EVERSECUSecurity Camera H.265 1080P POE(Power Over Ethernet) IP Camera Outdoor, Home Security Surveillance Camera, 20Meter Night Vision, IP66 Waterproof, Power Adapter Not Included

Setup must be done in Internet Explorer with a plug in, which is annoying, but not terrible.Pros:-IP cameras that supports onvif/rtsp-does not *require* internet access to function-priceCons:- slow- random glitches of white screen or video noise- no idea who the company is, therefore wouldn't trust it on a network with internet access or equipment that should be secure.I initially placed 2 of these cameras at a Radio tower site, and wrote off the white screen/noise as RF swamping, but I've since installed on in my attic to find a rodent, and get the same white screen noise glitches. I'm in the woods with almost no electronics in the attic, so the noise is clearly in the camera.I would strongly recommend keeping these cameras on a seperate/isolated lan that does not have internet access. Or if you have no choice, enter a garbage ip address for the dns servers in the camera itself.Overall, they're not bad cameras, but remember that you get what you pay for, and in that regard, this is the best deal I've seen on a POE ip cam that allows rtsp or onvif access without needing internet.Not specifically relative to these cameras:My solution to keeping them off the lan is probably not something the average person would do, but still not super difficult:- place the cameras on their own hardwired physical lan- add a second network card to a PC or a USB network adapter to a raspberry pi. I'll call this the DVR- configure the DVR's primary network card for your normal lan, and the second network adapter to an address on the camera lan. Do not set up bridging or internet sharing on the DVR.- set up your camera/DVR software to pull IP directly from the cameras (I use MotionEye)- access the DVR software from your normal lan, and it will basically show you the video from the camera lan without allowing you to access the cameras directly or the cameras to access your lan.- if you need to view it remotely or over the internet, set up a wireguard VPN on your home lan, and connect by VPN, then access the dvr as if you were home.If you do this, be sure to turn off ssh or inbound access from the camera lan to your PC or Pi. This protects you from someone physically outside unplugging your camera and plugging in their laptop (or wifi router) to attempt to hack you or steal your internet service.

These cameras are exactly what I was looking for, for nearly half the normal market price. For 30$ apiece they offer very stable video feeds. Setting up is a little bit cumbersome but if you understand networking it's pretty easy. You will have to use the included software or download it online to tap into the static ip of the device and change the network address. If you have a device already on your network sitting on 192.168.1.10 you will have to remove that, and flush your DNS a records. Then change the ip one camera at a time to avoid ip collisions.The poe works great.Night vision is actually pretty mind blowing. It's very clear and decent range.The image in general is excellent.Yes you will have to use ie and active x if you want to use a browser, but there is a program included as well for windows that allows you to add all feeds to one page and simultaneously record. You can also download the app to the phone and view/record from there. It does work well.The reason I give 4 stars is because I don't trust this company's cloud features as they were subject to many exploits and hacks during 2018—2019 and I do not believe they have addressed it. So be aware of the potential for cloud being unsafe. But if you already have a safe way for remote access, you won't need their cloud features and running internally on network is safe.

I'll be returning it - I need the ability to change the lens to something that will allow IDing who and what at a distance. Lens is glued/epoxied in. The camera body is a great design - Aiming adjustment is great, Lots of room and capability to accept longer lenses - easily up to 25mm - But they glued in the wide angle lens - Boo! Hiss!. (A SECURITY camera that can't have a long lens?) I could probably get by without a memory card slot, but without it, there is no backup recording if my computer is stolen.

I recently purchased an indoor camera from this company that was quick and easy to setup and use, so I figured I'd purchase an outdoor one from the same company. Reading the reviews I was a little hesitant, and when the package arrived, boy was I confused. I have to agree with the other reviews, if you aren't tech-savvy, this isn't the camera for you. Luckily, my brother is great with this stuff so I had him help me.You need a PoE switch to use this camera. The package comes with the camera, some screws to mount it, and an installation disk. The instructions were a bit confusing to follow at first, but after staring at it long enough, I was able to figure it out with the help of my brother. What's great is that you don't need a power cord for this camera to work, it works just with an Ethernet cable. It has an attachment for a power cord if you do want to plug it in. The image quality during the day and night is comparable to my more expensive security cameras I have installed around the house. The motion detection is also great, even though I don't really need that feature. The camera was extremely difficult to move to the correct position at first. I thought I had to unscrew something, but you really have to just use some force. I wouldn't move it around too much, or else it might loosen and never stay where you want it. Overall I think it's a good camera, minus two stars for how complicated it was to setup (had I not had help from my brother) and plus one star for the quality for the price.

I wasted quite a few hours trying to get it set up. The instructions are dismal and mostly don't make sense in English. I tried to change the IP address using the configuration program on the disk but the IP address would not change. It had 192.168.1.10 written on it but that was not correct. I used a network scanner to find its actual address. Having found that address I could open up its web page there but it was only in Chinese . I am an electronics engineer and write software - If I have struggled how is Joe Soap going to be able to set it up?

Good all round
