4X PTZ Camera

Buying this camera was my second attempt at installing a security camera. My first attempt was with a similar camera but POE. I could not get the system to work even when I called in a technically competent friend. Then I saw the Luowice camera that was the same but a wi fi system. I bought this camera and had it set up and running quite quickly. I have had to ask Luowice for a bit of help but they have always responded to me and my camera is up and running and totally to my satisfaction.My neighbour also bought a Luowice camera though a different model and between us we have worked out most of the settings. The APP is a little vague, but with a bit of trial and error, we have finally got things working to our satisfaction. So much so that my neighbour has bought a second Luowice camera and I am about to follow suit and get another one to cover the rear of my house.The camera itself is well made, and appears to be robust and well able to withstand the weather. Night vision is excellent and the Infrareds glowing in the dark are a constant reminder to any would be intruders that they must cross its field of vision. I do like that bit, its a great deterrent.I, like most owners of these cameras have a resident spider who is constantly triggering the alarm. He obviously lives under the hood where it is no doubt warm and dry, and my advice is to just leave him alone as if you get rid of him, you will also get a free replacement. Just turn your notification volume down and live with it.Playback is first class especially on my phone, with very clear pictures and the ability to read number plates at quite some distance. I have three pre set positions, which I use at various times of the day or night. Be aware that this model does not do auto patrol, but I can get the same effect from using my phone to control the presets.Overall then I am very pleased with this camera and the service provided by the vendor. Please do remember that China is 8 hours different to GMT, and allow them time to respond. The camera was sent direct from Amazon at a fair price and very promptly, so overall, I can formally declare myself to be one very happy customer.

This is an excellent value for money CCTV PTZ(Pan, Tilt, Zoom) camera with excellent day and night vision capability, furthermore audio mic detection. Motion detection (sensitivity 1 to100) and field of scanned area are adjustable and easily set. As are the push notices to phone or email. The power lead supplied will not be long enough for all installations, however, a 240 volt extension lead is what a couple of quid. I was receiving a picture on my phone within five minutes of receiving the package from the courier. That's how quick and easy this product is to set up. Now thinking of getting a second one, possibly one for the holiday house also. Fine bit of kit.

The quality of this camera is astonishingly good. I went through 3 cameras before finding this one and have not found anything to dislike about it. I needed a camera with PTZ to monitor my car at night and because it's on street parking I needed the pan, tilt and zoom function so now if I don't get a space outside my house I can easily reposition the camera using the app or pc software to do this and have found a minimal drop in quality when zoomed in. The daytime quality is simply amazing and I can zoom to the end of my street and still read number plates. The sound is really good too and would make a great camera for inside use too to monitor pets etc. Night time IR is really what I intended to use it for and records good quality black and white video. The only downside with IR is it reflects off shiny surfaces which means I'm unable to read number plates of cars passing by. Had some issues early on with the PC software which turned out to be my PC not the camera but Luowice went out of their way to help me solve the issue which they really didn't have to do. I received an email back within 24 hours every time and they gave detailed step by step instructions along with pictures.Setting it up I used a small sealed weatherproof box just below the camera on the front of the house which I fed the camera's leads into where I connected the power and signal cable to a POE splitter which allowed me to run a single Ethernet cable to the back of my house where my router is and then using a second POE splitter to split power and signal back up again so I could connect one lead into my router and the other to the supplied mains adapter and into a nearby plug. (if you have a switch or a router that supports POE then you don't need the 2nd splitter or the mains adapter. Using a POE splitter means you don't have to worry about running the adapter to the camera. Search amazon for "POE Passive Power over Ethernet PoE Adapter Injector + Splitter Kit 5v 12v 24v 48v For IP Camera, CCTV, Network" this gives you both parts needed.The app is brilliant, once downloaded all I did was pair the camera and enter my wifi details and the camera automatically starts recording onto the camera's built in SD card and I get around 24 hours of 1080p video stored at a time which I can easily view on my iPhone. I also set up my PC to record round the clock which was very easy to do using their software. Having a PC set up to record is not a necessity, the app can do it all but bear in mind the SD card it comes with will only store around 24 hours of footage. I also managed to get it working on a QNAP NAS drive using the built in surveillance software. One last thing you can use the app on your phone wherever you have signal/wifi, not just at home. You can also set it up to send photos or a notification by email when it detects motion so you can either open the app and see who/what set it off straight away or view the corresponding video later on.Highly recommended.
