its a good camera, has a app you can watch on your phone, great night vision

Excellent camera, great value for the price. I strongly recommend it! Great picture quality and the intelligent tracking is precise, very responsive to detect movements.

This is a good camera but it have some issues, image quality is good, easy to install, it is a plus that you can put a microSD so you don't need any external storage, it is accessible from anywhere from you device and laptop, but the issue is the software, it crashes, I tried with both 64 and 128gb memories and it was the same, when it does, loose the orientation you have set it up to, you can rotate the camera but sometimes it is kinda impossible that it stays pointing to certain location if you put it in front of your home and there a lot of pedestrians, I mean, that kinda seems to be the purpose, but it takes a lot of time to return to it set location, I'll recommended it for backyard or some place that you would like to track movement at certain hours, but not the whole day. night vision is good, inner mic is decent, sound is good.

I wanted an IP camera that would detect motion and record video to my hard drive. I have no intention of paying a monthly fee to do something I can do for free. This was attractive for the price and that it is an outdoor device (cameras don't work through glass windows at night), and is wireless (except for power). I spent countless hours trying to get the image on my PC, only to find out it works only with (now obsolete) Microsoft Internet Explorer (it needs Active X). I did interface it with my Android phone with no difficulty. I have played with it to get motion detection and recording to my PC for many hours. The user guide does not even address these subjects. Support responds promptly but tells you nothing. They keep referring me to the mostly useless user guide and some YouTube videos that have very little to do with the whole thing. If Pan Tilt Zoom is important to you, it doesn't work usefully. The camera accommodates an SD memory card, but if you put the weatherproof cover back on, it extracts the SD card by pushing on it. If you think you can use this monstrosity the way I want to, go to their website and download the owner's guide to see for yourself. I am not a dummy, I have 6 PCs networked at home and have other cameras, including an indoor IP camera that works just fine. This camera looks good and the image is good. It might be adequate with the subscription model they want to sell you, and maybe the PTZ on my particular camera is defective and others work just fine, but in my experience, I saved money on a cheap camera and if I value my time at even $7.00/Hr., have spent it ten times over and am still not where I want to be.I think everyone would agree that a camera that won't stay where you aim it is worthless. This camera will suddenly move its "home" position for no reason.To top it off, the quality of the video is poor.

Absolutely love this camera! The 360° view and motion detection work flawlessly, and the full color night vision is super clear. Setup was quick, and the two-way talk is a great bonus. Great value for the price—highly recommend!

Over several years, I've bought 4 of these cameras to use with my Blue Iris software. I use them wired to the network, not wireless. They've worked great as low-cost PTz cameras for monitoring things like my HVAC equipment in the attic and for certain outdoor security needs.I run 20+ cameras from several vendors. All of them allow me to login directly to the camera using a user name and password to have complete control over things like frame rate, bit rate, etc. Using those settings I can run these cameras at very low frame rates so that they have low overhead on Blue Iris.Until now, that is. The latest camera I received in May 2024 no longer allows you to log into the camera directly. The only way you can change the camera's internal settings now is through software on a smart phone app CamHiPro. Unfortunately, CamHiPro lets you change very few of the internal settings. For example, I can no longer change the frame rate - an essential requirement for my needs.Therefore, I'm lowering my rating to 3 stars, and I no longer can recommend this camera for use with Blue Iris. It still works with BI, but you no longer have complete control over the internal settings.I am very experienced with installing and using IP cameras. I bought this camera to fill a specific need for WiFi - all of my other cameras are hard-wired with Cat6 POE. The first one of these that I received would not connect to my network; Amazon support sent me a replacement which worked immediately, and I'm pretty impressed by its capabilities for a $50 Pan/Tilt WiFi camera.Note: this is my review of the new camera. My original review is later in this post.I bought this camera for a specific purpose: to create a portable WiFi camera that I can place anywhere on my property and run with battery power with no wiring connections at all. Why? Sometimes I want to place a camera temporarily in a location where it is not possible or practical to run network cables.One application for this camera is to monitor water flow in a culvert about 100ft downhill from my house. During heavy rain, the culvert becomes a raging torrent. I've always wanted a way to monitor it during heavy storms and especially at night. With this portable camera setup, I can now do that.Sometimes I want a temporary camera to monitor HVAC contractors working in the attic. One contractor sabotaged my A/C unit and then tried to sell me a new one.I suspect that chipmunks are climbing the downspouts on my house and running around the gutters to get to other sides of the house. Now I can check and see. ;-)I'm sure I'll think of other uses now that I have it available.Here's what I like about it:Very small and lightweight for a Pan/Tilt camera - easy to strap to a treeVery sharp video. Only 1080P so digital zoom is of no use, but for $50, it meets my needs.Reasonably fast, accurate (stops quickly), and wide-range Pan and TiltExcellent IR and bright white LED nighttime illumination.Draws very little power (about 140ma in the daytime)Very good WiFi range (about 80-100ft outdoors on my property)Has ONVIF support, so I can quickly connect it to my Blue Iris network and control it just like my other cameras.To clarify/correct some information I found in other reviews:This camera DOES support ONVIF. I have it connected to Blue Iris with no issuesThis camera DOES support Static IP address, but it is labled as Fixed IP Address in Network SettingsThis camera DOES work with Blue Iris. Probably also with most or all software that supports ONVIFOriginal review of first (not working) camera follows -------------------------------------------------------------I found the instructions somewhat hard to follow and the print size to be way too small for an old guy like me to read but I found a YouTube video that goes through the process step-by-step (but you have to continually pause it to see each step.)After much experimentation, both with WiFi and cable, I could not get the camera IP address to show up. I even set up a totally separate WiFi router to eliminate possible conflicts with the many cameras and other devices on my main network. The IP address would not show up even on the simplified network. When plugged into the router, the green LED on the socket of the camera cable glows solid green, but the LED for the corresponding port on the router was not blinking.I called the Amazon tech support number listed on the purchase record. A tech called back quickly, but it was obvious that he was reading suggestions from the camera user manual. He was systematic and polite, but I could tell we were not going to solve the problem. He offered to send a replacement camera, which I accepted.The new camera arrived in less than 24 hrs (Prime). Two thumbs up for that. I decided to go straight to a hardwired test since that usually is less prone to trouble than WiFi. Using the same simplified network with just a WiFi-connected laptop and no other devices on the network, within a minute I could see the camera's IP address and connect to it using the IP address and Chrome. That's as far as I've gotten, but the many configuration options and image clarity look promising. I'll file a new report after more testing.
