Unbelievable value!
Pros:
-Controllable via smart phone left right, up and down with a privacy mode and a fair range of motion.
-1080 picture quality that’s fairly decent, looks nice and clear
-auto snaps human motion when it detects it and sends a pic to your device’s notification bar (fails sometimes)
-USB powered (comes with a UK plug adapter too) Much better connection quality than my previous
-wall/ceiling mount with screws (twists on and off included mounting bracket) & mountable upside down with an app setting to invert your picture.
Cons:
-Mic and speaker quality is lacking
-Subscription service for premium features (cloud saves etc)
Honestly for the price I paid, I cannot quite believe how good this is.
Amazing security camera, got it during the amazon day sale & am not disappointed at all, great picture quality, easy to use app & easy to set up. Love that its 360 viewing, has an alarm & microphone.
The mobile app could be better and removing the Imou logo is a pain but I’ve added screenshots/instructions for that and BlueIris settings for network and PTZ which both now work after some legwork.
Removing the watermark: You’ll need to download the Dahua app (yes, these are Dahua cams) for Windows/Mac (Google: Dahua config tool) and add the camera using the admin as username and the password on the base of the camera, (they call it safety code). You can change the password in the Windows/Mac app too. Select Device Config from the left and click the image tab and clear out text in the “Channel Name” box in the bottom right (see image), enter a space or two if you want it empty and click “apply to”. The watermark should be gone.
The pictures of this litle cam is beautiful the only small problem was the conection to wifi wich has been made with difficulty (because of the app). I used the app for iphone. Maybe for android is more easy.
Sturdy unit, good quality footage, lots of features. Download app and register and you can view live stream or historic footage from you device wherever you are. Didn’t sign up/pay for ‘cloud’ storage, just using SD card inserted into the device. It records up to 7 days footage before overwriting oldest. You can zoom, move camera remotely and use two way audio/speech function. Happy with this purchase.
Where this shines compared to others we’ve had (including our existing other-make camera in a different room), is how ‘instantly’ the Live Feed appears when checking-in on them over the house-WiFi, and it only takes about a second when out and about on 4G.
Will definitely get another Imou cam if & when we require another…
Used as a pet camera. Simple to set up and use. The picture quality at 1080p is crystal clear both day and night. The speaker is quite loud enough to tell off the dogs!. Great buy at 25.
Are use this camera to spy on my cats when I’m out during the day because they get up to quite a lot. Overall it’s a great product for the money. The only thing I would have to complain about is the app notifications are so annoying and you get one for any little noise so I feel like if you had this for security reasons it wouldn’t be great. But for my use, it works pretty well and I just turn off my notifications in the app because I don’t need to be notified of anything.
Motion detection can sometimes be a bit off but really not often – not worth being an ‘issue’.
Please see my screengrab s for pic quality in 480p ( the most basic).
I’m super happy and will definately purchase more of these .
Definately recommended
Otherwise, it’s fine. Stores all the recordings for viewing very well, using an SD card. Everything works fine without paying any extra for cloud storage, even auto tracking. Tapo don’t include this unless you pay for Cloud which is why I had this model.
