The media could not be loaded. First thought straight out of the box was the solid feel to the camera, it has a metal housing a feels really good quality. The other thing to mention on appearance, is the size of it. This is quite a large camera and so if looking for a discreet camera people may not notice, this might not be for you. I take it as a positive as I like the cameras to be seen, it’s a deterrent. It’s also larger than the other two PTZ cameras I have from the same company.Set up was pretty easy through the cam hi pro app and once plugged into my router I was able to find the camera straight away and connect to it. I have 3 cameras for this same company now and it’s slightly inconvenient not been able to use the same app that I have my other two cameras in (CamHi) and instead having to use Cam hi Pro.Installation was a breeze as this one is mounted to my garage, so it was just a case of drilling a hole into facia boards large enough to fit the connectors through, pushing the cables through, screwing the camera to the timber boards and then connecting and plugging in the cable on the inside of the garage.Picture quality is great and the PTZ works really well and the clarity when fully zoomed in is amazing.I’ve only had the camera up a few days but when re watching videos I have noticed the picture quality lacks a little when there is someone/something moving and loses definition on the person/thing. (See video). It may be the case that I just have to play around with some of the settings.The night vision also works really well (see picture)I have enabled the human motion detection alarm setting which sends a notification straight though when movement is detected by what it identifies as a human, I may have to adjust sensitivity slightly though as it does pick up and lot of things such as hedges/trees blowing around.Although it was mentioned in the description I was disappointed to learn this doesn’t have auto tracking, one of the other cameras I have from them does have this feature and it’s amazing, considering this camera is £50 more I would expect it to have this feature.All in all I would definitely recommend this camera, there are still a few things I need to work out but I’m confident with altering the settings a little I can have this performing brilliantly.

I am using this excellent IP cam with 4 other cams with a DVR with ON/VIF and all works great and very stable. The easiest way to set up this or any other type of system is to power up your cam connect the Ethernet cable to your routers LAN port (you may need to press the reset button on the cam) then download the Camhipro app to find the cams IP address then select your cam follow the steps and you then should be able to get a list of details of your cam look for the IP address and enter it into your web browser enter PW and then the cams setup pages will appear from there you can configure everything on the cam. Once all configuration is complete you can remove the Ethernet cable and should be also working wirelessly and stable connection if not usually a network or wireless setting error.A great cam at a very good price Point very well made and good video quality.

I have seven of these cameras around my property now & so feel well qualified to write a review. The first batch of these was bought around four years ago & they are still functioning perfectly.The camera itself is very well constructed & solid... this is no cheap plastic toy!Image quality both day & night (monochrome at night) is superb & motion sensing works well too, belying the actual price point of this camera!Set-up is simple once you download the free CamHi app, & although only one camera can be viewed at a time on CamHi, this is no real issue as switching between cameras is quick & easy. It's also very simple to expand the number of cameras via the app. as I have done several times.I believe there is also a PC/Mac programme available in which all can be viewed simultaneously, although I've not had the chance to explore that yet.You obviously need fairly good WiFi connection, but once set up, you can view your property from literally anywhere via 4G, as I did from Italy last month... great for peace of mind!If you wish to secure your property with a cost effective, simple & robust security camera system, look no further... Highly Recommended!GY

The media could not be loaded. SV3C 【20X ZOOM & 5MP】 5MP PTZ Security Camera Outdoor, 20x Optical Zoom CCTV camera.I purchased this ptz camera as it promised great quality video and zoom. The camera really does deliver on both of these. The camera is compatible with 256GB memory cards not 128gb stated in the description.The downsides to the camera are if it rains, when it does rain the rain gets on the Lens of the camera and it makes viewing the camera impossible as all you can see is a blurred image. I got round this problem by making a small hood from a plastic aerosol lid, these keeps the lens totally dry. I found the viewing angle of the camera is quite narrow so depending on where it is installed it may not cover all the area you need it to. The camera has tracking contrary to the description but this is jittery and as shown in the accompanied video if the person being tracked changes direction or moves quickly or walks below or close by the camera then this function does not work.Summing up I have to say I’m quite disappointed with this camera. This is by no means a cheap camera at £169, without my modification it is unusable in the rain. Its narrow field of view covers only half of the area of the faulty camera this is replacing. The tracking function is not reliable which is the whole point of buying a ptz camera.Edit. After now having the camera for some period of time I thought I would update the review. My view of this camera has only changed for the worse. The sound quality is abismal. Talking over the speaker is pointless and the noise of the camera turning makes the video sound like crunching gears.I definitely would not recommend buying this ptz camera, not even for a fraction of the price.

Very pleased with the IP camera. Meets expectations.
