CCTV Camera Outdoor with Color Night Vision, Ctronics 1080P PTZ Digital Zoom Wifi Security Camera Surveillance IP Camera Home Security with 355°Pan 90°Tilt Auto Tracking Motion Detection Two-way Audio

I’ve had this camera for just under 2 weeks, purchased to replace / work alongside a wired outdoor camera system which was losing it’s infrared night vision after 5 years. Having had a break in at home last year I’ve been looking to improve on our existing setup, while my original camera got a conviction I was due an upgrade. I was surprised at the price of this camera for the features provided, things have moved on in the past few years and a replacement for my wired camera would’ve been more than I bought this for.I was also lucky to win a second camera with the scratch card that comes with this camera, while this initially made me wonder if it’s too good to be true, the quality of this camera for the price bracket is fantastic and is ideal for home / business use.Both the night and day picture quality is very good and in HD with audio recording too.Good points:- Great HD picture quality both night and day with the ability to choose from 3 options for night time - Infrared night vision, full time colour picture with built in floodlight or the motion sensitive floodlight. I’ve chosen infrared to avoid disturbing the neighbours when an animal / person walks past as I live in the city.- Audio recording (though this to me feels intrusive, my cameras are installed outdoors and it could be very useful to have the audio too if any crime is committed)- PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) is great as you can adjust and change the camera angle from your sofa with the app, to focus on where you want to watch.- Wide camera angle, I can see a much wider view than with my wired cctv cameras (which I still have as a backup)- Fast wifi connection- Easy and quick to setup with the app, you will need an outdoor 12v DC connection, I was able to split the power from my existing camera easily to add this into my system.- Can be viewed remotely with the phone app, and you can speak to and hear people using the app.Negative / points of improvement:- intelligent motion tracking - I found didn’t work as well as I’d hoped due to living in a residential area, if you are using this in a back garden / indoor work area it’s fine, and for the price bracket it’s as expected. I would recommend turning the intelligent tracking off, as it will track anything that moves and possibly miss anything that happens in your chosen surveillance area while it’s tracking something else.- PC control - With the recommended app for PC I so far have been unable to connect at all to either camera, it is very confusing so I haven’t bothered, it would be nice to be able to have control of the cameras and view recordings easily on the PC/Mac, I am just using the iPhone app, and you can download footage from there.- Night Vision doesn’t always turn on due to bright street lights nearby, I moved the camera to a different location and it’s improved.- When using the PTZ the motor noise is slightly loud on the recording but I’ve not heard it when in front of the camera.- It would be good if the Micro SD card slot had a screw to secure it and make it slightly more difficult to remove.What would I improve? Mainly a decent PC app & the intelligent motion tracking, but for home use and once you’ve got it setup in the right position for your needs it’s a great camera.I’d also say the motion alarm can be quite sensitive in bad weather but I’m used to that with my existing cameras. If you prefer intelligent human detection you can buy the more expensive version. For this price point you’re not going to find any better in my opinion! I tend to check the alert recordings periodically as I’m in town so there’s a lot of people and cars passing by.It’s my first time getting an IP camera and I’ve avoided the internet of things as much as I can so I wouldn’t have anything inside the house that has audio / video connected to the internet, but apart from my hang ups on that I’d recommend this for the price you can’t go wrong.. would I have one inside? No but that’s not directed at this brand - I wouldn’t have any internet connected cctv in my house, however for outside security use it’s great and I’m very happy with both cameras so far!

I have four Ctronics CCTV Wifi Security Cameras installed around the outside of my house. It makes me and my family feel safe because at any time we can see if anything is happening outside and if we hear a noise, we can take a look. Wherever we are, the email function sends an image to our phones whenever movement is detected or someone or a vehicle comes onto our property. With the 'four pictures' view I can see all views on one screen which makes viewing very quick and convenient.There are many other things that we like:- We can see where our cat and dog are in the garden and what they are doing.- We can call them by using the microphone function.- With the sound un-muted, we can hear the birds singing.- We can check that the garage doors are closed without going outside.- We know when the postman arrives.I mounted two of the cameras on a corner of the house (using plastic corner brackets that I made) and ran the power supply wires down the back of a drainpipe - see photo - and through a hole I drilled in the wall to a convenient 13-amp socket inside the house.Like others have reported, I initially had problems setting the cameras up but this was mainly a case of getting familiar with the technology. By carefully following the instructions I found it quite straightforward in the end.There is an extensive, very useful and easy to use menu which gives control of many of the functions.All aspects of the Ctronics brand including their products, website and support seems first class.I am really pleased I bought these particular cameras which are one of my best ever technology buys!George 19.06.2021

These were some of the first camera's I've purchased, approx 3 years ago and they've spent the remainder of the time outside. They're durable, easy to mount and offer some decent options for their price.These are used with iSpy to provide home CCTV using a range of different branded camera's - without a doubt this is the best brand / model I've tried. They do support RTSP and do apparently support ONVIF but I had some issues with the ONFIV and PTZ control. That being said, I can use iSpy to tilt / pan without needing anything specific.I think one of the camera's has a faulty wireless module as it simply refuses to connect unless there is nothing between it and the AP - I use ethernet with this one and does work fine for that. Similar to some other cameras though, they are also susceptible to vehicle traffic, with an an increase in frame drop.The picture quality is great in daylight and gives really good clarity, you likely be able to identify someone at a solid 50ft with a bit of zoom. During the night though, this does drop to around 15ft - much farther out and the quality is too grainy. For standard HD camera's though, I have no complaints at their price.The two-way audio does work really well too, with the mic on the camera's being decently sensitive without distortion on louder sounds. The options to switch between the various night modes is a little limited but does work well enough - If you are monitoring a small area and light leakage isn't an issue, the built-in spotlight is brilliant and allows the camera to see full color HD.I would be more than happy purchasing these again, either stand-alone or to add to an existing DVR / third-party setup.

From Cliff Rust:This is a fantastic camera at an affordable price. It allows you to have security on a budget. Its easy to install and comes with a free app to monitor and control it easily. The video is so clear even at night and has a zoom facility with audio in and out.The customer service is second to none. I have had several email conversations with Echo who is so polite and wants to please you. Echo is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions in a speedy clear way. Really helpful and knowledgeable.
