SV3C Wireless WiFi Security Camera Outdoor with Built-in Microphone for Two Way Audio, 1080P HD Night Vision Home CCTV Cameras, Waterproof IP Camera, IR LED Motion Detection Surveillance Cameras

I've had a play around with this for a couple of weeks but only just found the time to install it. I have a couple of internal cameras but nothing outside and liked the idea of having a camera I could use to keep a watch over the drive and our vehicles. As always, the issue with external cameras is routing the power to them. I had a satellite dish fitted a long time ago no which was no longer being used, so pulled out the cable for that and fed the power lead through the hole to the outside of the bedroom. The camera was fitted to the front of the house, with the cable fixed using a couple of ties and cable clips.Installing an internal card (I had a spare 32Gb Toshiba micro SD so used that) is a bit fiddly and requires disassembly of the camera, but only needs doing the once. It would be good if the manufacture included instructions on how to do this, I had to look it up separately.The camera is fairly straightforward to set up. Downloading the app and connecting via a supplied Ethernet Cable to the router provides the only method of initial access. Via the app wireless settings (basically the password) can be entered. Then disconnecting the Ethernet means it's wireless only, which is what most uses will no doubt want, myself included.Once installed and configured it is easily accessed via the app, which also allows features such as auto emailing, duration and quality of recording, etc., to be set.The instructions aren't great, a leaflet that explains the basics but not much else, it doesn't include information regarding opening up the camera to install the SD card, for example. But there are videos on YouTube for this and other reviewers have provided useful guides.Quality of image is great, and the ability to access via a variety of software is a big plus. I use VLC Media Player and accessing the camera via this is very simple (rtsp://192.168.1.9:554/11 - replace the 9 with the address your router allocates to the camera) providing live streaming to your PC or other device without the need for downloading additional software.I'm very pleased with the quality and functionality provided by this camera, it's well worth considering by anyone looking for a low priced single camera security system, thought the App looks like it should be able to handle multiple cameras if required.

Firstly SV3C is a great seller, I had an issue with the first camera but they sorted that out very efficiently.The camera does everything you need from a bullet camera and does some of them better than most.I have had a lot of cameras over the years and still find wired better as wifi can drop and have lagging issues that means sometimes your images are useless. This is getting better all the time and thanks to my wifi setup there are no dead spots and the wireless camera locations are constantly over 18mb upload and 60mb download so I can't comment on how they would cope on a single wifi router with lower speeds. I use this camera via onvif and it hooks up to one of my DVRs, the downside is that onvif doesn't pull through the motion detection but I use my ftp server for this and this camera works really well in that it puts the images in date order sub folders, better than some of my cameras that put them all in a single folder so it makes it longer to load and difficult to find the ones you are after. Big plus for this.The image quality is great, 1080p. You can see faces from a fair distance and actually identify people from it. Setup is easy, you have a few ways to do it but I used the way that means you connect to your wifi through the app and then the app plays a sound to the camera when you hold your phone to it which allows it to connect to the network. First time I've used this sort of setup and I think it is easier than connecting to the camera via wifi first.ProsGreat 1080p image qualityFTP folder is done in date sub foldersWorks via onvif for use with a DVRSupports a decent sized micro sd if not using a DVRGreat low priceGreat field of viewConsNot really any but onvif isn't as good as netip for connecting to a DVR as it doesn't pull through the motion detection. I knew what I was getting though and for the price it's a really good camera

I’ve been researching home security cctv systems for a while now and wanted something I could access remotely whilst away from my home.I took the plunge and bought one of these little WiFi cameras influenced by the other reviewers.Reasonably easy to set up although the instructions provided are not that great.Firstly download the app called CAMHI. It doesn’t tell you which app to download in the instructions other than ‘download the app’.Once downloaded plug the cam into your router and mains socket.Open the app and search for your camera. You’ll then have to go into the settings for the camera to enable the WIFI options. Once complete you can unplug from your router and place the camera where you like.Inserting the memory card is pretty straight forward although very fiddly! You’ll need a very small headed Philips screwdriver (ensure it’s magnetic also) Firstly unscrew the small screw on top of the camera and take the top off. Twist the glass over the lens off then remove the round sponge bit by the lens then take off the black sticker around the lens. You’ll see 4 screws at north, south, east and west. Undo these then the lens and circuit board will drop out exposing the micro SD slot. Insert the card. (Plug back into the mains and check the SD card on the app to ensure it’s reading) then put the camera back together.Picture quality can be adjusted from SD to HD, captures directly sent to your email and notifications of movements etc straight to your phone.A great purchase and highly recommended
