[Updated Version] CPVAN CamHi APP 1080P Outdoor Security Camera,IP66 Waterproof WiFi CCTV Camera,Wireless IP Camera System with 82ft Night Vision,Two Way Audio,Motion Detection,Ideal for Home/Office

I looked at a lot of Wifi security cameras before settling on trying this one. I'm so glad I did choose this model. A friend of mine had a 4 camera system installed in their home at a cost of £1200.00 and there was no way I could afford that so I looked for something in my price range I can add to.This camera is built well. Good sturdy feel. The installation was so easy. Ok you may need help putting it on a wall and running the cables to a power socket if you are not up to the job but the actual pairing of the camera to my home WiFi and installing the netsee app and pairing the camera to my phone was a breeze. All done in 10 minutes with no fuss.Before installing it permanently, I first set it up in my bedroom so I could test the night vision while having the camera in view. An alarm kept going off (A noise emanating from the camera itself) so I looked through the settings and found how to set the alarm time, turn off the audible sound on the camera and also speak directly through the camera.I then set it up it up down in my garden on an outbuilding over 100 feet from the house. The signal was fine. No drop out at all at that range. I also discovered while watching a fox that was in my garden that a double tap on the screen zooms the picture in.Finally I have set the camera up covering our driveway to keep an eye on our cars and people entering the property. The image day and night is very crisp. You can hear through the camera as well as speak through it. The app works fine. I set the alert time from 1am to 6am and it's sent me alerts every time there has been movement outside in its sensitivity range. I have it set to low but it still pick everything up.You can add more cameras to the app which I intend to do to have the back and side of my home covered by them.I've tested the app away from home and viewed live footage with no problem. I can see on the app how I will switch between camera views which will be great.My only reason for not giving it 5 stars on picture quality is that there is a slight slow down on motion. It's not 100% smooth. But that's only a slight slow down. Nothing to really bother me.All in all when I can get my home covered by this system for under £150 compared to my friends £1200.00 it's a no brainer.If you are on a budget. It's worth it.

I bought one of these without really knowing what I was getting into, but have to say that this is great!I just plugged mine in before putting it up to sync it to the app (this is must - don't try after putting it up!).When syncing, ensure that your phone volume is turned up.The app (NetSee) if fairly easy to use, video IS continually recorded onto the SD card which again, you must install before putting up the camera. The 'Playback' page on the app lets you choose the date and time that you want to view, and this is then downloaded from the camera to your phone. You can choose to take snapshots or video from this by pressing the corresponding buttons. These snapshots/videos will be stored on your phone. My 64GB SD card stores around 6 days of HD recording, double that for SD recording, so you may consider getting a 128GB SD card for longer recording.The alerts are controlled on the settings page under 'Alarm', setting the alarm to 'ON' will give you choices for the time to monitor, alarm sound (whether you actually want an audible alarm or not - I switched mine onto silent as I don't want the neighbours to get annoyed every time a postman comes). Also you can adjust the sensitivity here, even on 'LOW', mine alarms when cars go past. With alarm set to 'ON', you will get an alert on your phone, however the app still has to download the clip from the camera, which again you can choose to record from onto your phone.The picture quality is excellent during the day, night vision is excellent too, with a clear greyscale picture.While the supplied lead on the camera is short, extensions can be bought fairly cheaply on Amazon. The lead on the camera was long enough to get through my external wall, leaving around 2 inches inside.Overall, I think that this is an excellent product, with great support too (their support answered my email within 24 hours).As I said, I was impressed enough to buy a second for the back of the house, so highly recommend this.

Like many of you reading this, I wanted a middle of the road CCTV wireless system with good visibility during the night and day. I purchased the CCTV via amazon. I am writing this review after having this device for over 6 months and overall this CCTV is not reliable. It will either work or it won’t.On arrival, I noticed that the power lead was short. After fitting it onto to the front wall outside, I downloaded the app the connected the CCTV. Although it is straight forward to link the CCTV to the app, it did take longer then I assumed to link. After working for one day, it stopped connecting and the CCTV link was constantly down. May broadband is very stable. I contacted the company to be told that the CCTV is faulty, they did not want me to return it within the period so I can have a refund, which I had requested. They sent me out another one a week or two later. After a week of working, it down again and has never really been reliable and most of the time it fails to pick up connection and it claim to be offline. As the time of return has passed, the company are not interested and do not respond.I recently received an e-mail from this company by mistake with another customers address details and e-mail history, I noticed that this has happened to many customers. Seriously, spend a little more and get one which at least gives you a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty. This will end up costing you the same! Two CCTV cameras and they are useless.
