Septekon Security Camera Outdoor 2 Pack, 2.4G Wired WiFi Cameras for Home Security, 2K Surveillance Cameras with Motion Detection and Siren, 2-Way Audio, Night Vision, IP66 Waterproof, Black

Good cameras for a great price
The cameras work well, night vision is really clear. Super easy set up. The customer support from the seller is also top notch.

Fantastic value for the price
Begore I say anything about the camera, DO NOT BUY THE CABLE AMAZON TELLS YOU TO ADD!!!!!! That cable’s connectors do not fit the camera’s.Now to the meat! The 2K resolution is excellent. I can read the license plate off any vehicle that pulls in my driveway. I trust the integrity of the camera’s case to handle the weather enough to use it for guarding my $50k Travel Trailer! The camera is powered by USB and the power cube is included. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is the the USB cube and connection is not weatherproof, I loosely wrapped the entire assembly in a Ziploc bag, punched the prongs through the bag and plugged into my extension cord. Problem solved. The exiting cable is Ty-Wrapped. You will need a microSD if you want to see a timeline and history of recordings. I have yet to figure out how to use the cloud, but expect to pay $70 a year for the cloud service. If you need to extend beyond the power cable’s reach, it is cheaper and faster to get an AC extension cord than it is to figure out what size connector is used and than finding a DC extension. The connecction to my router was insanely simple using QR codes. It’s been ten years since I set up and I.P. camera and that was a pain in the neck! All in all, one on the most economic buys I have ever made! Good price, good constuction, and good quality.

I dont recommend it
I bought 4 of them and placed them in my garden but they didn’t work well. It often freezes and has trouble connecting to the modem. I don’t like it. I don’t recommend it.

Camera’s are great. Supporting hardware and software not so much.
I got frustrated during the setup as I’m more a PC person than phone/Android person. When the instructions said to scan the QR code, I tried to scan the QR code on the body of the camera with my phone. Nope. On the 4th or 5th try, the camera started speaking. It then told me to place the QR code that appeared on my phone in front of the camera. Wallah! After that, easy peasy. I placed the camera’s in the interior as close to the exterior mounting points first as a test. My NightHawk R8500 router is approx 50ft+two stories away. They connected but one was quite weak and the video blinked on and off every 5 seconds. I wasn’t surprise as its quite far away; even for a 2.4Ghz signal. A signal analyzer phone app indicated my router signal was at 43% at both exterior locations. Since I’m a perfectionist, I now have a mesh router system on order. The entire power cord length is approx 9 ft max which is nice as I’m using soffit outlets. I was surprised to see electrical/sealing tape in the package. Smart. One disappointment is the Windows PC version of the Septekon app is very basic compared to the phone app. If all goes well with the mounting and new mesh network, I plan to get two more. Edit: 4 camera’s running now for a few months. Generally pleased with the system on a mesh router system. Most annoying features: the motion detector “person” function does not work well and annoying repeating messages to purchase an “upgrade” package. I gave up trying to run the PC version of the software.

UPDATE: Since writing this review I have been in contact with Septekon regarding the video stream dropping out every few days. Their responce has been excellent and they have made some suggestions to improve it which has reduced the frequency and they inform me that they are actively working on a firmware upgrade to permanently cure the problem. Their customer service has been excellent.If you want a cheap simple camera to work from an app this is suitable, If you need a more complex setup this camera has some limitations as described below.I run 6 ip cameras covering my property all displayed locally using ispy with remote access to them all using IPCamViwer on my iphone. When one camera failed I replaced it with the Septekon P30i camera.The camera set up easily using the app on my iphone. There is no other way to set it up as there is no web access as is available on all my other cameras (various makes). The set up options are also very limited, e.g. you can not set a fixed ip address (if you need a fixed ip address as I do then you need to allocate the address at the router), there is no picture adjustments apart from rotate, you cannot remove the time/date display off the image. The app does show the two available rtsp URL’s (HD and SD) which allowed me to easily connect the camera to ispy and IPCamViewer.The camera is wifi only (no ethernet connector), and only has a 5V connection power lead (the camera comes with a power adaptor and long lead). The picture is acceptable with the night vision better than my older cameras. The app works well on my iphone and sends me a notification if it views a person in my set window which would then allow me to go to the app to see who is there, however, there is a time delay of up to 30seconds which means that by the time the notification arrives the person has usually moved from my view. The image rotates with my iphone and can expand for a better view but on my android phone it does not rotate making it more difficult to view the image in permanent portrait mode.The good bits are therefore: Price, picture quality, simplicity, wifi connection is goodCons: In the week I have been using it the RTSP stream has locked out a few times even though the app image kept working and said the wifi connection was good. The only way to get a connection again is reboot the camera from the app or at its power supply.If I connect to the camera using IPCamViwer on my phone it stops the image on ispy, ie I can only connect one device to the stream at once.

Easy to install and great picture quality

Excellent product, very easy to set up, great value for money
