1. The Devolo Cam had no motion or alarm
2. The Devolo Cam had always attached an additionally connected to the router via Ethernet cable during operation
Technically, the two cameras are similar:
Both are designed as small home cameras (Indoor)
Both have VGA resolution (640x480)
Both have a night vision function
However VA033K has the great advantage of the motion sensor / alarm function that can be integrated via WLAN in the Netztwerk easy and is controlled via app (down / left right high).
Until I had the first picture on the smartphone, passed about 15 minutes. Simply connect the camera (when first connected, I recommend always basically via ethernet cable to connect) and load the APP "P2PIPC" from the Anroid Market. This file is included on the accompanying CD, but the version in the Market is more recent. The same goes for Apple / iOS.
Now you can, and I was very pleasantly surprised at the camera Add simply scan the QR code on the package and is already added to the camera. Easier than ever. About the app can configure the camera, take pictures and what is most interesting, pan the camera in the room and align it so specifically. The image transfer is stable and in the video mode, the VGA resolution according to "good". The images that you can shoot with the camera function are even mE very good. Another gimmick this camera has a built-in microphone. Man can therefore listen to the apartment and you can also voice messages in the Apartment Send in the pressing the microphone on the app. Thus, for appropriate language messages like "Hey Mausi, please suck the carpet thoroughly" or "Hello burglar, I'll give you 10 seconds to leave the house" Send.
What I do not get about the Android app, is to set the alarm function properly. Here I got contacted by the manufacturer and obtain assistance within 24 hours. In short: The alarm function should best set using the provided PC software, which then also worked well. First test messages folded very well, and I'm still trying with the sensitivity on.
The PC software is very extensive, you can build all the multi-camera monitoring screens. Again Note: Everything is in English.
All in all I am amazed at how much power you get with this camera at this price. She sends my old Devolo Livecam rightly retire and I can highly recommend this.
But when criticism I want to install: You should already bring some PC / camera basic technical knowledge to be able to perform the installation and settings. The included instructions are scarce and in English. Since this model is, however, now very common, there are also many instructions in German on the net.
I put some pictures in the gallery customers and hope to have helped in the purchasing decision.
