sorted by16:9 is really unsuitable for domestic CCTV. It gives you an intrusive view of your neighbours (both sides), while restricting the depth view. I mounted mine under the soffit & can't fully cover my length of my drive.
If you use the privacy mode to obscure your neighbours it places big, ugly, black squares on the view rather than just obscuring. You are limited to squares & a total of four, so two each side available. This means that to obscure your neighbours entirely, you will invariably have blanks on your property.
Motion detection using pixels rather than PIR is generally poor. It will be triggered by leaves, grass, rain, insects, car headlights & even reflections of clouds on a car roof. It also has Line crossing Detection. I watched the postman cross that this morning without triggering the camera.
1296 makes no noticeable difference over 1080 & quickly pixelates if you try to zoom a recording.
Using tiny, non-captive screws to secure the non-captive panel where the SD card lives is lunacy. Why not a simple captive rubber bung that can't be dropped on the floor from 20 feet.
The stupid exterior aerials serve no purpose other than to draw attention to it.
As already covered, the redundant, huge, ethernet connector can't be removed.
15fps is just about OK for capturing people but won't capture detail on a passing vehicle.
Will need a big hole drilled depending on where you mount it.
Also, does anyone know if this affects the actual internet speed (rather than just using the internal capacity/speed of the WiFi connection). Our internet runs off of 4G at the moment...extended to a standard wireless AC/powerline WiFi network.
Would really like to invest in multiple cameras of this kind to create a big network of cameras - but unsure if it will be possible with the existing network?
Final question - does it have an interface where multiple cameras can be viewed at the same time via an internet browser tab? Like this;
(For a v.busy charity that operates both indoors and out across a fairly big site)
Thank you (edited)
If I wasn't looking for a single camera with multiple lenses to give 180 Degree coverage I would certainly buy this
Onboard Micro SD storage also means you do not have to pay a cloud subscription (edited)
Thanks OP ordered
My bedroom window looks out onto our private road and my car is parked opposite.
What's my best option in terms of placement please? How can I hardwire it electrically?
Also what's a good microphone for cctv to capture clear sounds outside without background noise? (edited)
