4K PTZ Security Camera Outdoor with 50X Optical Zoom, 1000FT Night Vision, 8MP 360° WiFi Wireless RTSP IP Camera, Auto Tracking, Person/Vehicle Detection, 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi, 2-Way Audio

If you are looking for a flexible 24/7 PTZ camera with great resolution and fantastic optical zoom (not digital) look no further. You could probably tell what your neighbors 4 doors down are having for dinner. The infrared mode is pure beast mode. At night it looks like the Eye Of Sauron and frankly its downright intimidating. For any hapless perp that happened to miss the evil red eyes peering through the darkness, they are sure to need an extra pair of underwear when the spotlight, sirens, and red and blue light lights activate. For the cons, the AI recognition and motion detection is terrible. It keeps identifying my neighbors mailbox as a human. Sometimes fence posts as well. When you turn the sensitivity down, it starts to miss real people motion events, and still picks up that dang mailbox. When it does manage to track the target, the camera sometimes goes nuts, loses track of the original target, and never goes back to the preset cruise. I didnt have much hope here for this, but didnt buy for ai alarm capability or tracking. The 24/7 recording is also remarkable for how much they can compress on a SD card at 4k resolution. Just dont set up your alarms where its constantly setting it of because an alarm recording didnt save right, and corrupted all the sd card data. Im giving it a 5/5 because it exceeded my expectations in what i bought it for. 24/7 monitoring with high power zoom.

A spectacular PTZ camera! I have had HXView security cameras for the purpose of watching critters in the yard. I have the 30x version but this 50x version is so much better. So much more detail, features and speed. It rotates very fast, zooms in/out at a good speed. You can have preset positions to make recalling specific positions simple. There are tracking features that I don't use, but I can see how that could come in very handy. The camera is easy to set up and use. The iPhone app walks you right through setup. Within only a few minutes the camera is active and recording. I can record video on schedules and take snap shots with ease. I use a micro-sd card in the camera so no subscription is needed! Typically, cameras with this level of zoom are very expensive or combine lower optical resolution combined with digital interpolation to create the illusion of zoom. No digital zoom here, all optical! I can zoom in on small birds on the feeders and nearby trees to see their details. We have a squirrel that visits every day and now we can see him up close! The pictures included are mostly at 50X at a distance of 45 feet away so you can see the zooming capability. The birds in the pics are only 2 to 3 inches long so you can imagine how zooming in on a human or larger animal would be. There is one that is at maximum width on a 50 foot wide yard. In addition, customer support is fantastic! I had a question and within a day, I got the answer I needed. I would purchase this again without hesitation!

Updated Aug 13/25 Image is terrific. Optical zoom is the only way to go. Auto tracking and alarm trigger surprised me, it works very well from my phone. Quick and easy initial setup to the phone. Regarding the PC HiP2P client software; There are some idiosyncrasies to get use to. I had difficulty installing software that allows me to control and view on my PC. Documentation was the main issue for me as it is lacking clear descriptions of all the functions and procedures to operate. As it turns out it was a cockpit issue (me) caused by insufficient documentation that prevented a smooth install. 5 starts to the support team. As I was loosing interest in pursuing my issues, Wren, the support tech kept providing me things I could do to resolve my issues. That lead to a successful install and is working fine now. Thanks Wren. I now have 3 cameras up and running completing my security plan. Feb 2026 Update. I have to reduce my 5 star review to 3 after experiencing 3 cameras for the last 3 months. First of all it is impossible to keep these cameras connected reliably. I am plagued with intermittent disconnecting cameras day and night. I updated my WiFi hardware and network speed significantly. I even hardwired a camera (CAT6) to my router as a test and still lost connection and did not improve latency. Documentation sucks and can be considered non existent. I can't get these cameras to stop false alarming, even with minimal sensitivity selected. Online searches for help turned up nothing. It appears this camera BU900H is a bastard child as no one in support can answer my questions adequately. My perception is, they don't know and have no real technical information. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because the images are very good however controlling the camera is like controlling a MARS Rover. It takes up to 13 seconds for my PTZ command to be respond to an command input. I'm sure someone smarter than me can tweak or tune my network for priority but none of my other devices have this issue. For these reasons I'm out. I I no longer recommend purchasing this camera because the documentation, reliability and command latency is unacceptable.

The camera works great but after a week of use the power supply went out.

I bought this camera to keep an eye on my property and it’s honestly been a great purchase. The 4K picture is really clear during the day, and the night vision is much better than I expected. I like being able to pan, tilt, and zoom from my phone instead of needing multiple fixed cameras. Setup was pretty straightforward, and I had it up and running in just a few minutes. It’s been really great so far and gives me piece of mind. For the price I think it’s a great value, and I’d definitely buy it again.
