A Solid Camera
The media could not be loaded. A Solid CameraOverall, this is a very good camera. I've had it up and running for about 1 month now. I currently have 12 cameras running at my house. I have 3 SV3C cameras as well as 3 other brands. I use Mac computers exclusively so I don't know how their software works on a Windows PC. Here is what I like about the SV3C camera:1. Mounting system: They have the easiest mounting system of all the cameras I have mounted. All you have to do is screw a small metal mounting plate to your siding and slide the camera on the plate. With all the other cameras, you have to hold the entire camera on the wall while trying to get the screws through the camera housing. It's much harder doing this because you're trying to balance the entire weight of the camera while mounting it. The SV3C's mounting plate weighs about 2 ounces so it's much safer, especially if you're up on a ladder.2. Pan/Tilt/Zoom Controls: The movement of the camera is smooth when operating the various controls. There's no stuttering or jerkiness to the movement.3. Image quality: Both the images and videos are very good quality. Audio is clear. I attached a couple of photos and a video to show my setup. The night shot using only IR was very clear for quite a distance. Both the day photo and video colors are decent and focused.4. It's definitely ONVIF compliant. I run a NVR software program on my Mac and the SV3C cameras are running fine and all controls are working remotely from this software.5. The Auto-Tracking function works as advertised. I had my daughter and her 90lb. Doberman dog walking around our backyard and the camera only picked up my daughter and followed her around. It never locked onto the dog.6. The company's iOS app is pretty decent. The interface is pretty intuitive and I had no problems adding the camera.7. The WiFi reception seems pretty decent as I haven't had any issues with connectivity. My NVR software tracks connection problems and there haven't been any issues, so far.Complaints1. The company's Mac software you can download from their site, needs some work. There is no help system for the Mac software and the interface needs some work to be more intuitive. It took a while to get the camera connected and figuring out how to navigate around the app. I found it much easier to connect directly to the camera via a web browser. The browser interface was perfectly fine for adjusting all the settings. The Windows PC software may be better but I didn't test it.2. The video files recorded by the camera and stored on the SD card can be recorded in h264 or h265 format. If you download the recorded video files from the SD card to your Mac, the files are not viewable. However, you can convert them easily by using a free 3rd party software program. If you use their software, you can view the video files directly on their software program.Overall, this is a great camera. My two complaints are fairly minor and have little impact on using it. Highly recommend it.

Professional Outdoor Camera
The media could not be loaded. This PTZ Camera Outdoor is an addition to the other cameras (HX Series) that I have setup around my property. I purchased this particular camera due to the PTZ capabilities and other features such as the 5X Zoom and the compatibility of the software of the HX Series Cameras. Like the others this camera was very easy to setup and the installation was a breeze. I installed this camera in my backyard so I could have a great view of the backyard and the back of the house plus I can pan the camera to any angle that I want to view and also zoom in. You can view the camera from your Phone, Tablet or PC and also watch the recordings as well just by downloading the appropriate App or software for your device. There are a lot of different parameters that can be set up for recording and notification too. There are so many positive aspects of this SV3C camera that I cannot list them all is this review. You need to go to the SV3C website in order to download the software for your PC and then the fun begins setting it all up for your individual needs. The built in microphone and speaker is loud and clear and has parameter adjustments for loudness. My wife was 900 miles away and we carried on a conversation while she was watching me on one of the cameras. How awesome is that? The night vision with the utilization of infrared is very clear and I personally find picture quality amazing. The detection sensitivity parameters can be adjusted from 1 to 100 and also this camera has a humanoid setting that only detects people. The 128GB SD Card will hold so much data that it will go for many months before having to format the card and you can simply format the card by using any one of your devices. To set up just simply follow the directions that come with the camera and if you need help just email their Customer Service and they will respond promptly. I have corresponded by email asking questions and have found their Technical Support very superior and professional. This PTZ Camera is a great price of all of the features plus the camera casing is metal not plastic giving the camera a solid feel and weight. Please check out the pictures and video that I uploaded. You will simply love SV3C surveillance cameras, I find them AWESOME!

Good camera, more Pros than Cons
I have 2 of these camerasI bought the 1st one 6/2019The 2nd one 5/2020They have upgraded the software now has Human alarm motion detection.(the verdict is still out if this actually works)This camera has a really good picture day & nightCan Zoom & control from your computer & phoneI have tried several other camera’s & softwareTheir warranty return policy is good.They replaced my 1st camera when after 3 months the Wi-Fi quit working.Pros:Software is free with no monthly fees.Keep all videos on your own hard drive & the SD micro cardNo mandatory CLOUD… (of course that is my own preference as I don’t trust anything in the “Cloud”3 ways to access Live Videofrom your computer with P2P software (up to 36 cameras)& thru Internet Explorer& on your mobile phone,, (on the mobile phone you can only see one camera at time)Fast response from tech support.. considering they are in a completely different time zoneCons:It is a real pain to insert the SD micro card1st the screws are really hard to get out without stripping them (I actually returned one camera because I could not get 1 of the screws out)2nd you cannot tell which way to insert… it is easy to push in too far & lose foreverThe P2P software & Client Plus have a real learning curveThe Manuals need a Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, ect on how to setup on PC not just on the Phone appIf you have someone at your front door & you want to talk thru the audio… the Alert sound does not stop & you cannot hear what they are saying
