ImouBullet 2 2MP - Outdoor Bullet Camera, Full HD 1080P with Full Colour Nightvision, Built In Spotlights, AI Human Detection, 2 Way Audio, 110dB Siren & Local Hot-Spot Connection - H.265

28/01After several months use I thought I would update this review of the back of pretty much faultless operation and upped it to 5---Only had the camera a few days so will update this once its properly mounted outside (at moment its hanging off the fence to make sure the Wifi was strong enough etc).So far so good! Decent quality picture and managed to get connected to my NAS.Initially set up on just the app sitting next to me in the house and no problems finding and connecting to my Orbi wifi (noted 2.4ghz channel only, but doubt 5ghz channel would have reach outside anyway) . Notifications on app all worked fine although it does heavily drive you to use the free 7 day cloud trial, however I have zero interest in paying for this aspect as I want to use it with my NAS based camera set up (QVR Pro). Would be nice to stop nagging me about this though and still to try an SD card for local playback of events as without cloud its only a live view you get.You can turn on the light and siren from the app - I wouldn't get too excited about these as its not great but works at a pinch - again I doubt I would use the siren unless you were sure of no false alerts and a camera mounted outside WILL get false alerts. Hopefully the light provides some value but its not exactly a flood light, if its enough to see what I am doing with my keys on a dark doorstep though I will be happy (will update once properly mounted)In terms of quality the pic is very good and the unit seems well made and good quality (lot better than some internal plastic built things I have). Night vision I have yet to test outdoors but it looked ok inside and when the light comes on I would hope it would be better than night vision, at least for near objects.I would have posted this review later but thought it worth mentioning setting it up to connect to NAS had the challenge of finding a password and account as its not the same as the one you set up to use the app. The built in account is "admin" and the password for this is on a stick on the camera! Wasnt obvious and couldnt see this documented anywhere.Added at moment as an IMOU camera model and randomly selected one of the models available (I have since noticed G26 is listed which is close to this model so changed to this). So far seems to work and QVR is recording events it picks up correctly and I can hear sound through it should I wish.4 stars for now as the mounting bracket seems to be limited in direction with a 90 degree cut out in only one direction and its fixed on the base, so if your not careful how you mount the screws you could end up struggling to get the right angle. The siren is also pretty much pointless and the light is nice but doesnt add much. But as a camera its pretty decent so far and I just want to ensure it keeps running without dropping out for a few days. Will update soon!-----------So after mounting it properly I found you can rotate the bracket more than I realised at first so no issue in getting the right angle. The light is handy feature and will improve the picture at night if it goes off. I have found it hand for putting out rubbish in the corner its mounted but wouldn't be without a proper door light.It has been running without any issue on both my Synolgy NAS (QVR) and mobile phones without issue and provides a great picture and field of view. I have only just realised you can install a IMOU skill on Alexa devices to then add your camera so it can be viewed on here.I also only just turned on notifications after trying out the selection feature for motion detection. Will see how that works out as at moment the full screen gets too many alerts to be useful.I have not tried the cloud subscriber feature and probably wouldn't as you have to pay per camera. Its really annoying though that you get a pop up every time you click on a notification on mobile to be told you dont have cloud. I am going to see if fitting an SD card will stop this but suspect its by design.This camera is so good I just bought another model for the back garden which is why I wont use the cloud service as need to cover more than one camera per sub for me to consider it.

This camera packs some great features!I do enjoy playing with a new camera but playing with one that is also a security light as well as an intruder siren is great!The camera arrives well packed in its box. Inside the box is the camera, power adaptor, wall fixings & template, 'waterproof' cover for Ethernet connection and decent instructions.It has a plastic body with a metal mounting bracket. Overall it feels well made!The camera was VERY easy to set up on WiFi. Download app, make sure you phone is on the wifi network and your volume turned up and follow the instructions. The app uses sonic sound to transmit the info you enter in the app to the camera so be prepared for some noise when setting up.Once set up the app is simple to navigate. You can manual control the spot light and the siren, as well as set them up for auto activation when the camera detects motion.If you want to store data on the camera remember to order an SD card.You can also save snapshots and video from the app straight to your phone.I'm very happy with the quality of the image. I have a higher res camera set up on Ethernet outside but this 1080p camera, on wifi, produces a decent image with minimal blur.Night mode also produces a very clean image as the camera has an infra-red booster.That's it for now, once I have the camera mounted and given it a chance to show off it's abilities I will update this review.Because of the spotlight feature, I will probably set this one up to watch over the front of the house and drive.

Arrived quickly, unpacked but I was a little disappointed with the lack of detailed instructions, all that seemed to be included was a quick start guide. You download the app and follow some simple instructions to set it up. They are fairly straightforward but you need to use a little bit of intelligence following some parts of the instruction leaflet and read what it says on the screen of your device. There are no real instructions for the advanced settings on the app but they require a little thought to set. For example by default the time zone is set to Tripoli so this will need changing and DST (British summer time) needs to be activated to which it also wants the date range for this set! Why? On the subject of setting up take a photo of the serial number and safety code as this is only on the bottom of the camera and it will probably wear off or worst case you will be up a ladder for this info if you need to re input this info.The quality of the camera is good switching between SD and HD within the app. I’m using mine on wireless and on HD makes it a little laggy which is to be expected.There are some nice features like 2 way conversation via the camera, the ability to activate a siren remotely and turn on a very bright light both automatically with movement and directly from the app.This records either directly to a micro SD card or to a NAS drive both easily but the micro SD card is not included. It writes over the oldest recordings when full.I rated this as a 4 rather than a 5 as it only works on 2.4GHz wireless networks and not the newer 5GHz. I suspect this will be resolved in a later firmware update but in this day and age should be a standard feature. Another small point is the app whilst it works on an iPad is not optimised for it so doesn’t display bigger than an iPhone screen.
