ieGeek Wireless Security Camera Outdoor, Rechargeable Battery CCTV Camera, 1080P WiFi Home Surveillance IP Wireless Camera, PIR Motion Detection, Night Vision, 2-Way Audio, Cloud & SD Card Storage

Delivery was so quick! Easy to connect with app and install! Quite happy with it so far and would recommend it to anyone.

Night vision, can set alarm areas and times you want it active, light & if you want, siren (not amazingly loud, but it’s still a deterrent!) Also intercom function. Picture quality is great on standard, really really good on HD. Battery will drain if it’s being constantly activated but for odd triggers, lasts weeks. Got the solar panel with it, but it’s not that great in winter & it’s on a south facing wall, unobstructed from daylight. If I remember, I’ll update in summer about it’s efficacy.

All in all though, seriously good and well priced for what you get!

The camera is truly wireless. 3 screws for the camera, 3 screws for the solar panel. The power wire from solar panel is a very good length. Live view is possible but does drain the battery if used constantly (not horrendously fast though). We’ve had it up for around 6-8 weeks now before writing this review. We get notifications to 5 devices when motion is detected and with a microSD card in the camera can view the history of motion alerts although it doesn’t record 24/7 only the motion alerts. Quality is clear as can be seen from screenshots day and night. Sound quality is surprisingly good too as is the siren and remote spotlight function. My only suggestion would be if it could work with the HiCam app and thus, the PC program as my other iGeek cameras do. The battery life has dipped to around 40% at its lowest point but even with nearly 2 weeks of constant rain and cloud it’s still charged upto around 90% each day and the solar panel only gets ‘direct’ sunlight around 50% of the daytime. Really can’t fault this camera. The app is free to use and view motion alerts if you have an SD card in the camera. Looks nice too! Does the job very well for the price I don’t think you’ll get better for the price.

Great night vision. If you are looking for a cctv with nice night vision, I will recommend it.

Seems OK so far. Doesn’t always pick up on motion. Good picture quality though.

Going to a honest review.
In short I returned these!

Great Night vision both IR or in colour. Built in spot light good. Audio and image quality great. Sound has a 1s – 2s delay normal for wireless.
Set up very easy although the manual doesn’t explain some of the apps features
However,
Needs either SD card or Cloud storage at additional cost. However if on a Family network so both myself and my wife can view on our devices. Only the admin can view the history on Cloud storage. The seconded person on the account can only view Still images or stuff stored to Sd card/cloud
I would advise the developers to modify the app to allow all users access to view stored footage. (NOT a issue if your a solo user)
As with it being motion activated this is also Hit or Miss at times. A delay in activation for recording means missing some of the footage No option for continuous motion recording untill motion stops like some other brands.
Where this has some good positives there are some features missing or lacking. It’s worth noting this isn’t a 24/7 recording DVR set up.

Purchase both Cams and doorbell and both returned. Wasnt fit for my requirments Sadly.

Bought two of these to view front door and side patio. Quite easy to set-up and add to ieGeek app running on Android. A lot of options to get your head around once set-up, but with some trial and error I think I have come up with a set of workable options.
Although I used the solar panels for initial charge I have not set these up permanently as I wanted to see what sort of battery life the cameras had. I’ve had a relatively small number of alerts (e.g. me walking out of front door at night and forgetting to turn off motion detection beforehand!), battery is now down to 48% after 5 weeks.
Initial responses from Customer Support were poor in respect of an issue I had getting Cloud backup set-up but they eventually came back and thereafter responses have been pretty fast and helpful.

EDIT: Have had several emails from ieGeek support since writing the above – full explanation of cloud service setup provided and a load of useful hints re battery consumption. Have now ordered two more of the same camera!

These little cameras are excellent as security cameras mounted on the outside of your house, but be aware of the possible snags. The cameras seem to be sold by a variety of Chinese manufacturers and when my first camera stopped working (it kept making a “cuckoo” sound no matter what I did to it) the warranty had expired so I threw it away, and I don’t think the vendor was still in business. The pros: long battery life, quite easy to install and configure provided you follow the instructions and connect it to a 2.5g network rather than a 5g network. I monitor the cameras from my iPhone and iPad – you can’t currently monitor from a computer though there is said to be a complicated workaround to let you do so. The cons: take great care inserting your SD card because sometimes it just drops into the camera, where you can’t rescue it, and you have to buy another SD card. It doesn’t always record an approaching person unless you configure it carefully – you might see a recording of the back of a person’s head at your front door but to see them approaching you might do as I did and install another camera further from the door as well. Recordings are made on the SD card with an option to subscribe to a Cloud service. You can subscribe for a month at a time or a year, and the disadvantage of subscribing for a long period is that if the camera fails, you can’t yourself transfer the cloud subscription to one of your other cameras. Fortunately the seller was kind enough to arrange to transfer the subscription when I asked, but said they don’t normally do this. I suppose the other shortcoming is the need to climb a ladder and unscrew the camera and take it inside when it requires recharging (after about 3 months), and the recharging takes a long time, maybe 8 hours. If you mount it within easy reach, thieves might take it. You can monitor the cameras remotely through your smartphone and, for instance, see if Amazon have left a package on your front step that you need to go home to rescue. Very glad to have these cameras, which I hope will deter burglars as they have done so far.

We felt like we needed a camera to keep an eye on our house after some questionable characters started visiting the neighbours. We chose white so the camera was visible. The camera set up was simple and fixing it to a spot outside the house was simple.
The picture quality was a lot better than we expected and the sound was clear too.
The motion sensitivity was set high and there were about 20 pings and close up screenshots of my ugly mug as I installed the camera but this was easily resolved by adjusting it on the app. We found that ‘6’ was perfect for our needs.
Still tinkering with it but overall very happy and will be buying some more cameras soon.

We live in a fairly safe, rural area but break-ins have risen over the last couple of years. We decided we needed a security camera to provide peace of mind. The thing is, my hubby is an IT guy and usually sorts out all these techie gizmo’s, so he wasn’t too happy about me ordering this without his approval…
Anyway, he likes it. We both think it’s great. We’ve ordered a 128gb SD card from Amazon for 15.99 (we’re currently using a much smaller one just so we both have access to the ‘history’ on the camera).
The picture is fab, it connected to our router easily and it covers our whole garden, the picture quality is superb..!. The intercom system is very handy too. We have the app set up on both phones (1 x Apple & 1 x Samsung) which means we’ll both get motion detection alerts whilst away from home and it’s great that you can differentiate over human & other motion alerts. We’re looking forward to checking out the night vision as we get lots pf wild life in the garden & this should negate the need for our existing trail cam.
We’re so impressed we’re thinking of ordering another for the front of the property instead of a camera doorbell.
This is a really good quality piece of equipment, which is easy to set up with comprehensive instructions & excellent value for money. We’d highly recommend and it’s definitely given us the added security & peace of mind we were after.
Edit: We’re so impressed with this camera we purchased a 2nd one today for the front of our property.

I have 2 of the battery / solar cameras, and use them in conjunction with 3 of the hard-wire powered ieGeek cameras. Because they are using PIR motion detection they are less susceptible to unwanted activation from insects at night (who are drawn to the IR illuminators on the permanently active hard-wire). Mounting height is more critical with the PIR, I initially tried one of the cameras near the top of the house, but found results far more successful 2.5-3M high. I have had one of the cameras since March, and the battery lasts approximately 6 weeks without charging. One thing to note, if you already have the hard-wire cameras, they use CamHipro software for viewing, whereas these ones use CloudEdge software, both apps are good though. Very simple and intuitive to set up, and the snapshot view of the activations means you can see at a glance what has caused the activation without needing to review the footage.

I was delighted to find this item as I didn’t want to have to go through a wall with cables and there was no convenient power outlet anyway.

You download the app and it is painting by numbers after that. I was pleasantly surprised with the picture quality that night and by day (pictured).

Early days to report on battery life but so far I like the peace of mind of the deterrent and having everything at your fingertips via the app is so convenient.

VERY happy with this item and I have no hesitation in recommending it.

I have been most impressed with the after sales service with ieGeek as they have been very fair and helpfull to me . they sent me sevaral emails and video links to try to help me I spent sevarl hours on the phone to Virgin about their Hub 3 and eventually I got them to split the signals and then I pressed the reset on the rear of the hub and it connected to the camera . I have now installed the camera and am in the process of purchasing the solar panel for it.
I can well recomend this produc

I ordered this instead of a ring doorbell as I was worried about it being to accessible to idiots who would probably just rip it off the wall. I imagine it works the same. It send alerts to phone via the app when motion is detected but even when I’m in the house, I don’t get an alert until someone’s about to ring the doorbell. I was hoping it would at least alert me when they got near my car which was the main reason for purchase as we have seen an increase in car thefts in the area.

Everything else overall is good- easy to mount, clear night vision with good picture quality, easy to use app and decent battery life. Just a shame that even with motion detection at the highest the time it takes to send alert to my phone is more delayed than I’d hoped.

We are delighted with this – it’s an amazing camera for the price. Very easy to install and the phone app is great. The picture quality is much better than we expected and the intercom function was very handy when positioning the camera – hubby was moving it around once it was secured to the wall and I was looking at the picture on my phone indoors and ‘advising’ 😉
We have it at the end of our garden so the wifi antennae are an added bonus for picking up the wifi in the house.

Camera was easy to install, took around 20mins from the point of walking outside to back through the door with up on the exterior of the house

So far the battery is at 85% with 2weeks usage, if the run rate continues at this rate then it’ll be around the 3month mark when it needs a recharge (I tend to check the camera a lot via the app for notifications which will affect the battery life)

The WiFi signal has been holding up well, roughly 85-90% most of the time. Occasionally it will take a few more seconds to load but nothing to complain about and overall performs really well and displays the images quickly
The app is fairly straight forward and allows you to screen shot as well as record live video if you wish

The camera will only record human activity as this helps the battery to last longer. Having said that It would be really beneficial if there was an option to record vehicles as well – I live at the end of a road which is used as a turning bay and cars tend to get close to our driveway so would like the option to record in case of damage to our vehicles
There are the odd occasions where it misses people and doesn’t record them but overall it picks up most passerby’s

For the price, ease of installation and quality of the product I’d definitely recommend. If you prefer a camera to record 24/7 then wireless isn’t for you as it would kill the battery in no time. But for the rest who want some added peace of mind you can’t go wrong

These cameras are very good. I bought two.

Picture during the day and night is very clear, so far battery life is still at 100% after just a week – time will tell how long this will last, but I hope to obtain the solar panels to keep these charged up.

The wifi signal is picked up easily and is also at 100%.

Ability to switch between standard definition and high definition (though why anyone would want SD?).

I like the APP to control some features on this camera and the dual antennae definitely help with the wifi signal.

I have to say, this is my first experience with CCTV cameras and it has been a very easy process to set up and install so far.

I forgot to buy the microSD card so had to come back to Amazon for those – they are required for the camera set up!

Very good and very happy so far!

First impressions when the iegeek’s ZS-GX2S Battery Powered Camera arrived was excellent. It was well packaged and unpacking revealed a high quality piece of kit. The battery needs to be charged for 15 hours and a micro SD card needs inserting before turning on. The CloudEdge Android app installation was straight forward but I had difficulty getting the app to add the camera through the network. Strangely even thought the app reported that it couldn’t connect to the camera, when the phone was restarted the camera suddenly appeared in the app and worked fine. The picture quality is very good both inside and outside, so too is the wide angle lens. Night vision is also good in black and white. If you want to access the camera from anywhere you will need to sign up to the cloud service which currently costs $30 for a rolling 3 day package for a year, we’ll worth it to have peace of mind whilst away. The camera will store the video on the memory card when triggered by someone approaching. There are a few options in the app that are not included in the user manual which takes a bit of sorting out.
It will be interesting to see how long the battery lasts for. It states upto 180 days but will have to wait to see how long it lasts in reality with the setting that have set up. The camera has been installed next to an upstairs window so when the battery is low it can be easily charged through the window. It was a little tricky getting it to point in the direction you wanted, mainly because when you tighten the nut that holds it in position the whole camera turns. A drop of silicon on the nut did help here. Another option is using a solar panel which is an optional extra.
The only things that could have been better for me would be for the PIR to detect people further away when walking up the drive and an option to run 24/7 when plugged into the mains.
I am very pleased with the purchase and considering purchasing more to site around the building. I would certainly recommend this product.

Bought this camera to remotely view a property in Spain. I am currently testing in the UK.

So far – the install was easy connected to the WiFi straight away. I bought a 128gb Micro SD card which you can format once installed in the camera. The battery is still showing full after 7 days albeit I intend to connect a solar panel to keep it charged.

Initially Marked it down a star as the motion detection isn’t that brilliant. If it works well I will get more cameras.

Update 7 months later
As you can see the battery is still at full charge. Always able to access. Other cameras are closer and have already picked out an intruder! Not sure the 2 way audio is up to much

I was dubious about buying a battery camera, but with the reviews I had seen the ieGeek looked just what I needed. The instructions are clear and simple, so once I’d charged it for the 15 hours for first charge I started the install. Absolutely no issues at all, got camera up and running in about 15 minutes. I then placed it outside where I thought Would give the best coverage of the rear garden, and used my phone to do the final adjustments when I was up the ladder. The install could not have been easier.
The picture quality is excellent, the app and options are simple to use but just what’s needed. Best of all….. my wife now feels safer in the house…… job done, Thanks ieGeek.

Having used this camera for a couple of weeks now I can’t find fault with it. This is an upgrade from a smaller ieGeek camera and it certainly feels like it. The PIR motion detection is a great feature as it’s no longer triggered by flying insects etc which was a problem on my previous camera. The images are crisp and clear and a real high quality. The camera arrived quickly, very well packaged with easy instructions on how to use and how to install. It feels robust and for it’s size packs a punch with features. The app is very user friendly and I like being able to setup a timer for when I want to record. The battery life in this is amazing, two weeks use and it’s hardly used any of it’s capacity, this is a definite bonus especially if the camera is mounted high enough you need ladders to reach it!
Overall I would highly recommend purchasing this camera. For the money you are getting a high quality, robust camera with an easy to use app which is simple to connect to your home WiFi and also from a company with fantastic customer service. It’s a no brainer.

I am now able to thoroughly recommend this product due to the recent App updates. Previously I was critical of the App which let the product down, but now it is working perfectly due to the updates. The camera is a real quality piece of technology, that was never in question and picture playback is fantastic. Setting it up with the App and WiFi was really easy and installing it outside is simply a 3 screw fixing bracket. WiFi signal outside my house is a superb 90% (approx 20 foot away from router) and the battery expectation as per the item description looks accurate. The unit up on the outside of my house looks excellent and is really a visible deterrent too. When setting it up make sure you play around with the units 2 antennae angles as I found that a slight adjustment with them improved the Wifi signal from 85% to 90%
As the item works entirely as described I would like to add here that I found the Customer Service/Support outstanding. I originally had issues with the functionality of the unit due to issues with the App prior to recent updates as indicated above, however, the email support/communication was never lacking and it is probably this that should give you confidence to buy this product. My Customer Support operative was called Michi and although they are based in China their responses and excellent communication skills was very welcomed, thank you Michi. If I could rate the product design, functionality, App and Customer Service any higher I would. Buy with 100% confidence!

Fascinating system and a great price. Easy to setup. The best part is, you don`t have to deal with many different unknown options to be able to get the best view. Camera view setup is just perfect. Battery life seems to be pretty accurate and still up above 90% after a week of playing with it more than I should to test. Night vision works very well comparing to previous model. WiFi works fine in my 3 bed terrace house UK. I have brick walls and found I get full bars on front and back cams.
There is no subscription fees. Camera software gives you two different option for data savings. Cloud and SD card. I got 32gb Sd card which works just fine with the camera.
The equipment is neat and feels strong, no flimsy plastics and no bulky cameras or base station and if you do need Customer Services they respond promptly and efficiently. Happy to recommend.

I purchased this camera due to the longer battery life of the previous model I have, which is also good.
It came well packaged and next day.
The unit is good quality and video recording is top quality. I have this one set up in the rear garden with no issues with WiFi due to the adjustable antennas. The motion detection is quick and clear. All footage is secured on an mini SD card not included and encrypted so cannot be viewed from laptop or Pc for added security. To view alarmed events or live footage you use an app on your mobile device downloaded from your relevant store. The app is feature packed also. All events are instantly notified on your mobile device and recorded clips saved to the card. The camera is charged via mini USB or you can hook up a solar charger panel sold separately. All in all I am very impressed with this camera and can highly recommend.

OK I have had this camera for a week now, I’ve tested the battery and HD quality, firstly the camera is superbly build and has quite a weight to it and size but its still fairly discrete . It come’s with a sturdy mounting plate and bracket which holds the camera firmly in place. Apon installing i made sure i charged the camera to 100% and decided were i would place the unit.
I was pleasantly surprised by the wide field of view which made placement much easier, the quality of the 1080p footage is excellent, the night mode is superb but the most impressive thing for me is the battery life, after a week the camera is still at 100% which is quite shocking considering the amount of time I’ve played about with it watching alert footage and live streaming when am away from home.
Overall i would thoroughly recommend this IP camera, the beauty of this kind of setup is no wires, it took me 10 mins to find a suitable placement and to fire up the screws onto the mounting plate job done, and if the battery lasts for three to four months between charging am more than happy.

I bought this camera off the back of the fact that the other two I bought by the same company just do the job. It’s as simple as that. Technology frustrates me a lot. But these I have had no bother with at all.
I have already reviewed the Android App regarding the previous cameras so I’ll keep this short.

SOFTWARE.

What can I say, the set up is child’s play. Basically download the app, add the camera you have, which is shown in pretty pictures rather than words. Add your wi fi password, up pops a QR code on your phone and simply point it at the camera and wait for the jingle sound.
Hey Presto, the camera is set up and done. Now just systematically go through the meus and see what it can do. There are slighty different detection tabs with this camera to the smaller models I have. Notibly and probably better detection settings specifically for night and day juman detection. If you want to add another model, to the software you simply press the plus tab and do the above. Done in seconds rather than minutes.

SETTING UP THE CAMERA.

This is a much bigger camera than the smaller models. Therefore the fixings do not have the optional magnetic attachment. The noticeable difference with this model is the wi fi antennas. As an example I have a small house and the position of the front and back way cameras are set exactly at the same distances from the router. The signal strength on this model is 70% compared to the smaller model at only 47%. So a good improvement there. The mount fixing screw is different to the smaller models, see image, and allowed me to do this while stretching out the window and manipulating it one handed. Compared to the fixing given for the smaller cameras which have a grub type screw that requires both hands to fix it while holding the camera. This fixing is let down only by the plastic tightening washer to the camera back. You really need that tight and I managed to rip out the threads on it. Only hand tighten it, do not use pliers! Ironically the smaller cameras have a metal washer, so I had a spare and fixed that tight before mounting using pliers. The image shows the smaller metal fixing attached.

FINAL NOTES

Things to think about before you start!

Don’t forget to put in an mini SD card first! Don’t be a silly billy like me. I got it all up and had to take it down again.
Mount the camera in a place you can easily access it. When it rained a few small droplets landed on the lense area. The glass in front is flat so no issues with a quick wipe down.

Not really any bad points apart from the screw issue, it needs to be metal on this heavier camera. The mount is also on the back so it projects much further out, away from the wall so mounting it under an eve will not give it any extra protection against Sun glare and rain. But it is fully water proof anyway. The camera is less descreet than the small ones. This can be a good or bad issue. Could make it harder to place a cage over it. The tiny rubber feet on the bottom of the camera came out easily while I was twisting the camera on. Might be worth taking those out then reapplying.

Only time will tell regarding longevity. Still for now 5 stars.
