Customer Review

The hardware is actually pretty neat. The image / video quality of maximum 640x480 delivers acceptable sharp images, even if the color a bit dull, but still acceptable, appear. Possibly this is due to the infrared sensitivity of the system. At night, with lighting without artificial light only on the eingbauten infrared LEDs, the images only black and white but are naturally clear and crisp. Rotate, pan, auto. Brightness adjustment, LAN / WLAN function as specified.

The software used with Firefox on Linux, motion detection with email allows message and FTP storage, All thing just with some 10th-second delay, so that a short, quick movement can not be detected - the transmitted images are simply empty. Under Firefox, there is no audio - neither microphone nor loudspeaker - and no timestamps and no Videorekording. The FTP storage is not an option, since this does not allow faster storage than 1Bild per sec. The use of AktivX with IE requires fairly extensive inactivation of security settings, and should be carefully considered!

The German translation of the "manual" is not only very briefly but was completely incomprehensible to me. The English translation is cruel, but with difficulty understand the causes. This manual is an impertinence!

Overall, the camera meets the minimum requirements, but who is dependent on German explanations should look at alternatives!

PS Meanwhile, I have found that the company Instar also offers on Amazon its camera IN3010 which appears to be consistent in all hardware and software details, including the firmware version number with the HooToo camera (The Web GUI is in HooToo currently a few minor releases continue) but about 20 more costs. For the German manual is but really good (!), And there are a variety of accessories and spare parts, not to mention a German forum with support from INSTAR!
