SV3C 【20X Zoom】 PTZ Security Camera Outdoor, 1080P Pan/Tilt /20X Optical Zoom WiFi CCTV Outdoor Dome IP Camera, 196ft Night Vision Camera, IP66 Waterproof Camera with Audio, Support Max 128G SD Card

The media could not be loaded.  Whilst this camera is priced low the quality is far from cheap, both in terms of the video output and the general construction.The camera was well packaged supported by foam in a high quality cardboard box, ensuring no damage was caused in transit. Included with the camera was an easy to follow Quickstart guide as well as a helpful card that detailed the various PTZ auto-cruise options available.As opposed to the mobile app that can be used for this camera, I instead added it to an existing BlueIris NVR server which was a painless experience when compared to many of SV3Cs competitors, not only did the video stream work straight away but so did all of the options for both PTZ control and hardware options like manual IR illumination control (a feature only often found in very expensive cameras).Installation of this camera was what I expected, 4 screws into a wall or other solid surface and a power (+ ethernet connection if not using WiFi) then you’re done, just add it to your chosen NVR software.The movement of this camera is very fluid as is the zoom function, but whilst smooth they are also extremely fast allowing you accurately track people/objects through the full range of motion. Please see the short video attached to show the performance of this camera which is truly quite astonishing especially considering the low price point the attached photos are all taken from this camera, unfortunately its been foggy since installing the camera making them appear blurry, once we have some better weather I will update this review but this camera still out-preforms the others we have installed.Overall I wouldn’t hesitate to buy this camera again or any other camera from SV3C, and I may well be buying another one very soon.

Absolute waste of time and money, do not get one of these , where to start ?It won’t even connect to the app that the instructions recommend , it shows connected via an Ethernet connection but as picture shows , no picture or sound , it states that it is ONVIF compatible , and it’s NOT, same deal, shows it’s connected but no picture or sound, the pan and tilt work so it’s connected, but no picture or sound,After literally 6 hours of messing around with it ( and I work as a controls engineer with ip protocols every day) i connected it to my works laptop with some fancy set up tools , I could ping the camera ok, but there is 0% data transfer either Ethernet or WiFi ,I can’t comment on picture clarity or zoom or sound because there was not any picture to start with,I have got far cheaper cameras that took me 15 minutes to set up, that work just fine,Don’t waste your time on this camera , unless you don’t have anything to do for the next 2 week, the instructions are rubbish and do not make any sense ,Asking you to connect to the camera via WiFi to set up the WiFi?? Bit like saying , if you have no internet , go to www.I paid a bit extra for this camera so I could keep an eye on my car with a better picture , no picture at all was not what I expected,Thoroughly frustrated with the time I wasted on this device.I will never purchase anything from this brand again ,They should not sell rubbish that simply dosent work, and wasent working before it was put in the box , clearly not been bench testedSave your money ,

Seems like it could have been a decent camera.But it is an insane shame that the software let's it down when it could have been such a star.First, the amazon package was already open. Seal broken. No manual. So when it tells you to scan the barcode inside. There isn't anything to scan. I tried finding a manual on their website but if this is what they ship then it's of no help either.Fortunately there was a video from another user on YouTube. Tip: install first with the ethernet.The camera itself is huge. But very solid.The quality of the stream is probably the best I've seen for a wifi camera. It's actually shockingly crisp. The supposed 20x zoom is, for lack of a better description for now, incredible. I use this for my aquarium room. It has an overview of the three main tanks zoomed out but can zoom straight into dory's eyes zooming in.The app leaves much to be desired. Controls could be better when panning. And I'm yet to work out how to view videos that it is meant to be recording on the SD card.I'll update this as I find more to add.

This camera is really easy to set up and use. It plugs into a normal plug socket so no messing around with electrics. It comes with a good set of English instructions to guide you through set up. There's an app to download and I can see live footage on my phone and also move the camera angle when necessary. The live video is smooth and great quality. There's a microphone on the camera which also picks up audio clearly too. In the dark the night vision is much better than I thought it would be. It's got an in-built memory card so the camera is always on loop record so I can view footage from the last few days if necessary. I'm glad I spent a bit more on a decent camera because this one has been great so far.
