A very nice quality versatile camera, I purchased this as a gift for my nephew and his wife who have just had their first baby and wanted something solid, easy to move about, the ability to set up on multiple devices, a good viewing range that gave high quality images both day and night vision and this seemed to fit that perfectly.
The camera arrived in a branded brown box with everything packed and protected in foam and comes with everything you need to be up and running including a network cable and DVD containing a digital copy of the manual along with a program called IPCMultiView for viewing and manipulating the camera from a desktop or laptop PC. The quick start guide manual is very comprehensive covering all the functions and features taking you step by step through the setup process with clearly marked pictures and illustrations showing you exactly what you should be seeing and doing, it’s fully in English and I found it very easy to follow.
Once I had unpacked it I had a good read through the manual and decided first of all to connect it wirelessly and installed the application onto my phone by scanning the QR code in the manual, this can also be done by just searching for P2PLiveCam on the relevant app store. After turning the camera on it ran through an initialisation process turning the camera through its angles and was then ready to connect, I searched the WiFi connection on my phone and connected the camera, once this was done I started the P2PLiveCam app and pressed to add a camera using the QR scanner to scan the QR code on the base of the camera and it was then connected and ready to test, at this point you can change the name of the camera and default password but didn’t as it can be changed at any time through the app.
Something not very apparent by the product description is this camera isn’t just a device you can view and use through your WiFi network at home, once you have the app installed you can login and view the camera from any place in the world just as long as you have an internet connection. I gave the camera a test on my balcony and it worked very well with high quality images and very easy to manipulate using the app, I then tested it using the network cable plugging it into my home network and tested the IPCMultiView application on my home PC which worked flawlessly and again very simple process to set up. I did a quick test on the night vision which I found to be superb, the area I tested it in was in total darkness and it still managed to give very clear images.
The camera has a micro SD card slot so you can record and store recordings which worked very well also giving the ability to format and set up the card from P2PLiveCam app, I tested the two way microphone this worked well and very simple to switch on and off when you want to use it.
I have added a video and will also add some pictures showing going through the unpacking, starting and connecting the camera, giving it a test both wireless and connected via a network cable, showing the PC application setup and features finishing with a bit of nigh vision, please note my original video is of high quality but the video quality often degrades considerable when uploaded.
What I liked
*************
- Very easy to setup

What I Didn’t Like
********************
- I normally like to find something to put here but I really can’t find anything, if any issues arise I will return and add them
Summary
**********
