Does what it says!
Great quality camera, it does everything I need! The picture quality is great, the audio could do with some improvement but that’s no issue for me.
Only other things that could improve are reviewing footage on the app, it doesn’t seem to show you any clips you’ve recorded even though you can see them listed. You have to export them and view in a separate app for it to work. However, you can still view the history of alerts via the app.
Very happy with this camera - easy to install the camera and connect it to internet hub wireless
Easy to install the camera and to configure it to the wireless router. The ieGeek app is also very easy to navigate. The camera access can be shared with more than one user so we both have the app on our phones to view through the camera or to control it. The area of sight is broader than we thought it would be which is good and you can configure a smaller detection area if preferred.
Very good produc
These are a very good camera. There is a long battery life and when the unit needs to be charged it is very easy to screw off and plug in the USB C charge cable. Seems to last well over a month before the battery needs to be topped up. There’s a nice little APP to remotely connect and review footage if you have a memory card installed. I would recommend and I’m now looking to buy another one.
Great specs for a small price
Not gonna lie, seing this camera at below 100 with a long list of specs…didn’t think it will be any good but surprisingly it surpassed all my expectations: great build quality, good video quality, POWERFUL floodlight with good motion sensor detection and the app actually works!! I threw in a 128GB card and it’s running smoothly, absolutely no issues with it.
Bought one just for testing but I will buy 2 more to cover the entire surrounding area of my house. Highly recommend it!
What a great camera...
I bought this as someone has been damaging my car.
It was easy to set up and install.
The app guided me through all the steps.
It is easy to remove the camera from the bracket to recharge.
Crystal clear picture, and with an SD card, you can see historic motion on your app.
It has an alarm function.
You can use the speaker and talk.
I am very pleased with this camera,much better than I imagined.
Good value for money and good customer support.
Well made
For the price quite a well made piece of kit. The mount provided has a good range of movement so easy to fit. The little instruction book provided only supplies connection instructions so you are on your own sorting out what all the different settings do. Trial and error. Picture quality is quite good in daylight but not so good with fading light, but then it doesn’t pretend to be infra red or anything. All in all quite satisfied
Easy to install
I wanted a security camera to deter burglars. I’m a pensioner and not particularly tech savy I however found the installation from start to finish fairly simple about 20-30 mins. The product comes with small instruction book, bit small text but U can download manual and enlarge on screen.I fitted a high speed 128gb SD card into slot and downloaded app via QR. The app told me the SD card would not be recognized unless the card was formatted, which it then did in 2-3 mins. I read reviews re issues with connecting to router…but i experience no problems following the app instructions. I haven’t connected to cloud just download the SD. Reasonable quality video for price..To early to discuss longevity of battery. Would have be desirable to have a small sticker to advertise to potential burglars that i had installed security camera!
Great camera for the price
Very easy to setup, provide the detail for your network and then use the camera itself to take picture of the code provided and it configures itself.
Very ease to configure by the app and the picture is great for what I need it for overlooking our rear garden entrance.
Infrared view for darkness picture is good but has the addde bonus of the ‘bright’ light activating too for full colour.
Very good value for the money
Great and powerful Camera
I was a bit dubious about buying this as we were looking for a battery-driven camera, but after following the easy-to-set-up instructions, I was very pleasantly surprised. It does what it says on the box and provided you just let it do its job, the drain on the battery is less than what I thought.
Would highly recommend this for ease of setup and operational value. Would be good though if it came with an SD Card which I bought separately. Great Job guys
Great value camera
I am really pleased with this camera so far. The picture quality is excellent, as well as the audio. Set up was easy including solar panel.
I am slightly disappointed with the range of the motion detection (although I’ve probably mounted it a bit too high), but I cannot fault how quickly it detects in range and the recording capabilities.
Recommended, would buy again.
This product gives me peace of mind
I bought this product to help keep my husband safe, he has dementia and at times goes wandering at night I’ve made the garden secure but I need to know if he goes out during the night so I can help him come back indoors into the warm he doesn’t always get dressed first. It did take me a while to master the instructions but with a little help from family to show me how to navigate the system it works fine and gives me peace of mind.
Good Camera
Just installed the camera. Payed for the monthly cloud so that I can get notifications and video saved.
So far, I’m only getting notifications on nearby movements like 3-4m. Its not catching anything beyond or vehicles passing our drive.
If I watch live, yes I can see further but the issue so far is that its not catching further movements but just nearbys.
Please I need help.
Edited review after few weeks..
Now giving it a 5star.
Played up with the settings and its given me exactly as I was hoping for.
Strongly recommended.
ieGeek 2K Wireless Security Camera - A Dependable Guardian for Home Security!
I am delighted to share a five-star review for the ieGeek 2K Wireless Security Camera, a true game-changer in home security.
Over the past 18 months, we have invested in six ieGeek cameras, covering both our home and my mother-in-law’s residence. The reliability of these cameras has been exceptional, providing us with peace of mind and a robust security solution.
The picture and sound quality are outstanding, even during night-time thanks to the colourful night vision feature. The clarity and detail captured by these cameras have exceeded our expectations, contributing significantly to our overall sense of security.
The rechargeable battery adds a layer of convenience, and the wireless functionality makes installation a breeze. Overall, the ieGeek 2K Wireless Security Camera has proven to be a dependable guardian for our homes, offering excellent reliability and top-notch performance. There are cheaper cameras out there, we have tried them. However if its consistency and reliability you want then I would recommend this product.
Great camera from IeGeek
The camera was ever so easy to set up. As was the app. Literally plug in and go. The footage is just right day and night and the motion detector is spot on. I signed up for a years iCloud which is good value especially when you consider the cost of the camera so overall low cost security. The battery life is incredible and easy to recharge with no batteries required. IeGeek have also contacted me offering a free 2 year product warranty so that’s confidence in a camera which works outside in the elements. So it’s 5 star from me.
After using a Ring camera for two years I received an email to announce that the cloud storage option would be going up in price by an exorbitant amount, for the second year in a row. I decided it was time to seek a better alternative. I specifically wanted a cam that doesn’t oblige you to buy cloud storage at an extra cost, and which could support more up-to-date functions. The ieGeek cam has proved it’s superiority to the Ring camera within days. Set up was very easy with one minor hitch along the way when I forgot a wfi password, soon overcome. Micro SD storage is seamless and good quality, the motion detection is every bit as good, probably better than the other camera, and linking to smart home software and Alexa was also very easy. The app offers far more functionality e.g. the capacity to set a custom power-use plan, to calibrate motion detection, and to fine-tune other device capabilities. I’m moving house soon and the ieGeek doorball cam is already on my wishlist. Now, of course, there’s always room for improvement and I would like to be able to set up iPhone shortcuts to give a quicker way to control some functions, maybe this could be incorporated into a future firmware update. Great cam.
Fantastic camera for the price!
This camera was very easy to install and set-up with the app. I’d say within 4-6 mins of opening the box i had the camera hooked up to my wi-fi and the app on my phone. The nightvision is brilliant, as the location i have my cam set-up is pitch black at night and it can see everything!. It has a Siren feature (which can be turned on or off), a speaker which you can talk through and a microphone which can pick up sound at a fair distance. Even a small light which can also be controlled and set through the app!.
Tested the motion sensors and picks up any human movement in detection area, if i turn the sensitivity up to 9 or above it also picks up my dog. It doesnt go off if my bushes wave about in the wind so it’s perfect really. Very happy with it and gives me piece of mind. 10/10
Small & Mighty
Camara is small and compact which makes it hard to even notice you have CCTV on your property
The install was very straight forward and easy was up and running in half an hour, for a camara at this price i was amazed by the quality of the picture i can now keep an eye on my dog playing in the back yard and never miss a delivery thanks to the 2 way speaker and mic
Not too obtrusive, easy setup and seems to work!
Have had this a few weeks now and it seems to be working well. Setup was fairly straightforward. Came with a good set of accessories. Doesn’t seem to trigger by accident. Battery is lasting well. Image is clear – especially in HD. Has been out for a few frosty nights and is still functioning. Only thing I noticed during setup was that the motion sensor didn’t work through a double glazed window – but that makes sense.

You get what you expect for a fair price
Really easy to set. It’s compact, robust and well made. I’m currently using an SD for storage which works really well and so can’t comment on cloud facilities. It being battery operated (which seems like it will last a good time {claim to be up to 6 months}, but can’t testify to that yet. Motion detection seems to work well, even in low light (I’ve turned of the spot light) and the play back work well. All in all I’ very pleased with the Camera(s). I now have 4
Fantastic Little Camera
I had no hesitation in purchasing this camera as I had already purchased one before and so making it easier to set up and able to use the current app I had installed. To be honest, one as been upgraded since the purchase of my last as it has colour night vision as opposed to black & white and connects to my Amazon Echo. Wish I had purchased the twin pack and replaced the old one(still might buy another) the picture quality is also fantastic.

Super value - quality camera with so many fabulous features
On opening the box I was impressed at the quality of the camera build. It was easy to install and within minutes was up and running. I especially like the light that can be turned on and off and within the application there are so many variations and options that give this camera a high end, adaptable feel. I am so glad I spent my money on this and not on one of the market leaders as for much less money I have more features.
Easy set up and use
I bought these cameras (with solar panels) to monitor the outside areas around my home after a number of break-ins in the area. After a quick charge I added them to the app with the relevant settings then set them to up cover the areas required around the garden.
Although small and discreet my neighbours have noticed the one covering the front of the house and have been impressed with the quality of the day and nigh-time picture quality and are considering ordering themselves.
No nonsense home secuity + easy to set up
This device is exactly what I was looking for, and brings great piece of mind for home security. It’s easy to fix (mine is to an exterior wall), but slim/small enough to not obviously stand out. Even for someone lacking in tech-savy, the software is very simple to get up and running quickly, and is actually quite fun to watch and play around with! I’m really delighted with this camera and would recommend it anyone trying out home security on a budget — like me, you’ll be very surprised and pleased with how perfect it is for the home.

Really good.
Installed outside my mother’s apartment as a security alert system. Instant alerts.
Battery is holding up very well. Still at 80% after 1 month.
Smartphone app is easy enough to use.
Without wires, it’s very flexible to position and mount.
Hasn’t given any problems such as dropping off WiFi (yet).
I’m not sure I would risk mounting it outdoors in weather unprotected location, and if passing traffic or pedestrians were to keep tripping the sensor, I’d guess the battery life would be greatly reduced. You would probably have to pay for the premium firmware access so as to fine tune the sensor.
Quality produc
So easy to install, it literally takes a matter of seconds, rather than minutes to set up. The picture and pixel quality is excellent. I had to turn the sensitivity down as it was picking up birds flying by and setting off the notification on my smart phone. Battery life is excellent. I’ve had the camera installed for over two weeks now and the battery hasn’t dropped a bit. I think the solar panel has something to do with this, even though its winter and were not getting much sunshine ?
I would recommend this camera to anyone who doesn’t want to pay a subscription, its a class product (IMHO)
I purchased my ieGeek battery camera last week, it’s great and no wiring required!
The setup could not have been easier. I had it installed and running within 20 minutes of charging it and I’m a 75 year old!
The picture quality is excellent, even in total darkness! It covers my back garden completely and there are no annoying “false alarms”.
I charged the camera with the included USB cable using my phone charger, put in an sd card and fitted the camera with the included multi angled fixing bracket to the soffit above my patio door.
The software is great too, so easy to setup and understand.
I installed a micro sd card in the camera slot before charging. The card captures the video images so there’s no need to pay for cloud storage…unless you absolutely need it, I don’t.
I have tested the security of the area the camera covers several times over this week, and its worked perfectly every time. It has a light and a warning alarm you can set these up in the software, if required.
If you’re looking to purchase a security camera! I cannot recommend the ieGeek battery camera highly enough. Its perfect!!!
Great camera
I’m so impressed with this camera its easy to put up and has simple step by step instructions to get it working. I have the solar panel so I don’t have to worry about charging too. Honestly if I can get this set up anyone can. currently connected to my neighbours WiFi so has good range. I’m not living at the house and wanted to be able to keep an eye on who has been around.
Really impressed
IeGeek --- very good
I bought a ZS-GX3S to use outdoor 2 weeks ago, when arrived it was easy to set up by following instructions on the App.
It has been in use since and battery is good showing 85% life remaining.
So happy with the camera and I will get another for the back of the house.
Very clear picture even at night, good sound pick up, and detection every time.
I have been looking for a camera for a while and have compared many for the price range, this turned out to be the best in the price range, real happy.
I’m very pleased with this ieGeek 2K Wireless Security Camera. It arrived with clear instructions in the manual & it was very easy to set up. The mobile app is user-friendly and has plenty of customisable setup options and useful features. I like the idea of being battery-operated and it does not require wires or charging cables. The picture from the camera is very clear and the motion sensor is quite sensitive with the option to receive instant notifications when motion is detected as well as the ability to view the recorded short (6 seconds) clips that can be stored in the cloud for free, for 7 days, with the option to upgrade the cloud storage with with a small subscription fee.
No wires needed, long battery life
This is an excellent product. Big fan of everything from start to finish. It’s easy to set up on the app and comes with good clear instructions. There’s night vision, an automatic light, an alarm, a speaker, motion dectector. All of these can be initiated or adjusted through the app. Everything you could possibly want in a security cam. The battery life is also excellent, mine has been up for weeks and it’s not even near 70%. The lack of wires is such a plus and it makes installing the camera much easier and freer. You can sign up for cloud storage or just pop an sd card in. 10/10 would recommend, will be buying more.
Easy to set up and very clear images, even in the dark
The camera was easy to set up and the app is intuitive and works well. The picture is really clear and is also great at night – it’s sensitive to things I want to see, but doesn’t seem to be triggered by things that are not important.
I’ve charged it once and it’s going strong after a week, with the battery indicator still full. I bought a separate SD card, which cost about 10 – I guess there is a risk that the camera could be taken with the card, but the camera does come with cloud backup as a paid option.
This seems to be a great security camera and I’m very happy with my purchase.
Great Little Cameras
Brought these cameras as I liked the idea of not having to plug them into the mains, so fully portable. Worried about wifi signal strength as mounted about 5m from my house, but they are great, and connect with no issues.
Smart little cameras with a good picture quality, slight delay in video, but unlike my previous camera, don’t get lots of false alerts. The human recognition seems to work really well, and being able to target areas is a bonus.
So easy to put up and connect as well, you don’t need to be an IT genius, just follow a few simple instructions, up and running within minutes.
So far battery life has been great, time will tell on that.
Would definitely recommend these cameras if your looking for easy to install cameras, at a great price
Great cam with a flaw
UPDATE: wanted to change my rating to 5. The flaw still holds but i think it wont affect most of the users. The battery life is really good. i installed it to my room just to try, it gets activated many times a day. battery is 39% after 23 days. considering the price, this is one of fhe best cameras on the market.
The camera is good. The app is especially good, easy to use. I just cant find how to disable night vision. I need to use this cam behind windows, and night vision infrared light reflects from the glass, putting the cam into a loop between normal and night vision, making it useless for my case.
Ease of use
I can’t find any faults with these camera’s or the app that you install on your phone. I bought 3 to protect my property after my garage was broken into and my E.bike stolen. Ive placed one near my front door and two up a flagpole that wasn’t in use and and attached them tight with ties. Ive also sent for another one after seeing how good they are doing the day and night. I’m very impressed how little false alarms I get even in the bad weather we have just had. I will be sending for solar panels at a later date but so far the batterys are doing fine even the one on the front of the house that has a busy footpath in the camera’s view. For me these were perfect, no worrys about running wires all over the place etc.
The ieGeek Security Camera is great value for money, and easy to set up and use.
The cameras were simple to install and connect to the home WiFi with the easy to follow App. The were purchased to replace a different brand, which proved troublesome after an App update after which, the cameras disconnected from the Wifi and proved impossible to reconnect!
The Wifi signal reception of the ieGeek cameras is considerably stronger, particularly with the one by the external garage, which is some distance from the router. Much better than the previous ones we had.
Useful features include the zonal grid area for detection so you can exclude neighbouring property, windows etc. It also only detects people as opposed to the previous ones, which seemed to record every cat that wandered past. I also like the fact that you can set it come on and off at certain times, ie. use it for night time security of an external garage, or outhouse.
Great value, easy to set up with useful features. 5/5
Great Camera
Great camera for the buck. Very easy to set up with the app, and with just 3 screws to attach to wall – very easy to install.
We have no barrier between our garden and the walkway, and the camera picks up everyone walking by. I had to switch off the notifications but they’re all stored and very easy to access and delete.
Had to buy the additional SD card but there only a few pound.
The 6 second recording captures images really well and from quite a distance. All recordings can easy be downloaded to your camera roll if you wanted to forward them on.
The intercom works great – an added bonus. There is a siren feature – but yet to try this.
Battery life so far so really good. It’s been up a week now and battery gone down only 3% – and that’s with all initial playing around with it.
Will definitely buy another for the back door – highly recommendable
Excellent security camera and great value for money
This is an excellent security camera especially for the price.
Had cameras in the past that are constantly activated on windy days, this only activates when it detects a person walking past. Makes it so much easier when you don’t have to scroll through false alarms.
Light activates at night and you can even set an alatmrm to sound.
Brilliant product and very happy with my purchase. Will buy more as needed.
Good camera, Easy set up
I have two of these, simple set up, good quality cameras, detecting movement from people seems really reliable and had no false alarms from my pets. So the animal vs human detection seems far better then compared to other home camera systems . Only had working a short time so can’t comment on battery life yet. The free 6s cloud storage is nice back up to local storage but the free cloud storage did not come with my first camera purchase which seems odd.
Bought for backyard birds and not security
We’ve only had this camera for a week, but for our purposes, there is a lot to like. We have a corner of the garden that is an active bird spot, but is hard to watch from the house. We bought an ieGeek ZS-GX3S to monitor the birds because of the favourable reviews and because it appeared to have all of the features we wanted. We were not disappointed.
The camera is easy to set-up via the iGeek App and there is a good deal of control over features you may or may not want. We were not interested in the night vision nor motion detection options initially, so just had a quick play with those. They seem to work fine. The unit is water proof to a high level (soon tested) and has an embedded rechargeable battery that we found appealing.
You can take pictures and videos easily.
Picture quality, particular via the QHD setting is good. I found my phone screen was not large enough to see the detail we wanted, but followed on line instructions to get the ieGeek app running on Windows via the BlueStacks Android emulator. That gives full screen displays on our monitor with a reasonable frame rate. A 75% wi-fi connection is recommended, but our camera appears to work reliably with a 60% connection from the back of the garden.
Early days yet, but so far we are very happy with the camera – it does also look like it would be an excellent security camera if we need one!
Amazing camera
We were trying to decide on a camera for a while and went for this one. Manage To get it when it was on sale too. Absolute bargain for that it is! It’s such a great value for money and easy to set up. Works brilliant and so easy to connect to your phone. Definitely recommend this if you need a good security camera.
Lucy
Fantastic
Ordered this camera for back garden and front for when i have expensive pacels left absolutely fantastic quality video motion sensor pings your mobile when activated you can speak through them even the night vision is clear and when motion is activated turns too colour, so easy too pair too phone wifi and install done in about 20 mins tops with installation put my 180 pound ring door bell too shame tbh wow wish I seen these before really do, you won’t be disappointed at all hope this helps ow and the battery life is fantastic mines not gone down yet from full had it up a week was going too buy a solar panel but don’t think I’ll need too if it’s lasting as good as it does many thank iegeeks what a camera for the price wowwww.
Great produc
Item arrived in time. Very easy to install and share with other family members. Fantastic clear images, day and night. Can highly recommend.
One of thing. I set a long and loud tone as the alert but it seems the app updated and added a call and alarm setting which defaulted to my general short and low tone so I then had to add the longer alert tone to the new settings.
Excellent Camera
Had this camera for just over a week now and so far it has been great. I use it mainly after dark to protect my motorbike as I have had two attempts of theft on it. I like the way you can put the siren on so when it detects someone going near my bike it activates and is very very loud so will deter a thief which is what I want it for. So if you want a cheap camera that does a great job then I highly recommend this
Superb!
The outdoor security camera I tested is wireless and battery-charged, making installation a breeze without the need for complicated wiring. The camera’s video quality is impressive, capturing clear images during the day and using night vision for decent performance in low-light conditions. The motion detection feature worked well, alerting me promptly to any activity in its field of view. Additionally, the camera’s app allowed for convenient remote monitoring and easy access to recorded footage. However, it’s essential to keep an eye on battery life, as it may require periodic recharging, depending on usage. Overall, it’s a reliable option for those seeking a hassle-free outdoor security solutio
Fabulous little camera
Bought this security camera and have to say it is extremely good for the money. I bought a sd card for it as I’m undecided as yet wether to buy cloud for the storage I know it’s only 2.99 but it all adds up. I had it installed today and have to say the picture is very clear. Would strongly recommend this camera excellent value for money and gives you peace of mind.
As a non-techie individual, I was a bit hesitant to venture into the world of security cameras. However, the eGeek 2K Wireless Security Camera proved to be an absolute delight, making the installation process a breeze and providing peace of mind like never before!
Let’s start with the setup process. It couldn’t have been easier! The wireless design eliminated the need for complex wiring, saving me from the headache of dealing with tangled cables. All I had to do was follow the straightforward instructions provided, and within minutes, the camera was up and running. No technical expertise required!
The eGeek 2K Wireless Security Camera boasts colourful night vision, and let me tell you, it’s impressive! Even in low-light conditions, the camera delivers clear and detailed images, ensuring I can keep an eye on my property 24/7. The ability to see colourful night footage is a game-changer, as it allows me to identify important details that traditional black-and-white cameras might miss.
I’m not one to fuss over frequent battery replacements, so the rechargeable battery feature of this camera was a big win for me. The battery life is excellent, lasting for a long time between charges. It’s so convenient to recharge the battery without having to dismount the camera from its position.
When it comes to outdoor security, durability is a must, and the eGeek 2K camera delivers on that front. It’s weatherproof and built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, protecting the camera’s internal components from the elements.
The video quality is outstanding, offering 2K resolution that captures even the finest details. Whether it’s monitoring the driveway, backyard, or front porch, the camera provides crystal-clear footage that gives me peace of mind knowing I won’t miss a thing.
Now, for someone who’s not too tech-savvy, I appreciate products that don’t overwhelm with complicated features. The eGeek 2K camera strikes the perfect balance between functionality and ease of use. It comes with a user-friendly app that allows me to access live footage, review recordings, and adjust settings effortlessly.
In conclusion, the eGeek 2K Wireless Security Camera has been a non-techie’s dream come true! With its simple installation process, colourful night vision, rechargeable battery, weatherproof design, and user-friendly app, it has exceeded my expectations in every way. If you’re looking for a reliable outdoor security camera that’s hassle-free to set up and delivers exceptional performance, look no further. The eGeek 2K camera is a fantastic choice for providing the security and peace of mind you need without the technical headaches!
On opening the security camera it was smaller than I was expecting which was good because it is visible without being a big lump mounted on the wall, it has a small blue light which you can have on or off which lets people know it’s working and not a dummy camera , being a wireless camera it took 5 minutes to secure it to the wall with the screws and plugs provided and about 15 mins to upload the app and connect to the camera, picture quality is good and it has 2 way audio so can be used as an intercom, motion detection is good but mine missed sometimes because I fitted it in the wrong place, doh, should have read instruction booklet. Alerts come through to your phone quick and on a night time if someone walks past and is detected the light comes on and the night time records in colour, plus people know it’s working. The feature I like most is on a night you can set a timer so if motion is detected it will activate the light and siren together, or you can leave it off and when you get an alert on your phone and you look at it you can activate the light and siren from your phone which is great if you see someone messing with your car or front door, this records directly onto a sd card or you can pay for a cloud subscription, 1st week comes free with camera anyway, battery life, at the moment it’s been up a couple of weeks and we like the camera and we are always looking at all the alerts which uses the battery more also I extended the run time on recording so that uses more battery as well , we bought it with the solar panel which is not yet fitted as I am going to move the camera to a better position ( as in instruction booklet ) but overall we are pleased with our purchase and other users have said they get good response from I geek if things go wrong. Quality product.
I bought these cameras to replace my Blink cameras, as I was frustrated with them have needing a subscription in order to record Live viewings, plus there as a noticeable lag from the time
The ieGeek ZS-GX3S is fully wireless, and a nice sturdy unit. I bought 2, one for the front and back of the house. They are easy to set-up via a QR code and the mobile App, and easy to install with just 3 screws. The camera unit itself can be screwed on and off the mounting, so just remember this when installing, to make sure its out of reach, but not really an issue.
The images from the camera are excellent, and the detection on it is very good, not a huge amount of lag from the time it detects motion and starts recording. The camera also has a light and an alarm. You can customise the detection settings sensitivity, and if you want the Alarm to sound or not, and can set-up schedules to automatically turn on and off the camera detection by days in week and time which is excellent.
I especially like the Live camera tile view, where you can get a live view of all cameras in one screen so you can do a quick check on everything, in one screen, when not at home, without having to look at each camera individually.
Only had the cameras a couple of weeks, but so far I’m pretty impressed with them and very happy. So much so I intend to buy 2 more to cover either side of the house.
Excellent Security Camera
I was looking for a security camera to monitor the front of my house and the ieGeek range of camera’s have had some good reviews so I settled on the ZS-GX3S model, no wiring needed as it has a built in rechargeable battery so every couple of months just take down and charge it up again.
The set up was straight forward and easy to understand, app downloaded, wi fi connected and all working in 20 minutes or so.
It’s working perfectly and the picture quality is excellent.
You can add more cameras to the app if required which I’ll do in the future. All in all it’s a great little camera at a great price, what are you waiting for? Get it ordered.
Great Value for Money
I bought these for the front and back of my house. They were really simple to set up and install. It only took 10min to put below the upstairs window and this means that they’re too high up for people to reach but allows me to access them easily for charging. The app is simple to use with lots of different features, it’s very easy to install on your phone using the QR code. The images and video footage is clear even in night mode and the sound is great. They have given me peace of mind and made me feel safe. I have recommended these to a few friends and family members. Great value for money
For the money, very impressed with the camera!!
Very impressed with this security camera, it is good that is wireless, so no drilling holes and feeding through wires. It has a long battery life, that lasts up to 6 months, and probably can extend that further if you don’t always have motion detection on etc. I managed to install the camera on the wall in 20 minutes, and setup the app and figured out most of the features within an hour. I have ordered a 128GB micro SD as the camera does not come with one, but also I opted for the monthly Cloud storage which only costs a couple of s, not a bad deal. So if the WiFi for some reason goes down, then the camera will save images video on the micro SD.
I bought this a couple of weeks ago to protect my back garden as it’s got a lot of garden furniture in it and I’ve had some stolen in the past! At first i bought the camera but with the dogs and grandkids and us in and out the battery ran out pretty quickly! So i purchased the solar panel and it’s fantastic now! It’s at 100% all the time and no more climbing on the ladder to unscrew and charge up! The picture is first class and on a night if it’s set off it changes to colour,or you can set it to colour but it uses more power! It’s got a strobe light and siren which you can activate in the app(which is really good) or set it to go off when it sees someone but it is loud and might upset your neighbours ! You can also subscribe for 2.50p a month for a lot more things to access like 30 seconds recording instead of 10 but it’s good without that! To my surprise it even works on my 4G when out and about or indoors of your Wi-Fi is down! I’ve also put a 32gb micro memory card in the camera just in case I need and catch something! For the price these Igeek cameras are great value for money and would definitely recommend them! Oh and you can also zoom im close by pinching your phone or iPad !
I am extremely pleased with these cameras, and how easy they are to set up. Although I’m not an absolute novice when it comes to techy things, I am of the age where if things don’t go right and my grown up kids aren’t available to help (how do all younger people know intrinsically how tech stuff works???!) I can get a bit irritated. The set up assistance, via the app, is extremely easy to follow and meant I had a camera up and running within half an hour – after fully charging – but it did highlight my poor wifi signal, which limited where I could position the camera. I remedied this by installing a mesh system of 3 nodes to extend the wifi reach, and I am going to reposition the 1st camera and install the 2nd elsewhere on our property. This was not a fault of the camera, indeed it was great because the camera and app were easily able to highlight the best position (wifi coverage) and get the first camera running.
The app which you download to use the cameras is good, and being able to save the videos to the cloud is great. It is a paid for service but it is excellent value to know that even if the camera is stolen, the images are safe. Although if you put a memory card in and download images frequently you might not feel this is necessary.
The main drawback of the app is that it would be useful to have links to the various “Help” suggestions embedded in the answers – rather than saying, for example, “Check that all motion detection settings are enabled in the app.” it would be helpful for that to link to the place where you can do that.
Overall I am very pleased with the cameras. So pleased that I’ve bought a doorbell camera to complete my set-up, so I can move both cameras out to cover a wider area of our house. Living in the countryside used to be pretty safe but unfortunately rural thefts are rising and thankfully these cameras are both affordable and effective.
I heartily receommend these cameras and this company.
My son helped me install this. We mounted it on one of the corner stones looking down on the front door, and also taking in our driveway.
It was a ten minute job from start to finish. My son held it in place while I checked the angle on my phone. Once the angle looked good, he secured it to the wall using the supplied screws.
The phone app is super, super easy to install. The User Guide has one of the Q Code boxes with squiggly lines that you hover the phone over, and you just press OK a few times.
The app is very clear to use. No crazy sub menus. You can adjust the level of notifications that you receive. I found that the midpoint (5) worked best for me.
You can manually activate the camera, and it gives you a very clear live feed. With audio, which is also very clear. It is also very clear at night, and it has an LED light that comes on at night when the camera is activated.
Additionally, it records a few seconds any time that it is automatically activated. To the cloud, or onto a micro SD card that you can purchase separately. I bought a 128GB card on Amazon for about 16. This will store A LOT of video.
The camera is battery powered. I haven’t had the camera long so I don’t know for sure how long it lasts. The manual says roughly six months, and I see no reason why that would not be possible. The app keeps on eye on the battery level for you, much like your phone does for its internal battery.
All in all, I am very pleased with the camera. It comes in black or white. I went with white because our house is a light colour, and I didn’t want the first thing that the camera recorded to be me ringing the doorbell and pleading with my wife to let me in. 🙂
It’s a great little security camera. Great peace of mind. And it’s priced very reasonably.
I would recommend this camera to anybody who is looking for a waterproof security, with very clear picture quality, together with cloud and SD card storage.
+ + + + +
After someone had tampered with our front garden during the night we decided we needed a camera to monitor the area. I did some research and was surprised how far security cameras have advanced since we installed our older style unit at the rear of our home. This little gem – the “ieGeek 2K Wireless Security Camera” had very good reviews and seemed to fit our needs, so we made a purchase (along with a micro SD card, purchased seperately).
When the camera arrived (nicely packaged and robust in quality) I wasn’t really sure what to expect – but – wow – this little camera is packed with quality and so many features. It works perfectly, straight out of the box. We spent a few days familiarising ourselves with all the different settings available and found that the preset original settings were just about perfect for our needs. There is a subscription service you can pay for (for very little money) on a monthly basis if you want even more from your camera – something I may well consider because it makes this camera even more adaptable and useful.
Now, after installation (which took about 2 minutes) we know when anyone approaches the house at any time of day or night. The night light function is bright and the night vision quality is good when close to the camera (further away gets a bit muddy but the PIR still picks up movement). I really like that we can manage the whole camera and various video clips via our phones and delete those that aren’t anything to worry about. We can check in “live” at anytime from anywhere and the battery life is very good (charging is easy too!)
Personally, I think this little camera is excellent value for money! It’s not a super high end surveillance unit but it is a very good home use monitoring system which could have many different uses in different locations – I might even buy another to replace our old style unit at the back of our house.
Well made unit, user friendly, hassle free intuitive instructions/functions and great performance = perfect!
I held off on writing a review for a short while so that I was able to give a more balanced and honest review. Now that we’ve had the camera for a couple of weeks, I can be confident in saying this camera is fantastic! It’s everything we were looking for at a very affordable price.
It took some time to get the settings exactly how we wanted it (for example by default, the camera won’t alert for cars/animals but you can change this, along with the length of time it records for after each alert etc etc). We live in a busy area with cars and dog walkers frequently going by, but despite this I’ve only just had to charge the camera some three weeks after installation!
The video quality is absolutely clear, night or day. We have turned the alarm off (as previously mentioned, there are frequent alerts), but the light that triggers at nighttime still activates and is sufficiently bright to illuminate our front door and the surrounding area.
The WiFi connection is strong even though our router is placed a couple of rooms away from the camera and I haven’t noticed any drops in connection or missing recordings.
The app is user friendly, although the settings menu can be quite cumbersome to navigate. You can add a second (or more) user so other people in your household can access footage.
All in all, given the price and quality, I would absolutely recommend this item. In truth, I’ll probably buy another myself!
We bought this for a purpose and so far success!
We have a problem with youths banging on our windows and doors. So we invested in this camera and share our experience so far. It’s well made. The app and functionality are straightforward. Set up is easy. Initally we were watching the camera live whilst watching tv on an evening. On the first night I got film of a group approaching our front door, seeing the camera and walking off having changed their mind about disturbing our evening. Doing that live streaming for a few hours at a time did eat the battery life and had to be recharged every 48 hours. Taking the camera down to charge is a bit inconvenient but it is placed where I can run a lead to it and leave in situ. A solar panel could solve the problem too. I have set the app to capture single images of any movement and the battery is lasting much longer. It does not always capture movement but I guess it works 90 percent of the time. Daylight images are clear but in the street light, movement can be blurred so would be no good for detailed face recognition for instance. It is very easy to review captured images and either delete or keep on a daily basis depending on what you see. Overall I am really pleased and it seems to working as a deterrent so thank you ieGeek.
Great security camera with excellent battery life
I replaced an old security camera with this ie Geek model. It was easy to set up and provides excellent coverage of my patio with clear pictures day and night thanks to night vision. It also has a movement alarm / siren and spotlight which can be turned off if required. One essential feature is battery life which is excellent and can be boosted with a solar panel although it should last for three months so this isn’t strictly necessary. I would recommend it to any prospective buyers.
Very easy to set up and great picture
Great camera for the price. Has built in spotlight for enhanced night vision pics. Easy to set up and mount, motion detection can take a bit of fiddling to get right but works well when done. No SD card included, does take up to 128GB. Get 1 week free Cloud Recording trial also.
Instant alerts
I purchased this camera becuse of an increase of cold callers at the door trying to sell things. The camera is excellent as it gives an instant alert when peole call, and enables me to decide if and when I want to open the front door. I can also talk to people very clearly through the app on my phone from wherever I am located. This also helps when checking deliveries. Not hugely expensive, but a really good piece of kit which was easy to install.
Just what i needed.
I wanted a product that was easy to fit, easy to set up, had no wires and didn’t require a subscription to some third party provider who would monitor the alarm for me. This camera does all that and Im really pleased with the purchase. I have one in the garden and one at the front of the house and i had them up and running in a couple of hours. The app is really easy to use and when i had a query about one of the settings, the Customer Service Team was back to me really quickly. Great product for the price and I’m recommending them to all my friends.
So far so good
So far so good. Purchase camera week ago and it seems to be good choice. Both colour and black and white night vision is great. Just farther area is slightly over bright which I believe chan be adjusted in future update but it’s nothing serious. Battery life is amazing so you don’t have to deal with wiring. Notification alert is very fast which I was looking for and also slot for SD memory card so completely cloud free. I will be definitively in the future buying one more for my garden 🙂
Excellent value for money & easy to set up
It was easy enough to connect to Wi-Fi, I then tested out the camera in different positions, overlooking my heating oil tank in garden. The camera is about 10 metres away from Wi-Fi router inside my house and signal good enough. Does not trigger when my cat walks passed but I get an alert on the app for my movement when I go and check oil level for fuel tank. Clear picture also
Very impressed.
I’ve recently purchased a portable rechargeable iGeek security camera, I can honestly say I’m very impressed with the picture quality, especially the night vision where you can switch the built in security light on to make the night vision colour. I would definitely recommend this portable wireless camera. The battery charge lasts quite a long time too.
Outside wireless camera
It’s a great camera great picture the only thing I will.say is if you live on a busy street like I do full of walkers dog walkers all day till 9 at night get a solar panel because the battery only lasts for a couple weeks before you will need to take it down to charge it again apart from that brilliant value for money works perfectly
Easy set up
After reading many reviews I decided to go with this camera. Very easy to set up a plumb into WiFi. Loads of options for recording playback motion detection cloud storage and so on..
Has covered my drive and front door with ease.. If I want a better view I cast my phone to my smart TV.
Easy to install
This wireless camera with night vision is a must-have for anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality surveillance solution. The setup process is easy and the camera connects to your Wi-Fi network seamlessly. The picture quality is excellent, even in low light conditions, thanks to the night vision feature. The motion detection alerts are accurate, and the two-way audio function allows you to communicate through the camera. The mobile app is user-friendly and provides easy access to all the camera’s features. Overall, this camera provides excellent value for its price and I highly recommend it.
Great value for money
Very happy with this camera. I would strongly consider buying another one to cover a different angle on the house.
I purchased it to use as an outdoor security camera for my house.
Installation was incredibly easy. The step by step instructions to setup the camera are very clear and the camera was ready to go in less than 5 minutes. Add 5 more minutes to install it outdoors. Completely wireless as promised, and the WIFI connection is strong. The camera feels well built and sturdy.
The associated phone app gives you a good amount of control over the settings of what should or shouldn’t be recorded. You can specify certain areas of the camera to not trigger the motion sensor, set alert time ranges, and have multiple recording options with regard to video length and image type.
I forgot to purchase an SD card at the same time, but the app has a cloud storage option, so I could use that until I had a chance to add an SD card. Which was a very useful extra option. I can also check in live at any time.
All in all, I’m happy I spent the money to have the peace of mind knowing I can watch over my house with this little device.
Great outdoor camera with clear picture and easy to setup
I already have 2 ieGeek powered cameras and decided to add a 3rd in an area where I’m unable to add power.
Just like the previous cameras, it was very easy to setup and install (once I added the SD card) and the battery is lasting well after giving it a full charge before mounting to the wall.
I bought a solar charger to keep it topped up (when the sun shines), so hoping I won’t have to connect a power cable anyday soon 🙂
The other cameras use 3rd party app, but this one now uses the new ieGeek app, which made setting up so much easier.
Not subscribed to the cloud service yet, but it’s not too expensive and will give extra peace of mind, so will look to do that in the near future.
Only thing I miss, compared the other cameras, is ability to send detections to FTP (my NAS drive).
The night vision on this camera is a lot better than the older cameras that I have.
Highly recommend if you are looking to add a battery powered camera.
My first impression after unboxing was how small and solidly made the device is. Very neat.
The connection to Wi-Fi is clearly explained in the well written manual and simple to do. While the device was on charge, I downloaded the APP using the QR code and noted the SSID and password of my 2.4GHz Wi-Fi router.
The APP also takes you step by step through the quick setup and minutes, I was seeing the camera view on my phone screen.
I was amazed how well thought out the product is, when I explored the range of settings available in the APP. I tried to imagine the different ways this device might be used and provided you follow the guidance in the manual, you won’t be disappointed.
One use I have for the camera is my back yard. There is no Wi-Fi there. The solution is to use a mains-plug type Wi-Fi extender to my existing power supply in the yard.
Note, when out of your Wi-Fi range, you can still manage the camera using your phone data. The switch is automatic if that is how you set your phone. It will consume your data allowance.
Because the audio worked so well, it can also be 2-way, the small size of the device made it unobtrusive, making it a great spy camera or baby monitor. There is a delay between the sound, and it being heard of about a second. It would be longer with a weak Wi-Fi signal. The delay prevents the howl of acoustic feedback. It becomes an echo.
Because of the wide-angle lens, there is excellent visual coverage in the clear, sharp picture. Some barrel distortion is to be expected in the image. The camera copes faultlessly with the range of daylight to dusk lighting. Of course, there is a built-in light for complete darkness, and you can switch to black and white from colour for increased image clarity. I couldn’t find any timer setting that would make the switch for you.
An interesting feature that I haven’t seen with other cameras is the Artificial Intelligence filtering you can choose to switch on in settings, so only humans are detected. Anything else like cars, pets, swaying tree branches can then be ignored and won’t trigger an alarm. What a great idea! It also has the typical, less sophisticated, PIR detector that other cameras and security lights have. Belt and braces detection.
In settings, you can also define a particular region of the scene that detects movement. For example, you might only want the activity at a specific doorway to be triggered in an otherwise busy scene.
If you have several of these cameras to monitor different areas or rooms, this is easily handled for you by the app. Different users can also be specified so the monitoring can be shared. I haven’t seen any other consumer setups do this.
I wondered what SD cards would be suitable. I only have cards that record 4K and the camera is only 2K or HD so any quality card that can record 4K won’t be a waste of money. A 16Gb card could hold either 10,000 photos OR about 12 hours of video with sound. Typically, a video clip might be about 10 seconds long unless you change the setting. I discovered that when the card is full, the recording writes over the earliest recording.
The device is designed to be totally weatherproof as you would expect, the switches, SD card socket and charge point are sealed in with a tight fitting, removeable rubber bung.
The simple swivelling fixing bracket should allow you to fix easily and orientate the camera perfectly. There is even a setting to rotate the image 180 degrees if necessary.
I quite like the idea of a bright warning light being activated, only at night, to warn off intruders. Almost as satisfying as telling them, over the device’s loudspeaker, to clear off! If you choose, you can set the device to emit a siren sound. A brilliant response if you are in an isolated area, away from neighbours.
I haven’t been able to measure the battery life, but it drops about 1% per day in my less active environment. If you constantly monitor the action, as you would expect, your phone battery runs down much quicker.
Reproduces colour images in the dark
This is a brilliant camera for home security use it is small and neatly designed, the set up on the app was super fast(I do have two older model cameras in use and the app/phone system in place so easy to add another model to the app) . The lens quality is alot sharper and brighter than the older models,it records image alerts just the same I’ve not had any issues with the performance overall so well pleased with this purchase. The real icing on the cake is the ability to record video images at night in low light or near darkness in COLOUR and good quality reproduction, there are 3 modes to choose from, Black & white as is normal, Intelligent colour which is a few seconds in B/W then changes to colour or full night colour mode. In colour modes the camera auto shines a bright built in light to achieve the colour resolution which if used alot I can only guess will put some strain on the rechargeable battery regarding discharge but what the hell when you can see in the dark in full and deep colours, add a solar panel if you get resonable sunlight at camera location or manually recharge every now and again with a power bank unit
It also has a auto siren system (switchable ) I havn’t used it in case it disturbs my direct neighbours so it’s easy to turn it off. Iam fully satisfied with this camera and for 49.99 at the moment of writing this review I can see this model really taking off when the word get’s around
Decent little camera with great features
The camera arrived quite fast, very well packed with warranty card inside the box. The camera performes very well at day and dark and it is easy to set up with either CloudEdge App or ieGeek App. I have been using it for a while now and the battery still holds. Multiple features and functions and stable connection to the WiFi network. Overall it is a great product with decent features.
Impressed by this little camera
Was happy with a previous version of the ieGeek Camera but this is even better.
Easy to setup the CloudEdge App lets you manage multiple cameras, and it have the facility to send a popup alert on your mobile phone for remote peace of mind. I’ve previously contacted ieGeek’s tech support (trying to work out how to open the charging cover – there are 2 rubber covers so it’s waterproof) and they were very responsive.
This camera monitors my back garden, it’s small enough to balance on the fence and no draw attention to itself. It wouldn’t be out of place inside the house either if that’s it’s intended application. My camera is a way from the Internet Router but still picks up a decent Wifi signal. The image quality is clear and sharp, daytime or night-time.
The motion detection is good, particularly as you can tune the area you want it to send alerts on, the siren facility is useful, not too loud as to be annoy the neighbours but enough I think to make any unwelcome intruders to think again, the speech facility is useful as well in case you have cause to use it.
I’ve added an SD card to give me the facility to record activity, this is straightforward to setup, the app asks do you want to format the card and away you go.
These batteries last for ages, I’m expecting weeks before I need to charge it again.
A very easy to use CCTV camera with nice features
This camera performs exactly as described on Amazon. It has some very nice features such as; a bright light, siren, screenshot, record a video clip and motion activated single photo and video clip all of which can be controlled from your phone.
A very nice feature is the mobile phone notification when a person presents infront of the camera and is easy to have a two way conversation with that person such as the delivery person no matter where you are. The night vision is crystal clear and has an excellent range of vision. It was easy to set up on my WiFi to install overlooking the front door.
Small good quality camera
I already have the doorbell and outdoor camera from IeGeek and very happy with their performance. This model comes with internal battery which remove the need of outdoor wiring. However lack of external antenna means you can’t install it too far from your wifi router.
It has a good quality picture with an adjustable motion detection. It connect to Google Home but you can’t do much. It has Alexa connectivity too but I didn’t test it.
The cloudedge app is used to control the camera which has multiple features for controlling camera different functions
I like the flashlight feature toocwhich is nice for getting a clear picture outdoor at night.
This is my third ieGeek wireless security camera I have around my house and is easily the best.
They are so easy to install with no wiring and the features of this new model are amazing. It now provides a colourful picture in Night Vision, which is amazing. The drawback with the older camera versions was battery life, which meant a recharge every couple of months. This new one has an improved battery life which will make it less laborious.
The free App that comes along with the cameras is also very easy to use. The same App works with all the cameras, making it so convenient to manage and to check any movements. I particularly like the voice feature which I can use when someone is knocking on the door. Overall for the price it’s an amazing piece of kit and I would highly recommend it.
