Quality Camera with many extras

First of all: I found the IP camera from HooToo thrilled! So far I have not had IP camera and can not draw any comparison with other products. But what makes this product is exactly what I expect.

Installation / Assembly: Contrary to some negative reviews here, the installation was pretty easy. The antenna we purely screwed on the back and - depending on the mounting location - an additional bracket easily be attached. The appropriate screws are included. The network and power cables are connected, even moves the camera and wakes up. In the same network I ladete me the specified app on your smartphone, photographed the QR code, and gave a default password. Already I could access the camera and see what she sees. Use of the app is only explanatory. Many settings, there is not. Using your finger to wipe the screen and then the camera moves in that direction. Granted, sometimes faster and sometimes slower. In the settings you can change the view mode, and for example, switch to night mode, outdoor or indoor light. Otherwise, the night vision mode also switches on automatically when it is dark.

Speaking of night vision: I find it amazing how good the image is, when it is dark in the room. The contained to the camera IR lamps light slightly red. However, it is so easy to get it overlooks like and not necessarily recognize from the side.

Outside of the WLAN network connection was delayed with the smartphone slightly or choppy. But less for the image, but rather for moving the camera.

Alternatively, the camera is also Wi-Fi capable. For this you have to connect it previously wired to the network and perform the configuration via PC software supplied or install the program. In it you can now enter the wireless data and then remove the cable. Et Voila, anywhere! The included bracket allows besides the normal putting down even the attachment to walls or ceilings. Video playback can be reversed or mirrored as required. However, a power supply must be present in the vicinity.

As an extra, an alarm can be set, for example, which provides information on the phone about movements or by push-up function even videos / photos recording. A recording at certain times is possible using the supplied software. Furthermore, audio can be transmitted. And depending on what you want in both directions (sending or receiving).

Negatives: It could have been programmed or describe the software a bit better. The user interface has keys which have no function or the function of which is not obvious to me. But can work together here several cameras. Basically, moving the camera via mobile went easier / faster than PC.

Application examples: Watch pet or baby; as an alarm / deterrent

Conclusion: The HooToo IP camera does not only look very good, it also offers extensive functions and is relatively easy to use (even if I've ever looked at the manual ^^). The picture quality can be set to monitor and perfectly adequate and clear. Anyone looking for a good IP camera is probably well advised with this product! I am very satisfied and therefore give it 5 stars.
