Unboxing:
1. We have our mounting template
2. A window sticker
3. A 1m long network cable
4. A security bracket
5. A pack of screws and anchors and a reset needle
6. Up next, an adapter to power the camera. This camera doesn’t support PoE. If you connect this camera to your network over WiFi or a network cable, you’re going to need to run a power cable too.
7. Here is a 4.5m or 15ft power extension cable
8. Lastly, we have the camera

Camera Specs:
1. It’s pretty small in size at about 11cm high or 4 1/3 inches.
2. Feels like a nice quality plastic. I’d recommend installing it under an eave or under a deck, somewhere to protect it from directly getting pounded with heavy rain and wind.
3. Using any of the camera’s user interfaces you can turn or pan the lens; you can point the lens up or down (or tilt) and you can zoom in. This camera has a 3x zoom which is great for the price point of this camera. With 1x zoom, the lens is at 2.8mm with a horizonal angle of 90 degrees and vertical one of 68. When zoomed in all the way, we have an 8mm lens and a horizontal angle of 48 degrees and vertical angle of 37.
4. Behind that lens, the image is projected onto a CMOS sensor 1/2.7 inches in size. It supports an amazing 5mp resolution at 2560 X 1920 pixels up to 25fps.
5. Continuing on the tour, around the lens we have 2 sets of lights. First off, we have 12 infrared night visions lights good for up to 12m or 40ft. We also have LEDs to act as a little spot light.
6. Right below the lens, we have an environment lighting sensor to tell them camera when it needs to switch to black and white nighttime mode.
7. On the top of the camera there is a status LED. When it’s flashing, that means the WiFi connection is not configured or it has failed. When solid, the camera is booting up or the WiFi is connected.
8. Since this camera supports 2-way audio, there is a mic located here and speaker here on the back.
9. Next, we have the micro-SD card slot here at the bottom of the camera. There is a watertight hatch and the maximum card size is 256gigs to record motion detection footage. That’s about 72 hours of motion detection footage.
10. Next to the card slot there is a reset button. Use that needle and press on the little button for 5 seconds to reset the camera back to factory defaults.
11. Lastly, we have the 2 leads. There’s a network connection to hard wire this to your NVR or network. The other connection here is the 12v DC connection to power the device. Just as an FYI, I connected the camera to a power meter and it uses just over 4 watts unless the spot lights are on, then it uses 7.

Location tests (daytime and nighttime footage in addition to audio tests)
1. Inside - Awesome picture during the day but a little purple fringing around high contract differences. Good footage at night with the IR lights and also good with the spot lights on. The audio is also pretty impressive.
2. Back deck - Also impressive during the day with good coverage. At night, my yard is a little too big for this camera but you can still see over 200 ft away.
3. The driveway - The PTZ ability allows me to keep an eye on the front door, garage doors and the driveway itself. The license plate test was pretty impressive as we can see the details 90ft away. At night, the plate’s reflective surface keeps us from seeing much. It easy to see that this camera will be more suited for a residential area where driveways are shorter and there are streetlights.

We end off with a cold test in -30 degree weather and a siren distance test.
