These were easy to install I run them wireless. Quality is great, alerts are a really good feature.
Different detection, good in the day and night.
A great bit of ki
These cameras are brilliant. Only down side is you cant turn the alarm volume down. So most of the time the alarm is turned off. But they are easy to install and picture quality is brilliant.
A great security camera that is a doddle to set up and when paired with the app allows tons of options to configure the camera to your needs. It’s solidly made and very robust, I attached mine to my house using a “no nails glue” which holds it securely.
The image quality is great and it is very easy to pick out fine details in video and stills, the night time images are in IR but they are still clear and bright.
The cameras are mains powered so you will need to think about positioning the camera near to a power source, the only down side to me is the power lead has a data connection which I don’t use and it is in the way so I sealed it in insulation tape to waterproof it from the elements.
All in a great security camera camera, even better if you can get it in the sales.
Good camera & easy to setup.
I would not attach to a wall using the adhesive sticker to the base as suggested. Mine fell off after 3 days, luckily nothing broke from the fall.
They do provide normal wall screws or a magnetic fixing too. I opted to use heavy duty velco instead as you don’t have the hassle of drilling holes
Installation is fairly easy as long as you have tools to get cables through walls (16 inch masonry drill bit) which luckily I have.
So best to install the app as per the instructions which are straightforward and easy.
From the app installation instructions are very easy.
Picks up Wi-Fi no problem, which to be honest was my main concern. But first one installed was in a high and position 15 metres and 2 brick walls away from my router and still picked up Wi-Fi easily.
Fitting is straightforward with a template included in the instructions for drilling mounting holes.
There is as well as the power supply cable a cable for router connection, quite big and bulky. Rather than cut cables, I fitted a waterproof junction box alongside and sealed everything to make watertight.
Performance so far is excellent, particularly like that each camera can be set independently to pick up in different modes. (Ie-motion detect-human detect etc)
Microphone pick up for sound with video is excellent.
Video recording is very good
Night vision (black and white) also very good
Have continuous loop recording to card, also easy to set up.
Human detection is excellent and app notifications are very quick
Not much in negatives really just some obvious weaknesses.
Two way communication through the camera is a little weak as the speaker is very small
Because the angle of view is just over 100 degrees, you’ll have to mount quite high to get good coverage
Result of high mounting is some loss of resolution, but still acceptable.
DIY fitting is easy except for the power lead to through a wall. But it is slim enough to fit through a closed window without damage to lead or warping window
Overall would happily buy again and provides value for money.
Good sensor sensitivity and you can customise the areas and types of detection in the app. Video is decent and you can even zoom in! After a month the battery is only down 20%.
Bought to keep an eye on the front door and driveway, this camera proved easy to set up and to install. Although I screwed the base plate to brick, above and to the side of the entrance, the box contains all you need to stick the base plate to non-porous surfaces. The battery will, I guess need charging every couple of months, or so, if there is a lot of coming and going to set off the recording, but it’s easy to simply pull off the camera body from the magnetic base and charge it indoors for a couple of hours. I bought a Frangoo 512GB micro SD card, but unfortunately, the camera software failed to accept it as a genuine card! However, I also subscribed to the cloud storage option at just 2.99 pm and the recordings are stored for a month, which is fine for me. I’m alerted on my phone each time the camera is triggered and the picture quality at 2k seems good enough for what I want.
Clear picture and sound
Much better than there camera doorbell
If you dont pay for subscription and want to delete any clips from sd card have to remove sd card and delete clips with a computer which is less than the doirbell where can delete all clips with app but neither have delete sungle clip.
Have this camera installed in my porch and have to say I’m very impressed with the quality of the picture. Extremely clear image both day and night, turning the light on via the app at night gives an almost perfect colour image. Battery life seems good but it doesn’t get triggered too often. Not in a position to say how it would hold up if positioned outside but see no reason what it shouldn’t be as good. Very pleased with this purchase.
