I’ve currently got a 4 channel camera system, Operating through a DVR unit. 8 wanted something to capture images closer to the ground so opted to purchase this camera.
What I’d say is I’m disappointed I spent so much money on my previous system when I could have bought 5 of these which would have provided a cheaper and better service. There is a clear dependency on network access either through ethernet or WiFi, but as long as that technical capability is in place the system is perfect.
Cameras have excellent build quality and sync so easily with the app. The configuration is simple and digital features are perfect to accommodate home surveillance.
Can’t recommend these cameras enough, already shard with several friends as a must!

This is the latest camera that I have purchased.
I bought 2 for outdoor use, to compliment my indoor cameras.
Pros:
Set up: Easy if you follow the instructions to the letter.
Picture quality: Excellent, even in low light
Cons:
After setting up I lost 2 of my connected Alexas,
I had to go through resetting up the Alexa devices and all good again. I turned off the 2 cameras whilst I did this.
Not sure why this happened.
After powering up cameras after resetting up Alexa devices, all was well.
I checked the IP addresses and all devices had their original IP addresses and the 2 cameras had 2 new IP addresses.
Tip: take a copy of your devices IP address from your router before setting up new devices, then you can review after to see if any new device has a conflict with existing devices.
I am very satisfied with the 2 cameras.
Completed installing my first Netvue Outdoor Security Camera. It was a pleasure – quick and effortless. The camera looks and feels quality – well-built and sturdy. Drill template, allen key, screws, wall plugs and even the drill bit are included. The NetVue App camera setup was intuitive and easy, having the camera connected to Wi-Fi, setup and streaming video within minutes.
The picture quality is impressive, both during day and night. Adding the Netvue skill to Alexa, and viewing the camera video were also super-easy.
The only recommendation I would have for the Netvue (iOS) App is the ability to enable / disable the camera microphone. It seems to be always on. Further, in the App the microphone on the iOS device is always enabled whether you keep the microphone soft-button in or not – this is the only bug I found thus far.
Updated: Installed a second Netvue Outdoor Security Camera. Same quality and ease of installation. Will order a third soon!
I bought this as part of the Black Friday deal. It took around 30 mins to install and set up. I Downloaded the Netvue app to my android phone and my iPad. I found the set up pretty easy. There are video tutorials if your unsure as you setup. The motion detection is quite good. There are grids that you tap on to ensure areas you don’t want motion to be exempted saving you the time to view unwanted footage. I’ve installed a 128gb micro card to record the footage. The microphone is very sensitive and picks up voices well.
I’ve also connected it to my Echo Show 5 with no issues. It shows a clear image with sound. I’m very happy with this camera.

Only had this camera 2 days but highly recommend it, I have had no trouble setting it up , the daytime picture is great and the night time is as good as your going to get for this sort of money. I like this camera so much Im just about to order 2/3 more to go round my bungalow. I also like the fact that if your wi-fi is a bit iffy you can easily hard wire it with cat 5/6 directly to your router and do away with the wi-fi. The cameras look very well made and every thing you need to install them comes in the box, they are very neat and not too big. I look forward to getting the others and finishing the job of getting some level of security and peace of mind, buy them, you wont get better quality anywhere for this money, 5 stars all round
We have been looking for a security camera for the front of our house for a while. having read the description of the Netvue Vigil and then the reviews it appeared to be exactly what we were looking for – and we were not disappointed! It is a quality camera and the set up really straightforward . Using the app each stage of the set up is clearly explained and supported by a short demonstration video. We didn’t experience any problems. The feed from the camera on the app is very clear in day and night vision. In fact we were so impressed we’ve ordered another one for the rear of our property. Highly recommended.
After using the cameras for a couple of days the motion alert stopped working so I contacted Netvue by email via the app. One of their technical advisers, Kris, got back to me and was able to sort the issue immediately. Very impressed with Netvue excellent customer service and the cameras are now working fine again.
Having spent a small fortune on IP cameras around my home, I can honestly say Netvue are confidently persuading me to ditch my old set up and replace each camera with one of these! My current setup is x4 HIKVISON Bullet cameras, all connected to my Synology NAS. All works reasonably well, but the interface for checking recordings and events is slow. I love how Netvue distinguishes between human motion and a car driving past.
Set up on these cameras couldn’t be easier. On par, if not better than a couple of Nest cameras I have. The Netvue app could be improved – I particularly like the idea of seeing all my cameras streaming live, in one place. Instead, the app displays just a thumbnail for each camera. Something I am sure will be addressed in the future.
Overall, excellent camera(s) – whether you go for the bullet or the indoor. Price…?? Well…this bullet-style camera is approx 75 cheaper than my HIKVISION!! Made of metal, IP67, quality the same (if not slightly better). Too good to be true? Maybe – but so far, I have zero complaints! Bravo Netvue!

This video camera is just great for our pocket and to add just a bit more security in our house. We did struggle initially to connect it to internet but once you get through that phase its all smooth sailing. Just remember to choose the area where you will place the camera well, ensuring that there is sufficient internet signal is available in your chosen area before drilling any holes. The function of adding an SD card inside was also great. It detects anything, even passing light from a car! We also love the two-way talk function. Our postman had a right scare when we suddenly spoke out from it. This is our second product that we bought from Netvue. It is going great so far. Thanks team!
First camera I’ve bought. Set it up hard wired internet connection with a SanDisk Extreem Pro 128gb memory card. Readin reviews I think it makes a difference gettin one wi good read/write speeds. It’s great. Especially the sound recording. Good video quality too. Although at 10 meters, zooming into recognise a face on night mode is a bit of an ask. But saying that, think it would be the same or worse on any other camera. Not that I’ve tried. U still get motion alerts while not subscribing. Just a picture instead of a video. But it gives u a time that u can scroll back to and watch on ur memory card. U can also record to ur phone the recordings from ur card in playback so anything u want to keep won’t get re-written over which is great. I’d be surprised if u could get better than this for 40.
I’ve recently bought several of these NETVUE 1080P Outdoor Security Cameras as my existing ones from another maker were very unreliable and constantly dropped their Wi-Fi connections. The Netvue cameras however are excellent in all aspects.
They’re nice looking cameras, solidly constructed with a strong metal case. Three adjustment points on the mounting arm allows the device to be pointed in any direction so as to cover any area whether wall or under roof soffit mounted.
I mounted my cameras on the soffit as I found this to be the easiest method and allowed all the cables connectors to be tucked out of sight through a single hole and the camera mounted over the hole making a very neat job – see photos. (If the camera is to be wall mounted I recommend using a small weatherproof junction box so as to house/conceal the camera’s tail connectors).
I found the cameras easy to set up using the provided instruction booklet and downloading the app.
The picture quality is impressive as is the sound. Night mode display is very good.
A micro SD memory card (maximum size 128GB) can be installed in the camera to provide local video recording. I used a 64GB SD card which gave about a week’s continuous HD recording. Alternatively one can pay for Netvue’s Cloud Storage.
The quality of the camera for the cost has really surprised me. So far I am only recording to a sim card so I haven’t used the cloud service yet or the motion detection as I have it continually recording but so far the camera has been great. After having my car window smashed for no reason on my driveway I have opted for this camera as a deterrent. The app works fast and connects to my camera easily giving me a live stream.
Bit tricky to install due to the size of the cables but I have put them in a waterproof box so the power lead is the only cable that comes through my wall.
So far very happy – it also looks the part.
We first started off with rhe netvue home security camera 1080p,for my husbands birthday and it has worked fantastically! We can now keep a eye on the motorbike whilst we are on holiday, have used this every single day since.
Iv now ordered the two netvue bullet camra i have brought one for my husbands christmas present so now he can keep a eye on the motorbike and the house.
my mum’s birthday is coming up so we got her one two as her one broke wasnt netvue. We have had ours since 9th december 2018 so if you want a product that lasts recommend the NET VUE camera’s such good quality so iv got my mum one two.
The Netvue Vigil lives up its name allowing you to be “vigilant” via the easy to use android app. For the price the quality of the picture is great. The motion detection works well and alerts pop up anounced on the Echo Show seamlessly with a phrase “Motion detected at the Driveway”.( there is a delay in the live view on the Echo comared to the app on Galaxy Note.Set up is easy but only works on 2.4 Ghz Wifi from dual band of my tplink router,using the QX scanner. I purchased an extension lead to add another 9m. The 128 GB SD card had to be formatted via the netvue app and took a few minutes to mount in the camera.
Firstly I want to be clear I’m not being paid or given any freebie for this review!
I love these little cameras from Netvue! The price is great and the quality is superb! Netvues support is also the best I’ve come across for any product – the live chat team are always ok hand to help provide advice and resolve any issues.
Images are clear both day and night, sound is good and setting these up is so easy! I recently purchased the Vigil outdoor camera to replace my old Foscam which after 4 years packed in. This at half the cost is as good (image and sound wise) and feels just as sturdy. I hope it lasts as long, or longer – time will tell.
I have 2 other Indoor Netvue cams and I’m really impressed. They offer cloud storage which is well priced but I prefer storing locally with the SD card slot built in to the cameras.

I have been looking around for a good quality CCTV outdoor camera for security for our driveway which also needed to be simple to install and with flexible feature options. The Netvue Bullet ticks all the boxes. The ability to adjust motion detection sensitivity eliminates false readings you don’t want (moths, birds, cats etc). The app is really useful with links to videos on how to install and set up. Quality of picture is excellent and picks up well in Night Vision mode and playbacks easy to find. I decided on the 14 day 24 hour constant recording package as it at $69.99 for one year its like 1 per week here in UK for peace of mind. I also used the chat support line within the app and the support desk was very helpful and liked my suggestion for a new feature.
A well made camera for the money. Easy to install on WiFi and the App works well. Fitted 128gb card with no problems. Did not take advantage of cloud storage offers. Motion detection sensitivity adjustments not great but screen divided in to small areas so you can select the most important areas. Night vision pretty good too. Very easy to see stored video. Remote viewing via 4g or WiFi is generally fast.
I purchased this camera to put onto the side of my garage and monitor the driveway and cars. I am amazed at the quality of the camera and the picture for the price. The camera was simple to setup and by using the QR code the device was setup within 5 minutes and recording data back to a SD card.
It is perfect for my scenario here and the night vision and motion detection is great. After a little testing I have been able to record video from my driveway in near darkness and view the footage as if it were daylight.
I would recommend this camera for anyone looking for a quick and easy way to install a CCTV camera without the needs for a degree in IT.
The setup on this was simple. The proceedure was a little slow but each stage worked up until the last one where it reported into the Netvue servers – here it timed out. The online support chat checked and having found that my camera hadn’t reported in suggested rebooting my router. Whatever had blocked the camera reporting in was fixed by the reboot and the camera went live – it was also a lot more responsive through the app so my router was the problem here.
From start to finish was about 15 minutes and during testing it worked well off the router WiFi and also further away via a mains WiFi extender.
For the low price I paid I’m delighted with the weatherproof, Alexa enabled, outdoor camera. The voice and microphone work well too so it has been quite useful.
We have two of these cameras set up to protect our holiday house in Spain.
They are very very easy to set up.
I took another reviewers suggestion of putting all of the wires in a junction box outside, as the cables are too bulky as a group to easily put through the wall, so I just put the power cable through.
The picture is great and it’s a little additive watching it!
Night vision is very impressive.
Haven’t had any problems with the motion sensor. It’s only pointing at our property so not getting cars or anything.
App works well and the live chat has been responsive with questions.
Can’t really go wrong for the price. Not that much more expensive than dummy cameras!

The installation is a bit of a nightmare, due to the fact you need a 20mm bit and an SDS drill to connect wires, as the 3 connectors are fixed to camera. It would have made more sense to allow them to be plugged in so you only needed a small hole so could use a standard drill bit and 18v drill. Motion sensor is temperamental, wont record our car parking, pretty large subject image, but will record endless hours of rain. But that said picture quality and build is good for the money.
The camera arrived very well packaged. Set up was very easy. Installation was also easy but i had to buy an external waterproof junction box to put the three cables that are attached to the camera ( ac connection, ethernet connection, wifi connection ). I drilled a 16mm hole through my brick work and passed the power cable through and housed it in the junction box. Due to where i housed it and the thickness of my walls i have used a wifi extender to obtain good wifi coverage. The camera works really good and is clear and far out performs my ring security cam. Great product for the price. I will purchase more in the coming months to install around my property. Well done Netvue.
On the plus idea Really great, well built, solid, robust camera. The app works really well and it was all very easy to set up. The picture quality looks great too. I still need to play with the settings much more to get it all right, as I am getting alerts for every drop of rain that falls at the moment and that’s on the lowest sensitivity setting.
On the down side I was expecting more of a wide angle view. I think it’s meant to be 110 degrees, but all I can really see is the edge of two cars as the lens zooms in so much. I really wanted it to film across my whole driveway but that’s more down to me putting the camera in the wrong place. I should have tried it in different settings before I installed it, but there was really only one place it could go due to power and height restrictions.
But for the price, this is a great bit of kit.
The packaging and presentation of this product immediately stir confidence. The camera itself is sturdy and well made. It is connected via WiFi and this is a simple operation with the camera set temporarily next to my router. The app for android is fully functional and easy to use. Despite the camera being some 10m away from the router with a number of walls in the way the linkage is good – not showing as strong, but working even at low strength with no interruptions. The picture and sound quality are excellent and the trannsition from colour to black and white as light falls is without problem. Everything needed seems to be in the box, even down to a masonary drill if you were mounting against brick. I cannot fault this product, recommended to me by a friend and I would certainly recommend it to others.

First time installing a security device of any kind so a real novice; although I would consider myself tech savvy.
The camer feels sturdy and well built to me.
The installation process was straight forward and mainly intuitive – connect to WIFI then scan the device barcode (in app video very helpful and professionally done) and it’s done!
The video quality is excellent – selection of motion detection area very handy to prevent a million notifications – and app very responsive so far.
The fact that you can talk through the camera will be very handy if you have no intention of answering door or if your out during parcel delivery.
In summary I selected this device mainly on price and on basis of prior amazon reviews and I’m very glad I selected it over the Ring doorbell that I had initially intended to buy!

I bought this to obtain a view of my front door area. I am not disappointed! All I had to do was download the app, link the camera to my WiFi and find a good position outside. Very easy and straightforward, there was even the correct drill bit in the box for fixing the screws. The images are very clear, even at night. I was alerted via my phone to movement outside, when I viewed the video it was a spider creating a web, that’s how sensitive it is. You can also adjust the motion sensitivity on the app as well as sleep time if required. I would certainly recommend this as one of the best on the market.
I have installed this camera this morning which was very easy to do using the smartphone app and appears to be working well. The mobile app is quick and easy to use.
Had an issue with my new wifi hub as it is 5-g. but I went to my hubs user login on internet explorer and turned the 5g off so it could connect to the 2.5gh after installation, I turned the 5g back on and all is good.
This camera is as far superior to the previous camera I had of a similar price. I am very happy with this.
Absolutely superb camera especially for the price! Excellent picture quality both night & day vision. Motion detection with switchable zones, 2 way speaker & microphone, even alerts me on my Apple Watch when there’s motion. There are many cameras out there that do the same thing for 2 or 3 times the price, very very pleased.
One little negative & I hope the manufacturers take note……I’ve mounted the camera on a brick wall at the front of the house….the 3 plugs on the flying lead coming out of the camera are massive! I had to drill a 25mm hole to get the plugs through the wall, the lead itself is only 5 or 6mm, can you PLEASE make it so the flying lead can be unplugged from the camera with a little plug rather than drilling an inch hole!

I purchased one of these cameras previously and I was so impressed I purchased two more in order to secure my entire home outside. It was so simple to setup I setup both cameras in 10 minutes. It has made me feel secure in my home as it is so simple to use on my phone/tablet that I no longer worry about leaving my home unattended as with motion detect I’m alway virtually there if someone calls to the door
When I looked to get a similar system in place professionally I was quoted 3/4 times the price that the three cameras cost me but I can’t put a price on the peace of mind it’s brought me. I’d have no hesitation in recommending
I used this as an outdoor car security camera.It is a solid very well built security camera. Very clear set up instructions from the App. It will not join a 5GHz wifi router but wil 2.4GHz. I like the music differences for set up joyful for connected and mournful for unconnected. I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend without any problems.Just make sure you can switch your router to 2.4GHz. Item arrived on time, well packaged. Excellent seller excellent product.
Netvue cameras are well made and come with clear instructions for set up. I have installed several different netvue cameras and they have always proved easy to connect to wifi. Once connected they rarely drop out, much better than other brands I’ve tried. I also think the netvue app is good and allows easy access to the cameras with easy to use options for both direct viewing and playback from sd cards (there is also a cloud option although this is quite expensive if you want to monitor multiple cameras but sd cards meet my needs. The motion detection sometimes gives a false alert but overall is still better than other cameras I’ve tried in this price range.

This camera is great for the money I am really impressed.Picture quality is good both in day and night mode, the speaker is a nice touch and works with no problems.Installation was easy, the only problem was the size hole you have to drill to put camera connections through into house.Work out position of camera In relation to plug socket is wise, you have about 2 m max, other wise you will have to run a extension lead or install another socket closer to where cable comes in.
The app works really well , I’ve used loads of times to see live streaming on my camera when out and about using 4g on phone.
I’ll be getting another soon for my back garden.

Excellent camera for the money, good night vision, superb sound quality, works WiFi or wired.
I set up the WiFi it was quite easy just a word of caution if you have a dual band router you need to split the 2.4ghz and 5ghz temporarily as the camera will only work on 2.4ghz, if you don’t do this it may be difficult to connect, you can switch 5ghz back on after its connected.
The camera works remotely via the app like a dream, it’s so easy to use, motion detection can be changed sensetivity and I believe the guys are looking at the motion detection being able to just pick up humans, they are constantly updating software and customer service is brilliant.
Would definitely recommend this product.
After checking out a lot of reviews on Amazon we settled with installing netvue cameras rather than far more expensive models. Glad we saved the money. These work really well. The picture quality is pretty good both during the day and at night. Motion sensors work really well too. The app is useful and you can set motion alerts to specific areas rather than just the whole screen. Also, I was suprised how clear the sound was, but if someone comes up the drive I can be heard quite clearly even though this has been positioned up fairly high. I’ve already recommended this to a few people and will continue to do so. Great that you don’t have to sign up to a subscription and can put an SD card in to record. Easy to set up the app and we have shared it so that we both have it on our phones.

Received the camera today. I bought this camera off the back of the NetVue Home Camera that I purchased approx 6 months ago. Getting it out of the box, straight away you know that you have been looked after as NetVue even supply the correct size drill bit for mounting the camera onto brick or concrete.
Build quality of the unit is great, good quality materials used. It’s nice that you get all of the required connectivity on there, Ethernet / PoE, WiFi and obviously standalone power.
Connecting it to the account I already have with NetVue was quick and easy. Just working out where to put it on the outside of my house for the best view is going to be the killer, but that’s down to the layout of my house.
Picture quality is great and the night vision is pretty clear too.
All in all a great product for the low cost, and I would highly recommend these to someone who doesn’t want to have proper CCTV cabling installed.

I’ve had cctv around the house for ten years or so now. I started with the traditional DVR and SD cameras. I then changed my cctv system to a cloud based system which was ok until the cameras went blurry. I’ve now upgraded again to these Netvue outdoor IP rated cameras and our cctv has never been so clear or accessible.
The app is very useful as it has our Vuebell video door bell and all the cameras on one app. What makes this system the best so far is that all the cameras are crystal clear as is the two way communication.
Unlike the Ring video doorbell I originally purchased the Vuebell connects instantly as do the cameras.
Due to the clarity of the cameras three of my friends have now purchased these cameras themselves.
I have a large Koi pond in my garden and I wanted to keep an eye on it while I was away on holiday. Bought these cameras as they were on offer. In summary, amazing bits of kit!
The picture quality is great. Using the phone app I can even zoom in on certain areas for a closer look.
You can lock out certain areas from motion detection with a tap of a finger. I locked out a roof top area where many birds like to land so as to stop the camera being triggered by them.
The night vision works a treat. Clear picture and very easy to make out features or things you want to look at.
The motion detection sensitivity takes a little bit of fiddling to get it just right but once it’s set you’re good to go.
I have my two cameras connected to my Echo Show so can easily check outside at any point by just asking Alexa!
Definitely worth the money and I will be buying one more soon to cover the other part of my garden.

I have installed two Vigil Outdoor camera in my house last week and so far quite pleased with it’s performance. Having used some other generic security camera in past I wanted to use Netvue as it works with Alexa.
The camera feels robust and very well built and decent size (Not too big not too small). It is clearly visible on the wall which would help deter some potential intruder anyway.
Set up was fairly straightforward through the app (available on Play and Appstore). I initially had some difficulty ‘Bonding’ the camera with the phone and ‘Server’ with one of the cameras, but after couple of reset and power cycles it rectified itself.
The picture quality is very good, You have the option to make it HD which gives you even crispier image, but I guess it may affect the band width.
Night vision (infra red) is moderate quality. It might be difficult to recognize faces if you needed to. Subjects closer to camera appear much brighter (even totally white), but I guess that’s how infra red works.
Motion detection is bit over sensitive. You get alert for wind blowing or sun getting dimmer when cloud passing over.
Video are stored locally on SD card and can be played back with options to choose date and time for playback.
I have not had to contact CS so far and am quite pleased with its performance.
Pro:
– Affordable price with lots of functions.
– Robust build quality and decent size camera
– Straightforward set up and ‘Bonding’ with phone /server
– Good day time picture quality. Night time image is bit of hit and miss.
– Motion detection alerts to your phone. Although it is too sensitive. (Hope updates coming soon.)
– Two way communication does work, but has slight delay (inevitable I guess). You can have some fun with the burglar!
– Share and control video stream with friend and family (through Netvue App)
Cons:
– Motion detection too sensitive. (triggered by shades, brightness and ?possibly noise too?)
– Microphone on the camera is too sensitive. Picks up lot of wind noise.
– Only works on 2.5 GHz WiFi
I was so happy with it that I recommended and bought 2 more Vigil for my sister in law and installed them in her house too. Now we share our home-security video stream! Keeping an eye (four cameras) on each others houses!

I’ve bought 3 of these now having bought one first for a trial for wi-fi coverage. I get less than a 50% signal on all 3 and the cameras still work fine giving good images. I’m with BT and found it easier to connect to WiFi using the QR code option rather than the default method. The installation app generates a QR code and you just place it in front of the camera to read. The black waterproof junction 85mm boxes (also on Amazon) are used to protect the camera cables. This means you only have to drill a small hole through the wall for the power cable and into the back of the junction box. The power cable is about 3 metres and a good length. Use the black cap protecting the aerial socket to put over the power cable and protect it as you thread it through the wall. The app is good and simple to use and you can view the cameras over Alexa show and on your mobile phone. I found installation fairly easy using the QR generated code and its a good value peace of mind security solution.
Love this camera. I search around for a while and found the vigil from Netvue. Easy to set up, a couple of ding dongs and around of applause that comes from the speaker and it’s done. Once set up I mounted it outside overlooking the back gates to keep an eye on the cars. So far I have spotted a magpie flying toward it, the in-laws watering the garden while we were on holiday and the next door neighbour flinging cat poo onto the drive… wondered where that had been coming from!!
With an SD card in I have about 10 days on a loop, managed to catch some suspicious behaviour when a neighbour mentioned it, great feature
The two way speaker is a nifty addition, love catching people out as the motion alert goes off and my voice booms down to them love it so much, I now have two. At 40 a piece they are just the ticket. Go on stick it in your baske
Great first time camera easy to set up on the app it as gives you a step by step guide. It also comes with the drill bit needed to put the camera up. Im not technically minded at all and if I can do it anyone can I would say an ethernet cable gives you better internet connection depending on how far away your camera is from your wifi router but that’s not included in the pack.
Although I initially changed from a 5 to a poor one star review because of various issues with the support team trying to blame my Wi-Fi for a failure that was really a camera fault. The reality is that this camera product does capture every movement that occurs with good quality images, and it does warn you of a possible intruders in the detection zone through Alexa. OK, it still goes offline occasionally currently, and then support should quite quickly breathe life back into it when called. But this is a firmware issue which they will definitely fix hopefully soon, and its better priced than all the other big brand names that don’t work with Alexa. So I’m upping to 4 stars until the firmware is fixed then maybe 5.
Excellent camera and very easy to set up… After I worked out why it wasn’t working. Originally it would not link to my 2.4/5ghz dual band WiFi. The app had a great deal of info for troubleshooting and the support chat was excellent. As it wasn’t connecting for me they sent a solution to get an update through but still wasn’t working. After a while I worked out that the wireless mesh network in my house was a little adva ced for the WiFi card in the camera. Once I’d turned off the advanced features on my home WiFi (not needed for me really) it linked really well and was easy to install!
I bought 2 cameras and they arrived very quickly. Setting up was very easy, following the Netvue app instructions and in a very short time I could monitor the camera feed on my phone. Very good value and impressive looking camera which I think should deter burglars. Picture is very good on the phone. The leads do make it difficult to route through a wall as the ethernet connector is 2cms which is a sizable hole to drill. Would be better if a single lead could be connected up the other side of the wall. Overall very pleased, especially at the low price. Note that the Micro SD card must be purchased separately.
This security camera provides a very good picture in both dark and light conditions. The motion sensor reacts as expected and links well with Alexa to receive warnings when activated. The accompanying phone app is simple and easy to use.
The only negative I can see is that the camera cable is on the large side. The cable splits in to 3 (2 inputs and a wireless button activator) which requires a large hole in the wall to feed through. I feel this could have been designed better to allow for a smaller hole.
I would still recommend this camera to others despite the one negative mentioned above.
I have now bought two (2) 1080p Outdoor Security Cameras by Netvue through Amazon, and plan to buy a further one (1) to complete my exterior security system. I bought this product after careful consideration and research on the net. I have had these a number of weeks and can now share my experience. So far the product has been excellent, basically it does what is says on the tin. The picture quality is excellent, features and app are easy to use, and to date no problems. The installation was no problem took ten (10) minutes once I bound it using the correct WiFi frequency, 2.4GHz. The units cover my exterior doors and blend in to the background. I had a couple of questions after I set them up, these were dealt with swiftly by the online support. Value for money I would give 10/10 and have been recommending the cameras to my family and friends (they too were impressed with the picture quality), in fact my son has now bought one.
It’s my first security camera and I’m very pleased with it.
Good points:
Installation: easy enough to do, aids there to use which are very useful.
Setup: easy as downloading an App and scanning the QR code and walla.
Picture quality: extremely clear (see picture)
Sound quality: 5 star very clear and the microphone is very good, can. Easily hear the birds from back of the house.
Bad points:
Only one really, due to the antenna being quite large it can get slightly in the way. As Ive place mine on the side of the house and placed it at a 90 degree angle. I wasnt able to quite the picture level. Maybe if the antenna was attached lower down on the bracket say. Then there be no problem.
Overall very impressed for such a cheap camera and I’ll be definitely recommending them to family and friends.
I’ve had this installed about a month and it’s far superior to a previous make I had. I’ve had teething problems with it but most resolved now. Easy to set up and the associated App is easy to use. Only issue is that even on the lowest sensitivity setting the motion detection is very sensitive. However I received a blanket email this morning informing me that the is an imminent upgrade to resolve this issue as this issue had been raised by a number of other customers. Overall I’m very pleased with the camera.
I recently brought the HomeCam Indoor secuirty cam from the same seller last month and had a few problems with it and these got resolved really well and rapidly because of this i decided to buy a new camera for the outside secuirty of my house.
This camera was very easy to set-up with fantastic packagin. It was simple enough to pair with my Wi-Fi connection by following the simple instructions given on the app (it is worth noting that these camera’s doesn’t work on 5Ghz signal so if you have this problem you need to go into your router settings and enable 2.4Ghz signal) hanging the camera on the wall was easy to do also with the included stencil to help you line up where you need to drill the holes in the wall.
Overall with this camera i am really happy with it and would recommend this to anyone!
I have been thinking about getting security camera for some time and after much deliberation I chose Netvue Vigil. I have had the camera for a few weeks now and I’m very pleased with my purchase.
The setup is a relatively straightforward process using the smart phone app. You have the option of wireless or wired network connection which is really dependant on the strength of your wireless signal.
The quality of the footage is very good and I am especially impressed with the video captured at night. The option to download clips or stills to your phone is very useful. I also like the fact that you can link Netvue to your Amazon Alexa account — so you can view the output on your tv should you wish!
I would definitely recommend.
Great value cameras, especially if you buy on discount days. Picture is great, two way audio very useful as is Alexa integration to show the various views on a fire tv or echo show etc. Only one issue I have is that there doesn’t appear to be a cloud storage option for a group of cameras and you have to purchase a subscription for each which can be expensive imo. That said you can insert a Micro SD and record that way.
Have now purchased numerous Netvue cameras for us, neighbours and family members.
We use this outdoor one for covering our entire driveway and the garden gates. Very useful for keeping an eye on the house, cars, garden and pets…
Best mounted high to avoid tampering, also unless you have the cloud back up for storage, as with only an SD card as back up, any thief getting their hands on it will take the evidence with them!
This is a brilliant camera, we are very impressed as this is mounted on the relevant side of our house in the dormer attic window on the second floor (G, 1, 2) for ease of connection. The night vision is clear also a spider currently seems attracted to it for web building which is giving numerous motion alerts!
Motion detection is proving tricky for us to refine as although the camera cannot see the road, it picks up the headlights shining into the driveway every time a car goes past. This is also creating motion alerts, but we hope to fine tune it (only had it a week).
As with all NetVue products the app is easy to use, the motion detection areas is in 12 zones on a grid to (hopefully) prevent unnecessary alerts (!) and the sound is very clear and even two floors down on ground level, the microphone can speak to someone in the garden.
I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because we are struggling with the motion sensitivity with passing headlights.
Very good value.
When an external pan and tilt camera option becomes available it will perfect the NetVue range.
The install for the camera is relatively easy for a typical DIY person. It does require power in the form of a plug or feed from a CCTV box if chosen. The picture and audio quality on the camera are excellent with just a small delay on audio which is likely the fault of wifi on its part. The motion detection can be very sensitive so takes some playing around with to set up to your liking but this is a good thing as I see it. I will be buying another camera to cover all aspects of the house. The ability to add an SD card for continuous recording saves on cost as it can replace the subscription service available, although I have had to reformat the card a couple of times due to a fault – not sure if this is with the card or how the camera uses it.
The camera has a good quality lens and is easy to set up. The problem comes with motion detection. During the day it constantly sends alerts based on noise rather than motion. Even though I set it up with just one square area of motion detection it still picks up loud noises when cars go past. I set in on the minimum sensitivity but it doesn’t seem to make any difference.
At night the problem was the opposite – initially there was no motion detection as soon as it was dark although after a couple of weeks of emails back and forth to support they sent through new firmware which resolved this problem.
The quality of the recording is excellent.
If they could find a way of reducing the sensitivity to sound this would improve the camera 100%. Even if you could turn off the detection of sound that would work.
To be fair the customer support is very good.
Update – the customer support team are brilliant – they respond within hours and do everything they can so resolve problems. The motion detection issue is now with their research team and I am confident that they will come up with a solution to the sensitivity issue very quickly.

This is my third Netvue purchase, the first being a Vuebell. I am really pleased with this product, the body of the camera is solid and mounted on a articulate arm, included in the box along with the camera was an allen key so you can adjust the angle of the arm and a masonry drill bit. One has the option of connecting the camera to the network via WiFi or LAN. Setup was really easy, it only took a couple of minutes. The picture quality is superb and the microphone is amazing, I have my camera mounted at 18 feet just under the eves of the roof and the mic can pick up sound clearly 30 feet away. I have not installed a microSD card at I use netvue’s cloud service which I find great value. I currently have the camera hooked up via WiFi but it is my intention to use LAN. My only quibble it that the camera is not PoE.
All in all a great camera
We are using this product to detect people on our driveway. We already have a camera in the house and this just gave us the added level of security.
We were so impressed how easy it was to install this camera – it has fabulous night vision, the only thing we had to adjust was the direction it was pointing in as we found passing headlights and people were setting it off. The picture quality is great. I like the fact I can just ask Alexa to show me the drive and she does!!!
I am always hesitant when products say they are so easy to set up but I can honestly say we had this camera set up in a few minutes using the app on the phone and had it installed and working so quickly. Really impressed.
Excellent camera. Was very dubious about a wifi security camera however its brilliant. I was sceptical of the signal and thought I’d have issues with the wifi signal dropping out. So far so good. I have put a 64GB card in the camera which is perfect. The camera keeps a constant recording so you can always go back to motion detection moments.
I have the camera mounted on my soffit and its plugged in to a socket in my loft. I thought the microphone and speaker were going to be a waste of time but i can clearly hear anyone talking at my front door. Perfect as a deterrent and the night vision is a good quality.
Easy to set up and works really well with Alexa on the TV.
Absolute bargain if you ask me.
I have a cam in my home there work really well and its just easy to set up and all. I got this one for my back way as there have been some crimes in some other back ways so just like the fact its keeping a eye on my home while i go to work
Pros easy to set up and helpful app
Cons just can cut out some times for no reson and picture can be a bit hard to see sometimes but that could be times of the day
Would get other one for my front way aswell
This is an additional Netvue camera as my son has already fitted a Netvue Interior camera for me, and I wanted an external camera for my front drive. These cameras are so simple to set up, picture quality is fantastic, especially in daylight and sound is good, although wind noise is loud on a breezy day. You can set up areas that you want the motion detection to monitor, which stops most false alerts.
The Android app is quick to connect and changing between the cameras is fast and easy. I am using a memory cards which allow the camera to record continually, you can also subscribe to motion activation cloud-based video, for peace of mind.
Communication with Netvue customer service is quick, with emails being replied to in less than 24 hours.
Overall this is a great camera, great quality and features, a good customer support and for the price you cant go wrong.
Thanks

Easy to install and setup, make sure you put micro sd card in so you can access past recordings without need to buy cloud storage and make sure (perhaps by wifi range extenders) that your outdoor camera has good wifi signal.
The good: press to talk and over all live streaming and backlog browsing work quite well.
The bad: motion detection is imperfect.
In the mix cloud windy day will detect sun shades as motion a lot!
At night in IR in rainy day is prone to false positives (detects rain drops or snow flakes), practically useless so I switched off infra red and rely on PIR lamp to detect motion outdoor.
The ugly: not having PC web interface and relying on smartphone is annoying for me but perhaps not a deal breaker
I am very demanding about this but actually overall pleased esp for the price.

We brought this so that we could see visitors arrive on our drive. Although on the front of our bungalow, the view is obscured by a wall. Like others, I fitted it on the soffit and passed the power and ethernet cables through and across the loft space. The power lead length is adequate, and you can’t satisfy everyone. My opinion is that an extra metre or two won’t go amiss. I had to run an extension lead.
The daylight image is good. The night time image is OK, but we have LED street lighting which is a big help. It would be difficult to identify an intruder unless they are close to the camera.
It was straightforward to fit and works with the app, and Amazon Ecbo, as advertised.
Overall, we are satisfied with it. It does what we want. We don’t have any security issues, but it is a deterent.
I bought this camera soon after my purchase of the indoor IP camera model from the same company, and the quality of the product is just as good. It feels like a premium product. The product arrived well packaged in high quality materials. the camera itself was well protected and has a metal body, with a decent length of cable and grommet for fitting.
It also comes with a UK mains power plug and even a drill bit to help with fixing to the wall! fixings were also included which was a nice touch.
The picture quality is excellent and gives wide coverage. The app is also simple and easy to use (same as for the other camera). The only thing to remember is that it must be on a 2.4g wifi network, which a lot still are (mine is anyway).
Very happy with my purchase and recommend for use.
The installation is very easy with a step by step process and once installed, other than adjusting it’s position the default settings for motion detect etc. are spot on.
I would recommend subscribing to the cloud service as this is only $5.00 a month and can be setup to auto renew each month. This gives you 14 day recording 24/7 before starting over again. In simple terms you can view any recording in the last 14 days at any time.
You can view the camera through the App from anywhere as long as you have internet access and there is a useful speak button to warn intruders that you can see them after the app has alerted you to a motion detect.
I am very happy with this purchase and have already ordered another.
Bought this for security outside the front of the house. I have the netvue indoor cam for the nursery which is faultless. So decided to stick with same brand as have it all on one app. The app ain’t the best but it works well for a basic viewer. My camera is about 10m from the router and hasn’t dropped connection since fitting last week. Night mode is ok, it’s mounted so high wasnt expecting to much but it’s good for the distance and shows my whole front garden.
Give it 4 stars because you can only use netvue app to view the camera
