ieGeek Security Outdoor Camera 1080P, WiFi Surveillance Bullet IP Camera CCTV Waterproof with 25m Night Vision, Remote Viewing Motion Detection and Push Alerts for Android/iOS/PC(3M Power Cable)

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  Impressed with the picture quality and it works fine over wifi. Set up can be a bit fiddly though on your first camera - after you have done one, set up is straight forward and takes a couple of minutes only.I've not had any success with the motion detection setting - you need to turn it way down to get it to stop triggering for bugs and such.Now if I could just keep the spider from making a web in front of one of my cameras all would be well with the world.I put together a video that runs through the basic set up - hope thats of some use.UPDATE: What I'm finding is that these cameras develop 'jerky-footage-syndrome'. You may get lucky and receive a camera that records smooth footage, but what I'm seeing now across most of my ieGeek cameras is that the footage is nowhere near the FPS (frames per second) it is set at. I cannot recommend these cameras any longer.

Like the 1000 other positive reviews, mine is no different. This camera is brilliant and perfect for my needs.I wanted a self-contained security camera that recorded footage to something local, not into the cloud where one has to pay a subscription.My current setup uses a wired camera to a dedicated recording unit with a hard disk. Still works fine, but I needed some coverage where wires would not reach.I know it does not come with any local storage, so if you want to record footage, plan to get a micro SD card.The first thing you should do is configure the camera for WiFi, don’t mount it anywhere, just get used it in your room.The instructions were easy, download the app to your smart device (phone or tablet), plug in the Ethernet cable into the camera, use the app to locate the camera and type in the WiFi password.Now the Ethernet cable can be disconnected. The app will continue to use the WiFi connection. You can also use a browser to access the camera instead of the app, I prefer this.Without an SD card, the camera records to your smart device, but this is a manual process and your device has to be at home (i.e on the home network)So getting an SD card for me is a must. I duly opened it up to insert my SD card. The default is for the camera to record every day 24/7 in 10 minute lumps. Prefect, I had no desire to change that.I read many reviews saying the detection sensitivity is too high, I guess for these people they only want to record when there is movement.Totally understand and locating the incident is a lot easier, but unwanted movement is a nuisance having to look through loads of small irrelevant files containing nothing but rain drops, spiders, wind rustling leaves.If you want to take security seriously, then don’t be lazy, put up with it or pay more for a better system. Better to capture it than miss it because the camera was not sensitive enough.I personally don’t like this kind of recording, I have set my camera to record 24/7 every single second of the day whatever is lurking out there I want to capture it.BTW your camera should avoid capturing any areas of neighbouring property.I only scan the footage if I want to investigate something, e.g why my shed door was left open. Whether the postman actually rang the doorbell instead of just putting in the “you were out” card when I was actually at home.Regarding the large hole many reviewers said they had to make. Well, since I have configured the camera to work on WiFi, all it needs is a power cable. I cant see why I have to thread the big Ethernet connector into the house and dangle it inside the house, just leave it outside.I drilled a hole just enough to feed the power cable. Of course don’t leave the other cables just dangling outside, do something sensible. If you cant do that, get a different camera.I read some one fed the camera from a 12V battery and charged it on solar, hmmm I like that idea. Means it will still record even if someone cuts off the mains thinking it would stop security devices.While I didn’t actually buy this as a doorbell camera, I often use it to see who is at the door.I was not sure how big the SD card should be for 7 days, I popped in a 128GB and seems that is mote then sufficient, so far it has kept everything since the last 16 days.

Returned. Completely unsafe to use. The camera is unencrypted and what they dont tell you in their listing or anywhere inside the box in fact is that once you set this camera up it sends your wifi password directly to china with no security protection at all. WHICH asked amazon to stop selling these cameras because of how vulnerable they make your home network. If you want to leave yourself open to hacking then by all means buy the camera but if you dont I would suggest paying a bit more and getting one with proper security!

I guess there's a reason it's reduced from £199.99 to £49.99. Wifi simply doesn't work. Tried it with the phone app, tired it with the desktop app. It can find the camera if it's connected to the LAN but you go through the steps to set up wifi and neither the PC or the phone can find the camera. There's 2 hours of my life I will never get back. They say you get what you pay for - in this case £49.99 buys you a great deal of frustration.

I bought two of these. Installed one to monitor the garden entrance. All the setup went fine. Monitoring it from the browser on my PC. I could see the trees moving in the wind - I wouldn't call it a video. Move - wait 5 seconds, moves again and then freezes. So I end up looking at a frozen picture of my garden. My wife went out and stood in front of it. I didn't see her from the browser unless I refreshed it which takes ages. To rely on this to monitor for security you would have your house emptied while they drove fourteen lorries on to your property and you would see a nice still shot of your garden. Software is crap: the controls on the browser do absolutely nothing. Up, down, left, right arrows - they do nothing.Attached image says it is 'live' - no movement of the trees in the wind just a still. The controls on the browser screenshot do nothing. The only thing you can do is move between [monitor] and [settings]. You can see as much movement from that screen shot as I can see from the browser. If someone came to the gate the camera would not show them - useless.Utter crap.

Further Update: I finally gave up with this camera, it won’t even power up. I bought another Foscam to replace it.Update: bought in December. Four months later it stopped saving its settings and keeps rebooting. Nothing I try will restore it. Dropped rating from five stars to one star. It’s fine if you only want it to work for four months.NOT RELIABLE.I usually buy Foscams, but was impressed with the reviews for this camera. This was bought as a replacement for a Foscam that finally died after six years. Set up couldn’t have been easier, and I had this running within minutes. Camera has a very good picture and the UI is more flexible than the Foscams. I also managed to trick the IOS app that I use on my phone into thinking this is a Foscam so that it shows up in the same grid as all the other house cameras.
