【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

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.

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!

There's been a spate of break-ins in our area recently and I wanted something affordable that was easy to install.This camera plugs into a normal socket, unlike other reviewers, my set came with a 3 pin plug and English instructions. You can connect via ethernet but mine is connected to my homes WiFi.With a built-in memory card, the hardest part about the install is getting my friend to install it on my external wall for me!It looks great and with access via my laptop or mobile phone, makes a great deterrent.At time of purchase, there was a good discount making this an affordable option.

The picture quality and zoom is good for a camera like this. But that characteristic is only good if you are watching the camera in live motion. The zoom function disappears when you are viewing recorded video.It does support 24/7 continuous recording but doesn’t do it as well as other cameras on the market.The app that this camera needs to function is below par and should not be used. It is extremely buggy and not well made.I would not recommend purchasing this camera and there are much better cameras available.
