A major strength of this device lies in the very interesting alarm function. Here you can have it sent to their own email address in the event of an alarm when needed, photos. In practice, it looks like this: Before the camera moves a bit, immediately Photos are taken from the field and sent to the registered email address. Also from smartphone or tablet, the photos appraised. So if you just sit at the end of the world, can always observe what is happening at home or is precisely informed in case of an alarm with photos.
Through the software, the browser or the app, the camera can be controlled in real time. The camera head pivots 360 degrees, up, down and to the sides. Almost everything can be considered, so far as the camera is mounted in a prominent corner on a wall or the ceiling.
About the quality of the images is debatable. An alarm-photo for example is only 250-400 KB. Of course, this may not be much for declared 1280x720P. I do not know is why here always spoken of HD quality. A lot of it has to do with it not. But: Everything that happens in front of the camera, no matter whether it's day or Shell Stock Dark, is clearly discernible. The small screen size and to go naturally leads the consumed volume by opening the images not to increase unnecessarily. Good enough for me just fine.
The night shots are black and white.
With us, the camera is only 5 meters from the router. Connection problems and long waits do not exist.
When the camera moves, they are very quiet noises. Should it be very quiet in the room, the get of course with all the people therein. I already had a security camera that was in the lens rotate very loud.
For fastening screws and suitable dowels are included. Thus the device can be easily attached to a wall. The power cord could be a bit longer. An extension cord was inevitable with us.
The processing of the camera a quality image. The matt housing does not allow fingerprints. Dust-prone, the device is not. Everything looks stable. A similar high-quality camera I could find in stores only for twice the sales price.
Conclusion: So far we have no problems with the HooToo surveillance camera. It provides a little more security for private use. In particular, the alarm function is great. Anyone looking for a simple, low cost, reliable device with German instructions, will find with the HooToo. Great device!
