✔ PACKAGING AND COMPLETE SET

The camera arrived in an ordinary black bag, but the truth is that the camera box was wrapped in several layers of polystyrene foam, which is why the package has such impressive dimensions.

The box itself was not damaged during shipment.

On the back of the box there is a small instruction for connecting 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 top marks for packaging.

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

Standard size miniUSB plug, adapter outputs 5V and 1A.

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

The general equipment is approximately the same for CCTV cameras.

Fasteners of the camera, the articulated head, after the camera is exposed, is tightly pressed with a screw in the sidewall.

Mounting dimensions 59 * 82 mm.

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

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

Separately, we put a WiFi antenna into the kit, made of rather hard plastic, it bends with great difficulty.

Standard SMA male connector.

Antenna length 108 mm.

✔ APPEARANCE

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

At the top there is a small visor and a threaded hole for mounting the camera. You can hang the camera upside down.

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

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

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

The "tail" of the camera's power supply 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 a short circuit, I think, cannot be avoided.

The weight of the camera is 340 gr.

Thickness 60mm and length 88mm.

General view in the assembled state.

✔ WHAT'S INSIDE

In order to get to the insides 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 chamber. The protective glass 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 broke off the paint.

Disassembly order.

Internals without embellishment. By the way, it's last year's.

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

Circuitry.

Inside the case, everything is pretty well fixed and protected from the weather.

At the top is a flat steel plate, which, as I understand it, is a heat sink from the IR diodes.

✔ INSTALLATION AND SETUP

While I fixed it above the front door, I led the power wire into the apartment.

I didn’t manage to take a normal picture of the IR illumination, the camera “clogged” shines very brightly, at night in a dark corridor I’m already afraid for my neighbor, he’s an “amateur” still thinking that the devils have come for him =).

A lot has already been written about setting up Zmodo cameras, how to connect, switch to another application, so I will briefly write about the capabilities of the mobile application.
To get started, download the application for Android or iOs - MeShare. 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 motion notifications, 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 cloud storage until it works, you won't be able to save the video to the cloud.

If necessary, you can set the camera schedule.

It is quite convenient that the camera 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 door or smoke sensors from the company of the same name, then information from them.

In the main menu of the camera, you can either simply watch videos with different picture quality LD - HD, 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 settings via the web. You need to login to the site -
And then you can configure the camera in the same way as through mobile app and watch videos online.

A little strange, you can turn the microphone on or off, but there is none in the camera itself.

Online viewing.

A rather necessary 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, the thief's face will be caught and sent to the cloud.

You can also access the internal IP address of the camera locally through a browser, but only through IE by installing additional plug-ins.

Using a 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 through apk,

Motion detection setting.

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 the smartphone app zmodo-app
I liked it more, at least for the fact that 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 view on smartphone.

✔ EXAMPLES VIDEOS AND PHOTOS

The main difficulty lies in the fact that the camera records video in a very unpopular *.265 format, so the video cannot be lost without dancing with a tambourine.

Photo examples.

In the corridor.

Hi all.

Unscrew the light bulb.

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

✔ VIDEO REVIEW

As a plus, I’ll 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 better, but you can see the license plates of the car 20 meters from the camera. Alerts also work 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 I didn’t find anything interesting in Meshare, except for promises to record in their cloud. Another advantage is the presence of a web interface and the ability to make a registrar 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’s 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 microSD, but it is missing. The downside is the lack of a microphone, although the camera is positioned as an outdoor camera, the microphone inside such a case will only listen to the clicks of the relay that switches the IR LEDs.

Wi-fi surveillance 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 put the villain out the door.

The device is controlled by a PC. It would be better if the first setup is done by a specialist - he will be able to correctly set up the camcorder and tell you how to use it.

If a decade earlier, the ability to connect CCTV cameras was limited only to pulling a large number cables to each device from the central control module, today there is a great opportunity to do without entangling everything around with annoying wires. Wireless connection of all elements of video surveillance among themselves today can be carried out thanks to the well-known and affordable Wi-Fi wireless technology.

The main advantage of a WiFi CCTV camera is, of course, that there is no need to lay long cables, which saves both time and cash. With the help of WiFi cameras, you can realize wireless connection each device at a distance of up to 100 meters in a straight line, in the absence of interference in the form of walls, houses, trees, etc. If intermediate signal extenders are introduced into the system, the distance can be increased to several kilometers. wifi cameras s, as well as wired video surveillance devices, are divided into street and home according to the housing design.

Main functional features

Wireless IP Camera - Key Features

Modern IP cameras with WiFi have a number of unique characteristics that distinguish them from wired analog systems. Thanks to the ability to transmit a signal without the help of wires, as well as their compact size and high mobility, these cameras are very easy to install and, if necessary, easily change their location without the help of specialists. Most Wi-Fi cameras can act as an access point, allowing you to easily connect to them directly from a laptop, PC, or mobile phone wirelessly and view the camera image. For this, there are special applications that are suitable for all modern mobile and computer operating systems.

With the help of such cameras, you can easily set up the broadcast of a video stream on the Internet - you just need to connect it to a router connected to a computer, enter the IP address in the browser (the IP address, as well as the login with the password must be written in the instructions or on the bottom of the camera), make all the necessary settings, then unplug the cable from the camera and connect to it via Wi-Fi. Now it remains to configure the signal transmission to the Internet using, which in some cases comes with the kit, or download it from the Internet.

Some devices are equipped with a motion sensor and IR illumination. The presence of the first allows you to start recording only after the appearance of motion in the field of view of the camera, which saves disk space, and also simplifies the task of viewing the archive. IR illumination, imperceptible to the human eye, makes it possible to conduct video surveillance even in complete darkness.

As additional option the manufacturer sometimes implements the ability to record to an internal drive - a Micro SD card. This function can be very useful in some situations, for example: when the signal is broken, the WiFi IP camera will record what is happening on the card, so you will not miss anything important during a connection loss. It can also come in handy for any event outside the home, or simple life moments.

In some cases, manufacturers of WiFi security cameras include a panning mechanism that can be controlled remotely. Thanks to this feature, you can change the field of view of the camera as you like directly from your smartphone or computer.

If you want to install covert video surveillance at home, in your country house or office, you will need special miniature cameras. Learn about what models of hidden cameras exist today, as well as the nuances of their installation and possible problems with the law you can.
Today, there are miniature wireless cameras with WiFi and recording to a Micro SD card that fit easily in the palm of your hand and do not take up much space. They can be used for a variety of purposes, from offline recording of an event to covert surveillance. You can read about wireless mini camcorders at the link.

IP cameras with WiFi with online function

Today, the so-called cloud surveillance cameras are gaining great popularity, which are capable of transmitting a video stream to the Internet with further online viewing in real time from any device with Internet access. The IVideon service can rightly be considered a pioneer in the field of online video surveillance in Russia, and now we will give an example of good and stylish video surveillance cameras with support for this cloud service.

Cloud Camera Nobelic NBQ-1110F

Another HD IP camera with WiFi from the IVideon service is the recently launched stylish Nobelic NBQ-1110F camera with online function, which is slightly cheaper than ocO, but has almost identical characteristics, and in some moments even surpasses it. The viewing angle of the Nobelic camera is even wider - 125 ° horizontally, and the matrix resolution is 1280x960. There is also an IR illumination, a built-in Micro SD card, which, by the way, comes in the kit (16 GB), two-way audio, motion and sound detection, and other nice little things. The camera is also connected in a matter of minutes via a QR code.

ocO - wireless online HD camera

The most popular camera from IVideon is the IP CCTV camera with WiFi with online ocO function, which by its characteristics is quite versatile and suitable for a wide range of users - from ordinary housewives to successful businessmen.

The camera fits perfectly into any interior and becomes its integral part. Setting up the camera takes just a few minutes - all the initial actions for setting up the camera are carried out through a special application for mobile devices running Android and iOS. Among the main characteristics of the device, one can single out a wide viewing angle - 120 ° diagonally, as well as HD recording resolution, so that not a single detail will go unnoticed. On top of everything else, the ocO camera features two-way audio so you can talk to whoever you see thanks to the built-in speaker. The presence of a motion and sound detector allows the camera to send you a notification on mobile phone when these occur, this is a great feature that will come in handy when the camera is used as a babysitter video for a small child. There is also the possibility night shooting with built-in IR illumination. And, of course, the main advantage is the possibility of remote video surveillance and storage of records in the IVideon cloud.

A budget option for an online IP camera with Wi-Fi support on this moment is the camera KARKAM KAM-001. This device, in addition to wireless communication, supports work in the cloud service of the manufacturer camcloud.ru, and also has a slot for installing Micro SD memory cards and a built-in 500 mAh battery, and can work autonomously. The shooting resolution is 1280x720, the horizontal viewing angle is 90°. It is possible to install a 3G / 4G modem. Also, the camera has a built-in IR illumination, which allows you to conduct video surveillance even in complete darkness. Pretty good device good performance for relatively small price- 4990 rubles at the time of writing.

IP camera with WiFi for home

Wi-Fi cameras for home use, unlike street cameras, do not have a special protective case, so they can only be used indoors. Such cameras can be installed in an office, shop, apartment or house, if these places do not have unfavourable conditions to operate the device: high humidity, high temperatures, or the possibility of vandalism by any of the ill-wishers. Indoor WiFi cameras for the home can vary in size: standard, compact and hidden cameras.

Standard cameras have virtually no external differences from similar wired IP and analog devices, and, as a rule, are made in the form of small dome or box cameras. Miniature devices are not like standard cameras video surveillance, and in case design have some similarities with conventional web cameras. they are very small in size, and can be installed discreetly - they are often built into walls under plaster, or disguised as interior items, but this is not entirely legal.

IP camera with WiFi module DEFENDER Multicam WF-10HD. ~ 5 - 7 tr.

As an example of a miniature IP camera with WiFi for the home, we can cite the relatively budget model DEFENDER Multicam WF-10HD, with a recording resolution of 1280 × 720, and compact dimensions of 4.7x4.7x1.4 cm. This device has a wide viewing angle of 100 °, built-in battery , a microphone for recording an audio stream, as well as the ability to record on a Micro SD card. Judging by the reviews, this camera is not well suited for, as it is tied to its own cloud service, which has some malfunctions. As an analogue, you can consider Easy Eye or Sycloud cameras at the same price.

wifi camera Beward BD43CW. About 12 tr.

Among the more expensive cameras there is an interesting model BEWARD BD43CW. This device has a Full HD 1920x1080 recording resolution, which allows you to get a picture of very high definition. It is also possible to choose a lens with the required focal length - 2.8 (angle of view 91 °), 4 mm (71 °), 6 mm (51 °) , 8 mm (40 °), 12 mm (27 °), 16 mm (20°).

Other characteristics of home IP camera with WiFi BEWARD BD43CW:

Camera sensor resolution 2 MP, physical dimensions 1/2.7;
There is a Day/Night function;
Sensitivity 0.1 lux (day) / 0.05 lux (night);
The device has 2 powerful IR projectors, which allows you to shoot in complete darkness.

Other manufacturers include the following brands of cameras:

D-link;
TP Link;
Axis;
Samsung;
Panasonic;
Cisco;
dropcam;
Falcon Eye, and others.

The most common are D-link brand devices. This manufacturer has a very rich selection of cameras from budget models to expensive professional devices. If you plan to extend the functionality of the camera using third-party software, you must purchase devices with an open API.

WiFi Outdoor IP Camera

To withstand any weather conditions, precipitation, extreme heat or severe frost, the outdoor WiFi camera must have a special sealed protective case. In some cases, to operate the device in cold winter conditions, the chambers are equipped with an internal heating system. They may also have other protective elements and additional functions:

Visor to protect the lens from atmospheric precipitation;
Powerful IR illumination for shooting in complete darkness;
Built-in motion sensor for video recording of all moving objects;
Swivel mechanism that increases the possibility of viewing the territory.

Outdoor IP camera with Wi-Fi support ZODIAK 935W. Cost from 12 to 14 tr.

As an example, let's take a dome, thanks to which an overview of almost 360 ° is carried out - an outdoor rotary IP WiFi camera ZODIAK 935W. The resolution of the device's matrix is 1 megapixel, the video is recorded in 1280x960 format, therefore, the image quality will be good. This device is able to withstand temperatures from -25 to +55 ° C. There is also the possibility of night shooting thanks to 22 IR LEDs built into the camera. Minimum focal length lens 4 mm, maximum - 9 mm.

Outdoor Budget Wireless IP Camera VStarcam C7816WIP

The budget choice will be the outdoor WiFi surveillance camera VStarcam C7816WIP, costing 7 thousand rubles. The device has the possibility of wired and wireless connection via wi-fi, protective housing class IP 67 (dust and moisture resistant). The operating temperature range declared by the manufacturer is from -25 to +45 °С. This model has a high video resolution (720x1280), so you should not worry about the image quality - it is more than worthy. The only obvious disadvantage of the device is a small viewing angle - 56 °, which will not be enough for general control of a large area, but it will be enough for video surveillance of a certain small object or a small area. It is possible to install a micro SD card. This Wi-Fi camera is very easy to set up and install because it supports and does not require a dedicated static IP address.

The main disadvantage of outdoor IP cameras with WiFi is insufficient signal strength when the cameras are far away from the main receiver. This issue can be resolved in several ways:

Install an amplifying external antenna;
Use intermediate signal extenders - repeaters;
Take the access point outside - without signal absorbers in the form of walls, and other obstacles, the signal transmission range can reach 100 meters;
Install a signal amplifier for the router, or more powerful equipment;
For maximum compatibility, you must use equipment from the same manufacturer.

Connecting and configuring wireless cameras

To install IP surveillance cameras with Wi-Fi, in most cases, you need to follow these steps:

Initially, you should connect to the router via a network UTP cable;
We connect the router via the same UTP cable to the computer;
Then we enter the IP address of the camera in the address bar of any browser, and go to the settings - the IP address, login and password are usually indicated by the manufacturer on a sticker under the camera;
Now we configure all the necessary parameters according to the instructions - wireless connection, type of video stream (adjusted based on signal strength - the weaker the signal, the lower the image resolution must be selected);
Reboot the device, disconnect network cable and connect via Wi-Fi;
Install software from the supplied disk, or download the necessary software for video surveillance on the Internet.

Scheme of connecting an IP camera to a PC via WiFi and creating access via the Internet

To provide remote access to the camera, you can use the service from IVideon. In free use, there is a limit on the number of connected cameras in the amount of 2 pcs, which is quite enough for home use. Remote video surveillance using IVideon is provided by two free programs - Ivideon Server and IVideon Client: the first is installed on the computer to which Wi-Fi cameras will be directly connected, the second on the device from which remote monitoring is planned (the program can be installed on Android, iOS , and other modern operating systems). To install a large video surveillance system using this service, you need to choose a suitable tariff and pay for the services.

Video surveillance over the Internet today is implemented quite simply with the help of special cloud services. You can read more about creating remote access using the IVideon service at.

IP cameras with Wi-Fi are quite easy to install with your own hands, however, if you doubt your abilities, or plan to connect a 3D video surveillance system, then it is better to turn to specialists, because it is more reasonable to pay a small amount once than to hire the same specialists to fix your problems. flaws in the installation and connection of the system. Good luck!

Oh sure, this feature takes place, but sometimes the benefits PTZ cameras cover their shortcomings. In I gave advice on the use of static cameras along with PTZ cameras - when static cameras are installed to constantly monitor the territory, and one PTZ is additionally installed to quickly respond to non-standard situations. Only in this case it is possible to achieve the maximum efficiency of the system.

Now outdoor battery wifi cameras have appeared on sale, which are completely devoid of wires. The camera can operate on batteries for 2..3 months, after which it is required to change the 18650 battery (s) inside the camera. Quite a cool idea ...
