Very easy to use does as described Happy with purchase
Works a little difficult to setup to start with but i soon worked it ou
Works fantastic except when it rains. As soon as there’s rain it’s sending an activity warning to my phone,which is very annoying. I have this on the low detection setting.
It gives me complete piece of mind for the safety of my family.
The picture quality is spot on.
The two way audio is great.
Night vision is fantastic.
Completely customisable settings to suit your personal needs.
Highly recommend.
Easy to set up and use. Works fine without any issues.
Fantastic quality on night vision picture quality and detection motion very easy to use
his is an outdoor security pan tilt camera, 1080p resolution with the colour night vision feature! this is my first colour night vision camera, my old surveillance cameras are all black and white infrared image, while at night, it’s hard to tell by the colour of the car or colour of clothes of suspicious object
the other reason i ordered it was because it supports network video recording to security system (nvr) as well as network attached storage (nas), it’s a 12v power supply so i could directly replaced the old camera with it, unfortunately it doesn’t support video signal cable, so i could not directly connect it to nvr, i could only either connect it with ethernet cable or wifi, and send to nvr as network camera signal
with the imou app, i could connect and setup the camera in no time, however it spent me over 2 hours to figure out how to connect it to my nas for video recording, there is nowhere in the manual, imou app or anywhere official mentioned how to connect to the camera onvif signal
eventually i found the camera ip in the “lan live” function from the app, and then found the admin password (safety code) on the camera body, near the serial number, and connect to port 80, rtsp port 554 in order to get the network video signal, i don’t why it doesn’t provide detailed information in the app or manual, probably they are intended less pro user friendly, and more targeted on general users who may subscribe to use the paid cloud service
anyway, i’m really impressed by the colour night vision, it’s another world! somehow it’s even clear than my eye, as you can see from my attached review video, the street is so bright and clear, although it’s not detailed to license plate level, but it’s much much better than old style night vision
there are loads of standard surveillance camera features like pan, tilt camera control, zone motion detection, security light and alarm, the microphone is quite good too
overall it’s easy to install either to the wall or ceiling, general setup is quick and easy (nas setup is a bit confusing though)
i’m very happy with this product, would recommend
hope you find these information helpful
The camera is strong, sleek looking and appealing to look at. The camera is to be used outdoors, however we live in rented accommodation so we have restrictions on attaching things to the exterior of the house, so we have opted to use this indoors looking out of a window onto our cars. We had some issues with glare and reflection at night making it impossible to see out of, however we searched how to avoid this and it was actual night mode causing more problems, and once we switched this off it was perfect. The night mode would be perfect if it was outside, however behind glass it reflects weird so simply turn this off.
The camera was well packaged and protected on arrival, is comes with instructions and operational tips. I was really impressed with the simplicity of setting this camera up, I had the app downloaded and linked in around 5 minutes which is fantastic.
The app is just a basic camera view that you do have options within to adjust, such as full day monitoring or motion detection, setting parameters to create alerts. The app works well and does everything I need to, it has a bit of a strange layout, but once you figure out where everything is it works fine.
You will need to insert a SD card if you want to store or capture video recordings, this was simple and worked fine, there is also the option to store via a cloud service, but as I had the SD card I did not need this service.
The image is clear and works well, the night vision is also really impressive. You could also use this as for a multitude of uses, there is also the ability to talk via the microphone if you ever needed to which is a great bonus. This is a great quality safety camera.
Great value for a quality camera, very happy indeed!
This is a compact, easy to install camera that provides fantastic footage, even at night.
Before installing, I fitted a 128GB Micro SD card then paired to WiFi through the Android app to see if there would be any problems, all went well so I took it to the spot where it was required to test WiFi signal strength before drilling into the wall. It picked the connection despite the area being away from the router, so it’s good start.
Power cable needs to go through the wall, so I used a 16mm drill bit and passed it behind the mounting brackets, all hidden and neat.
I set it to record 24/7 onto the MicroSD card, this is much better, and cheaper than paying for cloud storage, but it is worth considering that doing so will mean that you will lose the footage if someone knocked it off and destroyed it, so if you’re installing it in an exposed, easy to reach spot, I’d reconsider the on board storage.
Footage is excellent and streams without stuttering or lag (That will depends on WiFi strength though), and night vision is sharp and clear.
PTZ works well and super quiet, and installed on a corner, it covers 2 sides of the location.
Only reason for missing star is the price, I think it can be a bit cheaper compared to almost identical alternatives.
Overall: At 99.99 with a 20% voucher at the time of reviewing, this is a bit more than what you could pay for reasonable alternatives. Would recommend specially if reduced.
This camera came packed in a box with good protection packaging to avoid any damage in transport.
First I installed the app using Google store rather than scanning the code as the QR code took me to the manufacturer’s website. After app installation, it was easy to detect and add the camera to my wi-fi and app, I just followed the included instructions.
As it says, this camera is a 360 degree camera and can be controlled and moved using the app. You can setup notification zones so that passing car or people outside of your concerned area ( e.g other side of road, fence, etc.) do not trigger off notification. Once the camera detects movement/presence in the set zones, it sends notification to the installed app with a screenshot of the movement. Once you access that notification you are able to see the recorded video of the incident. Talking about recording, you have option of using local (micro SD card) or cloud or NVR. I am yet to explore the last two options, I am using micro SD card for now. I found the notifications to be good, it detects humans well but sometimes there were false/wrong ones, specially in the last few weeks of storms.
The quality of the videos are good, both day and night. The audio recording or talking too is clear.
My only complain is that it uses a power adapter. It would have been a 5 star product had it worked on 210-220 volts. The need of power adapter makes it hard to install the camera at places which are exposed to rain unless you install a waterproof junction box (or something similar). Because of this, I had to install the camera near to a window so that it’s plugged inside the room with wire going out through a windowsill.
Overall a good camera at good price of 99.99
This security camera is very simple to set up. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. We configured the WIFI camera on our mesh system that has 2.4 GHz WIFI and we used the power supply that came with the camera. The camera also has an Ethernet cable, but you wouldn’t need to use this if you have WIFI coverage.
One of the best features of this camera is the ‘pan and tilt’ function which allows great flexibility in where you can use it because it has a wide range of viewing angles. The other very useful feature is the two-way audio. This allows you to talk to whoever or whatever is near the camera, and the sound quality of this is very good. You can also hear what’s going on in the area you are viewing.
The camera is a bit bigger than some of the tiny cameras that you can find on the market, but this is a good thing in our opinion as it is clear and visible so acts as a deterrent from anyone intending to trespass or break in.
As well as a security, this camera is ideal for monitoring our chickens! If we hear them kicking off, we can view them to see if a fox is in the vicinity of their run, and also talk to them which tends to quieten them down straight away.
All in all this is a great WIFI camera, and we give it five out of five stars!
This 1080HD outdoor security camera very easy to install. Once you have downloaded the app and set up an account it can search for the camera and then your connected. The installation on the wall or ceiling is equally simple. The camera comes with a sticker to mark out where to drill holes.
The image quality in the day and night is fantastic, at night it is much clearly than my alternative Nest cameras, also being able to hardwire it to a network means there is no lag and you can use the highest resolution available.
The app allows you to set the camera positioning up, set auto tracking. Auto spot light and siren settings. It is all intuitive to use and have not no issues.
If you can use a network cable the WiFi connection is much better than other products I have. The Google mini speaker does not connect to the WiFi in the same location but with the dual antenna the camera had a good enough signal to run on 720 nice and quickly. Wired I use 1080.
5 stars easy.
Very impress with these security camera, we have installed it on our porch. My husband was surprised it was bigger in real and its easier to install. We’ve connected it through our phone and with our Alexa so when were in the kitchen or in the room and someone is knocking we can see it straightaway. Especially if you want to avoid people who knocks randomly who wants to sell different stuffs. It arrived with a sturdy box and came packaged well. Comes in everything you need, the camera span is good so you can just tilt it using your phone so to see around. We are amazed with the night vision its so clear, so convinient especially we don’t have an outdoor light outside. I love how it notifies my phone when someone is near it, it makes you feel safe. We also tried the audio once when a postman comes and we are not home. It waw very clear and we are understood well with our instructions. We have installed it somewhere with canopy but we get so bad wind that the rain still gets it but its weatherproof so nothing to worry. Highly recommended for home security.
So far so good, I found it very easy to install and pair to my app and the quality is very good. I liked the motion sensor feature which sent notifications to your phone when it detected anything but make sure you set up zones on the app so that washing and other things that move in the wind won’t trigger it too often or you will get too many notifications. I had an issue connecting it to my 5ghz network so ended up using the 2.4 ghz wave band instead. The night time picture was very good as it has proper infrared lights on and for a cheap camera it wasn’t grainy. The day time picture was good as well and fine for home use. The sound was a but distorted when using the 2 way calling and it picks up a lot of win and traffic noise.
There is an option to record on to a memory card which I will do when the cloud trial is up but you don’t need it as you can get it to record to it locally and it will just over write it when its full like a dash cam. The power cable is short so I can to adapt it to make it longer with an extension. I like the remote feature and the abilty to move the camera to get the perfect angle.
This is great value for a fully featured camera. The app is a bit flaky as its compatible with a lot of different brands but it does the job ok and looks like it gets updated regularly.
