Although it is an indoor camera, this may possibly be mounted outdoors on a covered and weather-protected place.
For me there is in this respect no problems so far.
Material / Design
The surface of the camera is made of rubberized plastic (matt black or matt white).
At the base a flexible antenna (horizontally and vertically aligned) is screwed.
Using an attached bracket (incl. Screws / wall plugs), the camera can also be mounted on walls and ceilings without any problems.
Overall, the camera is solid and clean. Only the antenna connection was, as already mentioned by other buyers, even with my little loose and had to be tightened by me.
Camera Setup / function
Installation is from the detailed and illustrated manual (in exceptional cases in comprehensible German) feasible for everyone.
Something in this category less experienced users should, however, first had to read the instructions carefully and take for the initial well between 30 and 60 minutes.

These include, inter alia, control and configure the camera, recording (limitation on hours or single day possible) and to set alarms.
Image Quality
The Life image generated by the connection really surprised me very positively in terms of resolution / quality. The picture is clear and well-lit.
The term "HD resolution" but should not be compared to the HD image of a television.
In the dark, the camera switches automatically to night vision mode and activates the mounted around the camera lens IR LED's. Again, the camera provides a quite good live image.
Conclusion
Finally, consider the offers very solid processed camera with numerous functional possibilities a really good price / performance ratio.
Besides the supplied software with which to HooToo definitely deserve no laurels, I have nothing to complain about.
From my perspective, I can recommend this product at a price of under 100.- anytime.
My vote is therefore:
Despite very worthy improvement software just five stars, as in all other categories far more than the average for this price offers.
