【20X Zoom】ANRAN 5MP Wifi Outdoor PTZ Camera 2K Wireless Home Security CCTV Surveillance IP Dome PTZ Camera Two-Way Audio, Night Vision, Remote Access, Pre-install 64GB SD Card

Pros: great picture, very good night vision with a long range. Set up was straight forward. So far it appears to be water proof. Powerful optical zoom. Cons: zooming in on a specific target is tricky. Camera doesn't pan upwards from it's horizontal position so it's important to install it at a height that shows what you need to see. The wifi Ariel is showing signs of rusting where it screws onto the camera body On balance I recommend this product - buy with confidence.

Well this is my 7th cctv ptz camera let me tell you is the best, I have just ordered another, Well made easy to connect great support exlent knight vision and best day vision you can get great zoom and good price from Amazon UK,

The camera is very well made and much bigger and heavier than I was expecting. Considering I had only bought it to watch the birds feeding and a little mouse doing midnight raids and scurrying around my little council-flat back garden, my neighbours must have thought I was protecting the Crown Jewels! There are two ways to set the camera up. One uses a network cable, which I initially did to test the camera indoors. The other uses a wireless connection which took me several attempts to finally get right. That could have been down to me not fully understanding this set up though. The daylight picture quality and night vision are excellent, although having to refocus manually if the auto-focus hadn't quite got it right, was a bit hit and miss. Also, manoeuvring left, right, up and down wasn't particularly smooth. Presets: There are 255 in total. I only needed a few dozen but I was also using higher numbers to store possible presets to add later. Then… a problem. After having successfully stored 23 presets I added one to a higher number and suddenly the camera took over, wildly veering to the left, to the right, up and down, zooming in and out, going in and out of focus as though it was possessed. Then it stopped. None of the stored presets worked anymore so I had to reset the button on the camera lead which restored it back to the factory settings - and start all over again. Three times this happened in less than a week and this was on various 2-digit numbers above 40. Today I wanted to go from preset 10 to 7 but forgot to clear the first preset away and ended up with 107. The camera went off on its happy journey, running through all my presets, one by one and then stopped - and started over again, and again, and again. This went on for 15 minutes until I switched it off at the mains and once more, did a factory reset. This time it made no difference, it was stuck in a loop and it decided to stay there. Thankfully, technical support were extremely helpful. A friendly chap called Taric, communicated via Whatsapp and with the help of an engineer, managed to sort it out - hopefully for good this time. Apart from that - everything is fine!

UPDATE: now I've discovered that you can not swap WIFI. Updated my wifi contract the camera now does not work. They've left the only QR code that you need to contact on the camera itself. Not in the instructions. So unless you're prepared to remove the camera everytime you switch ISP you're done for. You tap record. You'll get about 4 to 10 mins then it disconnects. Image quality is pure even on HD setting. The APP. Absolute terrible take about 6 minutes to respond. If you're trying to catch people up to no good swerve this. Its useless. Even with downloaded recordings it's -10 frames a second. Utter useless. Typical Chinese rubbish. Does nothing but say connecting. If though I'm on virgin media gigabit connection. Honestly please do not buy

very good daytime images and at nighttime my back garden (that is very dark and about 25 meters long) is very clear. wife likes the zoom as we can see birds very clearly at the birdtable, using with Blue Iris.

This is a very nice camera but I do have issues. In the box, you get the camera, a speaker, instructions and fixings. However, in the instructions, it clearly states that to install this camera onto a pc, use the enclosed CD or you can also use the provide link that as written in the instructions. This is supposed to direct you to a web page that provides software, to enable you to install the software so that you can view on your PC or Laptop. Unfortunately mine never came with a CD and the link that is provided in the manual doesn't work, It just directs you to a blank web page that says ERROR 404. Also, the external speaker has issues, it arrived with a small dent in it BUT more importantly, the wire that is attached to the speaker is not fully covered and the inner wires are exposed (SEE PICTURE). I do not fancy putting this up outside because this is certainly not water tight and would cause the product to eventually fail. Apart from that, this camera is so easy to install on a Smart Phone, the zoom is superb, the quality and auto focus is very good. Unfortunately, I bought this to use with my PC and tablet. I will use my phone but to control the PTZ using a mobile is just almost impossible to control accurately and lets this product down terribly without the software to control this via a PC which is exactly why I bought this in the first place. I contacted Amazon and they gave me a link to send a message to the seller but the link just directed me back to Amazon Customer Service? I told the rep at Amazon this and they gave me an email address to which I have now written to the seller explaining my issues and I am now awaiting a response. If these issues that I have experienced did not exist then I would have given this 5 Stars because this a is great camera but it is just a shame that these issues I have with this product lets it down immensely so I am giving this 3 stars because what I need from this camera, I can not have because I can only use it from a Smart Phone. I will adjust this feedback if this does get sorted but this is basic stuff and should be sorted before it gets sent to the customer. ****UPDATE*** I received a link from the seller which directed me to a web page that allowed me to install software on my PC. This is a good piece of software BUT there is room for improvement. Firstly, on the Phone App, you can switch between intra red to normal full colour mode. However, on the PC software, you are not allowed to do this so I find my self loading up my mobile phone app to change this setting when I need it for night viewing but then need to swap it back over again via my phone to be able to use this feature on my PC. The manufactures should have sorted this from day one. Secondly, there are times when using both the phone app and also the pc software that they both crash and can be extremely laggy. You can try and point the camera using the PTZ function but it stay locked on the direction you have chosen and moves so much further than what you wanted it to go. This can be extremely frustrating. I also find that I have to switch the Modem and the Camera off to get them to marry each other again. This doesn't always work and makes the point of having a PTZ almost not worth having. Do not get me wrong, this is a great camera when it works but unfortunately, it is hit and miss practically all the time. The phone app is about as accurate as a SCUD MISSILE and we all know how useless they were so I vary rarely use it unless I want to switch between infra red and normal modes because anything else is just far to sensitive and ALMOST impossible to control accurately. The BIG question is this, would I buy it again! Not at the price I paid for it unless they sort out the issues with both the phone app and the PC software. As it stands, it is not worth more than £120 Maximum. any more after than then I would say get a different one with the same features. It is a real shame because there has been no update to the PC software of the App which means one thing, this camera has reached the end of the line and they are not prepared to update the software which is a shame. FINALLY... it is only 2.4ghz and not 5ghz which is considerably slower over WiFi than other CCTV cameras.

This is a great camera producing very good quality HD images. With its 20x zoom I was able to take fantastic footage of the birds on my bird feeder, although getting it focus on the feeder rather than the background trees was a bit tricky. The set up was not entirely pain-free (WiFi never is) but it's now providing a very stable WiFi feed through several wall of my apartment. I'm using a Mac and "SystemSpy" software which is infinitely configure. The SD card in the camera records depending on you you have set up the camera in the free CamHi app.The manual is unusually comprehensive and comprehendable. I've only had the camera a couple of days but so far I'm extremely pleased.

Dubious, Me never, bought one of these a few days ago, a little apprehensive due to cost (quality cuts to get so low) but WOW!, forget the other PTZ cameras on Amazon, not one will be better than this baby. So good I bought another one two days later. 5 stars for quality build and simplicity itself to install. Once I figured it out, a 5-minute job, it was off and running. The night vision is simply stunning and together with the zoom feature make this the night time car thief's worst nightmare, so good, so cheap, SO GET ONE.
