GENBOLT PTZ WiFi Security Camera Outdoor, 20X hybrid Zoom Wireless Home Surveillance IP Camera with PoE, Pan Tilt Auto Focus CCTV Cameras, Humanoid Tracking Alarm Loop Recording with Audio [2.4/5Ghz]

A great camera for observation. Fairly easy set up but do read the instructions first. Picture quality is superb and I just love that it will follow movement, record and notify you so you can choose the importance of what’s going on. Night vision switches from colour to black and white at times but none the less the night quality is very clear. I feel it was great value for the money paid. Easy to put up and I must say that it picks up the WiFi signal very well with no issues. GENBOLT are also on hand to help with any questions. It takes a few attempts to set up how you want it but stick with it. It’s worth it in the end.

Great product for the money and very clear image both day and night. Easy to link to wifi and install.

The camera is sturdy and built well, I had no problem connecting it to my NVR and the setup was pretty straight forward, the only thing that stopped me from a 5 star review was that the zoom was not as sharp or as high as claimed and when it goes on to digital zoom the picture was rather pixelated. That said, it is a still a good camera and handled monitoring and alarm very well.

This review is for the GENBOLT 9X PTZ purchased from GENBOLT direct.I bought this camera for the purpose of capturing trivial matters that occur in my neighbourhood although it would also help with capturing incompetent drivers who cannot negotiate the kerb and my lawn should damage occur. I wasn't keen on spending too much and this being the upper limit of my budget I decided to take a gamble based on the brag of a 'Sony cmos sensor' also. This review is based on the very short time of just over a week and I will add further input when time allows. It is written from a personal perspective and use.Initial impressions when first unboxing the camera - very well presented and constructed. I followed the instructions included. The camera was up and running with ease. You first connect to your modem via network cable supplied. Download the app from google play to your phone or via QR code. Open the app and add camera. After you have connected to the camera you can then input your WiFi code from the settings and you will then be connected wirelessly. This was all done quite easily with the supplied instructions.Pan and tilt function is adequate and smooth although latency effects required position. It would be nice to have the facility of preset positions although I have yet to see whether this facility does exist as the mobile app is minimal but adequate.The video files are saved in a .254 or .255 format. A 17mb file size will cover 10 minutes of footage which I think is amazing considering the quality. The camera will capture a number plate of a parked car from approximately 30mtrs during the day (without the use of the zoom facility). I have not done much testing with night vision or moving vehicles but will update. If you need to access video footage should an incident be caught on camera you have to go to the file storage, select the file then download. The file will then be converted to mp4 - a commonly used formatand played by most operating systems and apps. As a 10 minute file is less than the email limit of most free email service providers (20mb usually) this function is extremely user friendly with no need to edit videos. The aforementioned was all done with ease using my android phone (app was downloaded by scanning the QR code on the side of the box via Google play store). You also have the facility to use your pc web browser to access the camera by simply inserting the ip address of the camera into the web address bar. You will be asked for the admin username and password to access this facility so be sure to familiarise yourself with such or you can change it using the camera app on your phone.The tailing lead consists of a rj45 connector, reset button, power input and a audio output phono connector. A little speaker is also supplied which connects to this audio output. I haven't tried to insert it directly into a line level of an audio amplifier but I would verify the voltage before doing so. I'm presuming this sends an audible motion sensed warning should it be selected on the app.The microphone on the camera seems substantial and the pick up is certainly functional, a thorough test is called for and I will update accordingly.Thankfully this camera is not associated with cloud storage services that hold you to ransom by constantly bothering you to purchase this service and preventing access to your recorded footage.Initial impressions are very good, i am pleased with this camera and i certainly think it commensurate with price.

First impressions were "a smart piece of kit". The high quality was immediately obvious. The manual is comprehensive, but I did not find it easy to follow to set up my cameraThe GENBOLT support is A1, Nina was a great help, her emailed instructions were clear, concise and easy to follow. I was soon up and running.The quality of video and wide field of view is great as is the ability to remotely move the camera and zoom in.A drawback is needing to reset the time after disconnecting the power, even though settings give you the option of matching the viewing device time .But highly recommended .

Big no SD car slots setup complete

Great Build Quality but they need to add a new 8K sensor to improve the image quality and fix the software

Great camera, very easy to set up with the phone app. Very prompt answers to a couple of questions on set up from Genbolt.Very clear videos and pictures and so far no dropouts in Wi-Fi, alerts come through within a reasonable time, "dependant on your phone network provider"The Night vision pictures show perfectly well when set on Normal.I installed this camera to better protect the property and I will be buying another one or two Genbolt camera's to cover other area'sUpdate, 4/01/2024I had a problem with the camera not tracking, one email to Genbolt and within a day they had the camera set up and working properly, Such excellent response and service from them.26/01/24 new camera set up and working with no problems, customer service at its best.
