Customer Review

The VA033K of DBPOWER is an IP Camera which is located just under 40 in the lower price segment.
You can transmit both via LAN cable and wireless images, has a resolution of 640 * 480 and a night and motion sensor.

Supplied are:
The 1x Pan Tilt Wireless IP Camera, camera mount, power plug, LAN cable 1m, plug adapter 3-pole, CD with software and manual (English / Chinese PDF) and 2 x mounting screws with dowels

At first glance, the packaging and the camera make a solid impression. The camera mainly consists of plastic, but is processed fairly decent. You can pan 360 ° and does so quite fluently and mostly quiet.

The initial installation was with me not possible using the supplied software. This is in English and Chinese, and not really understood. Also on the manufacturer's website can be found, unfortunately, no help. With the help of Internet forums and freeware which still is but doable.
Layman I would therefore advise against this cam, with a little experimentation, the installation is then to make it.

After installing the Cam image quality is superior in dynamic range and color reproduction for the price range ok, but overall underwhelming. Especially when it is dark, the images are more gray. The built-in IR sensor brings no great power, so that when it is dark almost nothing can be seen.
The cam may well be used, but not at night and just as indoor surveillance camera. They met here all promised benefits more or less well.
Annoying I constantly feel the green flashing light on the front of the action.

Conclusion: The VA033K is a passable for this price class IP Cam with very poor software. For the home monitor with basic requirements, it is useful in this price range.
