Hi Pete, Thanks for your complete explanation, but i have some doubts: how the camera reacts in the presence of small animals (cats, rats and similars), and how it resists the bad the constant bad weather, includiding the accesories, because my home is in the coast.Greetings from Brazil.
the sensitivity can be increased or decreased to alarm when small animals cross the path. It is water resistant and not water proof so it can withstand splashes of water from all angles but not withstand submersion.
Very accurate review Just one question The camera cannot record automatically using pan or tilt right It will only record motion & everything from the one position it has been set to by the user Am I right????
If you set it to auto tracking it will track the human/object accordingly. But yes if you keep it at steady mode it will only record videos in that position
Hi. As far as I can see this camera doesn’t have a zoom facility! Unless you can tell me something I can’t find on everything I’ve looked at about it. I’ll be very happy to be wrong as I’d love it to have a zoom!
@@RCEscape yeah I thought it had no zoom as I was looking for one with a zoom. No good having a 2mp camera if you get burgled you won’t have a clear picture of the burglar.
I'm with you. He is showing a pinch-zoom but most desktops do not have a touch screen monitor, so for that application, there is no Zoom unless someone can show me how to Zoom using a desktop. Does anyone have an answer to this??
Pete, you have several security cameras from different brands, isn't it hard to monitor events around in/out side of your house with so many apps installed in your phone?
Hi Pete, Thanks for the detailed description and explanation. I have purchased two cameras c8c 2 weeks ago and could not find any detailed instructions for use. I have questions about the detecting mode: 1/ how do you put it on? Is it possible that it starts when someone goes in front of the camera without recording the scene? What is the procedure? 2/ I suppose that I need to put an sd card into the camera to put on the detecting mode. So it means that the videos are stored into the camera, but that you can read the sd card from your smartphone? Is it correct? So 2 camera mean 2 sd cards. Is it correct? 3/ I would like that my cameras can record only when detecting someone getting into its field. Can you explain how to do it? 4/ is it possible to set up the camera to detect only human beings, or also include animals? I would like to see which dog comes into my garden and record it also 😉 Well sorry for all this writing. And sorry for the mistakes as English is not my native language. I hope you could help me. All the best, knarf from France
yes you will need micro sd card for each camera. without it you cannot record. I set mine to record all the time and motion detect also so I have before and after the detection recorded. simply go to the hexagonal icon and go into alarm notification to set it. I don't think it has AI to differentiate humans and animals or leaves blowing by and in my opinion those features don't really work on other cameras I've tested.
@@RCEscape thanks so much for this quick return. I do well understand. If you record 24 /7 how many hours can you store on a sd card 128 or 256 Go? And once the card is full, you need to erase it or it starts all over and rip-off what has been recorded? I suppose that you can monitor the sd card from your smartphone (I mean, you don't need to unscrew the camera and take out the sd card to any reader or PC? 🤔🙃). Once again thanks for your very useful advice. knarf
Hey Pete 👊 sorry been awhile. Renter problems.. not a good time to be landlord.. Then when looking at mountain property. House was robbed. Took everything I own. Part's. Charger's..4 year's of buying gear. Gone.. I need a better camera than wyze they stole one! I don't Care what it cost. Need dependable camera. If Internet goes out still works. Fallows. Fewer false alarms. Can control how long it records after movement. And gets clear picture. If can't indentify. Useless. Cops barely do anything. Thanks brother.. miss flying.. miss posting and seeing friends.. Thanks for advice.oh and can share easily! So others can watch for you. 💪💪👍👍
Oh wow!! Sorry to hear that Bear. All security camera need wifi or ethernet but the only one I have that works without anything meaning no need wifi, no need power but needs cellular service is my REO LINK PTZ camera that works with a sim card and has a solar panel. So, they stole everything? Like all your flying gear and all?
A very bad camera that cannot protect your family at all unless you are subscribed to the cloud service, which costs you a lot of money to subscribe and is only supported in some countries. I owned one and my house was robbed and my camera and memory card were stolen and I can't even play the last video on their App. I contacted ezviz support and they couldn't help me with anything.

Great profressional review. Thank you from the UK!

You can pinch to zoom but it is just digital zoom and not an optical zoom so the pixels stay the same.
@@RCEscape yeah I thought it had no zoom as I was looking for one with a zoom. No good having a 2mp camera if you get burgled you won’t have a clear picture of the burglar.

Pete, you have several security cameras from different brands, isn't it hard to monitor events around in/out side of your house with so many apps installed in your phone?
Lol! So I have three old ipads that suck but still work great with the apps. They are the perfect monitors :)
Hi. Can u show how to go on settings of the camera? I cannot find Mine on the app. Need turn of night light.

anyone know why in the life stream feeds. there is a letter S written beside the time ? is it the direction ?

it has something to do with the time zone
@@RCEscape nope.. not even in the same hemisphere as US. time zone huh ? interesting. thanks bro
Hi, does this require any wiring installation?
Yes the power cable.
Where would this power cable go? I thought it was wireless?
The camera won’t have night vision working without IR lights😢

Yes you can :)
