Ctronics【5MP 30X Zoom】 PTZ Security Camera Outdoor, Wifi CCTV Camera Surveillance IP Camera Home Security with Light & Audio Alarm Night Vision 150m 355°Pan 90°Tilt Auto Tracking Human Detection

I have owned this camera for over a year. This camera features superb night vision, very high resolution (4K), and excellent manual or autofocus 20X optical zoom and a whole host of other features. With this camera I can read license plate numbers from over a city block away even at night. To read license plates at night, you will to adjust the exposure to minimum, but it works great and is very readable . If you do it, be sure to adjust the exposure back to “normal” after reading the plate as that exposure level is not suitable for normal night vision. The built in microphone is also sensitive and it even has a speaker built into to allow you to talk from within your PC or cellphone.In my situation, I set up my camera as a WiFi IP camera, though it can be set up as a wired camera through an Ethernet link cable. However, merely powering up my installed camera and connecting it to my wireless router proved futile in my situation due to the distance involved between it and my WiFi router in my living room. I could only wirelessly connect directly to my camera from my cell phone by using the CTronics Android app. You have to search for the camera using the broadcasted WiFi signal from within your cellphone's WiFi connection function. Once you do that, the CTronics app works great. This camera also works with a number other free apps available in the Google Ptaystore or Apple.Now here are the steps anyone needs to perform to connect CTronis camera to your wireless router if you are in the same situation I was in where the camera's signal WiFi signal was too weak due to distance and other factors.1. Purchase a Linksys or equivalent WiFi extender and make sure it has 2.4 GHz wireless capability. These cost about 50 bucks on Amazon.2. Plug the WiFi extender into an AC outlet near your camera inside the house, but not too close. In my two story house, the 2nd floor landing atop the stairs proved adequate.3. Configure the WiFi extender for 2.4 GHz wireless functionality.4. Using the direct WiFi connection from your cellphone to the camera by searching for the camera from with within your phone’s WiFi menu. In this mode, the camera itself operates as its own sort of WiFi router. Then open the Ctronics app and connect to the camera. Then from within the Ctronics app menu, read the IP address of the camera, and then write it down. It will be 192.168.1.XX . I don’t know if all CTronics wireless cameras use the same default IP address.5. Open a Google or Mozilla browser on your cellphone and type http://192.168.1.XX for a web address. Your browser will bring you to a blue menu where you are prompted for "ADMIN" and "PASSWORD. The default is "admin" and "admin" respectively, or what ever you set from the CTronics Android app.6. Once in the CTronics camera settings. Click on the "Settings" tab on the upper left.7. Click on the "Network" function.8. Click on the "Wireless" function from with the "Network" menu.9. Click search.10. Select the WiFi router host you just set up with your WiFi extender's 2.4 GHz signal. In most cases it will be the same as your current WiFi router but with an "_EXT" at the end of it.11. Once that is accomplished, connect your cellphone WiFi to that same 2.4 GHz signal of your WiFi extender. Please note that the WiFi extender will change the IP address of your camera when it re-broadcasts your camera signal.12. Now open the Ctronics app on your cellphone and search for the search for that camera. It will find the camera and you will now be able to operate and configure it from that app using the direct connection routed through your WiFi router extender device.13. From within the Android Ctronics app, look up the new IP address that your WiFi extender reassigned for that camera and write it down.Now that you have that new IP address, you can now operate that camera from any PC, Android, or Apple device from your home WiFi address using any internet browser or Blue Iris software that I highly recommend. I also recommend that you go back into the camera settings and change the camera's time zone to your particular time zone because the default one is set to China. I highly recommend Blue Iris primarily because it allows you to use digital zoom that combines very well with it’s optical zoom.

Ich habe seit ca. 3 -4 Jahren 5 Centronics Kameras im Einsatz.Die Kameras haben eine sehr gute Auflösung bzw. Bildqualität - damit bin ich sehr zufrieden.Der Zoom und die Nachtsicht sind ebenfalls hervorragend.Auch mit der Software hat sich einiges getan, ich finde die App Centronics Pro sehr gut, ich komme problemlos mit dieser klar. Diese ist selbsterklärend.Vor ca. 3 Wochen zeigte mir eine meiner 5 Centronics Kameras einen Fehler. Die Nachtsicht hat nicht mehr funktioniert. Danach hatte ich einen sehr kompetenten und freundlich Ansprechpartner von C-Tronics (Frau Sophie Qin) . Die Kommunikation mit Frau Qin konnte ich in sehr gutem Deutsch oder auch in sehr gutem Englisch führen ! VorbildlichNach einem kurzen Test (Remote) teilte mir Frau Qin mit das ich die defekte Kamera ausgetauscht bekomme, kostenlos.Ein paar Tage später erhielt die eine Nagelneue Kamera, obwohl die defekte Kamera schon 4 Jahre alt war.Ich möchte mich an dieser Stelle ganz besonders bei Frau Sophie Qin und C-tronics sehr herzlich bedanken für diesen outstanding support. Meine nächste Kamera wird wieder eine C-tronics Kamera sein.Viele Grüßekmu

Jag har haft denna kamera i ca 1,5 år och mycket nöjd med både funktioner och kvalitet. Jämfört med tidigare inköpta billigare varianter är denna kamera väl värd pengarna. Jag kan inte hitta något jag är missnöjd med. Bildkvalitet och den optiska zoomen överträffar förväntningarna. Snabb leverans och välpackad i stötdämpande låda. Lägg därtill en fantastiskt snabb och kunnig supportpersonal (stort tack Eric), så förstår ni varför jag ger 5 stjärnor.

Robusta struttura in metallo, provata resistenza alla pioggia anche di traverso con vento forte nonostante non abbia il duomo di protezione. Immagini nitide anche ad elevati livelli di zoom e con infrarossi. Si connette ad internet con ethernet o wifi. Comandabile da pc o telefono con buona reattività, comunque dipendente dalla qualità della rete.Si potrebbe migliorare l'interfaccia grossolana dell'app.Il riconoscimento umanoide funziona sempre anche se alcuni oggetti potrebbero dare falsi allarmi. è possibile configurare diversi tipi di allarmi temporizzati.L'audio è sensibile ma l'altoparlante rende poco distinguibile la voce, nonostante il volume elevato.Il manuale d'istruzioni non è molto chiaro ma il supporto di Celia in italiano è stato immediato ed esaustivo.

Despues de haber probado la cámara durante unos dias solo puedo decir que responde totalmente a mis expectativas.Buscaba una cámara de zoom potente y resolución 4K y desde luego la he encontrado sin ninguna duda. La calidad de la imágen es extraordinaria, el zoom x30 es increible, la visión nocturna es excelente y muy potente y el software HiP2P para PC es bastante bueno, cosa que falla en la mayoría de las cámaras ip.El único pero que le pondría es el sonido que se oye con mucho ruido parasitario, aunque no descarto que en el futuro lo pueda mejorar.Compra totlmente recomendable. Un saludo a todos.
