Optiarc WLAN IP Camera IP Cam network camera Plug & View (Accessories)

Customer Review

Was looking for an IP camera, which blows the recorded videos in addition to the cloud (eg Dropbox or Google Drive).
Because if a rogue takes along all the camera incl. The recordings on the SD card, then still to be unattainable already stored in the network the video.
This unit can this via FTP, e-mail and Google Drive for example if movement is detected.
So I got myself this unit because it also has the following positive things:

- 720p recording
- Tolerance (works well)
- Iphone / Android App with notification of motion detection
- Wi-Fi b / g / n
- MicroSD slot
- Can be slewed through browser and app

Facility should be ready in a minute on the QR-Code.
So unpacked, installed app on your smartphone and create an account. Well, you need an account with Digitus so you can get started.
On smartphone I could then immediately via Live View to see what the camera sees and also the camera back and forth swing. Super I thought, except that Google Drive could not be activated.
But where I put everything else as WLAN, motion detection, FTP, E-mail notification a etc?
This is only possible through the portal mydigitus.net.
There, a Java plug-in must be activated with an unknown publisher. There must be two Sicherheitswarungen confirmed what was wrong I am very optimistic.
So there first trying Google Drive to activate and then came the error message saying that the email address of Digitus is used.
One can not sign in with the Google Digitus address, but must make the Login via Google in mydigitus, so you can also use Google Drive equal.
This is but the Gmail address no longer, because it is "locked" even at Digitus. Holed at the beginning So with other Gmail address and Drive attempts to activate. It does not work.
Then tried the smartphone app and finally Google Drive is activated.
That was a bit more than one minute set-up time.
Now of course, I also wanted to enable FTP and Motion Detection. For this purpose it is necessary to embark on a setup portal directly to the IP camera at mydigitus. It is accessed via a DHCP address.
This is unfortunately not so pretty as to mydigitus.net and is not self-explanatory. Therefore necessarily download the manual from mydigitus and read.
There are also a plugin for the browser must be installed (OCX something) so you can adjust the recording and the detection area. That's what I did, but I saw that the motion detection area of ​​house is fully set over the entire surface.
The FTP menu I have not found, there is not even, unless you do a firmware update. But this is again only via Internet Explorer from Windows. So borrowed a Windows PC and made the update.
Then in addition the FTP menu came in the settings.
This also included a microSD card MUST be plugged in and the scheduler, the time can be set in blue blocks otherwise not be recorded. That I have not done and wondered why nothing is taken.
Now the pictures are displayed in the portal on a timeline and also the app on your smartphone.
Google Drive now also takes time-delayed video, but in RTV format. This proprietary format is opened in the portal in the Internet Explorer via Google Video. VLC plays it anyway from not.
I am not clear when the recording motion should happen sporadically.
The switch to Wi-Fi was not very easy, has only worked when I viewed the YouTube video of Digitus. It must be confirmed twice-Fi and 20 seconds to wait comes to the pop-Fi enabled. The page shows afterwards still on LAN, but it is wireless enabled. This confuses a lot.

I very much hope to a firmware update otherwise the part moves back again.

Update:
Sorry, an entire day trying to get the part to run, and then comes the following as a coronation:
- That thing has suspended today and is swung only in the back and forth circle.
- The camera is no longer accessible via the Portal: Java applet - was login.mydigitus.net when using the plug-ins libjvm.dylib terminated unexpectedly. The repeatedly.

This stuff travels back 100%.
