Instar provides complete monitoring and more

Each model has been updated immediately after arrival to the latest firmware and WebGUI.

By Möglichlkeit, with every device save 8 any position (with name), it is very easy to give the go via mobile and WiFi networks with an overview of his private environment.

Since the cameras have a built-in SD card, I use the built-in option in predefined periods of time
one photo per hour (both are but user definable) store. So two cameras take on daytime environment images that can be summarized by means of third-party software is very easy to "time-lapse photography" of a month or longer - the result is very impressive for me.

Meanwhile Instar offers an Android app for a Windows Phone 8.1 on - both free to use and intuitive!
The stored Posi ions retrieve via phone menu on the go so you can check multiple defined points very easily.

During longer absences, all cameras are switched to alarm notification via e-mail - so everything is monitored
and the photos are also directly attached to the email. In tests everything worked as desired.

The functions microphone / speakers are for me without relevance - therefore no Rating:

The data upload to an external NAS server I complete shortly ....

In summary:

positive:
- Easy to install
- Built-in SD card
- IR-LED lights let himself in the darkest rooms objects in an environment of 5 meters well and clearly recognize
- IR lights can be switched off (useful when shooting outdoors through the window = no reflections)
- Easily integrated in home networking
- Reliably accessible from the Internet via instar DDNS server
- Good, barely audible control of positions by PTS engines
- Easy switching between H264 and MJPEG mode
- In home network very good transfer rates = smooth
- On the Internet, depending on the upload speed of the DSL provider
- Wall mount, SD card included
- Programmed, scheduled recording video / photo to SD card / server possible
- Free apps for mobile phones / tablets
- Where many settings in WebGUI
- Very good customer service with a sensational response time (a camera lacked the P2P Code, but was remedied by the Customer within 8 hours via download link !!)

Neutral
- Supply of the power supply could be longer

Negatives:
- Detected no points

Compared to the functionality of the "smaller" 3011 are worlds apart - I had a model in this application and have it returned after a week => Permanent disconnections on DDNS server / Internet

Added to this is: Worse receiving area, as limited pivoting range of the camera is present, only MJPEG images and no SD card - but this but I knew when ordering

The higher price of about 55 euros to the 6012HD is for me a total for this test justified

Total: buy recommendation - because three cameras bought speak for themselves ....
