I have currently bought two of these, one for the conservatory and one out in the can garden.
I have merely used these for no more than a week but so far they have worked well. I have to still work out the motion sensitivity settings as the conservatory one picks up all the spiders and the back garden one picks up rain drops falling so I get notifications through the night
Night vision I can’t fault however and the microphone pickup and clarity is amazing.
I have already ordered a third one to go on the front porch overlooking the front door entrance.
WiFi has been working surprisingly well, sometimes the garden one goes offline for a bit but that is probably more do to the WiFi connection itself not the camera.
I have fitted a few of these camera’s for family members so easy to setup amd share with other family members
Tip 1 setup the camera before installation
Tip 2 mount the camera on a small plastic box so you only need a small hole through the wall for the power cable see pic 2
Video quality is really good in day and night mode
Bonus got 1 years free cloud subscription.
Easily fitted for coverage of the garden. Picture quality is very good especially the night vision. Amazingly captured an owl swooping into the garden, taking a mouse I assume in the early hours 2am when it was pitch black, impressed. Some false triggers in the heavy rain and wind, but adjusting the sensitivity appears to have sorted them. Still to try the Human only detection feature. Solid build and good quality. Welcome gift of 12 months subscription useful for 12 months of cloud storage (basic package). Overall very impressed so far.
I’m very impressed by these cameras. I purchased 2 for security at front and back of house. For the price I paid, they do exactly what I need. Decent quality picture, motion detection works ok, records to SD card and/or the cloud. Only gripe is that heavy rain always seems to set off the motion detection no matter what the sensitivity is set at when night vision is active. Overall though, very happy with my purchase!
Brought this product to improve security at home.
Easy to install and set up initially, but plagued at first with alarms, particularly at night from passing headlights. Takes a while to find the appropriate settings to get a balance. One word of warning, rain will set off alarms (as is the case apparently with all such systems)
Overall happy, would be ideal for a location where passing traffic (particularly at night) doesn’t have an impact.
Bought this as a black Friday deal and is truly amazing, Picture quality is so good I can read the registration numbers of cars passing in the street, given that we live in a close, no-one escapes my camera. Motion detection brilliant, night vision brilliant. Watching my front door from other locations via mobile, brilliant. Haven’t connected to Alexa yet but working on that one. It was difficult to set up I must admit, 12 attempts, but my perseverance paid off. seriously want another camera for the back of my house. Powerful microphone too, and two way conversations also brilliant. It could not be designed better. Using the micro SD card and is superb at rewinding events, cloud would not better this and it is free. At this price your home and neighbours security could not be better.
I have had this camera installed for 1 week now, I mounted it at the front of the house so that I had full view of my front door and side door. The installation was simple and the connection to my house Wifi and Alexa apps was relatively straight forward. I can now say “see front door” and the view from my camera is displayed on the TV (or it can be viewed easily within the app on my phone or tablet). The night vision is great and the motion detection seems to work well (the sensitivity can be adjusted). I know that there are cameras on the market that have a better picture quality but they are much more expensive. This one is of great quality for its price.
Bought this outdoor camera to supplement my indoor camera. Both good quality and excellent picture. Just one drawback – because my wall is 12″ thick concrete, I found that I had to drill a large hole to get the 3 cables to pass through it which wasn’t practical. If you’re drilling through a stud or plastic construction it won’t be a problem.
I have 6 of these cameras. For the price, I think that they are hard to beat. I’ve had one or two issues along the way BUT they have really good support. Online chat available 24 hours a day and very knowledgeable. Most recently, I contacted support, they have an issue, they know about it, they know how to work around it and they are working on a firmware fix. When you consider that many mainstream companies can’t even be contacted, this level of support is excellent.
This was so easy to unbox and setup I had it running within 20 mins using no more nails tape rather than drilling.
I hate setting up tech normally and somehow I felt cheated by the ease that the camera set up in. Scan the barcode with the app and all the work is done for you even identifying the right network for the camera was automatic.
The picture is crisp and clear the night picture the same. I cannot comment on motion detection just yet as nothing really happens
Around my way and its normally vandals when it does so I got the camera to see who they are.
Superb bit of kit.
We ordered a second camera based on our experience of the first one. I was really happy to find that EVERYTHING you need for installation is in the box including screws and a drill.
The setup is really easy and now BOTH cameras are in the app so new can view these anywhere.
Also do the wi-if pairing right next to your home router BEFORE you install it on the outside of your house.
The GREAT thing for me is that it also works with ALEXA show so I can say “Alexa show me the gate cam” or “Alexa show me the back door cam” and it does! The picture quality is great and with the addition of a storage account or adding a memory card you can see recorded events and ALSO down load them to your phone or computer.
5 STAR product or 6 if I could!

For 40 quid this is a great security camera. Very easy to set up and the 2 way audio is very cool, the video quality pretty good but the motion notification picture are blurry most of the time but the video isn’t. The motion detection works every time the only down fall is fly’s and rain trigger it I had 22 notification through the night from it raining, there is a feature that only detects humans but you can only use it if you sign up to there subscription. But the fact it has a SD card slot means you don’t have to buy a cloud subscription like some cameras this makes this great and its only 40 quid. Will be getting another one for the back door.
These have excellent image quality for the price range, night vision is clear, audio has good range. My only gripe is the software is lacking in options, customisation and certain features that could be useful. A PC version of software would be very helpful too.
Apart from the above I’m happy with the quality of the actual product and image quality.
I use this to monitor the drive outside my property.
The product was a little Bit of a fiddle setting up but once it’s up and running it works very well
Excellent picture image day and night very clear and easy to restrict the area it covers so that you don’t get a warning of every thing that passes through its Full sensor area
Overall very worth the money
Purchased a Netvue Security Camera, had a little problem with formatting my memory card however sorted it by formatting the SD card fully on my computer, then reformatted it again on the Netvue app.
Then all worked great.
Fantastic picture in the day and at night time, in fact I’m amazed at the great quality of the night shots.
The fact you can add a SD card is a real bonus too.
I already own a camera by another company which was far more expensive and it’s no better than the Netvue.
At the moment I would most definitely recommend this camera for quality,and value for the money.

Easy to set up. The app has videos to talk you through the process. I used the QR codes to get connected to my WiFi which was fairly simple. I had to go into the router settings to disable my 5G and then once the cameras were connected I just switched the 5G back on. You do need to drill quite a big hole through the wall to allow for the wires to fit through: 20mm drill bit. The micro SD is not included so make sure to buy at the same time. Reasonable price compared to other similar cameras with similar functions. Good budget buy.

Great device, delivery was ahead of schedule and very prompt, installation was easy and adding the device to the app was simple.
I am very pleased with the camera and would give 5 stars only for the picture loses a little bit of focus at approx 10-15 yards. If this could be improved then 5 stars no doubt. But for the price still a great product with easy to use app.
This camera is very clear in the day, not so at night, it’s full colour in the day, at night it’s black and white, which is fine, but the picture is not very clear, to be able to see the person/persons as in the day time, at the same place and distance, Iv checked there’s nothing blocking the view on the lens and wiped the lens, just in case there was something blocking vision, but I’m very happy with it so far, price is good to, boxed and presented well with clear instruction and good fittings. Colour blends well with where it’s positioned to, we have two white ones now front/back, so no intruder will escape unseen if there were to be one, we also have it connected Alexa to, great product thank you
This is my second Netvue smart camera, the first camera I bought was for monitoring the drive, I was very impressed with both the build quality and ease of setup.
The netvue app is very intuitive and easy to use and is a great way of monitoring both my driveway and garden.
Here are the great features of this camera
– Build quality, instructions and ease of use
– Excellent 1080p video picture quality
– So impressed it supports up to 64Gb SD Card!
– The two-way audio – great for when someone is at the door
– Wide Field of view
– I can see my cameras on my alexa echo show
– Excellent night vision
I am very happy with my new security setup thanks to NetVue – buy now!
Installed this last week and really happy so far. Bear in mind that you do need to have an account to store images on their cloud server – the other option is to use a mini SD card in the camera although I do wonder how secure/reliable that is in the case that a thief or trespasser targets the camera itself. But once you figure that out the picture quality is good, the night vision is excellent and I enjoy getting notifications when motion has been detected. I use it to keep an eye on the entrance and I would recommend.

This was so easy to setup! I plugged in the Ethernet and powered it up. I then configured the WiFi settings and disconnected the Ethernet and rebooted it. All working fine.
I installed it in the porch and the picture is really clear. I like the way you can configure the detection area so can exclude things like bushes that move in the wind.
I found out that a bat visits the porch most evenings but have reduced the detection sensitivity so that it doesn’t trigger an alert in the early hours.
A great camera for the money. I can’t recommend it enough!
We can’t see who is coming to our front door when we are at the back of the house so I bought this camera just to have on my tablet when I am in the kitchen and it saves me keep running around to the front at every sound. I haven’t had time to work out the recording side of it yet because it’s not really what I wanted it for but I will when i get time to play with it. I have put an 128GB SanDisk Elite Ultra in it and formatted it so I guess it’s working. I found it easy to set up as I have another camera of a different make but it was similar to connect up. I am please with it. I think its about 55 for a years subscription to the cloud which I think is reasonable. ( ps they do offer a free 64 SD card when you email a copy of your review but I don’t think its on condition that you write a good one I think it is any review.)
I’ve had a Netvue indoors camera for a couple of years now, and after the cars being damaged a few times decided to get an outdoor camera.
Setup was easy and the Netvue App is easy to use. Night mode is clear and can see what’s going on really well.
It has the function to talk though the app, which has come in handy when I’ve had deliveries arrive and not been in.
Recommended this camera to a friend who also had his car vandalised and he brought 2 after seeing his good they were.
Also set up to my Alexa show which was easy
My car recently had a visitor in the night, so wanted install a security camera on my driveway to keep an eye on it. I had searched for hundreds of cameras and found this one and I am very pleased with my purchase.
This security camera is compact, and was relatively easy to install and set up, the performance of this camera is great during both night and day, just what I needed! The motion sensor function will also trigger a notification on the Netvue application if anyone walks in front of it. There is also a speaking capability to tell any potential unwanted visitors to “Clear off”
What I particularly liked about this camera is that it provides a good, clear picture and was simple to set up (nothing very technical – I am an old biddy). The app is very intuitive and does everything I need. Simple motion detection and notification straight to my iPhone. I bought a 128gb Sandisk card to go with it and it looks as if that will give me about 10 days recording – more than enough for my needs. Really recommend this as a cheap and cheerful security camera. Oh, and the sound is OK too.
I purchased this Netvue Vigil camera after a spate of van break-ins in our area. It was very easy to install in the position I wanted it. I had to install a Wi-Fi range extender as it was a fair distance from the router. The HD (or SD,) pic is very clear. The two way mic and speaker is pretty clear. The alert became annoying at night by picking up all sorts of things like foxes and even moths or bats but I reduced the sensitivity and that stopped but still picks up human movement. I’m going to buy a second one for the front as well now. Very happy with it.
Got this as have been having trouble with fly tipping. It arrived quickly, neat not over the top packaging and everything that was supposed to be there was present. Was worried about setting up as am a bit of a technophobe, needed not have worried . For one the instructions were written down and nice and clear, also there was a handy short video to make it extra clear every step…. it honestly was so simple even I could do it! As for using the equipment its idiot proof and I had it up and running in a good position quickly and with the aid of the intuitive app I soon had perfect photos and videos of the front of our property. In short this is not only a pleasure to use , handy to have but essential. I recommend this product and is easily worth 5 stars
For the money this is a wonderful bit of kit. Easy to install and clear instructions. Great picture resolution day and night. App works like a dream. Its a shame they don’t do a solar version since I would buy three or four more.
The only draw backs I found was that its powered on a transformer plug meaning its not just a simple mains cable connector on your house wall – you need to draw the power cable in to connect a plug to a mains socket. This is not practical in so many locations. Would recommend for where its practical to install although if you can afford it the netvue motor based unit which rotates makes more sense for those wanting more practicality.
I bought two of those camera for my newly bought house for both front and rear. I have only managed to connect the one for the front, and I must say I am pretty impressed. The picture quality in day is pretty good. Even the nighttime photos in dark are clear. The only minor niggle is to retrieve the footage from the sd card as the app is a bit limited for free user.
We are very happy with our purchase! It was so very easy to install and set up. It connected to our WiFi on first try. Would definitely recommend. This is our first experience of installing and setting up our own outdoor camera and it couldn’t have been any easier. It also connects to our Amazon Echo Show and you can share your video feed with others by simply downloading the app and creating a free account.
A fantastic purchase. 100% happy. The image is very clear and we are looking forward to seeing the night vision view when it gets dark later.
NETVUE Security Outdoor Camera 1080P — IP66 Waterproof wifi home camera
I purchased the NETVUE camera to monitor my campervan. The camera arrived within 48hours of being ordered in a small box. The instructions, although minimum were simple to follow, I strongly recommend that you follow the instructions and set the camera up with the wifi before you mount the camera. I didn’t! 10 stressful minutes having to take the camera down and link with the wifi didn’t help my stress levels!
However, once set up and up and running the camera is excellent. A clear picture, no drop out and a secure van!
Very happy! Would definitely recommend!
Product is nice, compact and was as advertised. to set it up I had to use the 2nd method to connect to my wifi, but other than this t it was straight forward. One thing is that I did not realise that you needed a micro SD card so I had to get a 64 GB one.
The iPhone app is easy to install and works fine.
The installation is quite easy and the only snag is that to pass the wiring through the wall I had to drill to a big hole to get the ethernet cable through.
Now that it is installed and working I am very happy with the quality of the image and the resolutio
I’ve been using Netvue cameras for about 6 months now. Slowly adding more and more to the property. I love the app and the optional cloud services at affordable prices. Installation is also fast and easy with the app.
I did have a fee issues with the cameras along the way. I did have one fail on me recently, after 6 months. Netvue without hesitation has replaced it after attempting a fee trouble shooting techniques. And some cameras do lose connection sometimes. Not cool, but it also happened with other brands over the past two years. Overall I am extremely happy, hence I buy more.
I like the value for money. Good video and audio, two way audio, flexible and easy to use app plus additional services. Hope this review helps.
PS – the photo shows contents found in the box. They even included a drill bit, how cool is that?

Camera arrived, easy to install, easy to set up, Easy to use. I installed a 64GB SDXC Memory Card, works perfectly.
Recordings arrive by email, and can be downloaded to the phone. With SD Card, Live recording can be recorded and downloaded too. Updates are done at 3am in the morning, so it doesn’t disupt anything, although you can change the time to update. I am very pleased with this camera and would recommend it to anyone.
Advice: Play with the motion sensor sensitivity settings, as if too high, it picks up flys, so test it before you go to sleep lol or it will wake you up all night lol
Follow the instructions and setting up is quite straightforward once you found where the green flashing light was (on ethernet plug) and I just taped up both WiFi and ethernet plugs in a waterproof plastic bag.
Once set up camera gives excellent daylight quality but I have a motion sensor LED light next to it so have disabled IR settings. 110 degree camera angle has allowed me to place the camera much lower is the view completely covers the drive so should I have to ‘mess’ with it I won’t have to climb on to the roof (ala previous camera). Overall good value and an excellent camera. Addendum: I had not realised how good the night vision was LED light.
This is very well made and constructed of tough, high impact plastic exterior security camera. So far I have brought three of these Netvue bullet cameras for outside use. The quality of the finish is excellent, the camera lens has good wide angle coverage with good quality optice providing great, high hd quality images. Night time vision is also great from the LED infrared sensors, which easily distinguish between any suspicious movement, as you can be quickly alerted by it’s motion detection sensors on your smart phone. It is compatible with Amazon Alexa and echo devices and Real-time viewing is also possible. I am very pleased with the value ,(priced at very affordable price) the performance, and the competitive ease with which one perform the set-up, linking up via internet, on-line.
In my opinion these are the best, at this price range, security cameras available on the market. Especially as customer service is also available, via email, chat or by calling direct. Congratulation to Netvue for producing such a great product for the Home Security market.

The Netvue Vigil camera it is the best I have used, it has good build quality, easy to set up and excellent after sales service, they can be connected via 2.4ghz Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable, am slowly changing all my external cameras over to them, this is my fifth, I have in the past contacted Netvue on their live chat line and received excellent service with my issues being resolved, they work well with the Alexa Show & Spot & 4k fire tv. I can view from anywhere on my phone and tablet as long as I have an internet connection using the Netvue app, the picture & sound quality are both excellent both in day and at night.
I use Netvue cloud motion detection on two cameras and that works well with no issues, and 64 GB SD cards installed to record all video, this records about 6 days before it overwrites.
The camera was very easy to set up, I did have some difficulty getting it to connect to the netvue server but overcame this by using the QR code option. I needed to mount the camera a long way from the modem and as well live in an old house with thick walls I was quite surprised that it still worked with wifi, I did however use a TP link with cat 5 cable to ensure good connection. I also like the fact that I can link to my phone.
The only down side was running the camera cables which meant I had to drill a 1 inch hole in my shed wall to run the cables in side. I would like to mount one of these cameras looking down the front of our property but this would mean drilling a similar hole through an 18 inch thick wall which I won’t be able to do so may have to look for a product with just a power cable. This is the reason I’ve only given 4 stars overall.
When received this product and opened the package, i was immediately impressed with the build quality of the camera, installation instructions could have been a little clearer but nonetheless I managed to install and commission relatively easy for a techno dinosaur. Constructive observation on this product is that it needs to have a wind muffling sheild or something; when the wind is blowing the distortion on the otherwise clear sound frustrating. The sensitivity function on the movement detection is great, once you disciver your optimum setting to avoid flies and the like activating the camera.
I am very impressed with this device. It has Two methods for video storage option 1 is SD card or other option is to buy AWS cloud storage through the company which I have done and it’s at very reasonable price for a month or yearly . It’s waterproof and durable for any weather condition. Excellent day and night footage . Works with Alexa and word with the app that is for the camera . Live notifications sent through Alexa and app . Live stream and playback for Rescurance. Very good price. And would recommend in people purchasing this for safety around your home/ office .

This camera arrived within 2 days of being ordered and its certainly worth it’s very low price tag. You can record for weeks depending on the memory card that you insert on the card! The picture quality is also very good and I have yet to have any issues with the easy to use app. Sometimes it does log you out and you simply need to log pack into your account but if anything I like this feature as it ensures that I don’t forget the password for the app! You can also save recordings on your phone if you need to use them at a later date as the memory card writes over it’s old memory which means you do not have to touch the camera once it’s set up.
Set this up. Fitted easily to my outside wall made easier with the drilling template provided. In fact everything you need ie drill bit, Allen key etc already in the box. I had issues setting up WiFi connection but it turned out to be user error my end. Having said that the set up using noises needs to be more clearer to the user. Anyways the support I received from NetVue was second to none. I work in IT services and this was what companies should aspire to.
Anyway, all set up and streaming high quality images to my iPhone. Will be buying two more soon and also the vue bell once it is available in the UK.

I was looking for an external camera to cover the rear of my property.
There was a raft of different types of camera out there. Many of which, seemed to be let down by expensive subscriptions, and buggy apps.
I went for the Netvue, as you can access the recordings (if you fit a micro SD card) without a subscription.
So I fitted a 64gig micro SD and all seems to be well so far.
That said, the Netvue app does seem to working OK (currently on the free trial) and the ongoing subscription costs do not seem to be too excessive.
I should note that setup and installation was a breeze. I connected via Wifi (prior to fitting) and the app took me through each step of the process with ease.
Camera and app are great. Put 32gb storage in it which only holds 24/7 full quality recordings for 2 days. I recommend fitting a bigger one. Motion detection lost its fifth star as I have to set it to maximum sensitivity to work in daytime, then I get lots of false alarms with flies at night. Re the app and playback, can we have multi-speed playback options, and the ability to lock sections of footage to be kept. I caught someone wacking a bag against my car with it. Couldn’t easily protect or download the motion video. Installation is not straightforward because you will need a very large hole in wall to pass cable assembly through.
Although not being PoE is a bit of a pain on an outdoor camera, this is an excellent piece of gear and Fantastic value. The motion detection is just incredible, better than any of the other cameras I bought to try out. I have not yet installed one outdoors but appreciate that they included tools, template and plugs to so this.
If this was PoE it would be the most incredible camera ever. I don’t really understand why it has ethernet without using it for power. The WiFi signal on it is great on it.
This camera is exceptional for the price. We have 2 and must say they are really good! The picture is crystal clear and we invest a little more (approx 5 per month) to perfect the motion detector. It is the AI function which you need to pay for separately however it works without it too but withkut it you get notifications for rain drops and flys which quickly gets annoying. The sound function is not great on our ones it could just be the Wi-Fi signal on our way up but both cameras only pick up some of what we say through the app when holding the button. For the price we were not really to upset by this. We were not expecting much but we’re very happily surprised by the amazing return for investment. We feel much more secure.
Used as security camera.
Nice neat cameras. Easy to set up. Easy to use. Good resolution on playback. Easy retrieval of clips. Records when it hears something as well as sees something. There is a slight delay on recording though.
Vision and sound very good – much better than the fish eye lens effects of the doorbell cameras – and yes you can talk through this camera (if you want to)
Great night vision. Be careful to try to shelter it a bit or it will record rain flashing past the lens.
Its even easy to get it to not acknowledge the bit of view that always has the tree waving about in the way too.
I like these cameras & would definitely recommend them. I would get another if I could get my wifi to reach as far as I need it to.
Bought the Netvue camera after looking at lots of others and loads of reviews. It is dead easy to install and worked first time following the clear instructions. Upgraded the firmware, which is pretty automatic.
The camera shows very clear wide angle images by day in full colour and equally clear images at night in black and white. There is a time delay when watching on my phone but that is to be expected with all devices of this type. It was equally easy to pair it with Alexa but the results are less satisfactory. Pretty sure this is down to less than perfect wifi to the Alexa Show though. I may add a repeater to see if that improves matters.
I’m not using motion detection yet because I wanted this primarily to be able to see who is at the front door, so I cannot comment on that.
In summary, this is a great camera for the money and I may well buy more in future.

Used to cover our back garden, really clear picture, with good night vision. Bit of a give away if you want a discreet camera as the lens has a ring of infrared lights around it, which light up at night.
The App works well on your phone and is easy to set up, with notifications when there is any movement, This can be turned on and off and set for time periods. You do need to subscribe for this service though… (a free 10 day period is given upon registration)
With out the registration, you just get to view live with the app and record to memory card when movement is detected.
All in all a very good product.
Great surveillance camera. It blew away all of my expectations. For the price you can’t find something better.
I have the habit of leaving my shoes in front of the door and even if i live in a good neighbourhood my favourite Timberlands got stolen. After that I realised that there were some other pairs of shoes I don’t remember seeing lately so i had decided to buy this camera.
It is aluminium with a plastic coating, feels really sturdy.
What I like:
– microsd card means you can record and watch directly;
– has a speaker and a microphone and the sound quality is good;
– motion sensor works brilliantly and sends a notification on your phone instantly;
– app works like a charm.
All in all I regret not buying more but will definitely pay attention to further deals on this camera and other netvue cameras.

After a neighbour had a break-in we decided to put in CCTV. I didn’t want the hassle of a DVR setup with wires everywhere and opted for these based on camera resolution, features and other reviews. We also bought two indoor NEOS cameras. These outdoor ones are brilliant, super clear pictures, you can zoom in on the app and it continously records to SD card and you can play back footage on the app, the NEOs ones (not sure if same company but packaging suspiciously similiar and arrived in same amazon box?) are equally good in many ways but don’t record continously. I would give 5 stars but for 2 reasons, 1 they should offer an indoor option as I would use instead of Neos and secondly the cable could be longer for power and I am not sure what we are supposed to do with the white cables? I know what they are for but they dangle once installed and are too short to do anything with, they will sit outside the property, are they weather proof we don’t know but have taped them up using duct tape and wrapped them in plastic to the eaves of the house, this feels like it could be improved without much effort. Oh and the red lights at night time are fab – I want potential burglars to see the CCTV and they would! Would definitely buy again!

I have since purchased another of these cameras as I was truly pleased with the quality and relative ease of set up.
I had an existing camera which was useless and kept dropping off the network. It also didn’t have a SD Card slot so I’m really glad I got rid of it.
In terms of set up, I would say that itwas really easy ( but I do work in IT!). Quite honestly, the app walks you through it all step by step and the written instructions were good too. Only hiccup I had was getting the SD card to mount after formatting. It just took a bit longer than I expected so I was probably just being impatient. No problems with over-sensitivity although I have turned it down and the fact that you can choose exclusion zones is really helpful. I hope it continues to work as well in the long term!
Fantastic camera it really is it’s very easy to set up once set up with the app you can then manage everything on the app the video is very clear for the daytime and just as clear for the nighttime you will not b disappointed with this it will do all you want you can view your house or whatever you r recording from anywhere so you allways keep an eye on what’s going on . It arrived the next day and never took much time to put up , I would recommend you get the male to female lead if the camera is going to b situated sum way away from a power point . Al in all a great little camera for the money.
I have decided to try it indoors before using outside. Been fun watching what my cute little kitty gets upto when I’m not in the room. With patience it took a while to connect to WiFi. Suggest you keep still as it will connect quicker. Next thing is position and angles quite easy to do as you are provided with a little key. Make sure you lock into place. I tried out the speaker it’s really good and I took a couple of screenshot day and night vision. Picture is really clear and focused. Will update once I put outside but I think it will be fine
Only issue I had was finding the correct app but I had a live chat with support and they sent me the link. Excellent service. I’m going to order another one for the back of the house.
Product was easy to install. A long length of wire from plugtop power supply to plug to fit into socket on camera trailing lead made it especially easy. The camera trailing leads were also reasonably long. Be aware if wishing to put wires through wall before connecting that a reasonably large hole (approx. 16mm) required to get the ethernet connector through – but that’s a feature of the standard connector not the fault of the camera. The ability to scroll through recorded video also seems good as one can select the ‘granularity’ of the scroll period between 1 min and 2 hrs on the App, allowing a quick view. On that note, the app seems well designed too, with no adverts either 🙂 The motion detection seems a little too ready to pick up rain blowing past the lens with the IR night vision on – but I think that would be an issue with any motion detection other than full AI (which I believe is offered if one pays for the online storage rather than local SD).
The value of the whole product cannot be faulted.

PROS:
Easy to install and set-up. I took the wired LAN route to reduce any potential network issues that can arise with wireless devices.
Night mode works very well. Nice and clear.
Alert feature is great. I like the ability to control which camera zones can be excluded from alerts.
Camera is well made and looks like it’ll last through the seasonal weather changes. Time will tell, of course.
Instructions are well written and easy to follow.
CONS:
My main gripe is the camera isn’t yet compatible with Google Assistant. The Netvue service does link to Google Home, but Netvue have yet to add functionality to allow voice control streaming over Google Home devices such as Chromecast – it would be great to stream a camera feed to my TV or other Google displays I own. I have many smart devices of different manufacturers linked to my Google Home and they all work brilliantly with Google’s Assistant, so not sure why Netvue have concentrated solely on Amazon’s assistant. Especially since Google have a collosal and ever-growing user-base.
Other minor gripe is the frame rate when streaming appears to be low. Despite having excellent network conditions and a good 1080p image stream, the video stream is not smooth. I couldn’t find mention in the documentation of the actual frame rate, but my guess is it’s around 20fps. Like I say, it’s only a minor gripe, as I remind myself the camera is one of the cheapest on the market.

Bought one of these on my brother’s recommendation for the front of the garage and drive and liked it so much we got another for the garden. Super easy to set up and delivers alerts direct to my phone. The audio is unbelievable for the price, clear as a bell and works both ways. Honestly can’t fault this especially as we got it when it was on offer. You need to play about with the sensitivity to decidethe alerts you want and just test out your wifi with your phone in the site you’re planning to put the camera. Other than that no issues.
For the price this is a superb camera. The primary use for it is to go innthe garage. Granted, I currently have nothing to protect only bins and a ton of chippings but maybe one day it will protect something of value lol
We have power in the garage so I used Ethernet mini connectors and hooked it up directly to the home hub. I was unsure if this would work but it connected within seconds of scanning the QR Code. Apparently if the power in the garage works off the same circuit board this will work.
I will purchase a cheap SD card and install it this weekend. I’m led to believe if you have an SD card in it will loop video which is fine for me as I already pay a subscription for RING. Delivery was fast from Amazon. Had it a few weeks now but only now installed. For the price, well worth purchasing.
I have attached a picture of the garage on night vision for you to see the quality. Apologies for the mess in there LOL
EDIT :- It’s been a few months now since I bought the first camera, I was so impressed with the quality that I bought a second camera for outside the garage, using the WiFi. It does lag a bit but is capturing all the images it should, when it’s windy the microphone can get noisy but for 29.99 with a voucher on offer on amazon these are a bargain. If you need a cheap option just for piece of mind that works with Alexa, on your phone and has a memory card slot. These are the cameras for you. Will deffo purchase more from Netvue in the future.
Literally set my two cameras up today.
They are inside looking out the window until I can get them fixed to the wall outside.
Picture is great!
Night vision looks good only right now I am having glare issues due to them being inside looking out through the window.
Motion detector is picking up on everything!
Had a few difficulties when setting up the first camera but the customer support on the live chat were very good and got me sorted within minutes.
Hoping this camera continues to live up to its very good first impressions.
After researching I went for this Netvue CCTV Wifi Camera. Quite impressed – Easy to up-set to connect to Wifi using the IOS App and the barcode on the Camera. Pictures are good and the motion detection works well. Good Night Vision over our driveway.
Following the success of setting this one up, I immediately purchased a 2nd Camera for the rear of our property both now working good. Still working my way around all the various settings possible including Motion Detection Sensitivity, and Motion areas … all seem easy & simple. The Camera, also, unbelievably comes with Allen Key, Mounting Template, Mounting Screws, Masonry Drill, and Rawlplugs… everything one needs – very unusual and makes life much simpler to use ‘from box’ – thanks Netvue – will purchase an internal Camera soo
Super thrilled with this camera. Purchased two of them, one for the front door and one in the back garden. It was super easy to set up and install. As I am often away because of work I thought this would come in very handy. Specially in the back garden where the motion detector reacts immediately and pops up on my phone.
The night vision is also really clear as I don’t have the light on in the back garden but can still see clear.
Makes me feel more relaxed knowing the house is save when I am away for business.
Also what I think is great is that you can talk over the camera. Saw the postman delivering a package as the motion alerted me, was able to tell him to please drop it off at the neighbours.
Can definitely recommend this and looking at purchasing one for inside the house.
Great investment.
Great camera for the price. Difficult to setup as it only works with 2.4ghz wifi. This means if you have s 5.0ghz WiFi you will need to change the setting on your router. The motion detection is poor and you will not receive alerts as stated in description. The cloud subscription is too expensive, so you best buy an SD card. Make sure you insert the SD card before installing the camera. I also recommend setting up the app before installing the camera on the wall as the app reauires scanning the barcode which is located underneath the actual unit. Otherwise the picture quality is fantastic and the night vision works really well.

This is the first outdoor camera I have bought. It’s fairly easy to install, and picture quality is good. The Amazon Echo function is useful, you can get your Echo’s to notify when motion is detected and view the live feed on an Echo Show. The motion detection works when someone goes within about 4m to 5m of the camera, so although I can view the whole length of my drive, I’m not alerted until someone comes closer. Overall I’m very pleased with this.
This camera is great value. The app works just fine and does what it needs to and there is the ability to add other users. I’ve only put it down at 4 stars as I connection with Alexa to stream the video on my Show 5 was difficult (but working fine now) and the initial connection setup with the app was a bit iffy (had to repeat it a few times). However, for the money, I cannot really complain and picture quality is great. I’ve added a 128gb SD card so I don’t have to sign up to the cloud service. Video downloads are easy.
I already own two of the netvue indoor cameras, so when this was on a special offer I had no hesitation in buying it. As with the indoor versions set up is dead easy as long as you follow the idiot proof step by step instructions. The installation kit provides a drill bit,rawlplugs and a self adhesive drilling guide. Installation took about half an hour and then a little bit of adjusting to get the perfect camera angle by using the 3 Allen key adjusters.
The picture quality is great both day and night and gives you a little extra piece of mind when you are away. The motion detection takes a little while to set up with the sensitivity and timing, but is well worth the effort.
Netvue products are easy to set up and offer great quality at a very reasonable price, I think it’s only a matter of time before I get another outdoor camera for the front of our home.
This is my second Netvue outdoor camera, so I must like them. I am also thinking of getting a third, as my girlfriend seems to have taken my second one!!!
My own personal opinion is that these are relatively easy to set up and install, and easy to use via the app. A great camera for the price, and so far, hasn’t let me down, so I am very pleased with it.
Picture quality is pretty good, and excellent night vision, which for me is very important. I searched a LONG time for a camera that offered these features for the right price. Happy customer! 🙂
Two camera’s purchased & in use – bought before Christmas as I’d be away for ~1 week.
The setup & use of this product is very intuitive. It has a high degree of adjustability meaning you can orientate exactly as required and then fix into position using the provided Allen key. Recommend buying a 25mm drill bit to allow you to ‘hide’ the cable (this hole size is required to fit the LAN cable attachment through a wall) behind the camera rather than having it exposed as I currently do (planning to update this soon).
Finally, using the camera’s daily through the App is very easy, motion detection works very well and is immediate so I can playback the footage from an alert through the stored data on the Micro SD (inserted in the camera) through my phone via the Wifi.
Only minor issue found so far is that one SD Card (of two) wouldn’t ‘mount’ meaning it required manually reformatting on my PC but was soon sorted and have had no further issues with it.
Was easy to set up, compact and once you get the hang of it it is easy to use. I thought in my case the 2.4 ghz wifi would be a disadvantage compared to 5ghz wifi, but not so as the the range of the 2.4ghz was better, did have trouble connecting to a wifi extender, did away with that so eliminated the problem. For me a longer detection zone would have been better but overall i am really impressed with its performance so far. I would also suggest you install a 128gb micro sd memory card as it operates 24/7 and will delete your recordings in a loop once the sd card is full, guess it uses 4gb a day?
Like others I have been incentivised to write this review, but I will be honest.
Overall pleased so far. Easy to set up and looks well made. App was easy to install, I was initially concerned that the field of view was quite narrow and wasn’t 110 Deg, but eventually noticed it was just the way the image feed was cropped in portrait view in the app, in landscape it showed the full view. Although my indoor nest was wider at 130, there isn’t too much difference I need to be concerned about. Have connected to Alexa and it works flawlessly. Only minor negative was the instructions that say skip step 4 unless you are wiring in to Ethernet. I would suggest that you carry most of step 4 with the included parts to weatherproof the Ethernet connector (unless I missed something). Overall I bought this for 100 less than the Nest outdoor camera. Thus value for money seems excellent. As long as the support and servers remain robust, it should be good.
The product was easy to set up and install. The step by step instructions were really simple and easy to follow. Once you set it up, decide on where you want to mount it. It’s helpful if there are two of you – one to position the camera and the other person to check if the image or angle is where you want it. The three shorter cables coming out of the back are a bit of an eyesore, but if you pop them in aa waterproof cover, it doesn’t look too bad. Both day and night images are really clear and the sound perfect. The motion detection is good – be careful you don’t mount the camera too close to plants that may set off the detection in the wind! However, you can get around this by deselecting certain areas in the motion detection zone.
A really great product that suits our needs perfectly – will definitely be buying another one!
It took me a while to choose this camera is it will be a gift for my elderly parents, so it had to be easy to use. The reason I chose it is that the app is excellent, easy to use, clear English with video tutorials if you need them. Tip: read the reviews of the app and Alexa skill before you buy any web camera!
The camera body is OK, mostly plastic so will either fall apart or last until the next millennium. The picture is surprisingly good, particularly the night vision. Fresh rate is occasionally a bit sluggish but that could be my WiFi connection.
I’ve installed a 32GB MicroSD which it defaulted to and there are no annoying ads so far to sign up to a cloud service. Recording appears to be continuous but easy to scroll back to a motion alert.
It also works very well with Alexa – it’s really cool to be able to say ‘show me the garden’.
Yet to check how easy it is to share video clips etc but overall impression very good.
Was looking for a cost effective way to get a security camera on the back of the garage that didn’t take a lot of faff when setting up. Ring and Arlo look good, but couldn’t justify the cost seeing as how I wanted just one camera to keep an eye on things.
Ordered the Netvue Vigil 1080p camera, and was not disappointed. From box to installed and connected to Alexa within half an hour or so. I’m not an expert by a long shot, but this came under my skill set. Really impressed by the motion sensor setup so you control what sets it off. Also impressed by the timer function to allow you to set the times it comes on so you don’t get distracted by too many notifications (neighbour’s cats were setting it off at all hours of the day). Night vision as you can see by the photo (taken during hailstone shower) is very good.
Very pleased with my purchase and will probably look to purchase another at a later date.

I am using this camera to keep an eye on the back garden of the house. Delivery was quick, set-up was simple and the camera came with all necessary tools – drill hole marker, allen key and drill bit as well.
The video quality is good with good motion detection. It was picking up rain drops and leaves falling. Now that I have reduced the sensitivity, i am not getting alerts on small movement of leaves etc. Night vision is also great. I would have preferred a way for it to pan but this is not something that was advertised so its ok. Also, I would have liked for a way to specify my own cloud storage.
Overall a good camera for outdoor security
This is the first security camera I have ever purchased and I really am very pleased with the one I chose. Next day delivery, and on opening, my first impression was of good quality. It is very sturdily built and came with all necessary information to get it installed and working. Once installed, with the help of the enclosed instruction booklet and the app. (which is downloaded onto iPhone or iPad) you get really excellent pictures, both night and day, of the area covered by the camera. Signals, via iPhone or iPad, inform you of motion in the area covered. A nice feature is you can tailor the picture the camera sees to stop that area picking up motion. Very handy for moving traffic if your camera is sighted near a road. I found the camera easy to set up and am very impressed with the result. Will be purchasing another one soon.
Ordered 2 cameras, one for the front garden and another for the rear garden.
Being perfectly honest, I want the front camera to detect when my teenagers get home after clubbing to stop me getting up numerous times in the early hours to check whether they’re home or not! A motion detection alarm will be a godsend.
The rear camera is to track the dog in the very dark, large back garden. Our dog is deaf so we can’t call him in and we simply wait and wait for him to come back. This way we can see when he’s at the back door instead.
I was pleasantly surprised to see how well equipped the cameras are. They came with templates for drilling holes, drill bits, caps for unused connections and even a small Allen key to adjust the angle of the cameras. The set up is a breeze using the QR scanner and I got 2 cameras up and running within 20 minutes (including connecting to Alexa).
I’m absolutely delighted, picture quality is great day/night and best of all I got them in the Amazon Lightning Deals too. Will be buying more to extend my home security.
Bought one of these for the back of the house. arrived in great time and was dead easy to set up. our router is 30ft away from the camera , but it still works without issue. The app was easy to set up and it works easily with Alexa. We hoped to have it on our google hub, but unfortunately this is not available yet. I have been assured that they are working on this.
I have now bought an additional camera for the front of the house.
Been wanting an outdoor camera for a while now, so after plenty of research and having a look at my brothers setup (which happened to be netvue, although an older model) I decided on this camera.
When it first arrived I set it up in the kids play room, which took around 10 minutes following the instructions on the app. All I had to do was scan a code and the setup tutorial started.
The camera lived on the play room for a few days due to bad weather. I still got plenty of use out of it watching the kids on my phone and loved how it has 2 way audio, as did the kids.
Camera picture and audio is excellent, night vision is also very impressive (I got the play room in complete darkness with curtains shut and lights off, still excellent picture.)
The camera now lives outside but I miss having one in the home, never thought I’d be interested in an indoor camera but I definately am now.
I have located the camera on the soffit under the guttering outside my bedroom window, this worked out very well as I was able to mount it from the window itself and not start messing about with ladders.
Wiring has gone through the soffit into the loft, then just dropped down into my bedroom though the ceiling as I have a fitted wardrobe. It is then plugged into an extension lead I have in the wardrobe for my TV that also lives in there.
Lead length is decent, and a handy template came with the camera to make fitting that much easier, stuck template on…… Drilled holes…… Fit camera easy.
Best part of this setup for me is the app……. Still exploring it but I have set motion alerts up. Whenever motion is detected I get an alert on my phone. Best part is all motion captures are saved for a month for free………. I can scroll through all the alerts and play them back at my leisure. There is a paid service for full video playback on demand, I’ve not fully looked into it as I am more than happy with the free service.
So all in all I’m a very happy customer, I will be buying another and putting it out the back of the house. Easy to set up, excellent quality, 2 way audio, excellent app and at the price you can’t go wrong. Only down side is the amount of time I spend on it “curtain twitching”.

Well I’ve now set it up outside and had tried it on Wi-Fi and on internet cable also as I have a fire stick and Alex’s I did link it to there account on a good note it works well with the app on a good but bad point as I did not adjust my settings but turned on motion detection it was cool for the first half hour how my alexa’s were shaking the house down as all announcing movement detected at the same time so very loud lol have now adjusted motion time just night-time only it says it had AI intelligence but has not detected human and announced just motion detection also I live in a bungalow so not really got the height to go with which have now sore on the box on 100% degree spam where I’m used to 180 wide can’t quite get the whole front line so can’t zoom out anymore to fit the full garden pointing but you know overall all for the price the app it’s pretty good I’m sure it will wear off but it is fun asking the fire stick to show me as I called my camera front of house and it comes up on the screen very futuristic and fun but there again NZ I do love gadgets and I’m a big kid at 52 lol
This is the second security camera I have now installed. I found the installation easy and straight forward with a good guide from the ‘app’ and packeted guide. Screws, raw plugs and a drill guide come in the package and they have even included the correct drill bit. Alinement to your chosen capture area is simple using the allen key provided.The picture quality is excellent both day and night vision. I have installed a flash card to record movement and again the setup is straight forward. I am awaiting an Alexa Show to which this camera is reported as easy to setup with, not the case with my first camera. Currently I use my Android phone with no trouble at all. Once you have downloaded the app, there appears to be a lot of help and backup, Netvue look like they take customer relations seriously. The build quality appears excellent and I have no problem in recommending this security camera.
I had a lot of trouble setting up the camera. First thing to ensure is that you phone or tablet is on the same WiFi as the one you are setting up the camera to.
I got so fed up with various things going wrong such as the picture freezing that I thought I’ll sort it out tomorrow. The next day I turned it on to find it working fine!
The transmission range is really good. At thirty metres the signals fine! Great picture too!
This is a well made product, with metal outer and solid feel to it. The box included everything needed including drilling template and even the right drill bit for the provided wall plugs. The instructions were very good, but I also used Google to find the Netvue videos which helped me fit it properly and the Netvue Vigil pdf instruction manual which showed which Allan key screws to adjust for the full range of movement.
The camera was put up quickly, making sure it connected to my Virgin hub whilst indoors, the Netvue app was used to check the wifi signal by holding it outdoors up a ladder. Then I was able to find the best spot and start drilling for the power and then the 3 holes for the camera itself.
Once in, the camera works well. I connected purely by wifi so the extra connector for ethernet cable wasn’t used but as this is a moulded piece of wiring I had to wrap this around the camera base to stop it being unsightly.
The Netvue app is very good with a lot of customisation of motion settings, sensitivity ans volume.
The camera does drop out of wifi so at times I cant see it on my phone, but I’ve found that this doesn’t mean it isn’t working as the camera continues to record to the SD card when not connected to wifi, so nothing is missed.
Overall, I’m very pleased with a professional feeling piece of kit.
