Wireless iCamera 1000 Outdoor/indoor Night Vision

I purchased multiple cameras and have been very pleased with their quality and performance. I have Comcast Xfinity Home security and use the cameras with the system. These are the same exact cameras that Comcast tries to sell for $129. Adding and pairing the camera(s) to the Xfinity Home system is easy to do. The camera comes with an ethernet cable, an RJ45 POE (power over ethernet) splitter/injector and the AC adapter. On your Xfinity Home touchscreen go to Settings> Home Devices> Cameras> Add Camera... then go to the Xfinity Home router and plug the camera into any open ethernet port and plug in the AC adapter to power up... Go back to the touchscreen and press next to locate the camera on the network... Follow the on-screen instructions to initialize the camera... (Sometimes the camera needs to be reset by holding down the button on the back of the camera for 45-sec)... Follow on-screen instructions until it says to unplug the camera from the router and to place the camera in the desired location.. Plug the camera in using just the AC adapter and wait about 2 minutes for it to connect to the wireless network (The center and left green lights must be solid)... Go back to the touchscreen to finish installation. One brief mention about Comcast. As you probably already know Comcast is a deceitful and difficult company deal with, always be on alert! There are various Xfinity Home packages, Home Control 300 is the middle package and the most commonly subscribed to one. Comcast forces you to add the Enhanced Video element for $6.99/month i order to have more than 1 camera on you system. They allow up to 6 with the added element. For me personally, I think it is worth it.

Pros:- Easy to setup and connect to ADT Pulse- Good video quality (not shockingly amazing, but good)- Easy to mount on the wall- Great view rangeCons:- Not discreet: - Fat cable for power makes it hard to hide without running wires - Lights constantly on make it easily visible at nightHowever, for $50, you can't really go wrong. If you really want to have a more discreet camera you can shell out the extra money that it would take. Also, the firmware update takes about 5 minutes to apply. When you connect to the ADT hub you need to be very patient and let everything install.Here's what I did:1. Write down the MAC from sticker on the back of the camera1. Connect blackcable to camera (the large network cable)2. Connect the white (Y-split) to the black cable3. Plug the Y-split network cable into the ADT hub4. Plug in the power5. Wait for TWO green lights on the front6. Log into ADT and setup the camera (System > Manage Devices > Cameras > iCamera-1000)7. Grab a martini, this might take a while with the update7. Put the camera where you want it!

Wow! Works as perfect as my "original" cox camera and I paid half of the price!. Now, for the installation i got via email the instructions, and no matter they are for a ADT security system, was so similar add my 2 new cameras to my COX home life system: the physical set up is the same that the one pictured in the instructions you will receive and connect it physically to the router. After that go to your cox screen at home, and on settings log in with your main password, go to cameras, add new camera and simply follow the instructions..... after that discontent the y cable from router and conect your camera wherever you need it! For me took no more than 10 mins do all the process for 2 cameras. :). I am happy with the product and definitely would recommend.

This camera never worked. I tried setting it up myself and was not successful. After finally making time to call ADT for assistance & being on the phone for an hour & half with them. Come to find out the camera was inoperable and would not even power on!!! Very disappointing. I don't believe there is anything wrong with this brand, (the ADT customer rep. said he was very familiar with it & it was compatible with my system) I honestly think the seller knowingly sold it to me broken. Amazon made everything right. That's why I continue to shop here.

Cox wanted $160 to install this same camera on my system. When I asked about buying this camera and adding it myself, they told me it wouldn't work. Well it did and I save $100! Easy to install. Works well indoors with both color and low light display.

Easy set up with ADT security system. I will benefit the home owner to download the user manual (just google i 1000 camera). I've seen comments like "wrong Y cable received" which I doubt. You just have to connect the "Y" cable correctly to the I Hub to allow the system to recognize the camera. The image and night vision for the price is well worth the $60. I am not overly impressed with the mount, but you can purchase a different mount separately. Recommend using silicone rtv or silicone caulk on the power connections to avoid future problems.

This camera is reasonably priced and is sufficient for my needs (keeping an eye on the dog remotely) - for the price, it has fairly good resolution and the IR/Night vision works ok in most cases. It was easy to setup and get it connected to ADT Pulse.The mounting mechanism feels flimsy, but has been holding its position. The one annoyance is the need to have it powered via an Ethernet cable - I wish they had provided a way to plug the AC adapter directly into the back of the camera rather than requiring yet another cable. But not a big deal and might actually help those who have PoE adapters (Power Over Ethernet). Overall a good value for money for situations you don't need very sensitive motion detection and for those who don't rely on it for night time use where lights might flash at the viewing area or the camera.
