ieGeek 2K 3MP Security Camera Outdoor, 360° PTZ CCTV Camera Systems, Wired | 2.4G/5GHz Dual-Band WiFi, Color Night Vision, Human Detection, Siren, 2-Way Audio, Work with Alexa, Memory/Cloud

Having already had 1 of the ieGeek 2.4/5GHz PTZ outdoor security cameras at the front of my house it made sense to buy the set of 2, especially considering the good price. In total I have 8 ieGeek cameras dotted in & around my house. Once again I wasn't disappointed with the end result, clear video, easy to use ieGeek App with the option to purchase subscription packages or just record to SD card. The installation process is made easy by the addition of a template that you can attach to the surface where the camera will go. You then simply drill a couple of holes into that surface or simply screw the camera into that surface & then connect the long USB lead to the enclosed USB plug & into a wall socket & you have installed your camera. Before you fix the security camera in place I find that it is easier to connect the camera to your internet router by simply following the instructions on the ieGeek App that is available by scanning the QR code within the documentation. All in all the 2 camera set from ieGeek was a good buy for me because of the ease of the installation (you can actually buy a ieGeek solar panel, instead of plugging the camera into a wall socket) thee ease of use of the App & the video quality is very good. I highly recommend this double camera unit

Camera easy to install and performs very well. The picture quality is much improved from earlier models. Good back up service for any queries

Good product I recently bought this because my older one was done it couldn't use 5ghz band wifi. This is alot easier to connect to my WiFi and the picture is good quality with a wider view than my old one and the audio is brilliant it picks up every noise. The app is easy enough to navigate Overall a good value camera that does its job

This camera is fantastic value for money and I am very impressed with its image quality and functionality. It was relatively simple to set up. There are a couple of issues though that are frustrating. Firstly the camera disconnects itself from the WiFi quite often and I have to restart it or restart the router to get it to reconnect. While it is disconnected it is still recording so you can catch up with any detected movement but you obviously can’t look at a live feed. This leads me to the most frustrating thing. When you receive an alert on your phone and select it to view the app takes you to the history not the live view. This means you can’t speak to the person the camera has detected or trigger an alarm if you are suspicious. There is also a delay of several seconds before an encrypted connection is established so anybody detected will probably have left before you can see them. I was expecting to go to the live view when I received an alert, like I get with my doorbell camera. This means that you only get alerts after movement has been detected and recorded. which to me defeats the whole point of the camera. I think I will return it as it doesn’t do what I expected it to do.

I bought one of these to keep an eye on cows I had in a shed. The camera was that good I ended up buying another one for my parents house. This camera has everything; the camera picture is brilliant, the motion detector is very good and having the extra ability to speak on the app to anyone who is at your house is really good. The way you can turn the camera to see around my property at different angles, the night light mode. Not only does it have a sim card for recording, but if you dont have a sim in it still takes pictures of anything that triggers the motion detector and stores it in the app for 2 weeks. I have professional cameras installed that cost me a fortune but are planning to buy more of these to fit around my parents house. I also have recommended these cameras to so many people as they are really good quality at a good price Easy to install the app with no subscription fees, the camera easy to set up with the app.

PROS:- +Image quality and video playback are much superior to other similar CCTV cameras. Compared to Blink 4 Outdoors, for instance, this camera is significantly better! +This is a huge amount of camera for the money involved! It's feature rich and very capable! +Motion tracking and PTZ work very well considering the price point of this camera! +Very easy installation. Coming from other, more expensive CCTV systems, like Blink, this was incredibly easy and pain-free! +Alerts can be configured and silenced if needed. +Bright LED Lights and good quality night vision capabilities. +All saved videos are encrypted on to the microSD card (upto 128GB) **Not included. +Access to camera can be shared with other users (registration required through ieGeek). +Can take snapshots and recordings manually. CONS:- - There is ZERO mention in the description that the advertised AI capabilities (only notifying you on human activity) are charged ADDITIONALLY on a monthly basis. - Locating saved footage can be somewhat cumbersome and fiddly. - The camera antennas are not very powerful. I'm getting 3 out of 5 connection quality bars through a solid wall approximately 3.5mtrs away from my router. However, the camera doesn't seem to struggle because of this. - Due to video encryption the replayed fisher may lag slightly at times. - Aimee features within the app can be confusing to locate, activate and deactivate. For instance, if you don't require the LED light to activate when motion is detected, you need to select 'black & white night vision'. A simple toggle would have been much better. -The 3mtre power cable is fixed to the camera and is USB A. You may want to get a USB A Male to Female extender for longer distances to your nearest plug socket. A USB A power adaptor is included, however! Tested using Android16 mobile phones and 1Gbps Fibre Internet. Overall; HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. There are some niggles as detailed above but for this pricepoint, it exceeded my expectations, massively. I'm happy to replace my Blink and other expensive cameras with these.

Initially easy to set up using the Ethernet cable and 'phone app, however setting the motion detection zones on the 'phone app seem to have no effect on restricting the alarms from unwanted areas. Even having the sensitivity down at 2% results in multiple triggers from supposedly screened-off areas. The supplied manual is VERY basic and not helpful as to understanding the terminology however it does get you started. As usual with oriental documentation, the English translation leaves much to be desired. The real downside is the HiP2P software for use with a PC. The help files attached with this are very cryptic and explain things even less than the supplied booklet. Fortunately the manufacturer does respond quickly to emails with the offer to trouble-shoot the "problems" on your PC remotely. They did send me some links to videos "showing" how to set things up which if run in slow motion do give some guidance - but why don't they post links to them publicly? Setting motion detection zones on the HiP2P software seems more effective than the 'phone app although movement well outside the chosen areas still causes unwanted triggers. The lack of "Humanoid" detection is a big let-down; if it rains overnight you'll wake to find a series of alarm triggers for the whole duration of rainfall i.e. 15 second videos at up to 4 per minute times 60 per hour over a 6 hour shower could result in 1400+ separate videos! Try searching for something in that! All things considered, the camera's not too bad but is let down by abysmal software and virtually useless help files. Update 28 March 2022 After several emails to IEGeek regarding issues using the PC app & and its awful "help" files and problems with motion detection ureliability, it seems that my camera is defective. IEGeek have been excellent in trying to help and have now sent me a replacement camera to try. Changed my review to 4 stars; if the software was improved - especially the instructions, it'd be 5. Nevertheless, it represents pretty good value for money. EDIT Oct 2022..... I've recently had cause to view recorded alarms because a neighbour's car was broken into around 02:30 a.m. This happened on a foggy night and within a 3 hour time-frame but as I predicted in my earlier review, there were continuous alarms due to the fog retriggering the camera and it was impossible to search through more than 700 sequences to see if we'd recorded anything of use to the police. I now consider this device to be of little use as a practical security measure. It may provide a visual deterrent but as for providing usable footage when it's really needed it's a waste of money - especially when taking into account the absolutely rubbish software it uses. Perhaps if there was a software upgrade available to give it "humanoid detection" capabilities it would merit more stars but based on this recent experience I've downgraded it to 1 star because of it being an expensive visual deterrent.

I already own an IE20 camera and was very satisfied with it’s performance which is what prompted be to purchase another ieGeek camera. As I was buying another ieGeek camera I erroneously expected to be able to use the same app but I have since found that this is not the case (my fault for not checking). The IE20 which uses the CamHiPro App whereas the ZS-GQ4 camera uses ‘ieGeek Cam’ which, according to ieGeek support the cameras/apps are not cross compatible. In my opinion the CamHiPro App gives you much more control over the camera. Rather disappointing that I have to have two different apps for cameras from the same supplier and have while I have a better camera I have less control. I would like to add that my issues have been addressed with ieGeek and would like to express my thanks for their prompt and friendly attitude. Exemplary customer support!

👍👍

Cameras reset itself everyday so I have to re connect them again everyday , not recommended at all

After two months, the camera no longer records to the SD card. Other than that, everything is fine. Good image quality even at night and very good motion sensitivity.
