INSTAR IN-2905 V2 Weatherproof Wireless network camera for outdoor use (24 LED infrared night vision, IR cut filter, audio input / output) black (accessories)

Customer Review

Hello everybody,
I have bought myself the IN-2905 based on a recommendation. The whole thing is my first Überwachnungskammera so I did not have much experience.

The Vorrezensionen is actually not much to add: ordinary processing, good price performance ratio, worked day and night, etc.

However, I am unhappy with the CAM and have them sent back. For this my reasons:

1. A resolution of 640 x 480 is not enough to a face etc. even at a distance of less than 10m to recognize.
(Realize that I could have known in advance, but I was probably not enough experience)

2. activities of the alarm: Unfortunately, I failed to find a suitable setting value here.
The CAM uses a differential comparison of the whole image. The value 3 they do not release at 4 produces false alarms about 5-10 day and resolves not look at night for smaller people.

3. WLAN: here there seem to be incompatibilities. With a Fritz box the CAM ran flawlessly with my Buffalo router running DD-WRT was the CAM always overnight no longer accessible. After restarting it ran well again. The web server running under the Fritzbox quite fast getting a little slow at Buffalo.
The whole would be certainly able to examine a little more closely. See also in forum.instar-cam.com which is full of this subject.

4. The Kammera radioed home to China without which one can turn off this feature. Although there only the IP address and port is transferred, but who knows whether the CAM software is not a programming error, the leads can be accessed. Not to mention of a potential back door manufacturer completely. You can all in its firewall (if you ;-) has something even block. I mean but have found that while the web interface is slow.

Conclusion: For my purpose "alarm generation with pedestrian recognition" in the WLAN is not usable. I will therefore now try it with a higher-value model LUPUS HD LE940.

If you only want to look at times with the phone remotely to the right and one is not so sensitive to privacy can safely start with the CAM something. In any case, quite inexpensive.

Greeting
Dieter Plassmann

PS: The Android version of IN-star I did not get up and running stable. There are in the market but "IP Cam Viewer" that really works without any problems.
