HD 5MP Mini POE IP Camera,Indoor/Outdoor Security Mini IP Camera IP65 Waterproof 18 pcs LEDs IR Night Vision 3.6mm Lens,Small POE P2P Video Cam,Motion Detection (I704-P-HS)

Most products like this have a default static IP assigned at the factory, and they come with a tool to configure that IP address. Not this one! Works find if you're connecting it to a router that supplies IP addresses. Great image. Be aware that the IR filter is LOUD, so if you need this to be stealthy you should listen for clicking when it powers up or when it gets dark and see if that's OK for you. (Mine's going in a mailbox and I'm worried the postman will think twice.)If you're connecting it to an NVR (Dahua in my case), choose the NVR's option for ONVIF and know that the default login is admin/123456 (you should change that!). My NVR could see the camera at first, when it was the only one, but not after connecting other cameras. You'll need to download the mythical IPC Batch Tool (which I found a working copy of on hfwvision.com), to find and change the camera's IP. Be prepared to change your network IP a couple of times, because the cam must be a fixed IP in the NVR's address space. Not a job for beginners.

I have the waterproof outdoor model of the camera, and can actually put out 30 frames per second in H264 or H265 in RTSP or OnVif. The 30 FPS resolution is maxed at 2560 x 1440 (approximately 2x the resolution of 1080p). The device has an adjustable shutter speed, and all the features and functionality of the higher end cameras in an EXTREMELY small form factor. This is ideal for cameras which are not intended as a deterrent, but rather where you need to have a video stream without bringing much attention to the camera. High quality metal, good firmware (with a few wrong English words) but otherwise, checks all the boxes, and does what it needs to do very well. Dynamic IP Address acquisition, which can identified via your router or DHCP server, then you can login and assign it a static IP address. I personally would suggest you block its IP from accessing the internet, and access the video stream via your security server. Supports standard POE, so you only need an Ethernet cable to the location it is placed. Great value for a VERY low price. Get it...

Lasted 28 days, then died. Thank god I was able to return for refund. Junk.

In April of 2022 I put one of these into a window of our house that gets full sun during the day and doesn't get enough ventilation to stop the window from being covered in condensation most of the winter.It survived for nearly 3 years in that window exposed to constant heat and moisture.I order another one recently but it was DOA. I got link on the POE switch, but it wouldn't pick up an IP and I couldn't find the mac address in the switch. Tried an external power supply in case it was just an issue with the POE module but that didn't work either.

Synology does not mention the Revodata HD 5MP Mini POE IP Camera (IP65 waterproof version) in its list of supported cameras for Surveillance Station. However, SS v9.2.1 will recognize the camera when the camera's ONVIF mode is enabled. I could not find a way to allow the camera's motion detection to trigger recording. However, SS's motion detection worked fine.I tested viewing video streams in H265 and H264 modes. My version of SS will motion-detect when the camera is outputting in H264 only, which is minor disappointment given the high compression efficiency of H265. This is not a show-stopper for my needs.I did not test audio recording.My camera came configured with DHCP turned off and the IP address set to 192.168.1.21 with gateway set to 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask set to 255.255.255.0. Once logged into the camera's web interface, one can change the default network settings. None of these setting are mentioned in the sparse documentation.The camera does a good job when the ambient light is low and the IR illuminators are active. IR illumination can be switched off, in automatic as-needed mode, or according to a schedule.I plan to install this outdoors where it will be exposed to rain and dust. I will update this update if the camera fails in this setting.

I'm using this up against a peephole, in an apartment where I'm not allowed to change the peephole out or add a doorbell camera on the outside of the door. It's working fine for that, although I just see a small circle - maybe 1/6th the picture size) through the lens - but that's no fault of the camera, obviously.The selling point for me was that I can use ftp to upload motion-sensed images to my already-paid-for web space, as opposed to paying for a service, and it's working great for that. The "linklemo" phone app works to view it, and It also works with VLC on a computer, using it's rtsp address.

10M of infrared is a little lacking for a 5mp camera with a 3.6mm lens and 1/3" sensor. You also cannot control the IR, it comes on using a photoresistor, and cannot be turned off, but you can force it to color mode at night if you have enough lighting to use it.The cameras resolution can see much further.this is the first cheap amazon camera I got that I liked.the Web browser interface works in edge with ie compatibility enabled, and is better than most cameras this price.Its pretty ruggedly made, looks and feels a little like an aftermarket LED pod light housing for an off road vehicle. The image looks great, and unlike other cheap cameras it streamed consistently without dropping offline every few min. like my "bluefishcam"

Focus and zoom work great. Good image quality. Familiar web setup to other IP cameras. Has worked great for my purposes -- indoor process monitoring via Frigate.
