This outdoor camera has exceeded all my expectations in terms of quality, performance, and durability. The 4K resolution provides stunningly clear and detailed footage, capturing every corner and detail with exceptional clarity. The night vision allows me to monitor my property effectively, even in complete darkness. The camera’s intelligent detection features are top-notch. With capabilities like intrusion detection, line crossing, and precise vehicle and personnel classification, I can trust it to identify potential security threats in real-time. The dynamic tracking feature is particularly impressive, as it automatically follows movement, ensuring no activity goes unnoticed. The H.265 codec technology ensures efficient video compression without sacrificing quality, which is great for saving storage space.

The metal casing is of high quality and provides excellent protection, making this camera resistant to damage from the elements.

The 3D noise reduction feature significantly enhances image clarity, even in low-light conditions, further improving the overall video quality. This 4K surveillance camera offers incredible performance and peace of mind. It’s a fantastic addition to my home security system, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality outdoor camera that provides detailed and intelligent monitoring.

This is a great camera. I use it at my elderly parents. I've been using it a few weeks now. The picture is clear and beat if all it also functions as a light. I love it I may order another foe their back door

Excellent camera, works well, and the app is straightforward to use.Picture quality is good.Connection setup is easy.

Great camera for my home. Straight out the box I could tell this camera was good quality. It’s sturdy and doesn’t feel cheap at all. The camera was easy to set up and the picture quality is just as clear as my other cameras. This was a great find !

The media could not be loaded. I bought this to replace an old camera and this one actually does work with my system. I had purchased one prior to this that advertised it would work but after returning this, I purchased this one and it really does work. The whole camera was really easy to install as I just installed this in the same spot my old one was at. When I installed this, the temperatures were roughly in the 70s. However, after a couple of weeks being installed, we had a big dust storm roll through and even though a lot of dirt and pebbles hit this camera, the part that covers the lens was not scratched but even during the storm I could still see things while the camera was running. We recently had some rain and hail and again, this camera is still working. Clear views even from a good distant.

It works pretty well and the image quality is as described. BlueIris will find the cam and establish the connection once you get the camera on the same subnet. The camera does not have DHCP assignment set by default for some dumb reason, so if you don't put it on a 110.0.0.x network, expect a headache. The recommended software is as janky as any other Chinese cam software and I still haven't gotten the audio working, but it may be user error and I haven't cared enough to start troubleshooting yet. All in all, it's a pretty solid cam if you can get through the setup process. Don't expect anything fancy, it's just another cam. I would buy again if I couldn't find a deal on something similar.

Updated review from 1 to 4 stars:While the camera mount is terrible and arrived broken - I would not recommend the camera simply because if the mount - the seller was great and provided a replacement mount.The camera itself is metal, with very good image quality day and night.************The included mount is brittle, plastic and arrived broken just from shipping. The actual camera is metal, and I am used to Dahua cameras, and any security camera intended for outside use, to have a full metal mount. Security cameras are often installed in difficult to reach areas and any fragile plastic to save money will only cost more money in the future.Clearly if the included plastic mount could not survive shipping, it was likely to fail in extreme weather even if the mount had arrived intact. Rather than return the broken unit, I repurposed an old metal Dahua mount (the metal camera was fine) but will not buy another camera with such a cheap plastic mount.

I bought this as a higher resolution upgrade for my existing Dahua cameras. Works great, love it!Note: I did need to swap out the old Dahua wall mount plate. (Same screw holes could be reused, though)
