Security Camera Outdoor, 1080P HD Wireless Rechargeable Battery Powered WiFi Home Surveillance Camera with Waterproof, Color Night Vision, AI Motion Detection, 2-Way Audio and SD/Cloud Storage

JULY 2022 UPDATE:Cameras still work great even a year and a half later. They’ve survived plenty of Florida storms, which was a worry that I initially had. I have not noticed a decrease in battery life since purchasing them, they still last over a month without being charged.——-I'm quite pleased with this device so far. I've bought 2, one for the front yard and one for the back.Installation: Easy and took my husband less than 5 minutes per camera to install outside. Finding a good spot that has strong wifi was kind of challenging, and even in spots that have good Wifi (as far as we can tell) show up as weak in their app, so follow the instructions and let the camera test the site before installing. Don't just assume (like we did) that a spot will work because your phones/TV/whatever work in that spot. Syncing the cameras to the app was also very easy and took me about 1 minute per camera.App & Camera quality: App is fine, we have iPhones but it works on Androids, too. Like I said, the syncing process is quick and easy. The app does sign you out after a few minutes of not using it, which can be a bit annoying. This is especially so if you get an alert that there is motion detected or if you hear a noise and want to quickly check the cameras. Having to sign in and wait for it to load takes several seconds, which normally would be no issue but when it comes to security cameras you really don't wan to waste the time.Picture is great and really clear, even at night. The night vision works fine, everyting is still visible. You can zoom in but you can't pan around. You can hear everything as well, though obviously if they're farther away from the camera the voices are a bit muffled. You can, technically, speak through the app and have your voice come out of the camera, but in reality you have to talk quite loud for them to hear you. You can also sound an alarm from the app, and it's quite loud (our neighbors were able to hear our tests). It sometimes takes 3-4 presses for the alarm to actually work, though this might be network lag.My husband can check the cameras from work, and he is able to have the same functionality as I do from home, which is good. He works overnights, so it's nice that he can check in on the house while we're all asleep.The motion detection works well, perhaps a little too well. We had a flag in front of our house that we had to take down because whenever the wind blew it, it'd send off the alarm. It does not, however, pick up the movement of our cats. Perhaps the motion detection only works from a certain height.All in all, this was a great value for the price. I'm quite happy so far, but I really do recommend these cameras to anyone who is looking for an affordable wireless camera.

I was looking for quite some time for a camera of some sort to put on our porch mainly to check on when I receive packages and I ended up picking this one for a few main reasons.1. Rechargable battery. I have no easily accessible plug near my porch, so i wanted something that I would not need to plug in. Secondly, I didn't want to have to deal with constantly buying and replacing the batteries.2. Wifi capability and NO need to purchase any sort of data plan. A lot of the cameras i saw required you to purchase a data plan to be able to view the videos it recorded but not this one.3. Features for the price. This camera had all of the features I wanted such as motion detection, but it also has two way calling which I didn't actually need but is nice to have, especially at this price.As I'm writing this review, I've had the camera installed for about 2 months now and let me say I am pleasantly surprised at how long the battery has lasted. After reading some of the reviews I was worried that I would have to be constantly recharging the battery but the battery lasts a long time! Even after two months the battery is still showing as having 4 out of 5 bars, and I will often check the camera if I get a motion notification.Installation was quick and easy. You download the app and connect it to your wifi and from the app you can view the camera live whenever you want. In theory if you're tech savvy you could set it up in under 5 minutes. I'm not as good with tech so it took me about 10-15 minutes to get it all set up but it wasn't difficult. You can also set the app so that you get a phone notification every time the camera detects motion. The video quality is not crystal clear, but really good for the price, and the voice calling actually works pretty well too. I think part of it also depends on your internet connection. On the app you can see how strong the wifi connection is to the camera and mine is a little weak so I think that impedes the image quality.If you want to save videos you do need to purchase a separate Microsd card. At first I didn't buy the card because I wasn't sure how good the camera was going to be, but I bought a card later and was planning to install it the next time I had to recharge the batteries but even after two months the battery is still going strong.Also, the motion detection works well, I have mine facing my front door from an eave, so I don't get random notifications when people walk in front of the house and such.

I do not know a lot about security cameras. This unit was specifically recommended by a friend for being fairly inexpensive yet simple to use and easy to maintain. It took me a while to work up the gumption to try to install it. Won’t lie. Once I did, I was pleased with how easy it was to get it going.Negative and why loss of star- I had to keep within about 15 feet or so from the window where my Wi-Fi sits or I did not have good reception. So many, many points of my house I could not attempt to install it at all. I brought it back inside to charge but have not installed it as I’m unsure where in that limited range would do me the best good. I wanted to view people coming to the front door so I would know who was here. This placement was just outside of signal range. I do not want to buy a Wi-Fi signal booster nor do I want to move the Wi-Fi system so these decisions have ultimately made me change my plan overall as to what I want to do with outside security cameras.After researching more, I bought another type of floodlight security cameras to replace my existing floodlights as it appears I only need the Wi-Fi to set them up and then it does not use Wi-Fi to work. They have not arrived but once those are in place, I will install this camera unit to capture what I am not getting from the new flood light security cameras. Or I’ll install it at my mom or dads home, if they want me too. They will appreciate this cameras simplicity.I was not keen on this idea of replacing my perfectly fine, but non security camera flood lights, as I’m a women with very little electrical experience and I did not want to have to get this elaborate. <<I plan to replace the four existing flood lights now, two of which are second floor height, so yeah, I’ll need a big ladder (go brave me!)>> However, once I saw the images on my phone from this little security camera guy, I thought it was pretty cool and I could see value in having a more extensive coverage of the outside for watching out for the kiddos when they are outside and I’m inside cooking and for general security of the home. It was clear that this little guy needs constant good Wi-Fi single which isn’t realistic for placement around outside of my home, so I would need something different than what this camera can do, hence the floodlight security camera seemed the best option as the wiring is already setup beneath existing units so no fooling with how to power the camera. I will have to pay a monthly service fee for the floodlight security cameras though.Kinda of a poor attempt to review without much use of camera yet, so I plan to update it after I’ve used it for a while.What I liked out of the box, was it is simple to use, image appeared good when checking options to install it (by signal strength) and holding my phone at same time to see what I was getting. I liked I could view images on my phone, there were not any wires to mess with and it held onto images later on when looking at app (from my attempt to figure out where I wanted to put it), it appears easy to remove from install area to bring inside to charge up, and I liked that there was not a need to pay for a monthly service to use it. I think the value was high for what you get and for the simplicity I was after was true to its word. Got to give it props for that. I’ll try to review more after I truly install it.

My criteria for security cameras is as follows:1) Good quality picture2) Triggers at good distances3) Records videos locally (no monthly fee and privacy)4) Low number of false triggers5) A good phone app to control the cameras and view the videos.6) A reasonable priceThe Zeeporte camera checks all of the above boxes.I'll start here by saying that I've tried Eufy 2C, Vava, and Blink X2C systems. They are all more expensive (and sometimes much more expensive) than the Zeeporte. But the Zeeporte is a superior system to all that I've tried so far.The battery life of this camera is decent. I've used it heavily over the past 6+ days with many tests. I've recorded 209 motions and it is at 89%. Since I've used it heavily, I'll estimate 10% per week which means that it'll last 10 weeks (2.5 months) on a charge. In regards to size of the memory card that you'll need, I've used .22GB of the 120 GB card that I bought. At the current rate, it will record for 1.5 years before getting full - and then I'll just reset it. It is easy to transfer clips to your phone storage (online for my iphone).When I did my testing, I set it to the motion detection sensitivity to the highest value (95). What really impresses me with this camera is the low number of false triggers.. Really, I get none. It records people and cars and that is it. And it does not seem to miss any events. The angle of the camera did affect the distance of the triggering so try different angles.The only area of improvement that I can see is the mount. It is fine, but as I noted in my headline, I've tried several brands now including Eufy, Vava, and Blink. All of these brands had superior mounts, but the one that Zeeporte mount is fine. I had to make sure I tightened it well. One note - the other manufacturers that I listed require base stations and do not record on the camera itself. The Zeeporte does. This means if someone steals your camera, then they will get your videos. So, just don't put your camera within reach. A camera should not be mounted low and the instructions tell you to not do so. This is probably another reason that Zeeporte does not have a magnetic mount.. which would make it easy to steal. The mount that it has requires you to screw it off.Oh.. I just remembered another great feature of the Zeeporte. After your day is finished, you can view the events for the day (and all prior days) in a mode that shows you a timeline and lets you quickly sweep to each event based on the time and watch it. This is really nice to have!Overall, I do recommend it 100%

UPDATE #2Wish I could give a negative number of stars. Below you'll see the problem I had with 1 of the 2 cameras I bought and the trouble I had with the company, so I won't repeat. The second camera worked well until last week. It will no longer connect to WIFI. In case you're wondering if user error or my wifi, I tried connecting it to different wireless locations AND made sure other items were connecting. So in less than 1 year, it failed. It was also kept on a covered porch where it never even got wet. Just don't buy these crappy things.DISAPPOINTING UPDATE (see original review below)I've now had the cameras for a several weeks and unfortunately beyond the return window. One of the cameras will not recharge. I plugged in the cord, and nothing. I tried another cord. I tried another adapter. I tried different combinations. Nothing. I brought in the other camera and plugged it in. It recharged like a champ in a few hours!!! So I knew I had a good adapter/cord combination. I plugged back in the problematic camera. With considerable jiggling, I got the charge light to turn on, but 9 hours later, the camera had gone from 3% to 9%. :( I emailed support with the information I just shared with you and received a pretty prompt response from the Chinese company. Fast forward to half a dozen more emails with the company asking me multiple times to try a different cable and to send videos (which I've done) clearly indicating that they are not reading my emails. So I have 1 working camera and a small brick. Sad, because I was going to buy a 3rd camera to watch over our pool. Now I'll be looking for 3 cameras from an entirely different vendor.Also, as an update, I need to underscore what I put in my original post below. The wifi reception, well, it really does suck.If the vendor comes thru and offers to replace or refund the camera, I would update the review. But right now, I must unfortunately advise, strong, to avoid these cameras. A 50% failure rate and bad customer support is not acceptable.*****Original Review Below*****I purchased 2 of these to monitor our front and back doors. In less than 30 minutes, I was ready to send them back. But I'm an IT guy, so I decided to see if I could figure out the issues. Now I'm keeping them. Here's what I found.On the positive side, the cameras are small, wireless, and the image quality is excellent. Sound quality is solid. The battery life is better than I expected.On the negative side, the directions are pathetic. The Chinese translator could have done a better job. While the setup instructions are passable, there are no instructions/guidance for tweaking the performance of the cameras. This is why I was ready to return them. The out-of-the-box setting repeatedly failed at detecting motion. With some tweaking using the app, I've sufficiently improved the motion detection. It's still not perfect, however, and if you want 100% detection, this camera may frustrate you. Most days it will detect a delivery guy, and then randomly it will miss one.Also on the frustrating side is the WIFI connection. I have a router 6' from the front door camera. One day it has 48% signal strength, the next day it's at 98%. If the signal drops below 50%, you get an annoying message that signal strength is low. Sometimes when I try to connect to a camera, the connection will initially fail, and I have to retry. Retry has always worked, however. I don't know how much of this is the camera's fault and how much is my WIFI, but I'm pretty sure it's the camera, because I don't have issues with my phone's connectivity.Please note that you must get the SD card if you want to record video from the camera. The cards are easy to install. Also, to charge the camera you'll need your own phone "block" to plug the charging cable into. The app is passable. It could be improved by better guidance on how to tweak the settings. But these tweaks can greatly improve your experience. I would also really like to be able to connect to the cameras with a web browser. This would be a great improvement.So, not perfect, but passable for my basic security monitoring needs.
