This 2K WiFi Outdoor Camera has been an excellent addition to my home security setup . The camera’s pan and tilt functionality, controlled via an Iphone app, provides a wide, almost panoramic view, minimizing blind spots. The 2K 3MP resolution ensures high-quality footage, allowing me to see details clearly.
The sleep mode is a fantastic feature, giving me control over video recording, making it private when needed, all through the app. The camera’s compatibility with PC, tablet, and smartphone access is convenient. I also appreciate the ability to monitor up to 16 cameras simultaneously on one screen. This outdoor camera has impressive image quality, and versatility, making it a valuable asset for home security.

The picture and functions are great but the app is so bad and so slow that makes me not like this camera. I will probably switch back to my old one soon.

This product performs very well in every aspect. First of all, it has color night vision function, which can clearly capture every detail no matter in bright day or dark night. Secondly, its rotating camera function makes me feel very convenient. Not only can it monitor the surrounding environment of my home in all directions without blind spots, but it can also easily adjust the angle to better cover the area that needs attention.

In addition, the video quality of this camera is also very high, reaching 2K resolution, and both color reproduction and detail performance are satisfactory. More importantly, it also supports WiFi connection. Whether I am at home or on a business trip, I can view real-time footage or historical videos at home at any time through my mobile phone. Moreover, this camera also has an intelligent motion detection function. Once abnormal activity is detected, it will immediately send out an alarm and upload alarm information, greatly improving home security.

Of course, this camera also has some shortcomings. For example, in a windy environment, there may be some shaking. But these problems do not affect my overall evaluation of it. As a home user, I am very pleased with the performance of this camera.

I installed this on my garage to look at my driveway. It was very easy to install. I have several of these cameras so I already had the App on my phone but if you don’t have the App it is very easy to install it on your phone. I drilled a hole in the garage siding and pass the power supply for the camera, then I just screwed the camera to the side of the garage and done. It has a cool feature to detect cars, persons or pets so I set the settings so only cars set off the alert. I noticed the cars passing in the street activate the motion alert but then I reduced the detection area only to driveway using the App so now it alerts only if a car pulls into my driveway. I setup the schedule to alert only at night time and I plan to set the schedule to 27/7 when I am away. This camera is rated for outdoor so it is weather proof but I am curious to see how it performs in the winter.

While you can add it to your Google Home feed via the “works with Google” feature, it doesn’t show the camera feed or anything else, making it completely pointless.

Inside it’s own app, however, it works pretty well, and you can even set it up to notify you with thumbnails via push notification. To a certain degree, you could get away with using it as a door camera since it also has a 2 way talk feature.

If you have it on HD mode, there is a very noticeable lag (my internet speed it hitting about 475mps, so speed is not the issue here) hoever if you have it in SD mode, the lag is minimal.

Between the 2 modes, the picture quality in SD is good enough that unless you need to be able to read something like a moving license plate, you won’t be missing anything. I haven’t tested the cloud storage yet, but they offer 30 day plans for a very reasonable rate, like less than 25 cents a day for the higher tier plan, and less than 10 cents a day for the basic plan.

The panning feature works well, but I will say that in “patrol mode” it doesn’t stop when it detects motion. That should be the norm, but it is not with this camera. It does take a fair bit of motion to set it off, and I don’t see anything to change the sensitivity or to ignore things like moving leaves or bushes, so be prepared to get A LITERAL TON of notifications if you have them turned on.

The motion light is incredibly bright, and stays on for an acceptable amount of time after the motion has stopped. The motion tracking feature works very well ( I may or may not have been sitting at my desk with it, moving my hand around, calling to it like a puppy…..). It doesn’t seem to go back to center after motion has stopped though, so that could pose a problem if using it for security.

Over all, I would say that this is a decent enough camera.
