KaiCong Sip1215 720P/Plug&Play/IP Camera/Wifi Plug & Play/Motion Detection/Mobile View/Network Camera with 8 Meter Night Vision and 3.6mm Lens (67° Viewing Angle)

Pretty nice camera considering the price. I wanted another cheap IP WiFi camera that does not rely on some foreign cloud service for me to connect to my own video stream but keeps my data confined in my network. I also wanted this camera to link up with my DVR through ONVIF and this works flawlessly. Linking up to WiFi is very easy, you can do it through the App following a step-by-step process or manually by just connecting an Ethernet cable and use the cameras web portal. The latter works well for administering the camera but is essentially dysfunctional for viewing. Before you see a live HD-style picture, you need to install a browser plugin that by now is pretty much incompatible to any modern browser. There are two other options (mobile view, firefox) but both have limited capabilities in comparison to the OCX mode. Getting a quick look through the app works well, although I disliked that every time I start the app, I need to switch to HD mode manually by jogging through two menus.Unfortunately, my plan to use it as a baby crib monitor did not work out because of the pretty loud clicking sound of the infrared relay. This wakes the little one up and basically never stops. After we changed light bulbs to LED it got much worse with a "click-click" every couple of seconds due to some inherent (and invisible for humans) flickering of the LED's themselves.The camera has lots of alerting features, local recording to a SD card, e-Mail, FTP, and you are able to define "privacy" areas that supposedly won't cause an alarm. I never used any of them but rely on the advanced capabilities of my DVR to manage those.

This is my new favorite cheapy camera. It has both wifi & wired ethernet which is amazing at this price. It has an infrared cut filter so colors are true during the day, and removes it for night vision. Easy to focus. SD card but I haven't tested that part. I have tried so many different brands and there are so many let-downs out there. Many of them just have bad firmware and crash after a day or so or have other problems.The sensor is probably 1 megapixel not 1.3, and it defaults to "low resolution" unless you go in and change it in the P2P android program it will look bad.I also couldn't get it to save my time zone, it keeps going back to "alaska".Also which may be a deal-killer to most, I was never able to view the camera on a PC! It only has a plugin for internet explorer, and it kept crashing. But the P2P android application worked OK, and I have an ONVIF security DVR that connected to it OK. I did not use the motion detection or SD card features of the camera.

The search utility found the camera on my network initially and I set it up for wireless just fine. However, after installing the ActiveX plug-in to view the camera's output, it never would show the video; it would only show it in the tiny "mobile" web page.I tried lowering IE browser security to allow the ActiveX plug-in, in case that was the issue, but that did not help.In Firefox it seemed to work, but in the lower left, the main video window viewer shows "login..." for several seconds; then "login fail". I was logged in using the default credentials.I started over by resetting the camera to defaults, but lost all contact with it; the search utility could no longer find it on the network. I reset it several times but could never re-locate it.I went to the company's website but found that the support page is in Korean; clicking on the English link takes you to a general company web page which is not a support page; so you cannot get any support in English, it seems.

This is an entirely not-bad ip camera! The image is completely usable and has good detail at 10-15 feet. Nothing like the unusable 640x480 cams. Set up was easy, but that might be because I've set up a few other brands. I connected it to my laptop with a cable and set a static ip address. Then I ensured that the resolution was set to max for the first channel. I disconnected it and powered it up for wifi only. Then I set up my favorite phone cam monitoring app, tinyCam, and got a clear feed. This camera is a good value at $37.

good buy -- work great thanks

Camera works good and I would be very happy with it, however I am going to return it since there is no options to set this up throughout third party DDNS. Disappointed.

This camera is not 720p. It may be interpolated up to 720p from a cheap sensor, but I have SD cameras that produce better video. It's not bad for the price, so I was not completely surprised. But no seller should get away with false advertising.

Easy to setup. P2P works fine. UID on camera. OK for the price
