✔ PACKAGING AND COMPLETE SET

The camera arrived in an ordinary black bag, but it is true that the camera box in several layers was rewound with foam sheets, that's why the bag has such impressive dimensions.

The box itself was not damaged during shipment.

On the back of the box there is a small instruction on how to connect and the main "chips" of the camera.

Nothing dangles inside the box, the camera is in a separate cell, additional components are in a separate one. I give the highest score for the packaging.

The manufacturer decided to make the network power adapter of the camera with a microUSB connector, which is unusual, but pleases with the beginnings of unification among manufacturers.

The miniUSB plug is standard size, the adapter outputs 5V and 1A.

The camera consumes 0.25A and 1.3W during operation with the IR illumination turned off.

The general equipment is approximately the same for CCTV cameras.

The camera mount, the articulated head, after the camera is positioned, is tightly tightened with a screw in the sidewall.

Mounting dimensions 59 * 82 mm.

There is nothing useful in the manual, except for mentioning the MeShare software for connecting and controlling the camera. The instruction is in English only.

Also included were 3 screws and 3 dowels for attaching the camera.

Separately, the WiFi antenna was included in the kit, made of rather hard plastic, it bends with great difficulty.

Standard SMA male connector.

Antenna length 108 mm.

✔ APPEARANCE

In appearance cameras are nothing unusual, you can say a standard street camera. Made of a metal alloy, the manufacturer speaks of aluminum, but most likely silumin.

In the upper part there is a small visor and a threaded hole for attaching the camera. You can hang the camera upside down.

At the bottom there is the same hole and a sticker with the camera ID.

At the back of the SMA connector for WiFi connections antennas, a camera reset button (hold for about 15 seconds to reset), and a hermetically sealed power cable.

In the front of the camera, under the visor, the camera's "eye" is the leading video recording with a resolution of 1280 * 720 with a viewing angle of 70 degrees. Nearby are two large "night vision" IR LEDs and a light sensor at the bottom to automatically turn on these LEDs.

The "tail" of the camera is 40 cm long with a microUSB port.

You should not leave such a connection on the street, or drag it into the house or put on something rubber, since the first good downpour and short circuit I think cannot be avoided.

The weight of the chamber is 340 g.

The thickness is 60 mm and the length is 88 mm.

General view in the assembled state.

✔ WHAT'S INSIDE

In order to get to the inside of the camera, you need to unscrew the 4 screws around the perimeter of the plastic protection on the front of the camera. There is an elastic band around this plug to prevent moisture from entering the inside of the camera. Safety glass, it turned out to be glass, not transparent plastic, this is a plus, it will turn yellow less.

The case is not plastic, but inside, the Chinese have broken off to paint.

Disassembly procedure.

The insides are unadorned. The fee, by the way, is last year's.

To collect the condensate, 2 g of silica gel was placed inside the camera body.

Circuitry.

Everything inside the case is pretty well fixed and weatherproof.

In the upper part there is a flat steel plate, which, as I understand it, is a heat sink from the IR diodes.

✔ INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION

While fixed over front door, brought the power wire into the apartment.

It was not possible to photograph the IR illumination normally, the camera was "hammered" very brightly, at night in a dark corridor I already fear for my neighbor, he "amateur" will still think that the devils have come for him =).

Much has been written about setting up Zmodo cameras, how to connect, switch to another application, so I will briefly write the capabilities of the mobile application.
First, download the app for Android or iOs - MeShare. We register by email or mobile phone.

The connection really does not raise questions even for beginners, just select the Wireless device and enter the password for the WiFi network.

There are not many settings.

You can set the time interval when the camera will send notifications about movement, it is convenient when there is movement near the camera during the day, and, for example, no one should be in the field of view at night. You can send a link to the camera to your friends, but the cloud storage is not working yet, you will not be able to save the video to the cloud.

If necessary, you can set a schedule for the camera.

It is quite convenient that the camera's firmware is also updated from the mobile application and the manufacturer releases the firmware.

In the menu, you can see the latest alerts and if there are sensors for opening a door or smoke from a company of the same name, then information from them.

In the main menu of the camera, you can either simply watch videos with different LD - HD picture quality, take a photo or start recording a video on your smartphone.

But even without a smartphone at hand, you can watch what is happening or make your own settings via the web. You must log in to the site -
And then you can configure the camera in the same way as through mobile app and watch videos online.

A bit strange, you can turn the microphone on or off, but the camera itself does not have it.

Online viewing.

A rather useful feature of this camera is that it saves all alerts in the cloud, accompanying them with 5 captured frames. So, if the camera is stolen, then the thief's face will be caught and sent to the cloud.

You can also locally go to the internal IP address of the camera through a browser, but only through IE by installing additional plugins.

Using the browser, you can save the captured video locally to your computer, and not to a non-working cloud or phone.

Camera settings through the browser, much more than apk,

Configuring motion detection.

Ability to set new camera administrators.

In addition, you can download and install the program on your PC. ZViewer

And turn your PC into a DVR.

But smartphone app zmodo-app
I liked it more, at least because it has a normal gallery and you can view the captured photos and videos, unlike MeShare, where I never found the captured video and photos.
Before registering, you must reset the camera and remove it from MeShare.

Settings.

But alerts with the last 5 frames are written to the cloud in the same way, and the gallery works adequately.

Full screen viewing mode in a smartphone.

✔ EXAMPLES OF VIDEOS AND PHOTOS

The main difficulty lies in the fact that the camera records video in a very unpopular format * .265, so you can't play the video without dancing with a tambourine.

Examples of photos.

In the corridor.

Hello everyone.

We unscrew the light bulb.

IR illumination is enough for the entire corridor, it "shines" quite strongly.

✔ VIDEO REVIEW

As a plus, I will take a really good camera assembly, weather protection - IP65, power connection via micrpUSB is also a plus, you can easily move it home from the street and not look for an additional power supply. The quality of the shooting could have been higher, but the license plates of the car 20 meters from the camera can be seen. Alerts are also triggered quite far away, a boy walking in the parking lot near the car triggered the camera. I recommend software for a smartphone from zmodo, not meshare, since in Meshare, apart from promises to record in their cloud, I did not find anything interesting. Another plus is the presence of a web interface and the ability to make a recorder from a PC using "native" software. The disadvantages include the inability to quickly download and view the recorded video, you need to install additional software, and in the case of Meshare, it is generally impossible to find the recorded video in the smartphone in the future !!! The lack of internal storage for recording is also a minus, there is enough space for a microSD, but it is absent. The downside is the lack of a microphone, although the camera is positioned as an outdoor one, the microphone inside such a housing will only listen to the clicks of the relay of the switching IR LEDs.

IP cameras with Wi-Fi are used for remote, wireless monitoring of personnel and premises. Power can be supplied to them via a 12 V network, but they do not need a video cable, moreover, some of them can do without or other additional systems, the standard one is enough for transferring data to the cloud or to the phone, and if access to them no, the data will be saved to.

For installation at home and indoors, the reliability of the structure is not so important, therefore, protection from water will not be a priority, plastic is perfect as the main materials of the case. Sizes and functionality can vary significantly, and the variety of enclosure designs can be very wide. There are miniature options such as. Stationary cameras that can be installed on a table, put on a shelf, with or without the ability to rotate around their axis. Another option is to use it as a baby monitor, since many models have feedback and IR illumination. Power can be connected in two ways:

External power supply (USB cable).
Batteries or rechargeable battery.

The video can be viewed through an application or website on the Internet, as well as simply from a USB flash drive.

Wireless cameras for video surveillance systems

More professional devices can connect to NVRs (Network Video Recorders), transfer data to the cloud, to and save to a memory card or hard drive. Peculiarities:

Often they need a constant power supply on the 12V line.
They have better sensors and a sharper image.
Have more powerful LED illumination for night-time operation.

Wi-fi CCTV camera allows you to monitor the situation at home or at work from a distance. Often, such cameras are synchronized with alarm systems, so that in the event of illegal entry, a team of specially trained guys will put the villain out the door.

The device is controlled using a PC. It will be better if the first setting is done by a specialist - he will be able to correctly configure the video camera and tell you how to use it.

For outdoor video surveillance, it is better to use cameras with P2P technology (outdoor wi-fi P2P CCTV camera). It allows video monitoring over the Internet. On the network, this type of camera is identified using an ID code (unique an identification number device that never repeats is usually 14 or 12 digits long). The best models are IP006B and IPC - C 3310-R1.
