About the picture quality is indeed reported from all others, so only briefly: Adjusts so far. If no HD camera. Since no IR cut filter (IR Cut) installed, in daylight, the colors, especially blues and greens, falsified. For the shooting in complete darkness are surprisingly good. Movie can not rotate, but the like for monitoring suffice it thoroughly. Panning function well and also relatively quiet.
Now for the installation: here has been already written much that the accompanying descriptive rather scarce, which applies not only to this camera, but apparently all from the Far East. So be it. I write here some information about the installation (LAN, WLAN, Internet) because me a review by another buyer also has this helped. Without a hint of this, I would probably still tinkering.
Installation: A certain idea of the operation of its router and on the basics of LAN, WLAN etc. are helpful. Whoever has no idea, will be hard pressed not only with this product.
After connecting the camera; use the LAN cable to the router you need to start a program of accompanying small CD, namely the program "BSearch_en.exe This opens immediately -. An installation on the PC is done by the program obviously does not -. A window where can the search function (scan) the camera in the LAN are found.
On the right side can then also with the IP addresses check marks so that the camera an IP address is assigned by the router (likely the required setting for most his).
This now new IP address can be entered into the browser and you will reach the surface of the camera. Here the choice is made if you want to access with IE, Firefox, or mobile device.
Then you are in the camera's menu and can already see the transferred images.
Under the WiFi tab the settings for your own WLAN can then be made. Here you get a scan function to its own network to find and so on. Everything really just like to notify of a x-any wireless device.
Take note of WLAN:
LAN unplug the configuration. The MAC address (found on a label on the camera, or in the program window) is for LAN. For wireless there - as in many other devices - own MAC. So the router possibly the first restriction that only devices with known MAC can include, disable.
Also important to know: The camera works in WLAN NOT on the channels 12 and 13. Why, however, had no idea, for me the reason why I could not connect in long-Fi.
The access to the camera via the Internet requires a fundamentally HOST to the problem with the daily changing assignment of the IP address to be solved by the provider. Selfhost.de seems to me to be a good solution to free time and it works. To set up, there is a very good description of the Internet SecurTech24 [(had here the link set, the delete amazon but again: why googling for IP camera set Fritzbox SecurTech
In addition to the settings on your own router, no settings in the Camera menu are necessary. Also it is not necessary a bundled software on the computer to install. (Who knows what the Chinese because even with install .. ;-)
For control via Phone, Tab etc. There are countless apps, also free. Just take a look in the store ...
Übringes, brauchts with a few tips from the Internet, the description at all.
And for all the about the bad description too upset: Clear is weak. Then the "German" providers buy. Same technique, good description, double price. Is always a question of what is an important ....
