Commissioning / Function: commissioning is quite easy due to the description. The Micro-SD (8GB) I had to move with a small screwdriver to snap. The software (accessories) was quickly installed and set with my personal settings the camera for the first use. Important only any change in the software is also to take over and carry on the camera itself via the slide switch function selection.
Field of application is in my long-term monitoring (day / night) in the near field
Result: without sufficient light useful images. People who fumble around in the dark with a flashlight at a distance of one meter from the camera can not be assessed by sex, size, or appearance. At sufficiently light the images of such quality to persons must be identified at least subjectively.
With me were both short recordings instead (about 20sec) and longer with 5min. Is related how long and how quick succession a moving object is detected.
For best results, taught me the setting with high frame rate / 5min Recording time / motion mode and day mode. All other modes have I disabled, as well as the status LED. Recordings with 5min occupy about 40MB. The recording I have placed on loop and reluctantly part with the AC adapter supplied as the battery after 12hr. was empty, was it as often taken independently of the camera. In standby it considers perhaps longer, just was not the camera with me when active in the monitoring area has done. Good if you have a socket close is where you can provide the part unobtrusively with juice.
The "night mode or change mode" has in me just made sure they were completely useless the recordings and the part has continously recorded repeatedly for no apparent reason (both day and night).
What I miss: This part with a stronger battery and the possibility that the camera on from standby recording (motion mode) and a holder with ball and suction cup.
Conclusion: if the application scenario fits a good part. That would, for example, in a room / office monitoring a subregion best in a small window of a few hours, otherwise must be powered by the AC adapter.
However, anyone who wants to cover larger areas, the whole thing over a long period as well as day / night is something else better off.
For the price what it cost me, there are 4 star, the fifth falls mainly to the weak battery victim
