year look shabby by comparison.

I personally bought this to keep my garden and front door area safe& it does exactly that! Every little thing that goes past the camera is caught by the detection and its brilliant, even flys!! I love the product, even people who come to visit say its a smart looking piece of tech, a few of my family members have actually bought it! Please remember if your buying this product to buy and SD card too for maximum pleasure!! Enjoy!
Initially I had problems connecting it to my wifi so I can’t comment on that.I connected it to my hub by ethernet .Once connected the camera has smart tracking and mic ,Also at night a light comes on .It records to a micro sd card.Have to say I’m very happy with it,sends alerts to my phone and was easy to set up,other than the wifi connection.
Purchased this to cover my back garden and I have to say I’m not disappointed. Easy to install but would say I had to use a WIFI booster to get a decent signal. This is probably not the cameras fault though but something to bare in mind if looking to buy.
Picture quality considering it’s connected via WIFI is really good, just remember to switch from SD to HD for the better quality. Functions are fantastic and all easily accessible via the App on your phone.
My only negative would be the motion detection, it has smart human recognition and you can crop the frame to an area where you would like it to detect from, however the camera picks up anything and often things you can’t even see or would notice like grass moving, the rain can set it off, the pegs on your washing line and so on. I now have to turn the notifications off on an evening due to how sensitive it is because I end up waking up to 70+ warnings. This is annoying as the idea is to have a camera that detects human motion only.
Overall, these are nice cameras. The app can be downloaded to your phone or pc (and android TV in my case). Works well, the motion sense is accurate and the camera follows any movement (this can be turned off). Night vision is good quality and the microphone feature works well.
The one thing I would recommend is that you connect the camera to your home network with an ethernet cable whilst setting it up. On wifi the camera could not be recognised but as soon as I connected with a cable it could be set up. Once set up it flips to wifi as soon as the cable is disconnected. No issues with drop outs or losing wifi connectivity.
Bought a few of these to install around the house just before we took off for the summer holiday. The cameras arrived promptly, well packaged. The design and quality of the materials look sturdy, should have no problem withstanding the elements. The box includes everything you need, down to the network cable. Installation was very simple (as long as you have electricity and WiFi where you need it), all cameras work well together on one app.
So far no issues, will follow up if I see any.
Here is a photo of the camera I purchased. I ordered it on Amazon and it was delivered a few days later. It is easy to understand the instructions and to fix to the wall. Once in place the picture is amazing, especially with the motion detection. I can replay, pause and screenshot anything I need to. The app on my phone is brilliant. I can watch what is going on outside my home from anywhere.
I have had a couple of questions to ask the Ctronics Support here and they replied straight away, asking for the details of my camera and once they had that they were able to help me and solve my problem
I would recommend this camera to anyone.
The only small fault I have (and this is my fault, not Ctronics) is that I did not insert a big enough memory card and plan now to buy a 64 GB one
This camera is very good for the price as my previous ctronics was fixed and more expensive.I use this as a door camera but can scan the front of the house and zoom in to a certain area.I did not use the set up instructions included, but found the set up easier from my original ctronics camera.Overall good value for the money.
Works well good price took motion detector off as it only lasted a month I have it just fixed to one position so works well as stationary camera. Motion detector never did follow image that good anyway even walking slow so if someone ran past it wouldn’t keep up
It is in my garden attached to my summer house. It acts as a security camera, which I can watch on my phone and I also watch all the birds and other creatures visiting my garden. A real lovely item.
This camera seems to be high quality and was very easy to set up. The image quality is 1080p and the camera can easily be moved via the app. The night vision gives you the option of using invisible infrared light to see or using regular white light to see the image in colour. Visability at night is very far with a road 50 meters from the camera clearly visable. Shown is a screenshot of the app prior to the camera loading(usually takes at most a couple seconds)(screenshot was taken prior to loading for privacy reasons) where the different functions are clearly visible.
Everything just worked as described in the manual. Very easy to use and images are perfect. The only thing that threw me is that there was a gland included, presumably for an outdoor cable box, but without cutting the cable or removing it so warranty was useless it became redundant. Signal quality is far better than the previous camera was. Good piece of kit.
The overall performance of the camera is very good, the night vision is very clear with the ability to view different angles ensures that all aspects are covered. The illumination at night is excellent I am very pleased with it’s performance generally
For the price this is well specced. Performance is as expected and setting up was simple enough for anyone with reasonable knowledge
It is fairly easy to connect to the router.
Pictures quality is good.
Range seems OK.
Had mine for about 6 weeks now and no problems.
Down side is it does pick up on passing traffic and wind blown trees. Not sure the facial recognition is that good but it certainly picks up and follows moving objects.
Night Vision is good.
Easy to fix to wall or whatever, (2 screws) then 12v supply (230 v transformer)
I had the 10m power extension which makes life easier.
This is a great little camera for those who want a simple to use, easy to set up security camera. The picture quality it’s brilliant and motion detection even followed my dog round the room while I was having a play the camera! Obviously there are better cameras available, but unless you’re guarding the crown jewels, I personally think this one does exactly what it’s supposed to do!
I’ve now purchased three of these and I highly recommend them

Bought this camera as a cheaper but more useful version of some of the big brand ones. The auto tracking and the ability to move the camera is very handy. Quality so far is good and it’s relatively easy to set up. A strong WiFi signal is required for a stable connection but the camera has an ethernet port if you can get a cable to it. Micro SD card is required to save videos and photos. You can receive emails to tell you of activations and sometimes the app gives you a notification. All in all its a good job not seems to be worth the price.
Does everything it states. Night vision is good unless it rains. First one is a bit complicated to install but once you’ve worked it out makes the next ones easy. Had about 3 months now with no issues. Wine a free one with the promotion in the box. Arrived quickly. I havent used motion detection on it. Alerts need to be at lowest scale or every month or rain at night triggers a email alert if you have it set up to do that.
Overall the camera is great for the money, The image quality is very good and clear both day and night however I have found the app to be very glitchy and the web interface does not work in newer browsers on Windows and Mac

I brought this camera as a neighbour brought one and I was impressed with the quality. I am very impressed my the ease of use and the quality of the image. I would like a humanoid setting on mine as it is not there. All in all a great easy to set up and use security camera. A good buy and highly recommended.The customer support team have been very responsive by email.
I bought one of these while I was waiting for my garden to be secured. I was so impressed that I picked up two more to be able to see all around my property. A good price. They are pretty much the same as the first one. Great vision and responsive. However there have been a few issues with disconnection which is very frustrating. On the positive side I am so speedy at deleting and resetting the device now! I spoke to Amazon about the issue and they were very supportive and checked that I had done everything correctly. They also contacted the company too. I did yet another reset and it has been working since. I think it may be an issue with my wifi too as I have problems with other Wi-Fi connected products dropping out too. I now have BT booster discs which hopefully will sort this problem.
I have four Ctronics CCTV Wifi Security Cameras installed around the outside of my house. It makes me and my family feel safe because at any time we can see if anything is happening outside and if we hear a noise, we can take a look. Wherever we are, the email function sends an image to our phones whenever movement is detected or someone or a vehicle comes onto our property. With the ‘four pictures’ view I can see all views on one screen which makes viewing very quick and convenient.
There are many other things that we like:
– We can see where our cat and dog are in the garden and what they are doing.
– We can call them by using the microphone function.
– With the sound un-muted, we can hear the birds singing.
– We can check that the garage doors are closed without going outside.
– We know when the postman arrives.
I mounted two of the cameras on a corner of the house (using plastic corner brackets that I made) and ran the power supply wires down the back of a drainpipe – see photo – and through a hole I drilled in the wall to a convenient 13-amp socket inside the house.
Like others have reported, I initially had problems setting the cameras up but this was mainly a case of getting familiar with the technology. By carefully following the instructions I found it quite straightforward in the end.
There is an extensive, very useful and easy to use menu which gives control of many of the functions.
All aspects of the Ctronics brand including their products, website and support seems first class.
I am really pleased I bought these particular cameras which are one of my best ever technology buys!

So many features for the money. Using as ONVIF camera with my DVR/NVR. I like the auto tracking feature and PTZ. The spotlight feature is also great but I don’t need this for the location of the camera. Pictures and colour are superb. Would recommend If you need a small discreet PTZ camera to cover a large area. I’m using it with WIFI connected to my wireless router which is wired to my DVR/NVR and have no issues.
I am very impressed with this camera that I’ve purchased two so far with a third on the way due to some of my property being far away from a mains plug the fact that it’s 12vdc allows me to run it off a car battery and a solar panel for data I’ve used a raspberry pi and a mobile data add on card. Ctronics if you read this, I would recommend producing some kind of add on kit for a more streamlined approach to setting the camera up in remote places. I can’t recommend this camera enough at this price. The only room for improvement would be to give the motion sensing software a bit of an overhall as I have bird’s nesting near-by that have rendered this function unusable
I paid under 30.00 for this camera, so truth be told, I wasn’t expecting too much. When it arrived, it was well packaged and looked very impressive for the money. The first problem was the sd card cover, because you push the sd card in, till it clicks and holds, if you then push the silicone cover over it, it releases the sd card, but with a bit of fiddling you can get it on without releasing the card. Don’t bother setting up the wifi just with you phone as it is flaky at best, just download the app to your phone, plug in the Ethernet cable provided into the back of your router, then into the camera, follow the instructions and you can enter your wifi details manually. once this is done disconnect the Ethernet lead and it will connect to the wifi. I have a few cameras, Blink, Yi and Victure, all of which were easier to set up, but none of which offer the value this one does. Good quality images SD or HD, notifications, night colour image (this is only due to constant bright leds) so I just use the auto setting which uses IR and turns on the floodlight only when it detects movement. Remote viewing, with a surprisingly quick connection. Think you’d be hard pushed to get better for less than twice the price. I wouldn’t bother with movement tracking as I think its a bit glitchy, but what ever you do don’t have the colour night option on with movement tracking, as the light attracts moths and the camera will have a fit trying to track them all.
We brought this Citronics camera as the competitor we had brought had to be returned due to no Customer care and faults. This camera was easy to install both from software and hardware. You don’t have to spend money on buying cloud space which is very important in these hard day’s. The SD card works well. The one problem is the camera sometimes cannot be manipulated on the phone very easily when you want to suddenly want to watch something. We have installed it on our front porch since our neighbors were troubling my wife due to her skin colour. The light in the night is very bright so it has to be turned off. It has a good night vision. The customer care replies to emails immediately but they don’t make a lot of sense. The camera by itself is good we got in one of Amazons sales.
After seeing all the other good reviews on this item I decided to purchase it. It is fantastic! Great quality on day and night vision and simple to use. Great value for money and added peace of mind
Bought this camera to replace a previous set up I had. The camera is very easy to set up – Switch on, locate the camera’s WIFI signal on your phone, connect & configure with the app. In order to access and view the camera whilst away from home its important to add your WIFI network (via the app). The camera has many features which can be configured for individual needs. The sensitivity can be adjusted depending on the location etc. The picture quality in HD is very sharp both in daytime & night vision. You need a 64GB SD card to record the video which you can transfer to a home FTP server or other storage if required; otherwise, the camera overwrites the oldest video footage on a cyclic basis. The 355 deg pan and 90 deg tilt features are useful as it means you can mount the camera in otherwise difficult locations and have a good all-round view. Overall, for the cost a great piece of kit.
Camera excellent smart mod is clever but never rests tends to find something it likes and pans in normally a cat I turn smart mode off and pan out very good camera with 3 night modes low light colour, infra red or colour via built in spot when it picks them up

This outdoor security camera has some brilliant futures and is easily set up.
Excellent picture quality at day and night.
* colour night vision
* Auto Tracking
* smart motion detection
* two way audio
* app control
All in all, great security camera for the price.
Fantastic Camera!
I’ve been looking for a security camera for the back garden of our home for a while now.
I purchased this as it sounded a great all rounder for price, and reviews.
I must admit I was a bit dubious of the price as it has undercut all of the other competitive prices for all of its amazing features – but it’s worth every penny!
As you can see from the photos it’s all packaged really well in airbagged wrap.
The camera has everything you need:
.
– Auto tracking
– Color night vision
– Advanced HiSilicon 3516EV200 chip.
– All Platform Supported
Ctronics security ip camera supports smartphones (iOS, Android), tablets (iPad, Android), PC(Mac OS, Windows). This is the most convenient way to watch from anywhere, anytime.
– Your Privacy Comes First
We offer AES 128-bit Encryption, it’s officially recommended by many security agencies (including NSA). It’s more than enough, it could take billions of years for a Brute Force attack to find a password to decrypt original message.
– Stronger wifi signal.
– Excellent heat dissipation.
– 1080P Full HD.
– Cover every concer, no blind angle
Thanks to the horizontal movement of 355 and vertical of 90 you can remotely control the video camera by rotating to look at every corner, internal or external, via your smartphone. The built-in microphone in the Wi-Fi camera can record what really happened and the ambient sound on the scene.
Camera is very easy to setup with the app, although I had problems with connection to my pc which couldn’t find the camera but I added the camera details in manually and now up and running. Not sure which is the best place to mount yet, so just tested on a piece of wood. Picture quality is very good and so is the audio. Motion detection is very good. Would be great if you could remove wifi antennas if you just wanted to use straight to LAN. Overall an excellent camera, but it is my first so can’t compare with other makes. Wish I had gone for the black model.
We were really impressed with this camera. dispatch time was fast and delivery was next day. The set up was really simple and straightforward which meant the camera was up and working in no time at all. We wanted this as a way of seeing who was out the front of our property quickly and easily and with the app that’s exactly what it does. The picture quality is much better than I expected as is the night vision, meaning the captured shots are clear and crisp and because it is all on an app I can check the camera from anywhere giving us that extra piece of mind.
As previously stated I would recommend this product to anyone in the market and if your not looking for something like this …..Why not??
I have used some other WiFi camera before but find this range amazing value for money.
The camera is easy to install as it can be hardwired or WiFi connected, and the camera has active motion detection which when motion is detected it will track it which makes it easy for security needs.
The camera also is mains power and comes with an adapter you simply plug in to the camera and the mains, no need to wire it into the mains. Plus with night vision the camera is a great addition to our house.
This is a great camera, unfort i had to return it due to its size and my wifi signal, i did manage to set it up after some time – app is clear, picture quality great – most importantly the returns process and customer service was faultless and returned my money immediatly
I brought this as a replacement for a very old one
Wish I had sooner,
The quality is amazing night vision is very very clear
Very easy to install with a handy free app
Everything about the product is amazing
I will be ordering a second for the back doo
Simple setup if you have a basic understanding of technology and wifi, etc. App is really good and the remote control works well. Night vision and colour (lit) is very bright and clear. Picture quality is more than acceptable, camera movement is in fairly big jumps, but still OK. Motion detection is sensitive, but I need to set it up properly by choosing the area to monitor and the sensitivity level. Overall physical quality appears good as well. Would recommend these to anyone looking for a simple and cheap setup for a little peace of mind.
connecting by wifi was not easy – i first linked them to my sky box by ethernet – the (Apple) app can then find them and add them, however getting to operate on wifi only took some doing. I had to update my CamHi programme, add them to it whilst still connected by ethernet, logout log – back in, then in properties i could see the camera details and set up the wifi link and password, once this was done they worked on the wifi.
to set up each 1 probably took 10-20mins each – this may be a quirk of the HiCam software – its not got the quickest response time.
Once I had set up the cameras on my phone / pc, using the HiCAM app on my wife’s Samsung was much easier – because the cameras were set up to wifi already.
an improvement in the App is required or use an open software protocol as some other cameras do.
price was good as well.
I dont use the motion detector function as the local wildlife would be setting it off all the time at night.
still to sort out the LED lights and how best to use them.
Pan and tilt is useful when we want to see what going on out side (nosey).
All are fitted with 64GB cards to record and this has helped when drivers back in to our bollards (600 high, 100diameter), drive on our grass – if only i could post these videos
This camera is great. Everything you need is innthe box and the instructions are clear. The app feature with its alert messages for motion is great for keeping track day or night of the goings on. The night vision helps clearly see anything at night that we need. Much better than just black and white. Once we’d installed I felt more secure in our home and what more can you ask for.

I have just installed the camera with the image going to my mobile phone. I am not computer savvy but the instructions were easy to follow. I have fitted to an outside wall about 2.8 m from the gound. The images are clear. The motion detector is quite sensitive. Although the running instructions aren’t comprehensive setting a preset and email alert etc, the online help is prompt and supportive. It’s a good camera and excellent value for money
I’ve had this camera for just under 2 weeks, purchased to replace / work alongside a wired outdoor camera system which was losing it’s infrared night vision after 5 years. Having had a break in at home last year I’ve been looking to improve on our existing setup, while my original camera got a conviction I was due an upgrade. I was surprised at the price of this camera for the features provided, things have moved on in the past few years and a replacement for my wired camera would’ve been more than I bought this for.
I was also lucky to win a second camera with the scratch card that comes with this camera, while this initially made me wonder if it’s too good to be true, the quality of this camera for the price bracket is fantastic and is ideal for home / business use.
Both the night and day picture quality is very good and in HD with audio recording too.
Good points:
– Great HD picture quality both night and day with the ability to choose from 3 options for night time – Infrared night vision, full time colour picture with built in floodlight or the motion sensitive floodlight. I’ve chosen infrared to avoid disturbing the neighbours when an animal / person walks past as I live in the city.
– Audio recording (though this to me feels intrusive, my cameras are installed outdoors and it could be very useful to have the audio too if any crime is committed)
– PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) is great as you can adjust and change the camera angle from your sofa with the app, to focus on where you want to watch.
– Wide camera angle, I can see a much wider view than with my wired cctv cameras (which I still have as a backup)
– Fast wifi connection
– Easy and quick to setup with the app, you will need an outdoor 12v DC connection, I was able to split the power from my existing camera easily to add this into my system.
– Can be viewed remotely with the phone app, and you can speak to and hear people using the app.
Negative / points of improvement:
– intelligent motion tracking – I found didn’t work as well as I’d hoped due to living in a residential area, if you are using this in a back garden / indoor work area it’s fine, and for the price bracket it’s as expected. I would recommend turning the intelligent tracking off, as it will track anything that moves and possibly miss anything that happens in your chosen surveillance area while it’s tracking something else.
– PC control – With the recommended app for PC I so far have been unable to connect at all to either camera, it is very confusing so I haven’t bothered, it would be nice to be able to have control of the cameras and view recordings easily on the PC/Mac, I am just using the iPhone app, and you can download footage from there.
– Night Vision doesn’t always turn on due to bright street lights nearby, I moved the camera to a different location and it’s improved.
– When using the PTZ the motor noise is slightly loud on the recording but I’ve not heard it when in front of the camera.
– It would be good if the Micro SD card slot had a screw to secure it and make it slightly more difficult to remove.
What would I improve? Mainly a decent PC app & the intelligent motion tracking, but for home use and once you’ve got it setup in the right position for your needs it’s a great camera.
I’d also say the motion alarm can be quite sensitive in bad weather but I’m used to that with my existing cameras. If you prefer intelligent human detection you can buy the more expensive version. For this price point you’re not going to find any better in my opinion! I tend to check the alert recordings periodically as I’m in town so there’s a lot of people and cars passing by.
It’s my first time getting an IP camera and I’ve avoided the internet of things as much as I can so I wouldn’t have anything inside the house that has audio / video connected to the internet, but apart from my hang ups on that I’d recommend this for the price you can’t go wrong.. would I have one inside? No but that’s not directed at this brand – I wouldn’t have any internet connected cctv in my house, however for outside security use it’s great and I’m very happy with both cameras so far!
We have an older fixed camera but the night vision is much better and being able to rotate and have a two way conversation is good . Great value . The cables are big but i put them into a weatherproof socket box and just run the power cable into the house. Will be buying another one.
fantastic picture quality easy to set up
slight issue with flash player if you want to watch on a computer as it have been withdrawn across all platforms
there is a work around using older versions of explorer firefox and safari
Worked brilliant from November 2020 till January 2021 then it stopped moving so we took all the trouble shooting advice and it still didn’t work so I emailed the company and still no reply . Product is great but customer service/aftercare not brillia
This camera is fantastic. It comes with everything you need to set it up and attach it to the wall. The camera picture is very clear and fab that it has night vision and motion detection technology. I think it’ll act as a deterrent to anyone who’s see it at my home and knowing it’s getting clear pictures even at night gives me a sense of security. Highly recommend and good price for the quality of camera.
I’m pleased with the image quality once the camera is set up.
The installation was easy enough, but the PC software is ancient and not at all intuitive so it took ages to sort out how to configure and set passwords.
Plus points.. good pictures on night and day vision, good coverage and good connectivity. App works well.
Negative points.. It is not motion detection but pixel changes which means that it
Alarms every time it rains or snows or the lights from a passing car at the end of the road flash or even the emissions from a boiler set it off..
Easy enough to use/set up, but software (for PC) is really annoying to use, too many options very poorly labelled. Once set up camera performs well, recording to SD card (keeps about a week on a 32GB card). Wifi connection strong, and hasn’t complained about rain, snow, wind or ice. The Android app is mostly fine, but does occasionally drop connection to the camera. The time on the camera was lost around once a day, reverting to May 2020, but this problem seems to have gone away.
Great camera not too difficult to set up and it all works well, slightly deceiving description as there is no way you can zoom in on anything. The zoom controls are greyed out on the app. But still a great bit of kit for the price.
Like- I really like this security camera. Design wise very good and sturdy. Pictures are really good day and night.
Even night time you can view colour pictures. It also detect human and follow them around until they are there and after it comes to stop in same position as before. I own few other security camera but I most like this ones pictures quality, you can zoom, pan, tilt.
Dislike – you get notifications for everything like rain, wind, leaf moving etc. I actually had 11 notifications in hour on the calm day so imagine how many notifications it will send on rainy, windy day .
I have set up on low medium sensor. If you set on lower then that you won’t get any notifications until person came and long gone.
I am going to return this one and buying CTRONICS security camera with human detection option and I hope it will resolve my problem.
Make sure your DVR/NVR can support this quality camera
I have a hybrid DVR set to 4 coaxial and 4 IP
Unfortunately to use this setting I had to select 960 and unable to select 1080
Tried setting to 1080 and meant I lost all my coaxial cameras
Had to set back to 960 to utilise the other cameras
Set this camera up as an independent camera
Top quality, picture, motion and night view
If I upgrade my coaxial cameras to all ip I would definitely use this camera moving forward
-good price
-easy to use app
-excellent picture quality
-night vision good
-can take photos/video of live stream
-sound/hear/talk function
-easy to fit
Cons:
-wire not very long (can’t have mine outdoors for that reason)
-must buy SD card
-motion sensor STUPIDLY OVER sensitive (this is a real issue. Loads of false alarms)
-quite tricky to set up
-only emails one picture to you
Overall, if you want a decent, proper security camera pay a bit more and don’t buy this one. This camera is for people to add a bit of extra security to their home rather than some actual, proper tech that makes a difference.
This is a very good camera for the price.
Night vision is first class and in colour.
Not all functions work on the laptop ,but is still better than some higher priced cameras.
Very good tilt and pan.
I bought two ,one just to watch wildlife in the garden.
What an amazing camera this is! Firstly it came really quickly and was packaged lovely.
I am not usually the one who deals with anything technical and electrical but my husband was at work so I had to set it up myself and I was so surprised at how straightforward and easy it was to do !
The set up is really simple and can be done through an app on your phone and then once you are set up you are ready to go.
The picture and video is such amazing quality !
It is definitely the best camera that we have ever purchased and such great value for money.
Really recommend these products.

We got the security camera as quite often our children play outside and the back gate leads into a car park, after worrying that they can exit or others can enter we decided to get a camera that will allow us to Monitor them from our phones. This has been perfect for that. It’s small and discreet so looks good on the wall outside and always acts as a deterrent for unwanted problems as well as giving overall peace of mind. The picture quality is good. On the Box there was also wall fittings for putting it up.
I purchased this camera for security for my house! “Won’t post pictures for security reasons” the camera is absolutely great! Works amazing, very fast and perfect quality! The audio in this camera is great wasn’t expecting this when I bought it. This is going to come extremely useful I can see everything with a full vision and can move the camera around myself from an app! When I’m shopping I can go into the app and look at my camera to see what’s going on outside my house! Definitely recommend! This is an amazing camera and will definitely recommend to everyone and will use it all the time.
Nice small camera Good pic quality Easy set up and connection to phone Haven’t tried night vision as of yet but will update you on that.. great value for money all round. The only down thing is that there is no ZOOM only if you do with your fingers on the screen like on ya phone ie open close fingers on screen !! Then you loose pic quality
We’ve been after a security camera for a while and picked this one based on price for the specification. The box came well packaged, the camera was easy to set up and the pictures it produces are of good quality.
Easy to use and good even in low or no lighting. The night vision is still super clear. It’s a bit bigger than how I’d pictured it so I couldn’t place it in the position I’d originally envisioned – but I soon found a suitable spot for it.
I also loved that this camera came with a sticker to put in the window to notify passers by, those entering your home and/or potential thieves that there is CCTV monitoring on the premises.
Amazing product! Where do I start…
Intelligent tracking is great with the automatic swivel and tilt of the camera, ideal for watching a large space with just one camera. The night vision and lights are extremely powerful meaning that no area is to dark for this camera. Night or day it works perfectly. You get a crisp clear image with no stuttering with this camera unlike it’s competitors.

Camraworks well does what its supposed to instructions very vague tho tells the buyer little had to do my own research apart from that im pleased with the performance so far night vision is excellent and picture quality also very good user manual rubbish in my opinio
Dislike connections, if u use Etherley its not sealed. Unable to turn camera to look about, if u have a power cut u have to enter most details again & scan QR code which is on back of camera, means ladders out undo cam.
Speedy delivery. Came packaged securely in a well presented box. Comes with screws and wall plugs to get you started straightaway. It’s a great camera that is easy to set up and install. We connected it with the network cable then just download the app & added our device. This is a wired camera but the cable was long enough for us to connect to an indoor socket. Colour night vision is great & you can use the controls on the app to scan the area yourself. A great product from Ctronics!
So after someone tried to break into my house twice I decided to order this camera after many recommendations. I was super happy with how it was packaged as it prompted a safe delivery . I haven’t fixed it to the wall yet but I have tried it and the night vision is very clear and the motion dection is amazing even if you go just under it still detects it . Its a fab camera and I definitely recommend, specially as aive had 2 tried break ins and now I can get a clear picture if it does happen again (which I hope it doesn’t!) .

Good Points:
* Priced Reasonably for a WiFi camera
* Quality can be really good, and can be set up relatively easy
* Simple enough to wirelessly view your camera or recordings
* Rotates on command
Bad Points:
* Wires won’t fit through an external wall without removing a quarter of a brick
* Can’t be moved accurately on the app – but can on PC
* Every time it loses power – when it comes back on, it moves to a default position
* Rain, flies, snow, wind, leaves – everything sets off the motion sensor
* WiFi signal receiver is terrible, needs to be 3m away to work
* Records motion activity in 14 second bursts, no longer.
* App and PC software is cheap and basic – definitely should have more control over the camera
All in all its good if you can put up with the negatives, and can find a way around removing bricks to get the wires through the wall.
Get a more expensive one if you’re needing a camera system to protect something cherished, I wouldn’t trust this one completely.
This is truly the best security camera I have ever owned! It was delivered quickly, it was extremely easy to set up and the image quality is incredible. All my previous cameras the image quality is poor and the connection is too but I can’t fault this one at all. I love the fact it moves along with motion!
I can’t get over how amazing this camera is, the image is so clear in both daytime and night mode. It was so easy to instal as the instructions were so clear to follow, I really like that at night it has a light that comes on when it detects movement. I think for the price of this camera you get so much the features are perfect the app is easy to use.
Great product arrived a day before it was due.
Was easy to set up with simple instructions to follow.
The camera is just what I was looking for.
The movability off the camera caputers every bit off my garden and with the smart tracking follows anything on my garden.
With an sd card inserted records everything so can view anything I need
This took a matter of minutes to set up unlike others we’ve had in the past. It is the easiest setup I’ve ever done and requires no awkward cables plugging into a system or router. It was pretty much plug and go!
With a free app to download to your phone, it’s extremely helpful to be able to control the camera movement that way. There’s clear sound from the camera to the device, motion tracking and the option to haven’t night mode recorded in full colour which is completely new to me!
It covers every angle we need at the front of the house, giving us full ability to check who’s there wherever we are. My minds back at ease knowing I have full control at all times, especially with how it’s going darker earlier and there’s always the chancers out to take advantage and cause trouble.
I’m looking already into their other products because I am sold
