I have one other bullet IP camera from Luowice and that works great, so I bought this one as well. I have a mix match of cameras and trying to get more to one type or manufacture of cameras and this fits the bill. These cameras have a metal body and mount and look and feel like nice high quality and well-built camera. The 2.7” 1.3MP CMOS lens gives you 960P @ 25 fps HD quality video and photos. The horizontal field on this is a little small at 85 degrees compared to some other cameras, so you need to consider that when deciding where to place this camera. Mine will be at the back door and deck area and I don’t need any bigger of an area covered. My other cameras cover 180 degrees and are placed in areas I need or want to see and cover more.
This is not only easy to install but just as easy to set up and get up and running. The default user ID, password and IP address should be on the label on the camera itself when needed. I plugged in the power to the camera, plugged in the ethernet cable first and got the WIFI setup (works with 2.4 GHz WIFI only and not 5 GHz) and working first and then unplugged the ethernet cable and installed it outside on the wall to replace an older Guardzilla camera that isn’t compatible with my NVR or phone apps I use. Once you install the Camhi app (or whatever you chose to use) you tell it to search your network (LAN) and as long as your phone is on the same WIFI as the camera, it finds it and sets it up in seconds. Please make sure you change the default password on it to something only you know, so other people can’t hack your system and view your video feed.
I love that this already comes with a 16GB SD card pre-installed. That is extra money and time I didn’t have to spend buying one and setting that up.
The colored video quality on this looks spectacular in the daylight and the night vision is almost just as good in black and white and works fantastic as well. I have all my cameras set up for recording on motion detection, which works perfect, and only pick up a few false detections, but that could be the wind blowing something around in front of the camera.
With this camera added now, my house is protected on all sides now and I feel much better knowing I have 24/7 video feeds at my figure tips anytime I want or need it. The app does push alerts when the motion detection goes off and that is outstanding because I can use the two-way talk on the camera to talk to anyone that is there if needed. I see no reason you wouldn’t be happy with this camera if you bought it.
