Reliable, easy to (ré) configurate I’ve several of these camera and I especially like because they are reliable, easy to reset and re-configurate. I had to change router a few times in some months and some other cameras refused to reconnect while I never had problem with little elf. Honestly I find reliability more important than picture quality. But the video quality is also very good so totally recommended.
They’re ok At the time of this review these 2 cameras are 45.99 for 2. They dont feel as good as quality as some of the more premium ones but they are sufficient enough to do the job. They did seem fiddly to set up which was frustrating, you just download the app and try and get them to link up. Once they were finally set up the picture quality seems ok and better than some others. I’m not sure the motion detection is the best but if you are looking for a cheap and cheerful camera to pick up the basics then these are for you.
Not bad for the price and features These are standard indoor use only cameras with 2 way audio system and night vision. Video quality is good and audio is sharp and clear. Only take couple minutes to setup and they work with main usb power adapters. For video recording you need a micro sd card. You can fix this with wall or can put on straight surface.
Overall not bad for the features and build quality. I already have same camera from a different brand and they work perfectly fine. At the time of review this product was available for 45.99 plus extra 3 off voucher.
high resolutio These are used to monitor my two cats while we are away on holiday. With someone spending 30 minutes’ visiting the house to refill food and water, clean litre tray and groom them, they are home alone. We want to make sure they are safe. This is a great pair of security cameras. Enable us to see how they are everyday. One camera in kitchen/diner and one in the sitting room. USB powered, clear pictures and even able to zoom in if needed. Great night visions. We can even talk to our cats. I love seeing them reacting to the cameras but cant figure out where we are.
Two Home Security Cameras A couple of decent Little Elf home video cameras for less than 46.
Simple to set up. Get close to your WiFi router with the Little Elf and your Bluetooth turned on.
Install the app, Littlelf Smart, on your phone and set up one camera at a time.
Just create an account on the app and enter your password for your internet router and now add the devices. In the app you click on the “+” Add Device. Power up a camera and after a couple bleeps the camera is flashing a red LED. A really easy installation. Now point the Little Elf camera at a QR code that appears on your smartphone. So now the camera is installed and working.
Name each camera after your favourite celebrity and tap on the camera’s icon to see the live stream. And repeat for the second camera.
The video is crisp with no lag. You can view both cameras at the same time, useful if the enemy are trying to break in at the front and the back of your mansion! You can record video to your phone or buy an SD card.
Great quality product with high resolution images for a comparatively low cost. This camera is really rather good. I have a full Arlo set up at home to monitor externals but wanted something simple and cheaper for internal monitoring. This camera fits the bill perfectly. It’s 1080p so picture quality is good, particularly during the day with nice crisp and clear images. What I was more concerned with was how it performed in low light and night settings. I need not have worried though as it actually surpassed my expectations right from the beginning.
It’s fairly straightforward to get set up, even for those with limited technical knowledge. Simply plug in the camera to a nearby socket and download the ‘Little Elf’ app. The app talks you through everything stage by stage so it’s really simple and intuitive. The app interface itself is actually really informative although there are in reality probably too many functions for the basic user who just wants a simple experience. That said you can pretty much ignore the advance settings and use this system straight out the box too. If you want more functionality you can still subscribe to things like cloud storage etc. later down the line if you wish.
It’s worth noting it doesn’t come with any form of internal storage so if you want to keep a history of your activations you will need to either purchase and add your own micro SD card or you can subscribe to the Little elf app and store your images and videos in their own cloud storage although this does carry a monthly charge so bare that in mind when considering your options. I didn’t bother with the latter as I chose this to be an internal camera system for keeping an eye on our Labrador pup when we are out, so I just popped an SD card into the slot on the side of the camera, formatted it through the app and it started recording and storing my data immediately. Once again the app is really simple to use and you can easily select between stored videos and pictures. You can use up to a 256GB micro SD card so there is plenty of storage for all your files and videos. Don’t forget if you choose this option you will need to factor in the additional cost of a card which will bump up your total spend a little.
What is particularly great about this app and camera is the live view function. You have audio and video capability so you can see and hear everything that’s going on virtually live. I say virtually as there is a couple of seconds delay between the live stream and you seeing and hearing everything on your device. That’s usual for this type of tech and not uncommon. The lag is minimal however and doesn’t massively affect the overall user experience, at least not in my opinion. You can opt in to receive notifications pushed directly to your phones Home Screen which is really useful. I disabled this function myself as I found I was being alerted too much by movement of my dog. If using the camera as a static CCTV detection system though, this functionally is particularly helpful. The moment someone steps into the cameras field of view you will receive a notification informing you of this so you can get straight onto your two way communication channel and let the trespasser know you are watching and recording them. That’s a significant peace of mind for a relatively low cost investment.
The low light and night functions are again where this camera excels. Whilst daytime images are crisp and clear and full 1080p colour, in night mode the image switches to grey scale but is still really clear even in almost pitch black conditions. There are 8 infra-red LED lights which are fairly non-intrusive and barely visible at night which I found didn’t disturb my pup at all. Additionally there is a pan and tilt function which is really useful for tracking my pup’s movements manually around the room. It’s worth noting that the camera will only connect to a 2.4GHz network. I have a dual band system in place so this wasn’t an issue for me but if you are running a lot of other tech on there lower banding than it could impact the view feed on your device if you are maxing out on band width.
The app as I have already mentioned is really rather good and allows you to export images and videos directly to your phone and take snapshots via your phones camera live and in the moment too. You can even connect it all up to your Google home or in my case Alexa Echo Show. I added the app functionality from Alexa skills and now I can see what’s happening and drop in on activity from both the master bedroom and the kitchen, or direct from my phone wherever I may be. All in all I can’t really fault this in anyway and it works really rather well. For the price I think it’s an awesome bit of kit. You have the ability to add multiple devices too if you wanted a more extensive CCTV setup. Absolutely nothing to dislike and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone. Top notch!
Fantastic cameras, really easy to set up and use, with high quality images I wanted a basic, static pair of security cameras to cover the front and back of the house and this pack from Crzwok completely exceeded my expectations. Currently priced at 45.99, they are great value for money and they have free returns so you have nothing to lose by ordering them.
They are so quick and easy to set up via the Littlelf app, which is really easy to use and has a superb multiscreen view to show both cameras at the same time. The HD picture quality is outstanding and the sound quality is pretty good if you need to listen in or speak through the camera. Please note that although you can manually adjust these cameras to get the position you require, you can’t pan and tilt them through the app.
You can choose a cloud subscription, of which you get a free trial, or use micro SD cards to store images. Alerts are timely and relevant (you can adjust sensitivity and alert area), and I love the little thumbnail picture you get so you can decide whether or not you need to check out the full video.
I highly recommend these cameras; they are small, inobtrusive, easy to use, very good quality and good value for money.
Very good Quality These indoor security cameras are very good quality, they are best used connected to your wifi, its compatible with Alexa. It has many features including two way talking, you can reassure your child without going into the room or calm pets whilst away from home. The picture quality is ok, night one is seeable. You do need to buy a SD card to record it. It works great via a smartphone. It can be set to get an alert if an intruder breaks in, giving you the chance to contact police. Overall its a good security device at a reasonable price.
Simple and Lag-Free I like this set of cameras. They work as expected and deliver amazing image quality. They pair pretty easily and the instructions manual is straightforward and easy to follow. It took me few minutes to go through the pairing process, and once everything was set up, the app worked pretty flawlessly. I use these while travelling for more than a day. I keep them on to make sure the house rooms are well-monitored so that any movement is detected. Overall, a decent set with a very affordable price tag.
amazing little cameras great little cameras, wifi range is amazing, picture quality is clear and good value money. there is a 2 way audio so good for if you have children or pets, or shouting at burglar. night vision is a little grainy but still really good. They are easy to install, only takes a few minutes.
Help with lambing I chose this to review for a rather unusual task.
My daughter has one for her flat and watches the cats while they are away and recommeneded it.
My son in law is a farmer and they have a mixed farm with a lot of sheep.
I lambing seasin he has to get up multiple times in the night to check on the preganat ewes. He has to get dressed and go out to check them.
I gave him this and he set it up in the barn where the ewes who are about to give birth are housed while waiting. This camera means he can have a look and check on them from inside the house.
The camera was easy to set up in the corner of the barn. They plan on taking it down to storre when not in use.
They set it up through their wifi and used my son in law’s phone to see the images. Next season they will use an ipad as the pictures will be larger.
The images are clear even at night which is good as he needs this to see the ewes at night.
They have not bothered usimg the sd card as they don’t need to store the images.
He finds the fact that the wide angle gives him a great wide view covering the small barn area and he can movethe view as heneeeds from ide the house means he doesn’t have to get cold and really wide awake from going out into the yard everytime he checks on the ewes.
This is not a huge camera so is not intrusive.I do think it needs to be inside under cover hence bringing it in for safe keeping when the lambing is over.
If you have an alexa with vision this is even better as you can ask alexa to show you … and there it is on the screen .
The camera does need to be plugged in to an electric socket but luckily there is power out in the bar as obviously they need light out there in the night.
This is a good security camera or baby monitor or lambing monitor – great images and easy to set up.
Fantastic little basic cameras. Easiest setup ever. Good picture, hardly any lag. Super value! I have set up and used many cameras around the house, and in other places. I have cameras that cost from about 20 up to 140 and I have learned, especially with smart cameras… what you pay has little to do with what you can expect! I have even had the occasional cameras that I cannot get to work at all and when I consider how many systems I have tried and tested then I tend not to blame myself for cameras that refuse to configure correctly.
Having said all that I saw the Little Elf pair of “pet and baby monitor” cameras that cost less than 50 for the pair and I thought they’d maybe not be up to much. WRONG WRONG WRONG.
Firstly, it’s true that the cameras look rather basic… there’s nothing wrong with them but when put against some more expensive models there’s no big sturdy bracket, no weather shielded armour casing. The “Elf” cameras are a simple round disc shape that are perched on short plastic stems with a small ball jointed plastic base. However, what they lack in super-techie stature they more than compensate in performance. Here are some of the plus points I would like to sum up:
1) The setup was arguably the very easiest and quickest I have experienced.
2) The picture quality is superb for a camera at this price point.
3) There’s virtually no video lag, that’s a big plus point for me.
4) They have a wide angle of view.
5) They can record video and take snapshots.
6) You can turn movement detection notifications on or off.
7) An absolute bargain price.
To ensure simple setup I do recommend when setting up the cameras that you stand close to your WiFi router with the Little Elf camera close by as well, and make sure that your Bluetooth is turned on too.
To get the cameras up and running you need to install an app called “Littlelf Smart”. It’s about 127Mb on Playstore. I decided to set up one camera at a time. After installing the app you need to create an account. All that’s required initially is an email address. A verification code will then be sent to your email address. The code is entered into the app and then you get the opportunity to set a password for your new account. You will then be asked to enter the password for your internet router and the app/camera logs onto your home network. That’s it as far as the user account is concerned.
Then, when you get into the app you click on the “+” Add Device. I powered one of the cameras up and after a couple bleeps the camera is flashing a red LED and you have to turn on your phone’s Bluetooth, search if necessary and follow the on-screen instructions. I was really impressed with the glitch-free installation. The Smartphone scans/searches for a local device and finds the Little Elf camera (or you can manually add the camera by choosing the icon that resembles the camera from a few other devices listed in the app). Then all you need to do is point the Little Elf camera at a QR code that appears on your smartphone. The camera will scan the QR code, then it gives 3 or 4 beeps and that’s the job done! Just a few moments later the camera is installed and working. The first option you are given is to give the camera a specific name (if you want to) and then save the newly named camera. Then when you tap on the camera’s icon the live stream presents itself. I did exactly the same procedure to install the second camera and again that went absolutely fine.
The first thing I noticed was the quality of the video image from the camera (it seems to default to HD, but you can change it to normal definition if you want to) which was really crisp and clear, certainly sufficient for the intended purpose. Not only that there was virtually no ‘lag’ with the Little Elf’s camera and the moving image shown on my smartphone. It was genuinely better than most of the cameras I have used (most of which cost a lot more). When the second Little Elf camera is installed you can view both cameras at the same time if you wish. I cannot fault the functionality of the Little Elf cameras and they represent a real bargain buy in my opinion. The angle of view is very generous too, but there’s a 2x zoom button you can tap if you want a less wide angle.
I have to say that my testing of the Little Elf cameras was a dream and I think they are fantastic value. If you just want a simple camera monitoring system to keep an eye on rooms in your house then the Little Elf will not disappoint. You can grab screenshots and record video and if you don’t have an SD card inserted the photo/video is stored in the gallery folder on your phone for easy viewing or saving.
For value, resolution and clarity, ease of set up, easy recording and still images, these cameras absolutely warrant a very full 5 Star rating. So nice to have a technical product that is so simple to get up and running without any issues.
Couldn't be much simple Once I got past the sticky plastic film protecting everything in the box, the rest of the set up was a piece of cake.
I downloaded the App from Play Store, then plugged in the first camera using the three pin adapter and the flat micro usb cable provided.
I selected manual setup as the autofind seemed to be taking a while.
A QR code appeared on my phone screen. I held it in front of the camera until a tone played, and that was it!
You can rename cameras and set up motion alerts.
To be honest, I turned them off as my cameras are in high traffic areas in my home and they quickly became annoying, but you have the option to record any movement, either to a micro SD card or to online storage.
The online storage plans start at 3.99 per month.
As you can see from the photo, the image is clear and has a wide field of view without too much ‘fisheye’ effect.
I just stood the cameras on a flat surface but they also come with 3M sticky pads and screws so you can fix them in different locations and orientations.
The App launches and connects quicky on my phone, giving me a fast and secure way to check up on my house when I’m not at home.
It is also Google and Alexa compatible so you connect to your favourite smart home system.
The Quality For The Price Point is Amazing Indoor Security Camera – 2 Pack.
I was worried these cameras would be a pain to set up. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Once I had downloaded the littlelf (one e) app. The app is free, and it’s available for iPhone and android devices. Registration is quick and easy. Once registered you press the + sign in the top corner, and add you camera. You need to add each camera separately. You can open the app to see the cameras view in real time. You also get push notifications when the camera detects any motion. You can then view the recorded video. I particularly like how you can insert a micro SD card into each camera. This will allow the camera(s) to record and store longer footage. You can ask Alexa to show you your camera live feeds also.
Great indoor cameras I ordered these cameras for added security.
The cameras paired easily to my phone and worked great on both daylight and night vision mode.
The camera can be set up in three positions, I have stood the cameras on the base rather than attaching them to the wall, they stand well and are sturdy.
You can use a card if you want to save your recordings, I have not done this and check on the cameras on real time.
You can hold in the button on the app and use the cameras to speak to another person or pet if that is what you are using them for.
The picture quality is better than I expected . They are a good price at the time of this review and I have no problem recommending them.
Easy to set up and serves its purpose Litokam’s indoor security camera helps you keep an eye on your home and monitor your family and pets when you are out.
The wireless camera has 1080P full HD resolution for you to clearly see what is happening. It is equipped with a 130-degree pan and a 90-degree tilt wide-angle lens for a broader view. It has 8 IR-LEDs and auto-sensing night vision technology with a detection range of up to 33ft. It also has a built-in microphone and speaker with anti-noise technology so you will be able to fluently and clearly communicate with your loved ones through the 2-way audio feature.
Moreover, it also supports a real-time alert when human motion is detected using the motion detector sensor feature that it has. Talking about its storage, you can insert a 128 GB micro SD card into this camera to store the footage or use cloud storage with unique encryption technology for 90 days, after that you need to subscribe at an additional cost.
I got 2 security cameras in one package and I must say that it looks premium and high-quality for such a low cost. It works with smart assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant for more convenience. It is also very easy to install and set up.
For my overall thoughts, I am happy and satisfied with the performance of these security cameras given that they were priced at only 45.99 for two.
Great value for money and easy to set up These are so easy to set up. Simple instructions and you need to download the app to use them but the instructions do supply a QR code to help with finding the correct app. Just follow the step by step guide and it is easy.
The feature include:
Naming the individual cameras, i.e. Kitchen, Porch, etc.
Motion detection alerts
Night vision
Sleep mode
Playback (if micro SD card has been inserted)
Two way talking/sound
HD picture
To name the ones I have noticed anyway. You can fix them in place using the screws provided or use the stands they are attached to, although not the best stability, depending on the surface. The brackets they are on are very flexible and you can manage most angles you want from the camera. They do have a keyhole lens which covers a good proportion of the room too.
The leads. The leads are USB leads and plugs for mains are also provided, giving the option of what type of socket you wish to use to power the cameras. However, I find the length of the leads not long enough to reach from where I want the cameras, to where I have to plug them in. They are only about 1 meter long (approx). If I want the camera near the ceiling the lead will not reach to the socket on floor level. If you can work around this, which I’m sure I will when I get around to it, these will be a great addition to my house security and to watch and talk to my dog while at work.
Overall, great value for money. You do get decent quality for your money here, considering I have seen one similar camera for the same price of these two cameras. I am very happy with mine.
Great for our AirBnB business This is a great value for money option if you’re not overly bothered about sheer clarity of image.
These cameras are super easy to setup, use, and access. The fact that you can use a Micro SD card and/or a cloud-based service is ideal.
We used these in our AirBnb premises foyer and porch, so that we could keep track on proceedings from afar. The motion detection is great, more than adequate, and keeps us informed of anyone coming in and out of the property.
We’ve not used it with Alexa, but that added functionality would surely be useful if we had one.
These are basically ready to plug and go!
There’s absolutely everything you need in the box to get going, and the cameras feel and look well-made and sturdy.
Overall, it’s a definite recommendation from us for the value for money.
Good value for money The indoor cameras are amazing. Installing the application is easy but I normally use the Tuya app. The notifications come promptly from the cameras and the night vision is perfect.
The clarity of picture/video can be on HD or SD depends how much memory I want to use on the memory card.
Is no memory card included in the box so I had two already in my house.
The cameras will not rotate automatically so I need to put them in the position desired myself.
In the app will be a few options such as :
-Two-way audio
– Sleep mode ( I can manually switch the device off for privacy)
-Playback is what was video recorded
-the gallery is where everything is stored
-night mode ( activates night vision)
The price at the time of review was around 45 which I do believe for two cameras is a good value for money. I hope my review and pictures can help you decide.
great hardware but let down a little by the software his is just fine for the money – it works as advertised and is relatively easy to setup. it has some very nifty features. the hardware is solid and very well made. the app however is a little clunky and not very intuitive. i think with some updates it might improve. another slight complaint is the picture is not super clear, perhaps only 1080p at best but i suspect this is software as opposed to hardware as the camera appears to be decent.
Cctv ki Twin wifi cameras of good quality even the plugs are a very good copy of another brand don’t forget to download the app for this to work and connect to your home wifi once done this is easy to use see pictures to show items and follow simple instructions
Great cams This camera comes in a box with instructions on how to install and set up, with power cable.
The camera itself is sleek and white with black in the middle.
The camera is quick and easy to set up even if you are not a very technical person. There is a step by step guide in the instruction booklet which all you have to do is connect the cables and just download the app. You then need to use your smartphone to scan the QR barcode so it can register the camera with your phone.
Takes a few minutes to install but it is very simple. I had no problems.
The camera also has audio so you can listen as well.
This is good for your home for example a baby bedroom, pet monitor or just generally around your house if you are not in. You can feel safe with this camera as you can check in at any time.
It’s a great product and good quality for the price.
It’s good how there is a SD card slot so you can have this to record for motion detection for security purposes and there are connections to connect to your alarm system to trigger when motions are detected.
Overall a very good IP camera compared to other products and works really well and the material is very smooth and strong for long lasting and the quality is very good.
Super little cameras There are loads of similar products around, the problem being (that I’ve found) is that a very high proportion of them use rubbish apps, that just will not connect to a home network, and if they do, it takes so much messing around, you give up. Happily, I can advise, these ones are a breeze. Simply load app (QR code provided), register, add cameras, and away you go. No complicated set-up, no changing to camera LAN, then trying to add to home network (where they usually fall over) — dead simple.
Next stage (if you use and desire), add the Littlelf skill to Alexa, and again, simple and easy — Done.
The cameras are decent quality, and work really well, with all the usual features, such as IR, movement detection, duplex audio, and the ability to add micro SD card (although you can save direct to phone etc when accessing.)
The cameras are really well-made, very good quality, with a decent mounting bracket, and fairly robust construction. There are included also, USB cables, and USB plugs, so you’re good to go out of the box!
The camera uses the ‘Littlelf app; which, I quickly discovered is part of the ‘Tuya’ family, which gave me a good degree of confidence. The app is excellent, and both cameras were up and running in a few minutes. Connection is straightforward, without fuss or drama.
The Wi-Fi range is excellent, no issues there. The cameras (as noted) are very well-featured, with (IR) night-vision, motion detection activation. Being inexpensive, the cameras are of course fixed focal range, but decent fisheye, for wide image.
The camera has a micro-SD card for storage of up to 64 Gb, which is less than some, but should be more than adequate.
One thing to be aware of. The description implies that there is a Windows interface for the cameras. Great, thought I — most don’t. Closer look, and there isn’t. It merely states that you can use an Android emulator and install the APK. I’ve tried emulators before, absolute rubbish — dreadful. So, thought I’d give another try, since ages since I tried previously. Loaded the latest Bluestacks emulator / apk. Any better? Absolutely not, so uninstalled. Here’s the thing. If you want to access via your PC (and you use Alexa), load Alexa on to your PC and do it that way. Works perfectly, although the image is a bit jagged.
All in all, I can very happily recommend these cameras, great for the price, very good value. Recommended.
Easy set up and good image quality These are easy to set up and once set up with the app on your phone and home wifi you can view them from anywhere so they are handy for multiple uses, from watching the pets to home security, the app works well and so far I’ve had no issues and find the image quality superb even at night you can easily see the room, all in all, 5 stars from me.
Good value for money 🤩 This is a great and well priced night camera good value for money and does the job! As someone with 3 cats, this was ideal for me as I could keep a eye on my dogs, even when I am at work or away. Very precise camera with good picture quality too has night vision, motion detection and other really cool features too! This is also a good size and not too big or small and was also super easy to assemble and put together. This also works perfectly with WiFi and is super convenient to have overall. Would definitely recommend
Security Camera duo Delivered by Amazon in its own branded box
These indoor security cameras arrived in their own box included was a long usb lead , a usb plug the cameras , a guarantee card and a quick start guide .
Setting it up was simple , I simply downloaded the app to my phone , I don’t have Alexa or Google but you can use these with this camera too .
It’s best to have an SD card if you want to save recordings .
Onto the unit itself . The camera is set in a circle of aluminium alloy on a base made from the same lightweight metal which can rotate 360 . It can be mounted in three ways either upright , bat like or spider control .
These have built in micophones and speakers which is a benefit if you’re using them indoors and have toddlers ( especially when they go unaturally quiet ) , being able to use the two way audio is brilliant . Placing it at a window facing outwards also works giving you a clear image of what’s happening outside the only down side to using it this way is the two way audio is a bit redundant . Having two you can use it both ways though which is a definite bonus .
The picture quality from camera to app is good quality , clear enough that I can see exactly what’s going on in front of the camera .
Priced At 45.99 these are a bargain . I’m very happily recommending these stylish indoor security cameras .
I’ve several of these camera and I especially like because they are reliable, easy to reset and re-configurate. I had to change router a few times in some months and some other cameras refused to reconnect while I never had problem with little elf. Honestly I find reliability more important than picture quality. But the video quality is also very good so totally recommended.
They’re ok
At the time of this review these 2 cameras are 45.99 for 2. They dont feel as good as quality as some of the more premium ones but they are sufficient enough to do the job. They did seem fiddly to set up which was frustrating, you just download the app and try and get them to link up. Once they were finally set up the picture quality seems ok and better than some others. I’m not sure the motion detection is the best but if you are looking for a cheap and cheerful camera to pick up the basics then these are for you.
Not bad for the price and features
These are standard indoor use only cameras with 2 way audio system and night vision. Video quality is good and audio is sharp and clear. Only take couple minutes to setup and they work with main usb power adapters. For video recording you need a micro sd card. You can fix this with wall or can put on straight surface.
Overall not bad for the features and build quality. I already have same camera from a different brand and they work perfectly fine. At the time of review this product was available for 45.99 plus extra 3 off voucher.
Great set of cameras
“Long Story Short”
Easy to set all up
Vision at night is great
User friendly interface
Small size will fit anywhere, no more bulky cameras.
Value for money 10 out of 10
high resolutio
These are used to monitor my two cats while we are away on holiday. With someone spending 30 minutes’ visiting the house to refill food and water, clean litre tray and groom them, they are home alone. We want to make sure they are safe. This is a great pair of security cameras. Enable us to see how they are everyday. One camera in kitchen/diner and one in the sitting room. USB powered, clear pictures and even able to zoom in if needed. Great night visions. We can even talk to our cats. I love seeing them reacting to the cameras but cant figure out where we are.
Two Home Security Cameras
A couple of decent Little Elf home video cameras for less than 46.
Simple to set up. Get close to your WiFi router with the Little Elf and your Bluetooth turned on.
Install the app, Littlelf Smart, on your phone and set up one camera at a time.
Just create an account on the app and enter your password for your internet router and now add the devices. In the app you click on the “+” Add Device. Power up a camera and after a couple bleeps the camera is flashing a red LED. A really easy installation. Now point the Little Elf camera at a QR code that appears on your smartphone. So now the camera is installed and working.
Name each camera after your favourite celebrity and tap on the camera’s icon to see the live stream. And repeat for the second camera.
The video is crisp with no lag. You can view both cameras at the same time, useful if the enemy are trying to break in at the front and the back of your mansion! You can record video to your phone or buy an SD card.
A really simple camera monitoring system.
Great quality product with high resolution images for a comparatively low cost.
This camera is really rather good. I have a full Arlo set up at home to monitor externals but wanted something simple and cheaper for internal monitoring. This camera fits the bill perfectly. It’s 1080p so picture quality is good, particularly during the day with nice crisp and clear images. What I was more concerned with was how it performed in low light and night settings. I need not have worried though as it actually surpassed my expectations right from the beginning.
It’s fairly straightforward to get set up, even for those with limited technical knowledge. Simply plug in the camera to a nearby socket and download the ‘Little Elf’ app. The app talks you through everything stage by stage so it’s really simple and intuitive. The app interface itself is actually really informative although there are in reality probably too many functions for the basic user who just wants a simple experience. That said you can pretty much ignore the advance settings and use this system straight out the box too. If you want more functionality you can still subscribe to things like cloud storage etc. later down the line if you wish.
It’s worth noting it doesn’t come with any form of internal storage so if you want to keep a history of your activations you will need to either purchase and add your own micro SD card or you can subscribe to the Little elf app and store your images and videos in their own cloud storage although this does carry a monthly charge so bare that in mind when considering your options. I didn’t bother with the latter as I chose this to be an internal camera system for keeping an eye on our Labrador pup when we are out, so I just popped an SD card into the slot on the side of the camera, formatted it through the app and it started recording and storing my data immediately. Once again the app is really simple to use and you can easily select between stored videos and pictures. You can use up to a 256GB micro SD card so there is plenty of storage for all your files and videos. Don’t forget if you choose this option you will need to factor in the additional cost of a card which will bump up your total spend a little.
What is particularly great about this app and camera is the live view function. You have audio and video capability so you can see and hear everything that’s going on virtually live. I say virtually as there is a couple of seconds delay between the live stream and you seeing and hearing everything on your device. That’s usual for this type of tech and not uncommon. The lag is minimal however and doesn’t massively affect the overall user experience, at least not in my opinion. You can opt in to receive notifications pushed directly to your phones Home Screen which is really useful. I disabled this function myself as I found I was being alerted too much by movement of my dog. If using the camera as a static CCTV detection system though, this functionally is particularly helpful. The moment someone steps into the cameras field of view you will receive a notification informing you of this so you can get straight onto your two way communication channel and let the trespasser know you are watching and recording them. That’s a significant peace of mind for a relatively low cost investment.
The low light and night functions are again where this camera excels. Whilst daytime images are crisp and clear and full 1080p colour, in night mode the image switches to grey scale but is still really clear even in almost pitch black conditions. There are 8 infra-red LED lights which are fairly non-intrusive and barely visible at night which I found didn’t disturb my pup at all. Additionally there is a pan and tilt function which is really useful for tracking my pup’s movements manually around the room. It’s worth noting that the camera will only connect to a 2.4GHz network. I have a dual band system in place so this wasn’t an issue for me but if you are running a lot of other tech on there lower banding than it could impact the view feed on your device if you are maxing out on band width.
The app as I have already mentioned is really rather good and allows you to export images and videos directly to your phone and take snapshots via your phones camera live and in the moment too. You can even connect it all up to your Google home or in my case Alexa Echo Show. I added the app functionality from Alexa skills and now I can see what’s happening and drop in on activity from both the master bedroom and the kitchen, or direct from my phone wherever I may be. All in all I can’t really fault this in anyway and it works really rather well. For the price I think it’s an awesome bit of kit. You have the ability to add multiple devices too if you wanted a more extensive CCTV setup. Absolutely nothing to dislike and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone. Top notch!
Fantastic cameras, really easy to set up and use, with high quality images
I wanted a basic, static pair of security cameras to cover the front and back of the house and this pack from Crzwok completely exceeded my expectations. Currently priced at 45.99, they are great value for money and they have free returns so you have nothing to lose by ordering them.
They are so quick and easy to set up via the Littlelf app, which is really easy to use and has a superb multiscreen view to show both cameras at the same time. The HD picture quality is outstanding and the sound quality is pretty good if you need to listen in or speak through the camera. Please note that although you can manually adjust these cameras to get the position you require, you can’t pan and tilt them through the app.
You can choose a cloud subscription, of which you get a free trial, or use micro SD cards to store images. Alerts are timely and relevant (you can adjust sensitivity and alert area), and I love the little thumbnail picture you get so you can decide whether or not you need to check out the full video.
I highly recommend these cameras; they are small, inobtrusive, easy to use, very good quality and good value for money.
Very good Quality
These indoor security cameras are very good quality, they are best used connected to your wifi, its compatible with Alexa. It has many features including two way talking, you can reassure your child without going into the room or calm pets whilst away from home. The picture quality is ok, night one is seeable. You do need to buy a SD card to record it. It works great via a smartphone. It can be set to get an alert if an intruder breaks in, giving you the chance to contact police. Overall its a good security device at a reasonable price.
Simple and Lag-Free
I like this set of cameras. They work as expected and deliver amazing image quality. They pair pretty easily and the instructions manual is straightforward and easy to follow. It took me few minutes to go through the pairing process, and once everything was set up, the app worked pretty flawlessly. I use these while travelling for more than a day. I keep them on to make sure the house rooms are well-monitored so that any movement is detected. Overall, a decent set with a very affordable price tag.
amazing little cameras
great little cameras, wifi range is amazing, picture quality is clear and good value money. there is a 2 way audio so good for if you have children or pets, or shouting at burglar. night vision is a little grainy but still really good. They are easy to install, only takes a few minutes.
Help with lambing
I chose this to review for a rather unusual task.
My daughter has one for her flat and watches the cats while they are away and recommeneded it.
My son in law is a farmer and they have a mixed farm with a lot of sheep.
I lambing seasin he has to get up multiple times in the night to check on the preganat ewes. He has to get dressed and go out to check them.
I gave him this and he set it up in the barn where the ewes who are about to give birth are housed while waiting. This camera means he can have a look and check on them from inside the house.
The camera was easy to set up in the corner of the barn. They plan on taking it down to storre when not in use.
They set it up through their wifi and used my son in law’s phone to see the images. Next season they will use an ipad as the pictures will be larger.
The images are clear even at night which is good as he needs this to see the ewes at night.
They have not bothered usimg the sd card as they don’t need to store the images.
He finds the fact that the wide angle gives him a great wide view covering the small barn area and he can movethe view as heneeeds from ide the house means he doesn’t have to get cold and really wide awake from going out into the yard everytime he checks on the ewes.
This is not a huge camera so is not intrusive.I do think it needs to be inside under cover hence bringing it in for safe keeping when the lambing is over.
If you have an alexa with vision this is even better as you can ask alexa to show you … and there it is on the screen .
The camera does need to be plugged in to an electric socket but luckily there is power out in the bar as obviously they need light out there in the night.
This is a good security camera or baby monitor or lambing monitor – great images and easy to set up.
Fantastic little basic cameras. Easiest setup ever. Good picture, hardly any lag. Super value!
I have set up and used many cameras around the house, and in other places. I have cameras that cost from about 20 up to 140 and I have learned, especially with smart cameras… what you pay has little to do with what you can expect! I have even had the occasional cameras that I cannot get to work at all and when I consider how many systems I have tried and tested then I tend not to blame myself for cameras that refuse to configure correctly.
Having said all that I saw the Little Elf pair of “pet and baby monitor” cameras that cost less than 50 for the pair and I thought they’d maybe not be up to much. WRONG WRONG WRONG.
Firstly, it’s true that the cameras look rather basic… there’s nothing wrong with them but when put against some more expensive models there’s no big sturdy bracket, no weather shielded armour casing. The “Elf” cameras are a simple round disc shape that are perched on short plastic stems with a small ball jointed plastic base. However, what they lack in super-techie stature they more than compensate in performance. Here are some of the plus points I would like to sum up:
1) The setup was arguably the very easiest and quickest I have experienced.
2) The picture quality is superb for a camera at this price point.
3) There’s virtually no video lag, that’s a big plus point for me.
4) They have a wide angle of view.
5) They can record video and take snapshots.
6) You can turn movement detection notifications on or off.
7) An absolute bargain price.
To ensure simple setup I do recommend when setting up the cameras that you stand close to your WiFi router with the Little Elf camera close by as well, and make sure that your Bluetooth is turned on too.
To get the cameras up and running you need to install an app called “Littlelf Smart”. It’s about 127Mb on Playstore. I decided to set up one camera at a time. After installing the app you need to create an account. All that’s required initially is an email address. A verification code will then be sent to your email address. The code is entered into the app and then you get the opportunity to set a password for your new account. You will then be asked to enter the password for your internet router and the app/camera logs onto your home network. That’s it as far as the user account is concerned.
Then, when you get into the app you click on the “+” Add Device. I powered one of the cameras up and after a couple bleeps the camera is flashing a red LED and you have to turn on your phone’s Bluetooth, search if necessary and follow the on-screen instructions. I was really impressed with the glitch-free installation. The Smartphone scans/searches for a local device and finds the Little Elf camera (or you can manually add the camera by choosing the icon that resembles the camera from a few other devices listed in the app). Then all you need to do is point the Little Elf camera at a QR code that appears on your smartphone. The camera will scan the QR code, then it gives 3 or 4 beeps and that’s the job done! Just a few moments later the camera is installed and working. The first option you are given is to give the camera a specific name (if you want to) and then save the newly named camera. Then when you tap on the camera’s icon the live stream presents itself. I did exactly the same procedure to install the second camera and again that went absolutely fine.
The first thing I noticed was the quality of the video image from the camera (it seems to default to HD, but you can change it to normal definition if you want to) which was really crisp and clear, certainly sufficient for the intended purpose. Not only that there was virtually no ‘lag’ with the Little Elf’s camera and the moving image shown on my smartphone. It was genuinely better than most of the cameras I have used (most of which cost a lot more). When the second Little Elf camera is installed you can view both cameras at the same time if you wish. I cannot fault the functionality of the Little Elf cameras and they represent a real bargain buy in my opinion. The angle of view is very generous too, but there’s a 2x zoom button you can tap if you want a less wide angle.
I have to say that my testing of the Little Elf cameras was a dream and I think they are fantastic value. If you just want a simple camera monitoring system to keep an eye on rooms in your house then the Little Elf will not disappoint. You can grab screenshots and record video and if you don’t have an SD card inserted the photo/video is stored in the gallery folder on your phone for easy viewing or saving.
For value, resolution and clarity, ease of set up, easy recording and still images, these cameras absolutely warrant a very full 5 Star rating. So nice to have a technical product that is so simple to get up and running without any issues.
Couldn't be much simple
Once I got past the sticky plastic film protecting everything in the box, the rest of the set up was a piece of cake.
I downloaded the App from Play Store, then plugged in the first camera using the three pin adapter and the flat micro usb cable provided.
I selected manual setup as the autofind seemed to be taking a while.
A QR code appeared on my phone screen. I held it in front of the camera until a tone played, and that was it!
You can rename cameras and set up motion alerts.
To be honest, I turned them off as my cameras are in high traffic areas in my home and they quickly became annoying, but you have the option to record any movement, either to a micro SD card or to online storage.
The online storage plans start at 3.99 per month.
As you can see from the photo, the image is clear and has a wide field of view without too much ‘fisheye’ effect.
I just stood the cameras on a flat surface but they also come with 3M sticky pads and screws so you can fix them in different locations and orientations.
The App launches and connects quicky on my phone, giving me a fast and secure way to check up on my house when I’m not at home.
It is also Google and Alexa compatible so you connect to your favourite smart home system.
The Quality For The Price Point is Amazing
Indoor Security Camera – 2 Pack.
I was worried these cameras would be a pain to set up. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Once I had downloaded the littlelf (one e) app. The app is free, and it’s available for iPhone and android devices. Registration is quick and easy. Once registered you press the + sign in the top corner, and add you camera. You need to add each camera separately. You can open the app to see the cameras view in real time. You also get push notifications when the camera detects any motion. You can then view the recorded video. I particularly like how you can insert a micro SD card into each camera. This will allow the camera(s) to record and store longer footage. You can ask Alexa to show you your camera live feeds also.
Great indoor cameras
I ordered these cameras for added security.
The cameras paired easily to my phone and worked great on both daylight and night vision mode.
The camera can be set up in three positions, I have stood the cameras on the base rather than attaching them to the wall, they stand well and are sturdy.
You can use a card if you want to save your recordings, I have not done this and check on the cameras on real time.
You can hold in the button on the app and use the cameras to speak to another person or pet if that is what you are using them for.
The picture quality is better than I expected . They are a good price at the time of this review and I have no problem recommending them.
Easy to set up and serves its purpose
Litokam’s indoor security camera helps you keep an eye on your home and monitor your family and pets when you are out.
The wireless camera has 1080P full HD resolution for you to clearly see what is happening. It is equipped with a 130-degree pan and a 90-degree tilt wide-angle lens for a broader view. It has 8 IR-LEDs and auto-sensing night vision technology with a detection range of up to 33ft. It also has a built-in microphone and speaker with anti-noise technology so you will be able to fluently and clearly communicate with your loved ones through the 2-way audio feature.
Moreover, it also supports a real-time alert when human motion is detected using the motion detector sensor feature that it has. Talking about its storage, you can insert a 128 GB micro SD card into this camera to store the footage or use cloud storage with unique encryption technology for 90 days, after that you need to subscribe at an additional cost.
I got 2 security cameras in one package and I must say that it looks premium and high-quality for such a low cost. It works with smart assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant for more convenience. It is also very easy to install and set up.
For my overall thoughts, I am happy and satisfied with the performance of these security cameras given that they were priced at only 45.99 for two.
Great value for money and easy to set up
These are so easy to set up. Simple instructions and you need to download the app to use them but the instructions do supply a QR code to help with finding the correct app. Just follow the step by step guide and it is easy.
The feature include:
Naming the individual cameras, i.e. Kitchen, Porch, etc.
Motion detection alerts
Night vision
Sleep mode
Playback (if micro SD card has been inserted)
Two way talking/sound
HD picture
To name the ones I have noticed anyway. You can fix them in place using the screws provided or use the stands they are attached to, although not the best stability, depending on the surface. The brackets they are on are very flexible and you can manage most angles you want from the camera. They do have a keyhole lens which covers a good proportion of the room too.
The leads. The leads are USB leads and plugs for mains are also provided, giving the option of what type of socket you wish to use to power the cameras. However, I find the length of the leads not long enough to reach from where I want the cameras, to where I have to plug them in. They are only about 1 meter long (approx). If I want the camera near the ceiling the lead will not reach to the socket on floor level. If you can work around this, which I’m sure I will when I get around to it, these will be a great addition to my house security and to watch and talk to my dog while at work.
Overall, great value for money. You do get decent quality for your money here, considering I have seen one similar camera for the same price of these two cameras. I am very happy with mine.
Great for our AirBnB business
This is a great value for money option if you’re not overly bothered about sheer clarity of image.
These cameras are super easy to setup, use, and access. The fact that you can use a Micro SD card and/or a cloud-based service is ideal.
We used these in our AirBnb premises foyer and porch, so that we could keep track on proceedings from afar. The motion detection is great, more than adequate, and keeps us informed of anyone coming in and out of the property.
We’ve not used it with Alexa, but that added functionality would surely be useful if we had one.
These are basically ready to plug and go!
There’s absolutely everything you need in the box to get going, and the cameras feel and look well-made and sturdy.
Overall, it’s a definite recommendation from us for the value for money.
Good value for money
The indoor cameras are amazing. Installing the application is easy but I normally use the Tuya app. The notifications come promptly from the cameras and the night vision is perfect.
The clarity of picture/video can be on HD or SD depends how much memory I want to use on the memory card.
Is no memory card included in the box so I had two already in my house.
The cameras will not rotate automatically so I need to put them in the position desired myself.
In the app will be a few options such as :
-Two-way audio
– Sleep mode ( I can manually switch the device off for privacy)
-Playback is what was video recorded
-the gallery is where everything is stored
-night mode ( activates night vision)
The price at the time of review was around 45 which I do believe for two cameras is a good value for money. I hope my review and pictures can help you decide.
great hardware but let down a little by the software
his is just fine for the money – it works as advertised and is relatively easy to setup. it has some very nifty features. the hardware is solid and very well made. the app however is a little clunky and not very intuitive. i think with some updates it might improve. another slight complaint is the picture is not super clear, perhaps only 1080p at best but i suspect this is software as opposed to hardware as the camera appears to be decent.
Cctv ki
Twin wifi cameras of good quality even the plugs are a very good copy of another brand don’t forget to download the app for this to work and connect to your home wifi once done this is easy to use see pictures to show items and follow simple instructions
Great cams
This camera comes in a box with instructions on how to install and set up, with power cable.
The camera itself is sleek and white with black in the middle.
The camera is quick and easy to set up even if you are not a very technical person. There is a step by step guide in the instruction booklet which all you have to do is connect the cables and just download the app. You then need to use your smartphone to scan the QR barcode so it can register the camera with your phone.
Takes a few minutes to install but it is very simple. I had no problems.
The camera also has audio so you can listen as well.
This is good for your home for example a baby bedroom, pet monitor or just generally around your house if you are not in. You can feel safe with this camera as you can check in at any time.
It’s a great product and good quality for the price.
It’s good how there is a SD card slot so you can have this to record for motion detection for security purposes and there are connections to connect to your alarm system to trigger when motions are detected.
Overall a very good IP camera compared to other products and works really well and the material is very smooth and strong for long lasting and the quality is very good.
Super little cameras
There are loads of similar products around, the problem being (that I’ve found) is that a very high proportion of them use rubbish apps, that just will not connect to a home network, and if they do, it takes so much messing around, you give up. Happily, I can advise, these ones are a breeze. Simply load app (QR code provided), register, add cameras, and away you go. No complicated set-up, no changing to camera LAN, then trying to add to home network (where they usually fall over) — dead simple.
Next stage (if you use and desire), add the Littlelf skill to Alexa, and again, simple and easy — Done.
The cameras are decent quality, and work really well, with all the usual features, such as IR, movement detection, duplex audio, and the ability to add micro SD card (although you can save direct to phone etc when accessing.)
The cameras are really well-made, very good quality, with a decent mounting bracket, and fairly robust construction. There are included also, USB cables, and USB plugs, so you’re good to go out of the box!
The camera uses the ‘Littlelf app; which, I quickly discovered is part of the ‘Tuya’ family, which gave me a good degree of confidence. The app is excellent, and both cameras were up and running in a few minutes. Connection is straightforward, without fuss or drama.
The Wi-Fi range is excellent, no issues there. The cameras (as noted) are very well-featured, with (IR) night-vision, motion detection activation. Being inexpensive, the cameras are of course fixed focal range, but decent fisheye, for wide image.
The camera has a micro-SD card for storage of up to 64 Gb, which is less than some, but should be more than adequate.
One thing to be aware of. The description implies that there is a Windows interface for the cameras. Great, thought I — most don’t. Closer look, and there isn’t. It merely states that you can use an Android emulator and install the APK. I’ve tried emulators before, absolute rubbish — dreadful. So, thought I’d give another try, since ages since I tried previously. Loaded the latest Bluestacks emulator / apk. Any better? Absolutely not, so uninstalled. Here’s the thing. If you want to access via your PC (and you use Alexa), load Alexa on to your PC and do it that way. Works perfectly, although the image is a bit jagged.
All in all, I can very happily recommend these cameras, great for the price, very good value. Recommended.
I hope this has been helpful
Easy set up and good image quality
These are easy to set up and once set up with the app on your phone and home wifi you can view them from anywhere so they are handy for multiple uses, from watching the pets to home security, the app works well and so far I’ve had no issues and find the image quality superb even at night you can easily see the room, all in all, 5 stars from me.
Good value for money 🤩
This is a great and well priced night camera good value for money and does the job! As someone with 3 cats, this was ideal for me as I could keep a eye on my dogs, even when I am at work or away. Very precise camera with good picture quality too has night vision, motion detection and other really cool features too! This is also a good size and not too big or small and was also super easy to assemble and put together. This also works perfectly with WiFi and is super convenient to have overall. Would definitely recommend
Security Camera duo
Delivered by Amazon in its own branded box
These indoor security cameras arrived in their own box included was a long usb lead , a usb plug the cameras , a guarantee card and a quick start guide .
Setting it up was simple , I simply downloaded the app to my phone , I don’t have Alexa or Google but you can use these with this camera too .
It’s best to have an SD card if you want to save recordings .
Onto the unit itself . The camera is set in a circle of aluminium alloy on a base made from the same lightweight metal which can rotate 360 . It can be mounted in three ways either upright , bat like or spider control .
These have built in micophones and speakers which is a benefit if you’re using them indoors and have toddlers ( especially when they go unaturally quiet ) , being able to use the two way audio is brilliant . Placing it at a window facing outwards also works giving you a clear image of what’s happening outside the only down side to using it this way is the two way audio is a bit redundant . Having two you can use it both ways though which is a definite bonus .
The picture quality from camera to app is good quality , clear enough that I can see exactly what’s going on in front of the camera .
Priced At 45.99 these are a bargain . I’m very happily recommending these stylish indoor security cameras .
