ieGeek 5MP Outdoor Security Camera Wi-Fi, IP67 Waterproof, Home CCTV Surveillance Bullet IP Camera, 30m Night Vision, Remote Viewing, Smart Humanoid Detection and Push Alerts for Android/iOS/PC

There is little to dislike about this camera. It is well made, metal cased and records locally to SD card as well as over the local Wi-Fi. Picture quality is excellent, especially in darkness.

Bad stuff.
The manual – even the addenda on the web site – are poor translations into English. If you are new to this sort of kit you might have problems, especially with some of the advanced features.

It only really works with Internet Explorer – at least to set up – as it relies on Active X components, which are not supported in modern browsers, not even in Microsoft s’ Edge. So keep an old copy of IE to hand for setups.

Like a lots of this type of kit, the proof will be in how well it stands the test of time, but it looks a good buy so far.

Excellent camera with good product support, the picture quality is as good if not better than higher end systems both day and night, the audio is an extra bonus and the ability to adjust the sensitivity is a bonus, I didn’t want every passing vehicle picked up so with a small adjustment it avoids them now. I have an SD card in the camera and this works well for recording when alarm is triggered, I don’t use the all day function for planned recording times but useful if required. The ability to watch live is good for when I’m in the workshop, plus I can have a conversation through the audio with delivery drivers. All in all very pleased, good price and good quality camera that is easy to fit and set up. I will be buying another very soon.

I chose this doorbell with security camera, to add to another security camera that I have fitted to the front of house. Installation was very quick and no issues and no need for an electrician (assuming you have a socket near the front door). It really was as simple as drilling a hole in the frame, feed the wires through to the bell, (connect(in doesn’t matter which wire to which terminal) insert a micro SD card (not supplied) screw to frame and plug in. They even supply an angled fitting, which I used so that the bell very subtly points at the person pressing the bell. The wifi set up I found to be a pain free experience and I now have both security cameras linked to the Cloudedge App as detailed in the instructions. All in all it was up and running inside an hour.

As soon as I took the camera out of the box I was surprised just how well made it seems to be with its sturdy metal case and mount. I decided to use the RJ45 socket for a wired connection on my installation. After downloading the CamHiPro app on my phone, the installation and setup was very easy. The phone app lets you do everything you need to which is really good.
I invested in a quality micro SD card and spent a few days adjusting the video settings with the app. The recorded playback is smooth and the video quality is high. You can freeze the playback, zoom into the picture and read the detail like vehicle reg numbers. I have it set for both continual and alert recording. The app lets you list the recording files and any that were alert triggered are highlighted in red, great if you just want to see what was happening when you were out. I should be able to get over a month’s worth of recordings on the 128Gb card before the files are overwritten. Its easy to dowload a file you want to save onto your phone with the app.
It’s good that the app prompts you to change the camera default password. Don’t forget to set the camera time and timezone. If you need to reset or change from wired to wifi you might need to quit from the app and go back in.
I’m really pleased with this camera and already thinking about getting another.

Great camera with a very clear picture quality. Playback of recordings are great and easy to access. Alarm settings are a godsend which can be turned on and off as necessary especially when away from your home for several days.
A real bonus is the ability to have Audio both ways, what a great feature.
All in all, a great camera even though it is slightly expensive. I like these cameras so much I have 2 which cover the front and back of the house. Night vision is also quite brilliant.

I purchased one several days ago,(October 2020) unfortunately, I had a faulty one, contacted the service team replacement sent out straight away. This one worked great for approx 9 months then this week as soon as the warm weather came if fell apart. I contact the supplier who stated , take it up with Amazon as they charge you for the 2 year warranty? I am afraid that Amazon customers services were far from helpful.
Thankfully the igeek service department look at this and took control of the situation and sorted a replacement camera for me, absolutely excellent support from the igeek team

Having used the 2MP version of this camera to record hedgehog activity ay my home, I was keen to get this 5MP version, simply due to the increased resolution it has.

The improved resolution is definitely noticeable on the resulting stills and video – this 5MP camera captures a lot more detail than the old 2MP model. However, at night with IR, the difference in definition of any moving image (e.g. a person or animal), is not really noticeable – you may struggle to get any identifying features of a person’s face caught in the footage. This however, is a problem with any IR camera I have ever seen, so I don’t see it as a problem with this particular camera.

The colours in this 5MP camera’s footage are also a lot better than on the 2MP model.

The camera feels solid and well made, and is easy to mount in the angle you want it to sit. The Cam-Hipro app makes setup easy and you can make it capture stills and video on motion detection (sensitivity adjustable) to a MicroSD card (not included) plugged into the camera. It will also record continuously (in clips up to 900 seconds) which helps if you want to see footage leading up to, or after an alert. It can also send to a FTP server, up to 15 seconds of footage and 3 still photos very shortly after motion is detected – useful if the camera is stolen. There are a lot of other configurable settings, e.g. to set the area that motion is detected in to trigger an alert, so that you could for example, exclude a neighbour’s driveway.

One huge improvement is ‘humanoid detection’. When enabled, this means that an alert (Cam-Hipro notification, email or FTP recording) should only be generated if the camera detects movement that appears to be human. I played around with this and it does appear to work quite well, optionally framing the ‘person’ in a yellow box as it moves about. When enabled, it should not trigger if animals or other movement like swaying foliage or rain is seen (alerts from rain does occur a lot on the older 2MP model), but as I am using the camera for wildlife recordings, I don’t enable this feature, and generally don’t look at alerts if it’s been raining due to the continual alerts that that are generated without humanoid detection enabled.

The Windows HiP2P Client offers even more settings than the mobile app Cam-Hipro (e.g. to enable “Wide dynamic range” to improve on the visibility of light and dark areas of the footage/stills). It does feel a little ‘clunky’ and takes a little getting used to (it helps to be a ‘techie’ to get it working and use it). You can also set up to 4 different sized and positioned areas (with different sensitivities) to detect motion in, whereas on the mobile app, only one area can be set.

Due to having ONVIF & RTSP, the choice of software to use with this camera is vastly increased – I was easily able to get AnyCam to access the camera, and the resulting live image was even better than on the Windows HiP2P Client software as it showed the main stream instead if the sub-stream (I could not get HiP2P to show the sub stream live even though it is an option), but recorded video and images are all from the main stream.

So all in all, despite the few minor issues mentioned above, I think this is a superb camera well deserving 5 stars. I have attached some cropped images comparing the images during day and night of the old 2MP camera and this 5MP camera, a full daytime image , and a night video that first shows footage from the old 2MB camera, and then from this 5MB camera so the differences in image quality can be compared.

Great quality pictures and video for the price I paid for this device.
Comes with night vision which is clear and also has red lights on the camera at night which makes it visible and could be used as a deterrent.
Good size and looks nice on the wall, still need to tidy up the wires with some ties.
Quick installation followed the guide, the only issue I had was that I had to enable a DHCP connection in my router settings which I have provided a photo of, but that only took a minute to log in as the admin router and enable that, for people who aren’t as tech savvy I am sure there will be a family member or you could contact your network provider whom will assist you.
Packaging was secure and very good.
I had an older model camera which had a lower resolution, so the upgrade is a lot better with this new camera.

This camera is stunning – far better detail and higher definition than earlier iegeek 1080P cameras and far wider viewing angle.

For the novice out of the box wanting wifi camera to work….
If you follow basic instructions, download app to your phone (say Camhipro) use ethernet cable connected to router and set up wifi as instructed. (I have my cameras on wifi not ethernet, the reason being I don’t want to drill ‘big’ holes in walls to feed ethernet cables through to router). I actually installed ABS boxes on exterior of house to contain all cables everything except 12V power cable.

Firstly, the app…There’s a few settings you might want to alter and use, alarm recording etc.
You can alter ‘Humanoid alarm’ to ‘frame human form’ if you want see frame of AI in app recording and what has caused ‘human’ trigger. It’s not infallible – the neighbours fat black cat sometimes triggers it at night…haha!
You can also use this ‘Humanoid alarm’ function with ‘motion detection’ if desired and link the two together and define area trigger. I personally don’t use this, and I’ll explain why further down.
I actually cranked the bit rate up to 6144 and frame rate to 25Fps in video settings. Because it is VBR (variable bit rate) and Fps is maximum frame rate, the camera decides what is best in firmware…i.e these are not fixed, so will vary regardless…some people think the camera is ‘fixed’ to this bitrate and Fps – not true…I also did this because video definition is higher and much clearer than default video settings..
The video replay will ‘stutter’ on playback in app after trigger (if you look at little symbol of SD icon on ‘Camera’ you can access all triggers and view them). Consider this a ‘preview’ of what caused motion trigger…it seems that when camera triggers off movement, the frames ‘freeze’ on trigger and causes ‘stuttering’. I see others complaining about this…however, if you ‘download’ triggered video to app, SD ‘symbol’ ‘download’ this puts video in app folder. Then return and go into app folder icon on main ‘Camera screen’. Hit the blue ‘download symbol’ at right hand side of saved video in app…and then hit ‘determine’ – it means ‘yes’…another Chinese term haha! This converts and puts video in your phone. Now, replay video that’s in your phone memory…hey presto…no ‘stuttering’… and a smooth video. I’ve tried this on my Samsung S9+ – I just look in ‘gallery’ and recent videos.

I also set the camera up for email as an experiment…a bit fiddly, particularly as I use btemail…took me a while to find the server port and settings – SMTPs name – mail.btinternet.com, server port – 465, safe link – SSL, authentication on.
I actually tried this on another hotmail address I have, these are the settings, SMTP name – smpt.live.com, server port – 587, safe link – STARTTLS, authentication on.
Make sure you put the ‘receive alarm push’ on in settings ‘alarm management and notification’ setting – this will allow camera to transmit email trigger within seconds…
This option sends ‘snapshots’ via email of what caused trigger. You can set how many pictures to be sent…’alarm management and notification’ tab in app, right at bottom ‘number of pictures taken’ – you can set this between 1 and 3.
It works pretty good…

Now, there is another way of accessing more ‘advanced settings’ not available on app but with your own PC on same network in your house.
This is how you do it…In the app, if you scroll down in ‘camera settings’ and ‘Device information’ it gives an ‘IP address of camera’.
Note this, and type the address in search web bar…(I use Chrome).
This camera has a web interface…it should come up with login screen. The default is login name ‘admin’, password ‘admin’ (unless you’ve changed password previously – which I highly recommend…).
You won’t see any live stream off camera – the reason being (in my case), Microsoft/Chrome block flash player automatically as a security risk, and this uses flash player (if you re-enable it – you will see live feed from camera). You can also enter ‘settings’ tab, it’ll possibly ask login name and password again. There’s a plethora of settings…
I actually changed the ‘H265’ default video setting to ‘H264 High profile’ (you cannot access this in app on phone). I’m not a fan of ‘H265’ encoded videos, although it might be great, a lot of older devices don’t support ‘H265’ – it is a new compression method. I actually see no difference in video quality. I also saw some guy complaining that he could not upload ‘H265’ videos to youtube (they don’t support it) on questions about this camera when I looked last night…
There is another reason, I changed the video to ‘H264 High profile’ below…

I’ve actually got these cameras working on ‘Contacam’ software – I have two, monitoring back garden and front garden. They use RTSP, so I can access them with IP address and RTSP port 554.
I love this software on PC – purely my own preference. I can define in intrinsic detail area of what triggers cameras on motion detection…mask out tree branch movements etc.
So, I use a standalone fanless PC in house triggering and recording separately at night time using Contacam.
I primarily use the cameras to monitor wildlife in my front and back garden with PC and Contacam software.
However, I found that Contacam drops camera feed if video setting is ‘H265’. When cameras are set to ‘H264 High profile’ they work perfect. That’s why I altered it.

The HiP2P Client software they recommend, I ditched. It worked great on microsoft windows until I changed passwords on cameras. Then I couldn’t login (even with new password I set on cameras)…couldn’t be bothered investigating why…if I can’t login with a secure password on P2P, I always think bin it.

This is funny as well, the 5MP camera I installed in back garden…the wifi router signal would not reach it. So, I bought a relatively cheap extender from Amazon…https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NIUHAG6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I thought, no chance – it can’t cope with data bandwidth (some people talk absolute rubbish on internet and condemned this when I looked), anyway after lots of fiddling about with where to put it, it works perfect!

So, the pros…
Excellent high definition footage (particularly on my Contacam software).
Very good notification on app ‘human’ motion trigger – it triggers correctly – it’s captured every dog walker that’s walked past my house.
Superb night footage and live high definition video ‘feed’ – possibly the best camera I’ve had for this…

The cons…
HiP2P client is not good enough – I never resolved the login stuff.
Any video I’ve captured never runs greater than 12.5 Fps…which is OK for viewing? Why? I even accessed SD card thinking it was my network…nope! The same on recordings…on app saved footage and Contacam saved footage.
Should give an option in video menu on app to change format of video recording from H265 to H264.
The camera sometimes triggers in app on big fat neighbours black cat…it thinks it is a human…haha!
The Camhipro app always ‘stutters’ on video replay…that needs looking at by iegeek…I shouldn’t have to go through complex steps to prove footage is ok on phone on phone memory…

So, my opinion? Yep, absolutely best wifi cameras I have installed. Great to look at wildlife in more detail than old 1080P cameras…me and partner laugh at some of what these cameras capture when we review in morning…
I’ve attached a couple of videos (I used Contacam to record) and pics of installation …enjoy, I’m no David Bailey, but at least you can see the box I put all ‘redundant’ cables in one pic of camera on front garden. I turned off ‘OSD’ settings for time and date in web interface, because I prefer the Contacam time and date settings on motion detection recordings on videos…

I have 4 of these cameras. For the money the quality is good. I don’t have other cameras to compare to so can only see the night vision is good as is the day time. The brackets can be adjusted in any position you can think of, although some of mine do have a little movement which no matter how much I tighten won’t go away, but it does not impact the picture, no shaking issues.

The software is not easy to use, especially the desktop. On the good side, the support has been excellent, I’ve had quite the back and forwards with them trying to understand how to get certain features working on the software. Iphone appears to zoom in more than Android which is a little odd. Once you get to understand the software it’s all good.

I did have one camera bracket that snapped while adjusting it, support was excellent, no quibble, they immediately replaced it. If they could refine their software and make it more user friendly rather than having to communicate extensively with support then I could have rated it higher.

i already have two IG62 cameras and was happy.
Received IG90 (this cam). Setup was very easy. Just connected power lead.
Then phone connected to IP camera’s wifi. And did basic setup and found device IP address.
Motion detect is better to set up via application, not web.
Thru web i changed username and password and Ip address.

Can choose video formats. (Earlier version had only h.264)

This camera also have built in Mic and Speaker!
Have also built in Smart Humanoid Recognition, so don.t need application for that.
Already can see it even on VLC player for example.

One minus, maybe. Still can.t set up emails via starttls. But, who wants pile of emails from camera?

Been struggling with recorded videos outside application, all time playing almost twice faster. But in app works fine.

So quit happy as it supports rtsp and ONVIF.

Plus/minus, just works.

I purchased this camera as replacement of another brand as I wanted the capability to use a computer software for the monitoring…
The camera and picture, so far is great, with the limitation of it… No focus.. no rotation…etc. but OK, I was expecting this. My issue is with the worst software package that you can use to configure and monitor your recording and setup..etc. The software is “P2P IP Camera”…
This is the sort of software that used to be developed in the 90s where you have tons of bugs… crashing… continuous issues… from crashes, not saving your configurations and having to redo things every time you load it… to unable to use simple functionalities.. like adding users… adding cameras… etc.
In summary, the camera is good… PC software is awful, useless…

I purchased an iegeek camera early last year and it has proved to be very reliable and user friendly so when I saw this model on offer I decided to have an additional unit.
All I can say is Wow! This unit seems to be an upgrade on the previous ones, the image is clearer the night vision is better and it’s up 67 rather than 66 so impressed that I’ve just ordered another one and a mate saw mine and ordered two !

Minor issue in that I couldn’t work out how to get it to work with Alexa but an email to the service dept got a reply with detailed instructions with in 24 hours and to be fair I emailed Sunday morning,seems there’s a different app needed so I will have a go at setting that up later.
I found the CamHipro app is far superior to the CamHi app more user friendly

.

This is a great camera. The picture quality both daytime and nightime is excellent.

Fitting is a bit tricky as you either have all the cables (which appear weather proof) on the outside and only drill a small hole through (approx. 1.5cm) or it is more like a 3.5cm hole to get all the cables through the wall. If on the outside you would probably want to box them in as these include the reset and network and power cables! If the cables weren’t all the same length you could have probaby gotten away with a smaller hole (manufacturer take note).

Apps works well on both Android and Apple phones. Easy to install, set up and use.

Wifi worked well.

The recording is only approx 24hours to the SD card if recording permanently so use the motion detection to increase the time saved. There is slight ability to chose set motion area but it is quite limited and there are a lot of things which set it off at night including rain. I would like to have the option of more than 15 second default recording but it does enough and also takes up to 3 pictures.

The sensitivity setting is tricky to get right as it’s quite all or nothing so we have it set quite low. We also turn off notifications at nightime as this is constantly going off (but you could adjust for daylight and darkness if you had the time and energy to change it manually every day).

You can talk and hear through this system and works well on the wifi if in the office and not at home.

I did not like the location of the wifi antenna which means I could not seem to adjust the unit to point LEFT. The unit is very positionable and rotational but the antenna on the side (instead of perhaps the top) means I could not turn it the other way (without the small hole being on top and potential water leak path); so I had to face it to the right. This should be considered when positioning your camera. I have one outside at the front and one in the conservatory.

Great camera, hope it lasts and this review helps your decision making.

Fitted a pair of these for my Sister in law over the weekend. Could not have been easier. The CamHi app needs a bit of an update in terms of modernisation and ease of use but it works perfectly.

I have the older version of this camera myself which is still 1080p and has proven invaluable for proving couriers either not delivering and on one occasion my neighbours car being rifled through.

I have got mine mounted in a soffet which is pretty high but you can see a hell of a lot of detail still. This version however is slightly improved.

I ordered a Wi-Fi camera and I expected to find that it only required the power connection. As it is shown in the description. However that is not correct there are 3 connectors coming from the rear of the mounting bracket which will require at least a 2 cm hole in the wall to install. This is not shown in the description. However after discussion with the company they have provided a work around for this issue using an external Junction Box. Additionally having made a temporary installation to set up and test the camera I have found it to be very effective and relatively easy to set up. The camera can be run either on Wi-Fi or direct on an Ethernet connection to your Hub / Router. The night vision quality look fine to me and the sound functions work ok. Additionally it works ok on android and seems to be ok Google chrome. It looks like it will require some time and effort to properly set up the camera functionally to make best use of its many features but I think it will be worth the time and effort in the end.
I have upgraded my review to 4 stars because of the excellent response I have received from IeGeek in resolving my initial problems. Well done to them.

This was an upgrade to my 10 year old 720p camera.

Whenever I had a gripe with putting it up i.e. difficult base, lack of water proof coverings for the cable ends, I had to keep reminding myself it only cost me 52! That is cheap!

So even though it took a lot longer to install than I thought it would, the day picture quality is fantastic.

The night vision is good, only if its NOT raining. Rain generates a lot of noise, streaks in all directions.

A 128gb SD card, which is the max it can take, on my settings records for just over 8 days. At some point I may try to see if a 256gb card works in it.

Bottom line its a cheap camera that works. The mobile app is fantastic, the pc software not so good, but you can access the camera from a browser.

Nothing to dislike .We are extremely happy with the camera .We had vandalism to our car in July but with no evidence as to who done it we decided to install a cctv camera. Our car was vandalised again last week and were confident we would have the footage of it. And thats exactly what we found. It was at 12.30 at night and the infra red feature of the camera gave a clear picture of the culprit . The police commented that it was very good quality imagery for night images. The sound feature is very clear as you can hear the key scrapping along the car ! We recognised who it was too. He’ll be charged with the crime.. So much so we have ordered the same camera again for the other side of the house. Very easy to set up and alerts come in to my phone and I’ve installed the app on my PC too. No hesitation in recommending this camera. UPDATE I am now adding to my review to say I have now bought a 3rd camera !!! for the back of the house. I checked before installing the 2nd camera that the WIFI would work at the back of the house as the router is at the front of the house.. It does with no problem at all . So easy to add a camera to the app. I have the app on my PC too and it found the new camera automatically !! Highly recommend the camera .

I was pleasantly surprised by this camera. Very easy to set up and the app is very easy to use. Picture quality is very good and you can zoom quite a lot on your phone without loosing detail. I bought it to monitor pets and it does thr job perfect. I have it mounted on a wall bracket upside down, but the app let’s you rotate the image 180 degrees so it’s perfect. If anything it would be good to have an extension for this to increase the length of the power cable but this is only a minor point. Overall I really do recommend this camera and would buy another.

I have tried several indoor and outdoor cameras and I have to say this is the best one by far! Firstly, there are no ridiculous monthly charges to store your videos. You can store them in a micro SD card (which you have to buy separately). It took me less than 5 minutes to set up the camera. After that, it is just a matter of setting it up to do what you want, and you can do just about anything! You can set up the areas you want to detect movement on, you can detect sound to give you an alarm. You can set up to sound a siren (or any other sound you want) upon triggering an alarm. It can send you an alert to your phone and/or an email. It will save the videos/photos unto your SD card.Basically, it can just about do whatever you want it to. The picture and sound quality are superb! It feels sturdy and well made. Even my electrician was impressed. I honestly would pay hundreds for this camera and you don’t have to. For under 60 , you have a great outdoor camera with all the settings you could wish for and no horrid monthly charges. I cannot recommend this enough.

Really great camera, easy to setup, connect to WiFi, scan with camera or type in code. Really great that you’re able to turn the night vision off so it can see through a window not very clearly but much clearer than using night vision and reducing glare, Also fantastic that it can utilise an auto tracker and your able to go back in time and record what has happened in a hard format.
Really simple to use and very effective for my use.
Highly recommend, great price and good quality.

My only criticism is when you allow others to utilise the functionality of the camera they’re not able to use the full features this should be an option.

Well I feel this is good price for this camera, 37 and it works a treat. I bought it because I wanted to monitor the cat (see if he was up to no good). I went over a load of reviews on this camera (and similar) and they seemed to be okay. However, this had sold over 1800 items with a 5* average. Turned up the day after I ordered it from Amazon. Very easy to set up and link to my phone through the app. There is a delay of about half a second viewing the picture — but it would be petty to complain about that! I have only tested it during the day, but the reviews indicate that night vision is okay. The color picture is superb. I can speak to my cat (which is funny as he comes up close the camera and his face look massive!) The sound is brilliant and seem to work like a walkie talke . The move functions work great. It comes with a load of fixings for ceiling attachment. The usb cable /power supply is a good length. Nice bit of kit. Probably going to get another.

Good quality camera, easy to install (5mins) with no extra expense, i rent an office space in a business centre, where i store my inventory, and for peace of mind i have been looking to install cctv in the office, which would have cost me couple of 100 pounds now cost me next to nothing, i can control everything from my phone plus has mic for 2 way communications, and provided me 360 view of office.

Does require memory card for storage or the option of registering with cloud for online storage.

Has many cool features and can’t go wrong with price and service.

This is our 9th IEGEEK camera – we have bought them for our elderly parents, for our own home security and to keep an eye on our dog when we are away from the house for any length of time.
We prefer the motion sensor ones – which this one is. It is really easy to set up and connect to WiFi and offers the greatest scope for the camera and covers the whole room when motion is detected.. The sensor is excellent and sends notifications to our phones when triggered. It can be over sensitive at times, being triggered by changes in day light or a fly crossing the screen, but the sensitivity level can be altered. All in all a great camera for an affordable price. I just wish that the option of the Cloud was a more reasonable cost as some of the features don’t work unless you purchase it.

Camera arrived next day as expected from Amazon prime. This is a much better looking device that other cameras at this price range. It really does look very sleek. Setting up took only a few minutes. Download the app as shown in the picture then follow the instructions. It is really very simple and your phone even generates a QR code to update the camera. All very high tech! Once up an running the camera is very easy to use. For us, we will use it for monitoring our cats and you can see one cat very clearly in the video. This camera is unique in the range as it includes motion tracking and will follow movement around the room. The video captures are available even when the camera is offline via the cloud service. Yet another great product from iegeek. No complaints so far at this price point.

I have been overwhelmed with the ease of use and the quality of this product. Within 5 mins of opening the box, I had the camera setup and connected to the YI IOT app. The app is easy to use and allows complete control of the camera, allowing you to move the camera up, down, left right aswell as hearing the audio from the camera aswell as speaking through the speaker of the camera (although I will now use this feature as I’m using it to monitor my car, although it would be useful for monitoring pets etc).

A good feature of the app is the automatic function of the camera, where the camera will track movement and automatically follow the object. The camera also has motion detection where you can be notified through the app of any motion that has been detected.

A cloud service is also available for the camera in which recording are saved to the cloud, and can be reviewed afterwards but I’m not currently using this feature but is good for future use.

In general the product is a well build and reasonably priced camera for a wide range of purposes with clear images and built in night vision, with software for Windows, Android or iOS that is feature rich and easy to use. Would recommend 🙂

Great value for money, with really impressive performance.

Pros include:
– Able turn off night vision
– 360 view, pan and tilt function
– SD storage support
– Usb 2.0 powered (can switch out for longer lead)
– Excellent picture quality, even behind a window pane
– Robust Software App (although haven’t managed to get it working on Windows yet)
– Two way intercom facility

Cons are:
– Sneaky card with package offering free SD Card for 5* review
– Large form factor
– Annoying lag (circa 5 seconds) when streaming/reviewing video over mobile data – hoping this can be fixed with a S/W update

All in all, is an excellent camera, and very highly recommended.

I have been wanting a baby monitor for months. My son is now 7 months and I needed this so I could shower and make sure he wasnt going to wake up and climb off the bed. It had to be a clear screen and no delay. I have looked at all the baby monitors with video and their price tags…and decided to give this one a go. I was really impressed. I dont record anything but stream to my phone and it’s great. A millisecond lag if any and absolutely perfect for what I needed without the ‘new baby price tag’. I would definitely recommend this item to new parents. I haven’t signed upto the subscription but have no need to at the moment. I love that I can move the camera around if he is in different areas of the bed and it’s pretty responsive. Seriously, for what I paid its Bob on!

The camera arrived quick and was easy to set up, I had trouble finding the desktop application as the link in the instructions did not work but I managed to find the software on Google, unfortunately Amazon won’t let me post the link . If you want the app on android just find it on the Google Play Store. I can’t comment on Apple as I don’t use that.
Both the software on PC and on Android works well. When setting up you have to create an account so looks like the camera can be used remotely via the Internet anywhere you are located which is good. The camera has some good features, you can use the movement controls to move the camera up, down, left and right and it does respond very well. I am using the camera for my baby when she is born, the only issue with that is where to put it so currently it’s placed on a unit. There is no clip to attach to the Cot like another camera I saw but included there is screws to place it on a wall.
I tested the night vision and this works great! can see very clearly and it has 3 options for quality SD, HD and Auto which will change depending on the speed of the connection. I found in SD mode using wireless you get live footage with no delay but in HD you may get about 1-2 second delays. I noticed it shows the connection speed at the bottom right of the screen which shows in KB/s. In SD mode It shows at around 51KB/s and HD it can hover around 81KB/s , it would be good if there was a option to increase the connection speed to the camera being that my wireless and Internet can handle a lot more and this would surely stop any lag issues on HD mode, for this reason I took off one star but it’s hardly a big issue a few seconds lag. I can’t comment on using a ethernet cable as I haven’t tried that. But I am happy with the quality even in SD mode.
I haven’t used a SD card or the cloud services, though don’t see I would have any issues with that.
The app is very clean and works great, you can select a pin for security and enable motion tracking, turn on and off status light and night vision IR light. Some features are disabled unless you buy the cloud service. With that it activates some extra features like human detection and abnormal sound detection which would be used to detect for example your baby crying and notify you. For me I just want to use it so I can see my baby at all times in live mode when she is sleeping.
The camera does make a little sound when moving the camera using the arrow controls but you expect that, I would not say it’s very loud though. The beeping when setting up the camera is very loud, this happens when the camera does not have a connection to the router, but it’s only when first setting up. I haven’t had any issues with the camera losing connection upstairs from my router. Once connected it’s stable.
The camera has a option for 2 way conversation, I have tried this and it seems to work fine.
The build quality of the camera is good and it looks and works great. I can imagine this being very good for security and I might consider getting another in the future. The app allows you to connect to more than one camera and you can just select which one to view and to think security cameras with night version used to be so expensive and most were not even wireless.
Overall I’m very happy with the camera.
