Ctronics 4K 8MP Security Camera Outdoor, 2.4/5Ghz WiFi Surveillance IP Camera Outdoor with Smart Human/Vehicle Detection, Auto Tracking, 65ft Color Night Vision, Two Way Audio,Plug in,IP66

I have an older Ctronics 2k camera and it's given me ZERO problems for 3 years. Got this new one, 4k 8MP. Picture quality is superb. These cameras are extremely simple to setup either with their own app, or even other IPCamera apps. Connected no problem. I use the "IPCamera" program on my PC to view 3 ip cameras, and this one looks GREAT! Sound quality is good, motion detection works fine. Put a 64GB SD card in it, records 24/7. Night vision is superb. I use it with a 4k monitor and when I zoom into stuff, the result is CRISP and CLEAR.

I have several outdoor cameras, and this is my favorite. The picture quality is outstanding, and the field of view is great. I noticed that this camera has some bad reviews. After reading them I think they all are experiencing bad Wi-Fi signals. The most important factor in using Wi-Fi cameras is to get a strong signal. If it is weak and slow it results in the problems reported. It has nothing to do with the camera. This camera also supports 5Ghz, which can even boost performance more but doesn't reach as far. There are several free apps for your cellphone that will measure the Wi-Fi signal at various locations.

I originally set this camera up to monitor 3D Printing jobs, but after seeing all the features and the quality of the picture, I soon moved it outside to be our primary front yard camera. The intelligent tracking and person detection work very well. Setup was fairly easy once I figured out the best method that would work for me. The app is well setup and the notifications relevant. I do wish the notifications took you directly to the video clip in the app they are referring too or a live view depending on how long ago the notification came in. I found trying to figure out how to find the video clips a little awkward, but easy enough once I figured it out. Today is our first rain day, so we'll see how it handles the weather. I did get a smaller version of this camera to put in my 3d printer box which is working perfectly for what I need it for. I can easily see picking up a few more of these for other parts of the yard and home. I also appreciate customer service specifically Elnum for working with me on this purchase.

This gear is amazing -- especially at its price point. Two of my cameras are now about 5 years old, still working great. Just bought another one. Tons of great featrures that -- so far -- all work well. What's truly surprising is the level of support they provide. In addition to the easy-to-use App, they also integrate with a sophisticated and feature-rich Desktop monitoring solution. It's pretty complicated, and not very intuitive -- at least to me! However, I sent a Support request, and was blown away to right away get a response from what is obviously a real person, with a targeted response -- not either a bot-generated reply, or a person sending canned responses that really don't apply or answer my question. We've gone back and forth multiple time, and the same person answers -- promptly, and with good information. I couldn't be happier!

The camera does a pretty good job when used as a static view camera. Picture is clear and the notifications a effective. However, this is a PTZ camera and should be used in the tracking mode. When in the tracking mode, the camera does not always come back to the original preset position. So you may be monitoring some area not intended and miss areas if interest. At the same time, the Detection Zones which is suppose to limit notification to only the motion in the zone does not work with Auto Tracking (called Intelligent Tracking). The camera monitors motion in the entire viewing area. As such, I get a Lot of notification for activity which are outside my zone. So I am getting notified whenever activity occurs vs just when it is close to my home. Since the camera does not always go back to the preset position after following, I never know what is being monitored. Customer Servies is Very poor. They do not answer the phone and rarely respond to voicemail. When they do respond and pass the call to technical support in China, the support level drops even further. It took multiple emails with the China group to explain the issue. Even then, they still did not get it. The response was 1 email per day and not more frequent as needed. In the 1 email, the China team would typically ask clarifying questions or say they made a change yet no difference in performance. They can't test it from there so they have no idea if what they are doing changes anything. And all they are doing is changing the couple of settings that I do from the app. They guarenteed on the phone that the function does work. So, I returned the camera as defective. I got the new one did not work either. So returned that camera as well.

Had this camera for 3.5 years and it stopped reporting to app. Still seems to track on motion and randomly moves to look at the clouds, but no way to watch video.

1st class camera with 1st class customer service. This camera has excellent functionality & performance. The convenience of viewing 24/7 from mobile device or PC is huge. Service after the sale is paramount...Lily from customer service is exceptional! Truly cares about the customer!!! Thank you Lily!!

These cameras work great and the picture is really clear. I have older ones and these upgrades are exactly what I needed. I’m very with them and I’m buying more for my other property.

Top qualité, j’en suis trop content

Bonne qualité d'image, installation facile pour un novice comme moi fonctionne très bien, je recommande ce produit.

Super Kameras von Material und Ausstattung! Hervorragender, einmaliger Support! Normalerweise halte ich mich bei „Bewertungen“ zurück. Hier allerdings möchte hier ich meine Erfahrungen mitteilen, da das hier m.E. besonders war: Bereits schon im Januar kaufte ich über Amazon 2 Kameras von Ctronic, nachdem ich wochenlang Werbung, Rezessionen, Tests usw. gelesen hatte. Mir war wichtig, dass die Kameras kein „billiges Glump“ sind, und evtl. auch einem „Angriff“ aushalten. Zudem wollte ich, dass die Bilder/Filme nicht nur auf der SD-Karte abgespeichert werden, sondern auch z.B. auf meinem FTP-Speicher des Routers. Die Kameras 530D u. 590D wurden sehr schnell in einer hochwertigen Verpackung geliefert. Auch die Kameras selbst machen einen hochwertigen, stabilen Eindruck! Dann verging die Zeit und ich kam nicht dazu, die Kameras anzuschließen, da ich die Stromkabel unter Dach verlegen musste…. Ein erster „Test“ mit „schneller Verbindung“ erfolgte zwar, aber die Kameras wurden nicht vollends geprüft. Als dann der finale Anschluss im Oktober, mit leichten Schwierigkeiten beim Eintrag des richtigen WLAN-Schlüssels erfolgte, war ich frustriert: Die 590D bewegte sich nur horizontal und leider nicht vertikal. Die 530D funktionierte einwandfrei – trennte sich allerding in unregelmäßigen Abständen von der Verbindung und war dann offline/außer Funktion. SCHOCK! Da über Amazon nach dieser Zeit keine Möglichkeiten mehr bestehen, wandte ich mich mit einer Email (in Deutsch und engl. Google-Übersetzung) an den Support von Ctronic. Meine Erwartungen an diesem Sonntagabend waren sehr gering und ich dachte, dass sich wenn überhaupt - vielleicht erst irgendwann in der folgenden Woche jemand melden würde. Bei weitem gefehlt! Montagfrüh um 05.00 Uhr war bereits eine überaus freundliche, ansprechende und kompetente Antwort von Herrn Eric Xiao, Ctronic Support vorhanden! Nach Mitteilung der UID Anschlusskennung der Kameras wurden diese vom Support „aus der Ferne“ von einem Techniker geprüft, bzw. richtig von Herrn Xiao eingestellt. Die 530D läuft seither tipp-topp ohne Aussetzer mit hervorragenden Aufzeichnungen! Bei der 590D lag ein Defekt vor. Der Support schickte sofort eine neue Kamera los, die bereits schon nach 5 Tagen ankam! Diese funktioniert jetzt ohne Probleme. Die defekte Kamera muss ich nicht zurücksenden – wobei diese grundsätzlich funktioniert, kann halt nur nicht schwenken. Die Aufzeichnungen der beiden Kameras sind topp! Genauso hatte ich es mir vorgestellt. Sie werden auf der SD-Karte und in meinem Netzwerk gespeichert. Die Dateien sind auch nicht so groß. Dadurch, dass die Empfindlichkeit eingestellt werden kann insbesondere ein sog. „Verknüpfungsalarm“ erfolgt nur eine „Alarmierung“ /Nachricht, wenn eine Bewegung und eine „humanoides“ (menschliches) Objekt „erkannt“ wird. Das ist genial da dadurch keine/kaum Fehlalarme vorkommen! Schwierigkeiten waren zunächst die “Einstellungen“. Da die Anleitungen der Ctronic-Anwendung auf dem Handy, bzw. der HiP2P Anwendung für den PC nicht so perfekt sind. Hier spielt wohl auch die Übersetzung eine Rolle. Allerdings nun, durch die Hinweise von Herrn Xiao und durch das Probieren mit der Zeit ist das alles kein Problem mehr! Zudem sind durch die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten, die die Kameras in den Einstellungen usw. auch einiges möglich. Zunächst waren die auf dem FTP-server gesicherten „.265-Dateien“ nicht lesbar. Auch durch denn von mir verwendeten VLC-Mediaplayer nicht. Herr Xiao teilte mir jedoch hierzu mit, das ein entsprechender Player und Converter auf der Homepage von Ctronic downzuloaden ist. Zwischenzeitlich hatte ich mir jedoch ein Codec-Update heruntergeladen, sodass mit der MS Mediaplayer die .265-Dateien ohne Konvertierung wiedergibt. Ich kann hier die von mir gekauften Kameras mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen – wenn diese zunächst auch nicht gleich perfekt liefen. Vielleicht lag es aber auch an mir, z.B. durch das Einlegen der SD-Karte, etc. Das Beste war aber der Support! Hier Herr Eric Xiao! Ich hoffe, dass Ctronic bewusst ist, dass sie hier einen äußerst schnellen, kompetenten Mitarbeiter haben, der die Firma positiv vorbildlich und unkompliziert vertritt! So soll es sein, so wünscht man es sich – und genauso war es! Vielen Dank!

Ho recentemente acquistato la telecamera e sono rimasto estremamente soddisfatto dell'esperienza complessiva. Questo dispositivo ha superato tutte le mie aspettative e mi sento felice di condividere la mia esperienza positiva. Innanzitutto, la funzionalità a 355°/90° Rilevamento Umano/Veicoli Auto-Tracking - Visione Notturna a Colori Audio Bidirezionale di questa telecamera è assolutamente incredibile. Copre un'area vastissima senza lasciare angoli ciechi, garantendo una sorveglianza completa e affidabile. Posso monitorare con facilità ogni angolo, sia di giorno che di notte, grazie alla sua visione notturna a LED di alta qualità. La risoluzione video è nitida e chiara. Ma ciò che ha reso davvero eccezionale la mia esperienza è stata l'assistenza clienti. Ho avuto un piccolo problema tecnico sul WiFi. Ho contattato il servizio clienti e sono rimasto colpito dalla loro disponibilità e professionalità. Il team di supporto ha risposto prontamente alle mie domande e hanno risolto il mio problema in breve tempo, fornendomi una nuova telecamera. Ho apprezzato davvero l'approccio paziente e cortese che hanno avuto nei miei confronti. In sintesi, è un dispositivo eccezionale rapporto qualità/prezzo che offre una sorveglianza completa e affidabile. Tuttavia, ciò che davvero fa la differenza è l'assistenza clienti straordinaria. Il loro impegno nel garantire la mia soddisfazione è stato evidente fin dall'inizio e mi ha dato una grande fiducia nell'utilizzo del prodotto. Consiglio vivamente questa telecamera a chiunque cerchi un dispositivo di sorveglianza di alta qualità senza spendere tantissimo con un supporto clienti senza pari.

Superb camera at a good price backed up with brilliant after sales service. Great picture quality and very easy to use mobile app. I have five of these cameras and one of them went wrong (would not turn left to right). I contacted support and Eric answered my query within 24 hours. After trying to rectify the issue remotely and not being able to, a new camera was despatched within three days of my initial query. The camera arrived three days later. I really cannot fault the service I got - after all things do go wrong and it is how the issues are delat with that is important. Big shout out to Eric who was very responsive and helpful throughout.
