ieGeek Security Outdoor Cameras 2-Cam Kit 1080P Waterproof Home Security Systems CCTV Cameras Systems With Full Aluminum Housing, 25m Night Vision, Motion Detection and Push Alerts for Android/iOS/PC

Excellent camera for the price (purchased on prime day deal). Easy enough to setup, good quality picture – app simple enough to use day to day. Used to monitor the back of the house so mounted at the extreme border of the property – still picks up the WiFi. Connection a little slow but this is down to location so fully expected, still able to transfer files from the device via the app. Connected easily enough to FTP server for motion detection alarms. Creates files no problem but motion detection either a little sensitive (too many alerts and files) or not sensitive enough (dogs can run round and nothing triggered) – have not quite hit the happy balance yet (but saying that I did not buy for this feature and quite frankly at the price I was not expecting it too). Camera has survived +35 temps in direct sunlight plus deluges of water – so far so good. Power supply is small enough to fit inside a weatherproof socket (just) which was an added bonus, saved me mounting a box for it. Had to adapt the weatherproof Ethernet plug to make it water tight since I was not using a wired connection, shame it did not come with a blank grommet or similar but again certainly not a deal breaker for the price.

Overall very happy with the camera and would purchase another (if the need arose).

The camera takes a little setting up. Easy to do. The app works well. I have managed to add it to the CCTV system so I can now record to my HDD as well as the SD card and get email shots as well. Found the wifi dropped out so I have wired it to the LAN.

This camera is brilliant. Connected straightaway and works very well. I am most impressed with the night vision which is better than the other four wifi IP cameras of a different manufacture that I have. Area illumination at night is consistent throughout the field of view and the picture is very sharp and well contrasted. Any movement during darkness hours is immediately picked up and recorded.
The upgraded model which I have features a very convenient method of fitting an SD card which is a flap underneath the casing of the camera which when opened allows direct insertion of a micro SD card into the card holder of the camera. Very Easy to use.
I like the black body of the camera as it blends into the surrounds far better than white ones and the low intensity IR lamps for the night vision means it is far more difficult to spot by any intruder at night
The upgraded aerial for the wifi signal works very well and gives a better range than my other cameras. This will enable me to fit more cameras in areas which have so far been beyond wifi range. I plan to fit two more in the future.

Bought to replace 180 trail camera.
This has more features, better picture, better night vision and best of All doesn’t cost 10 a week for batterys.

Even i too works on camera subsystem,I felt this camera image quality is good and wifi signal strength is good and motion detection algorithm works perfectly as this not object detection or classifier algorithm ,This camera purely run with motion detection similar like intruder alarms in home security and night vision aspects camera in built with 31 infrared led which can nicely builds your night vision image over all.Totally i have purchased 2 camera one to front and one to backyards…Both works expected and matched with price tag…..

Researched for a budget outdoor IP camera with 1080 resolution. I chose the IeGeek for the well written reviews and attractive price, most of the negative reviews where network related not the camera.

The camera arrived next day with free postage.

A very nice touch was to get an Email from IeGeek with some useful tips and their willingness to help if needed, with the necessary links
.
Having previously read the online manuals the camera was easily set up on Wi-Fi and phone using CamHi and on my PC using HiP2P. Added a 128gb SD which worked OK
.
The camera was mounted outside using a small junction box to hold the cables see picture.

So far I have been impressed with the picture quality both day and night and the cameras software controls for setting up on my LAN, so I now need to master remote access which looks a little more difficult but know help is at hand should I need it. (Will update later if I experience problems).

To sum up I am very impressed with the camera it does more than required and at an extremely attractive price and may well buy a second camera to cover another area when able.

Update 19/07/19. Having used the camera for 2 weeks, mastered the various settings the results are excellent both day and night, even with a WiFi signal strength of only -80 dBm

The camera is set up on WiFi and have used the IeGeek recommended software :-

Direct camera access menu is via its IP address both on my Phone/tablet (Android) and Microsoft Edge with Windows 10, it will ask to allow “Adobe Flash”, allow once and then the camera can be viewed. The setting are easy to follow.

CamHi is used on my tablet and phone and again the settings are user friendly and gave me all the control I needed, see note below for the FTP server.

HiP2P is used on my Windows 10 PC which is OK but a little more difficult to use but by trial and error got all the results needed and works OK, again see note below for the FTP server.

Note:- I needed to get remote access to the camera video and stored video/alarms on the SD card and thought I needed to set up a FTP server but I have discovered using the installed CamHi on my phone when connected to any WiFi access away from home the Camera and SD card can be viewed the same as being on my home LAN network. It works but I don’t quite understand how!

The IeGeek Updated outdoor Security camera 1080p summary.
Robust and well made.
Good picture quality both day and night.
Easy access to add a Micro SD card.
Good basic setting up instructions.
To get the best from this camera the settings Menu’s need understanding and there is a lot of help both online and on the supplied CD, its not difficult and I’m an 80 year old!
Excellent to receive an Email offering help from IeGeek. (Not needed yet!)
Highly Recommended very good value, will certainly be getting another one when able.

First time I bought something like this. I wasnt expected to get so good quality product. I was testing this camera all day, all is working like it should. Wi-fi connection range is really far. Easy to connect. I am very happy with purchase and I recommend to buy it with 100%.

Picture quality is perfect however had to send back as the grub screws on the adjustment were crap and fell out when I tried to adjust camera. Ie geek replaced faulty camera free of charge excellent service my third camera so know it was just a faulty one great service.

This was bought to ‘watch’ my car as it has been painted and scratched twice recently. A cheaper make was bought first https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07CXD4RLG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=which that ‘ate’ the SD card, obviously couldn’t record and was returned.
This camera was bought as a replacement.
Once the software was found, downloaded and installed , no CD came with the camera kit, this camera has as good an image that 2Mp can provide. For home CCTV the image is more than adequate.
For me the test of a good company is the support.when things don’t work.
Initially I could not get sound on the iPhone or my PC. A query was responded to in a matter of hours, as were all emails. The camera was tested remotely and a video file sent confirming that it was working properly, which it was and now is on all devices. Maybe it was just me ! But the support was readily available, provided quickly and pleasantly and all is good.

The company and camera are both commended and recommended.

Purchased this camera last week and installed on Saturday. The camera is small but well built. It was easy to install and the set up was straightforward. The video and picture quality is excellent and set up of the software was very straight
forward via the Android App. Installed this camera to replace existing camera purchased in Maplin some time ago, and the picture quality and software is far superior with IeGeek.
I had a problem setting up my gmail notification email because of google two stage notification. Contacted IeGeek and had prompt reply with precise instruction which solved the problem.
The camera seems robust and depending on how it continues to perform I would buy this camera again.

Nice camera but need a large hole for the leads. The instructions are poor and have had to find a lot from trial and error. Motion very sensitive but good. The dog bark not very realistic but can enter your own bark from the app. Everything else is good and would buy agai

For the price this camera is surprisingly competent. I’ve had it running for a few months and the wifi has been rock solid whilst streaming to a server for recording. Motion detection is very sensitive but this has been the case with all software I’ve tried that analyses for motion frame by frame. Build quality feels good, the onboard web interface is a bit basic but does everything required. I upgraded the firmware to the version on the iegeek website and that gives you the option to disable access to servers in China if you want to manage all your recording locally. Whether it is genuinely disabling is another thing 🙂 but all in all can’t complain. Very wide angle so gets really good coverage of the area as well.

Omg this is exactly what I needed, my Yi Cam failed after a few months and killed my sd card too, amazon refused to refund the high endurance 6 month old card with a few years warranty, ready for this, because I had my use out of it! Forget UK law! Anyway this camera is awesome, the audio is amazing and I really like the app now I got it set up. Building a wind muffler for the mic now. Mines on continuous record. Its not missed a beat. Very happy.

Camera delivered by expected date, very easy to set up using Ethernet cable but found it a little bit more awkward to covert to WiFi signal. Also discovered that if WiFi signal is weak camera will not connect. Motion detection also is a bit difficult to adjust to the correct sensitivity and am still getting random alerts even after dropping the sensitivity level.
However, after saying that I think this camera is good value for money and would consider another if required.

Out of the box this is easy to get connected and working. It’s a little more difficult negotiating the instructions to set up the alarm with motion recording without it recording every movement or email pictures constantly. I’ve not been able to set up FTE sharing, but that’s due to a windows firewall problem and my PC. It’s not in it’s final location yet and i think mounting it with the cables might be difficult…

After searching around a bit for a small 1080p IP camera, I came across the ieGeek camera. The reviews looked pretty solid, so it was worth a try for the small outlay.
I have a number of cameras set up across my home, so I have some experience of the good and the bad points of each different type.

Before I even received the package, I had an email from the ieGeek customer services team with some tips about how to connect, what software to use etc. This is a nice touch.

Whats in the box?
1080p Camera,
A separate +5dbi aerial
A (aluminium?) mounting bracket.
1.5m RJ45 cable
Power adaptor
User manual & wifi connection instructions leaflet (both written in Chinglish unfortunately)
Bag of screws, rawl plugs & allen key (for the grub screws on the bracket).
Unlabelled mini CD, with various PC & phone apps, user manual & FAQs

The unit itself is quite small, and can be installed fairly discretely. The bracket allows for quite a bit of range of adjustment. I’ve got it mounted near to my gates, which are about 15 metres away from the nearest wireless AP. The camera has an external +5dbi aerial, so I’m not seeing too many wifi dropouts via the video recordings on my NVR.

One BIG plus, is the power adaptor is very neat and compact – so much so that it fits underneath the cover of a BG 2Gang external weatherproof socket! Bonus, as it made my install much easier! (it wouldn’t quite fit under a LAG weatherproof socket cover though) It also has a power lead that is about 3m long – which also helped to make the installation quicker & simpler.

The fixed lead, which is about 2 metres long splits into a RJ45 connector (semi waterproofed), 2.1mm barrel socket for the power, and a reset button with a small semi waterproof cap over it. I’d suggest to hide these away under a cover or in a small enclosure to make sure they don’t get much exposure to rain etc as they don’t look 100% effective in my opinion.

I set up the camera before installing outside (thankfully). The supplied software is a bit hit & miss, and the android app isn’t all that much better. After a little trial and error I managed to get the camera connected via RJ45, and then transferred onto the wireless network (not sure how I managed it, or if i’d be able to do it again, but it’s stayed connected OK since). I’ve not bothered with motion detection or the other functions on the camera yet.

I also connected it via my NVR, which was much less painful as the ONVIF implementation is pretty good. I use the NVR application to view all my cameras when away from home, so can’t comment on how good or stable the images are via the app.
There’s also a microSD card slot on the bottom of the camera body – I haven’t used this yet, but it looks robust and weatherproof enough to be OK.

Verdict in use:

Daytime: The camera image is pretty good, and images are clear. They are good enough to see lots of fairly small details. There is a slight ‘fish eye’ to the images, probably around a 14mm lens equivalent if it were on a 35mm camera.

Night time: There is a little vignetting and reflection around the edges (not sure why it doesn’t appear so noticeable in the day), but the camera copes remarkably well with different bright and dark areas of the image – much better than some other cameras I’ve used previously. FPS is a lot slower at night, so it can’t capture quite as much detail eg passing cars have trailing lights etc and aren’t 100% recognisable, but its still sufficient for its main task of keeping an eye on my gates.

The camera outputs 2 streams via ONVIF, a 1080p and a lower 640×352. Connection speeds vary between 500kbs and 3000kbs dependent upon how much movement there is in the image.

Overall, I’m happy with the camera unit. If the software and CamHi App were better it would be a no-brainer at this price – though I can see a lot of people struggling to get it set up and maybe giving up on it. As it is, even with the clunky software it meets my needs.

I have had this camera installed for four months now. It has worked perfectly through the winter, consistently delivering clear high definition pictures and video.

Unboxing, the quality and attention to detail is immediately apparent. The user guide is in good English, unlike some other items made in China.

Setup is straightforward. The camera needs to be connected to a mains power supply. It can be connected to your Internet either by ethernet cable or by WiFi. There is supplied a short connecting lead – one end goes to the camera and the lead then splits into three. One is for power, the second is for ethernet and the third is a reset button. Before mounting the camera be aware that you will need to reach a power supply. This might entail drilling a hole in a wall, or the surround of a window for example. Note – it is easier to push a power cable and an ethernet cable out to reach the camera’s connectors, than to try to get them into the interior of a building. Be sure to seal any holes with waterproof mastic. A cheap plastic waterproof junction box screwed to the outside wall takes care of protecting the connections.

I tested the WiFi before fixing the camera to an outside wall and it worked fine, but I decided to connect it via an ethernet cable. That could be a problem if you want the camera a long way from your router. Rather than lay a long length of ethernet cable I used my TP-Link setup. This uses the mains electricity circuit to transmit Internet traffic. A master unit is plugged in to a mains socket near the router, and connected to the router with a short ethernet cable. Other secondary repeater units can be then plugged into any mains circuit socket and paired with the master unit. The secondary unit transmits WiFi to your device, be it a camera, computer, tablet or smartphone. I ran a short ethernet cable from a secondary unit to the camera though, rather than use the WiFi.

A tip – it is a good idea to connect the camera before fixing it in its position. That way you can see everything is working. You can also set up the software needed so you can view the camera’s output on your smartphone, computer or tablet. Software is provided, is simple, and works well. You can also use other software such as Zone Alarm, but you will need a decent level of IT expertise to do this.

The camera can be used just to monitor an area, in real time, but for true security you need to have it record. Clearly, it would not be sensible to have it record 24/7 as the data output would be huge, and would need high capacity storage such as a dedicated (and expensive) recorder or a big hard drive. The solution is to set the camera up to record only when it detects movement. It does this very well, with its infrared sensors. Most security cameras do this rather too well – they detect changes in light and reflections, birds, insects, moths, etc. Happily, you can set zones to restrict the motion detection to specified areas.

Recording is best directed to a HD or memory stick connected to your router. It is up to you how many day’s worth you set it to record before allowing it to overwrite.

The camera can be set so as to send email alerts to your smartphone, and you can view the camera’s output in real time. Thus, for example the camera can alert you when you are away and someone comes to your door – a delivery driver perhaps. With this camera you have two-way audio, so you can hear the person and speak to them.

In summary, this camera is of excellent quality, is great value for money and provides high definition pictures and video. If you can get to grips with Zone Alarm software then you will have near professional level security with one or more of these camera.

I choose this camera because of its interface with synology which it does easily. The picture quality is excellent. The camera is quite easy to install a 22mm hole is required in any brick work if installing on a outside wall.The only issue I have is the angle of detection is quite small I feel if the camera extended further from the surface it is fixed to the detection angle may be improved. On saying that I am about to purchase a second camera so this hasn’t put me off. Also the customer service is excellent any help required is quickly answered by email.

The setup is really quick and easy for both the camera and the app on the phone. The functions are numerous and easy to navigate. Its does so much its hard to believe for the price. The price is so cheap it does not reflect on the quality of this product. These cameras are as good as other which are hundreds of pound more expensive. I`m so glad a few years ago I purchased my first one, since then I`ve returned numerous times and purchased a number of them over time.

Easy to install, easy to set up, cheap to run. I used an iPhone or iPad to view and adjust settings and only needed to use the micro SD card (extra) for record and view day and night time with the added facility of 2 way audio and a dog barking when anything entered my selected Detect Zone. I tried 3 cameras and returned them before selecting this one. 2 problems to consider You can use an iPad or iPhone for 2 way talk. With the correct selection of the MUTE button ,top left on iPhone .Swipe top or bottom, up or down to choose an increase volume further.Setting to Detect Zone was difficult for night time due to street light and wind moved branches simulating movement.
You can select best zone if available. The side buttons can also be set for volume up/down on ipad and iPhone.
Support from [email protected] proved to be excellent with prompt replies from Rachel.

I Purchased this camera to cover my drive / car and was very easy to setup with phone app & the software for the laptop;

PROS:
1) Image Quality is very good with a decent Wi-Fi connection;
2) Product feels robust;
3) WiFi signal strength is strong;
4) Night vision is excellent;
5) Very easy to setup & use via the CamHi app;
6) Sound audio is excellent on Wi-Fi connection but can be tempromental with a 4g connection (depends on signal strength)

CONS;
1) Can be tempromental on 4g data but this all depends on your signal strength / location etc.

I bought this camera because it does FTP backup (3 images + a 14 second clip). The WiFi signal is great. I struggled to setup the WiFi via the app, but managed to do so over ethernet. Picture is good, and the IR nightvision range is good and the IR cutover is very, very quick.

We have them running with WiFi, so just have them plugged into power. The power cables are long. We had to drill a 35mm hole for the cable rig to go through – similar for most cameras of this type.

You can set the motion sensor area and sensitivity. I get a LOT of activations, though, partly because down the side of the house the motion sensor area is triggered every time a car goes past and its headlights shine in the motion sensor area. I’ve not docked a star as it could be different for your setup. To avoid this, it would have been good if the camera had heat sensors, too, but not something I’d expect at this price.

This is the second ie geek camera but the upgraded version with 5dbi and audio.
Very happy with it, easy set up, great picture quality and remote viewing via the App.
Highly recommended.

bought 2 of these cameras and were easy to install, using them via wifi and my wifi is not the best but the cameras work perfect i get instant notifications when some one enters the view, the ability to set how sensitive and the distance of the motion is superb. would recommend these to any 1 and i cant fault anything yet, easy to install easy to set up and the app is easy to use aswell once its connected you can download the app and view on other phones. the picture quality is very good aswell, even in the night. and having the ability to do 2 way audio you cant fault this camera.

Really pleased with the quality of the product for the price paid on Amazon Black Friday sale. Can’t complain to much about anything other than the pigeon English instructions, fortunately I’ve got another cctv system so it was similar to setup. The picture quality, night and day is clear and HD unlike my older cameras, you can also zoom in really close with the software on this one. I also like the two way audio, it records audio and lets you speak to intruder, delivery person etc. The WiFi connection is also very handy, my other cabled system was a pain to install, hate crawling about attics etc. My only niggle was with setting up my Email alert, took me a few tries to get my details entered correctly. Would defo recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to by another one, which I might do for my daughters house.

This is a solidly built camera with a nice feel. The picture quality is good and navigating the app is relatively straightforward. An earlier camera I received was faulty. A day exposed to rain caused water to seep into the camera’s innards and caused it to rust and turned it into a solidly built brick! I have now got a replacement (thank you!) and installed it and it is working fine.

When trying to set up the camera, I keep getting the message ‘Tips – Do you hear the sound’ to which the answer is no. I then get another message saying ‘Warning – Please press the reset key for 10 seconds’.

If I press the reset button before clicking OK from the previous message, it makes a sound, but then when I press the OK button it just goes around in an endless loop.

If I press the reset button after clicking the OK button, it goes through the motions of setting up a wireless connection, but once completed, the camera is no longer available, and the only option available is to ‘Add Camera’.

This is a bit bizarre, can anyone help with this?

Otherwise, I am going to have to return the devices.

Managed to figure it out. There’s a tick that needs to be pressed once network setup has finished.
Four stars due to poor documentation. Otherwise look good.
