It was clear from the outset that I will buy China scrap with a poor image quality. That was perfectly fine for me. I wanted to use it to monitor only my small cellar where the servers are located.
The first start-up procedure lasted not even 2 minutes. Tadaaa .. image ... acceptable but almost bad as expected. As far as everything in 5 Sterene depreciation area.
After having the settings of the network range on my network Adjusted was the camera suddenly no longer reachable.
Why? My mistake ?? .. In the end, it was clear no, it was not my fault.
4-5-6 times remove the power cord and all at once the camera was reached at the settings I had made.
I do not want to talk shop too well, in any case the camera was back.
Since I wanted to operate via wireless camera, I now tried this.
A search for Wi-Fi networks found ... nothing ..
again, again and again ... peng suddenly they were all there. Very strange.
WLAN selected, registered data and you wanted the camera to restart again.
And you guessed it: Nothing.
In this case, no 4-5-6 times helped restart the camera.
To be sure it was not my fault, I asked the encryption of the WLAN's made so that can access every idiot plan.
And even that did not work out.
Funnily enough, I was also in no evaluation here read the device via Wi-Fi worked great. Rather, I've read "despair" so words like.
Since most comments was attributed to inability of users, has not irritated when buying me.
There seems however to be really so.
So next time I called the support in the United States. Perhaps there is a aktuallisiert-based software that addresses these issues?!?! After I only wanted to help garkeiner because my German phone number does not fit in the system, the lady was kind enough to write down my number and promised a prompt recall.
Where something ends, we know from German call centers ... klaro crying back none.
I could now go so far as to say my product is defective. But as far as I would no longer go. It just seems to be cheap and poorly written software.
As the reviews come about here. I want to express any presumption, but you can buy them.
Conclusion:
If you are willing to operate the camera only via a cable, it seems to work. I could embed the camera without any problems in our monitoring software. As far in advance a plus.
That picture is exactly what you pay for. Low resolution and rather poor. Night mode works perfectly, is in movement but more washed out than anything else.
As long as a thief not quietly moved one second looks at the camera, I suspect there is nothing worthwhile for the police.
I give this product a star because it does not meet the basic requirements which it advertises.
Poor picture, cumbersome handling or ugly appearance would have given me another 5 stars. But if the basic functions do not go then end in the shaft)

Update:
Have learned from the American hotline that there is exactly one person the technical support resolving issues over the phone. Ok. Slowly, the whole company is always strange.

Wow the call you back real. Middle of the night. Time zones are unknown)
The person (if it is really the only one that makes tech support) has admitted that the wireless is crap, got a different firmware via email and will test whether the waste can then be thus brought to work on wifi. Could not answer any deep technical question despite single person. Can I pose as quasi Support Note 5.
Faith firmware I've only got because I was extremely annoying and I had bombarded him with questions, to which he had no answer.

Camera returned. Spent 15 euros more and got a Foscam.
Image much better, decor was done in 5min including WLAN.
From the quality of the web interface I catch garnicht beginning. Again light years better.
Changes and reimbursement by the dealer were smoothly. Probably the best thing about the camera;)
I guess later on the purchase. It is not a user-friendly product.
