25fps 1080P HDR WiFi Security Camera Indoor, Ctronics IP Security Camera with Upgraded Night Vision, Motion & Sound Detection, Two-Way Audio, 355°Angle for Baby, Pet, Home Surveillance

This is my fourth wifi camera I've added to my home. In addition to this unit I've also tried the Wyze and a Blink XT camera. For indoor use I've found this one to be the best so far. It's a few bucks more than the Wyze but the difference is well-worth the extra. For starters, this Ctronics unit comes with a longer cord and a (admittedly no-frills, but functional) wall/ceiling mount out of the box. Those bits tend to be extras with other cameras. The Ctronics also has some extra features that are compelling. Setup: Was super-simple. Installed the app, created an account, and then just had to power-on the camera and show it the QR code my phone was displaying. The camera recognized the picture right away, acquired all the necessary settings, and performed a firmware update in just under a minute. The UI flow was smooth and the interface was polished and worked well. One tiny snag was I tried to use the "log in with facebook" (oAuth/2) versus creating another account, but that led to an error. Not faulting the camera because it was just as likely a facebook issue as theirs. I would like to see more oAuth options like Google/Twitter in addition to Facebook and WeChat since few US users have a WeChat account but that's minimal. Usage and Mobile App: The mobile app was well designed and executed (I'm a software developer by trade so it's easy to spot apps that are not). The layout was consistent and intuitive, and the navigation made it easy to explore all the extra features that I wasn't immediately aware of. A few very minor mistranslations were the only fault I could find. Features: Exceptional. The Ctronics cam supports ONVIF for streaming (just needs to be enabled in the app). Another nice touch was the ability to geofence the device. I don't need to see a bunch of motion detection alerts from the indoor cameras when I'm home - With the Ctronics you can setup geofencing and when you/your phone are in a specific area, the camera will go to sleep until you leave. This is awesome for reducing nuisance alerts. Also includes a "flip image" feature to restore the orientation if you opt to ceiling-mount the device. Video Quality: Solid. Night vision quality is above average as well. I tested the intercom function and it was fine - so long as your phone and the camera aren't in the same room - if they are you get echo/feedback but that's unavoidable. (And why would you be chatting with someone via a camera and your phone if they're 2 meters away? :-) ) Other notes: IT'S QUIET! Yaaaay! I've had to disable motion-detection/following on my other cameras because the motor/gear noise is too obtrusive to my wife and family. The Ctronics is whisper-quiet. You won't have to worry about it waking up babies or pets when it tracks motion in its field of view. It can also trigger based on sound. The trigger levels of both video and audio can be adjusted in the app as well. Tips: Buy an SD card with it because the only cloud storage option out of the box is the manufacturers 7-day free trial, then you'd have to start paying. I didn't explore the cost or details of that. Final thoughts: This is a rock-solid Wifi camera that has features both the beginning user and sophisticated makers will enjoy. The quietness of the unit is a refreshing change. Both the device firmware and the mobile app appeared to be high-quality software in my estimation. If you're the type of person to actually read terms and conditions, there will be provisions therein that sound odd to a US or EU citizen but are standard boilerplate to CN users, and the privacy policy is mostly harmless and probably irrelevant for non-Sino customers anyways. All in all a very good buy. Full Disclosure: The manufacturer provided me one of these to review. I don't feel that compromises my ability to be objective and provide honest feedback. I would purchase this unit with my own funds - in fact I am planning on purchasing another one of these to replace a Wyze unit in a common area that's too loud.

This is an awesome camera. I had bought a PetCube to use with my pups, but found out they didn't like the treat being thrown at them. I tried several surveillance cameras and this one definitely wins. I can't think of one thing negative to say about it. It was easy to set-up. It has a great picture at the lowest resolution but you can also increase the resolution to get an even better picture. I love the noise detection. I use this camera daily at work to make sure my fur babies are behaving, so I keep the volume muted. When they get too noisy, I get notified so I know to take a peek and see what they are up to. You can set the sensitivity of the sound detection. It also has motion detection and it works well. I don't use it though because I hope my pups are moving about through the day. I don't need to be notified when they do. I also haven't used the night vision because I always leave the light on when I leave them. I did try it out though and was blown away by what the camera picked up in a dark room. I could definitely make out everything in the room. Don't spend more money then you need to. This camera beats higher priced cameras hands down.

I have six indoor cameras and they’re all from different manufacturers. This Ctronics model really excels at night. It captures more detail than its competition. (Image on the left is with this camera, the darker one is a competitor). The app is CloudEdge and it is pretty user friendly-the setup was very quick. Much faster than the screeching slow setup used by the JAWA app. My only complaint is that I can’t zoom in when I play back video from the cloud-have to save it to a device and then I can zoom in. Daylight/lights on color images are very sharp and vibrant. I also like that it is black. I’ve had no issues accessing the camera through my phone from any location. It rotates quietly and picks up and transmits sound pretty well. If I need another indoor camera then I will buy this model. *The company transferred the cost of this camera to me plus an extra $5.

Quit working after 3 months. Emailed customer service q week ago and still no answer. Would not buy again! This was very easy to setup, about 2 minutes. Just make sure it is close to your router or hot spot. I really like the fact that you can pan the camera to see everything in the room. Night vision works as it should. Picture quality is great in the 1040 position. Motion detection works very good. The medium sensitivity is the setting I used. The only thing that I don’t like is the app. Only one device can view the camera picture at a time. Not a great problem.

Reviewing this guy "25fps 1080P HDR WiFi Security Camera Indoor, Ctronics IP Security Camera with Upgraded Night Vision, Motio..." What I like: - easy setup - dang near the 2 minutes they said it would be - good video/image quality - not choppy - PTZ , 2-way audio and motion detection for under $50!!! - easy to use mobile app What I'm not crazy about: - The manufacturer says this is ONVIF compliant but there's no documentation for how to get to/set the username/password on the camera. The autoscan features on 3 different onvif clients find the camera but any of the username/password combo's i tried don't work. - This camera doesn't even appear on the ctronics website so I have no idea where to find documentation for it. I tried emailing through amazon but the lag in communication makes it tough to stick with it. The manufacturer is determined to make sure we're happy but my attention span isn't that long. - I'd love to be able to see and set some advanced features if there are any (like static IPs) and I see there may be a web interface to the camera but no documentation on username/passwords to get into it - The motion detection is only on or off. There's no known way to configure it either to be scheduled or focus on zones. The alerts get annoying so i just shut it off - Would be great if there were a few more degrees of vertical motion on the PTZ Overall this is a super camera with a wide range of features you wouldn't normally find in a camera at this price point or even a more costly price. Hard to beat for $49 minus a $10 coupon. If you're looking to do some advanced configuration though, this might not be for you. They have some more commercial/industrial cameras that would probably be a better pick.

I have used a few different cameras in the price range, each from a different manufacture. I use them as security cameras inside watching entry points and to keep an eye on pets. Setup on this camera is very simple. Download the app, register an account, input wifi login info and face the generated QR code at the camera to configure it. Within a couple minutes it is setup and operational. The app is decent with no crashes or bugs that I discovered. The only downside is the camera will only connect to 2.4ghz wifi, 5ghz is not an option. Picture quality is on par with what I would expect from a 1080p camera and while 25FPS does not produce truly smooth motion, motion/video is as good as many security camera systems for a lot more money. Night vision works very well indoors and will “light up” an entire room. Outdoors range is limited as expected but is good enough for security camera use for 20ft or so in wide open area (remember the night vision/IR reflects off glass) Motion detection is fast, giving alerts to my phone within 5 seconds of the camera sensing it. I installed a 32gb sd card and it consistently saves clips. Camera head position can be controlled by your phone and the speaker/intercom work well for being so small. As someone with many cameras like this from different companies, if you are going to buy a few cameras, my recommendation is to buy them all from one company so all of the cameras can be viewed under one app. While there are quite a few different cameras that look like this one for sale, they are not all identical. This camera has features that the competition does not and works very well, highly recommended.

We have both Foscam and Ctronics, both which are 25fps and 1080. Ctronics has a slightly faster, more intuitive, and more reliable app, CloudEdge. Overall, the app is set up and does the same things as the Foscam app, but just slightly better in subtle ways and less prone to disconnect. Meanwhile, the Ctronics camera, although it connects well, is more silent, and has a good speaker, has some fallbacks versus Foscam. Ctronics camera has a limited up/down pan, which means that if you place the camera on a kitchen counter or bookshelf, it probably wouldn't capture the floor (for babies and pets). Ctronics lease seems to capture 25% less angle than the Foscam. Ctronics LED lights are more annoying (bright blue activity light in the front at night, along with a red infared light. I used masking tape to dampen the blue light). Ctronics install hardware is cheap (all the screws snapped while I used a power drill to screw them into my plaster wall. The mount also is not as versatile as the Foscam mount, which means that you have less alternatives wrt angles. Because Ctronics has been reliable and does the job, I am OK with it, but wish it had the better angles and mounts.

This camera was super easy to set up and install on my living room wall. The video/picture is full HD, so it's really clear and bright. The app is also easy to use and loads the video quickly. I was very impressed with the amount of functionality of the app from setting up notifications to motion/noise detection, and even privacy settings so you can turn the camera off manually or set up a time. One feature I didn't realize I'd like, which my other camera doesn't have, is the status light. You can turn this off/on for privacy so your guests don't feel like they're being recorded. My kid used to dance in front of the camera every time he saw the light on, and while it was entertaining I'm glad I figured out how to turn the status light off. The one thing I wish was better would be for the camera to be able to rotate 360 degrees. There is some limited rotation with my camera being mounted in a corner at the top of my living room wall, but it's not a big deal because I can see the whole room, I just prefer not to see part of one of my walls. This camera is great and I'd definitely recommend it.
