Excellent camera, now with the killer feature
I own a lot of SV3C cameras (I have a large area) and enjoy playing with them as the technology improves (rapidly), along with the additional security they offer. This camera has a game changing feature that has been silently introduced, a humanoid tracking facility, this means you get recording of the person as they move, excellent!This camera comes in secure packaging with everything required for setup (excluding SD card).The camera is a full metal body and the SD card (64GB) is easily installed by removing 2 screws, a water tight seal is ensured with a rubber gasket, much improved on other models.Before mounting, you first connect to your LAN via supplied cable, and find the camera using LAN search of the CamHi app. Once found, change the password and setup the WIFI and you are good to go.The mounting method is to best I have seen yet. A metal mounting plate is screwed in place and then you mount the camera with a single securing screw. This seems trivial but in my case, this is to a chimney breast on a roof, so the less hands required the better. Cameras are best place in hard to access locations so the less hands required the better!The camera is monitored via the CamHi App, which I know well and find very easy to use. It has recently been upgraded to support 4 camera mode which is a really useful feature for a quick update. Wifi connectivity was 85% with the dual antenna, so no complaints there.You can get numerous types of notification which I find you get bored of the notifications pretty quickly but the new improved humanoid detection may make false notifications a thing of the past, time will tell.I store triggered video on the SD card and if easy to access on a local FTP server. As this camera is located on a roof, ftp is not required! The 5MP camera with optical zoom means the camera can be located on a roof, and use the optics to fine tune detection over time. A fixed focus camera could be used but takes much more effort. The other thing to mention is the pan and tilt is very good at dislodging cobwebs, I have learnt the hard way, that spiders like a lense to make "house". Image quality in day and night time is super as you would expect from a 5MP sensor with sufficient IR illumination.As to the main feature, the tracking feature. I have setup an area to focus upon (of sufficient quality) and once a "humanoid" is detected, it tracks the movement and once complete returns to the previous position. So far, this "sentry mode" is a killer feature, as focussing on a large area with limited zoom, captures something but not enough detail. Setting up a zone for detection with tracking seems a great feature. What is also not clear, is the floodlight capability of the camera. If it detects something, it turns on some impressive LEDs and illuminates the area. It all helps to deter would be criminals.As to the "wish list", I have a couple of points- The pan and tilt is easy to use but I wish there was a fine adjustment mode as I find I want it in between the two adjustment but maybe that is limited by the motor.- I have never received a firmware update to any of the cameras I own, a lot of these features would be gratefully received on existing camerasIn summary, this is the best camera I have now, many superb features, I am very impressed.

Good quality PTZ with metal shell body
The media could not be loaded. I have bought a few of Sv3c wifi security cameras. I needed to upgrade the camera covering my large garden so went for this latest model the 5mp PTZ CCTV Camera outdoor, 1080P pan tilt and 5x zoom security camera with metal shell body it is heavier than normal and well built. This camera is ONVIF IP compatible & IP66 weatherproof and has 10 IR LED lights for clear night time pictures. I had installed last year model of this camera in the black colour on my driveway and after nearly one year still very pleased with the performance.This camera has a plate with 4 holes that comes off you fit this on to the walll then the camera fits on top of plate and held together with a screw. Really simple to fit you need an electric shocket nearby to connect the power only. However you can get a 5 or 10 meter camera extension from amazon i bought a 5 meter which i use.This works off camhi app which has a newer version i have used this previously and is easy to set up, now gives 4 camera windows on one screen. All the settings are done on the app even the pan tilt as shown in the video attached. Day time and night pictures are of good quality in SD and HD is even better. This has smart motion detection has humanoid which avoids false notifications. The notification are sent to your phone app or email when motion is detected. You have option of setting the area you want to cover for motion detection and set the senstivity. However i have turned off the motion detection and only turned on humanoid and it works fine. Camera supports SD card recording up to 128gb (not supplied). I am inserted a 64gb sd card which is sufficient. This has two way audio with built-in microphone and speaker giving you the option to talk to anyone near the camera when you are home or away. Considering the quality and features of this camera the high price is still good value in for the price. Will update after a few months of usage.

Good quality, reliable and ONVIF compatible
Built Quality: Camera is made of aluminium metal and is sturdy, like most PTZ camera the camera scans all areas before defaulting to fixed position and good thing is there is no noise while the camera is turning around.Setup: Camera setup was straight forward, I connected to LAN and used CamHi app to add camera and it literally took 5 mins to finish the set up.Installation: Wall mounting was fairly quick with 4 holes to drill and 5 screws. It was quick and easy.Video: video quality is very good and clear. Brightness, saturation, contrast and exposure are completely customisable so it can be adjusted to the location lightings. There is a slight blur spot in the night vision but can still see through and the alerts work. PTZ works smoothly and has amazing 5x optical zoom.Edit: the blur spot during night vision was gone after a day, it was due to residual moisture in packaging which dried off during the day time.Audio: I placed my camera near my front door and its quite handy to talk to someone at door and you are not home.Open Spec: This cam is compatible with ONVIF specs, so it was easy to plugin with my existing NVR system.Motion Detection: Humanoid recognition works decently and the threshold is customisable. The combination works great to get right amount of notifications I need.Storage and Alerts: The FTP is quite helpful to store videos in external storage as backup and email notifications help to get non intrusive alerts while app notifications can be used for intrusive alerts.Overall, it is a really good cam with all necessary customisable options and very good value for money.
