DEKCO 5MP Security Camera Outdoor with Color Night Vision (Cream)

Pros-- Camera has a lot of features- Quality in day/night is great- Lights are a great feature- Installation is quick- WIFI range is good, no lag- Can set a detection area- Can watch camera feed on browser/pc app- Can fully control the movement of the camera- Easy to quickly take a photo or record the screen- When it detects something it takes a snapshot/timestamp which is useful- Built in alarm system with siren and lights to deter criminals- So far has handled strong winds and rain good- WIFI strength is 100% for us, even when we moved it onto other side of the house it was still 70%+- Talk system works well & alarm system is loud enough to draw attention to your home- Decent at reading license plates clearly and tracking human movement- Does a good job at motion detecting humans/cars and records just for the right amount of time- Indicator light to show people its live and the light is blue not red (most dummy cctv use red lights)- Alert messages in the app are easy to use, can click on the snapshot or click the media icon to view video- Support is quick to message back answering questionsCons -- If you have a power cut or have a short the camera network resets and have to take it down to setup- Cant disable the microphone so you have no choice but to record sound- Microphone is very sensitive i can hear people from the other side of the field i live next to- Camera simply slots on a bracket, would be easy to knock it off and rob- SD card slot & reset button is underneath easy to take and press- If someone climbs up they can easily take the SD card and pull the camera off- Cable is too short, we just mounted it right next to a window and drilled through frame- Motion detection sometimes doesn't pick things up- Camera cable cant be disconnected so you have to drill a hole bigger than it needs to be- Motion snapshots take random pics, be better if it snapshotted cars when it sees a plate or sees a face- Cant add/change anything on the camera screen itself- No two factor security, if someone gets your login they can just view your cameras- Motion tracking (for me) just seems to track a object then get lost and doesn't return to same position- Due to it running on 2.4ghz there is cheap tools out there criminals can use to disrupt the camera/disable it- Motion detection is hit and miss, for me it only detects stuff right in front of it and i have to have it set to high- Floodlight range isn't far so for my garden i leave it on black/white and set it to turn the lights on when it detects something- Most of my alerts are caused by shadows or leaves but so far rain hasn't set it off, like i say its hit and miss with motion detection- Zoom is only within the app so it just makes the picture blurry= When you click history it takes you to the start of the day rather than current timeMy advice is to install this camera atleast onto the second floor or as high up as possible then either bolt the camera to the bracket or on the inside use something to stop the wire being able to pull through, unless you do this someone could simply climb up and slot the camera off the bracket easily and simply pull the wire causing the two wires connectors to come apart then just like that they've robbed your camera! i got this camera more to protect my cars on the front due to kids throwing stuff at cars on my street and living next to a field there is a lot of kids and teens hanging around.Overall this camera does what it says and works rather well but isn't a hardcore security camera, only safety net it has is being fitted high up needing a ladder to reach, anyone who has this low mounted should buy cloud storage to protect the data but even then someone can still mess with the camera as it simply slots off or they can click reset/take SD card out, currently in the process of getting two small bolts to actually attach the camera to the bracket securely to give it that bit more protection, camera still protects your property but i would say this cctv is more for deterrent/ dealing with kids, if you live in a area with high crime or you want to make sure your property is fully protected i would recommend a wired camera with a recording box, having owned this camera for not even a week its hard to say how good the quality is or how long this will last, i will come back and update if anything else pops up or happens but so far i am impressed for the price and will order another for the back garden soon.Update - after a long night of raining i had white spots on my camera screen apparently from rain drops sitting on the lense, apparently this is normal and happens so not knocking the camera for it but does mean now i'm going to have to buy a rain shield for it.Update - my camera kept getting white spots when it rained, company sent me a replacement within a day so that was nice of them, only issue i am facing now is with it always raining in the UK the rain sets off motion detection no matter what so i have had to change my settings to always be black and white at night or else the floodlights turn on and off 24.7.Update - after being sent a replacement i still get weird marks on my screen sometimes, also any time the wifi turns off or resets you have to setup the camera again...so going up a ladder to take it down and set up then put it back up again...not worth it!update - having been sent a replacement its still the same, any time it rains i get water on the lens and can barely see anything, now having to buy a rain shield to see if that helps which it probably will but not if its windy.Final update - got sent a third replacement by support who are very helpful, this camera has a much longer cable so i am glad they're making upgrades based on customer feedback as now my camera can be mounted much higher up, my rain shield came today so will install the camera tomorrow as well as the rain shield i hope this solves the problem, thank you.

Does what it says on the box, clear pic, easy set up

I have 3 different security cameras around my property and this one is the best by far, I would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy camera to install and with all the extra features like the security light built in when it detects someone and even has a mapping section that allows you the parts of your property that you want it to monitor. Amazing camera

Amazing bit of kit, didnt even know it tracked people automatic, well happy with it

Very very pleased with this purchase I would highly recommend

Easy to install , app all round navigation understandable, crystal clear picture - bright night light attached , fantastic highly recommend

After reading some of the reviews, I was not expecting a versatile or standard piece of equipment. I have been very satisfied with this camera, it works and does what it's supposed to do, I have to say that I have installed it in doors, which does make it easier to get a power supply, but the lens copes with having to focus through a window and the picture quality is still good.You must have a good and powerful Wi fi signalThe CloudEdge software is written and produced by IBM ,you have to set that up, and works well.

The best camera everything is okay
