ANNKE C500 PoE CCTV Security Camera Outdoor, 5MP 3K Super HD IP Camera Compatible with Alexa and 100 ft Night Vision, IP67 Waterproof, Audio, Motion Alerts, Built-in MicroSD Card Slot

Mi serviva una CAM da mettere in rete con altre due, collegate a un NVR (registra le varie CAM su un hard disk).Installata all'ingresso di un portone sotto una tettoia molto alta permette di vedere bene chi suona per ottenere l'apertura dell'ingresso (le telecamere sono tutte segnalate a norma di legge).Non ho avuto nessun problema ad installarla e dopo una settimana posso dire che non ho avuto nessun problema, anche di notte, posso spostarla a 360° per riconoscere bene chi suona, è una funzione molto interessante per me perché permette di vedere volti e targhe, anche se 5MP sembrano pochi, certo c'è di meglio ma a questo prezzo direi che ne vale la pena.Funziona anche tramite app, l'ho provata prima di installarla e funziona bene come allarme movimento.Non scrivo le altre caratteristiche perché si possono leggere nella descrizione della CAM.Al momento ne sono soddisfatto.

This camera was purchased to replace a Hikvision DS-2CD2032. It’s quite a lot bigger than I expected but it was no problem to fit. POE is the only real option for security cameras as it is reliable and only requires 1 cable. I connected it via a TP-Link POE switch which in turn is connected to my Synology DS118 NAS. The DS118 runs Synology’s Surveillance Station software.The image quality of this camera is very good, much better than my old Hikvision. Also the field of view is wider. The high dynamic range is a great feature and the H265+ files are much smaller than the H264 files the Hikvision produced. I use the event detection on the camera to trigger the NAS recording which is easy to set up and reliable. If you are using a NAS enable ONVIF and create an ONVIF account on the camera.The build quality is not as good as the Hikvision camera but is still excellent.If you apply online to Annke you can get an extra years warranty.Overall at £60 it represents very good value for money.

Acquistata con un po’ di dubbio dato il prezzo ma ne sono veramente soddisfatto, buona visibilità sia di giorno che di notte. Io l’ho collegata direttamente al router per avere la visione in diretta ogni volta che ne ho bisogno ma volendo si può collegare anche ad un NVR per registrare 24/7.È dotata si una testa regolabile a 360°

I chose this model as it provided a 2.8mm lens which gave a wider field of view compared to others brands which usually sat at the 3.6mm to 4.00mm range. The other selling point for me was that the camera also offers onboard SD Card slot, which is handy if you don't have an NVR to hook it up to and use it as a standalone unit.The camera will be used to monitor my car port and door entrance at the front of the building, so will have to handle a wider field of view, not so much a longer narrow one.The camera was easy to setup, plugging into a POE switch providing power and network via single cable. First power on was easy, via SADP tool on Windows to configure the IP address and gateway for my network, as well as activate the camera. Then it was a doddle to access the management console of the camera using IE web browser by typing in the IP address and configuring the options of the camera. All pretty standard comparable to other WebGUIs I have experience with such as HiLook, HWatch and Hikvision units.The Annke unit offers platform access, which once enabled on the camera GUI can be accessed via the Annke Vision app available on Android and iOS, which was easy to setup by using the cameras Serial number. I had this setup within 5 minutes, very easy and able to see the camera picture on my iPhone.The camera detects motion events and can send push notifications to the App, or via a email which can be specified. It will also obviously record to the built in SD Card.I was very impressed with the picture quality whilst setting the options, tomorrow I will install the camera on my wall, but so far the camera is just as good as more expensive units I have used. I haven't tested the Nightvision yet, but from having looked at this, it seems the camera uses 2 IR lights as opposed to a plethora of diodes around the lens which can in some cases attract unwanted attention to the camera - this model operates more covertly this way.The camera will be wall mounted initially without a mounting bracket, needing to be purchased separately. These tend to be quite pricey for what they are so it helps to shop around for them. They do offer greater degree of movement for placement and directing the angle - but the GUI provides the ability to flip and switch the picture should you have to mount it upside down of vertically.There is an LED streetlight near my property, so it will be interesting how the picture quality and nightvision copes with this out of the box, but if it doesn't there are lots of user customizable settings to play with to configure the unit to compensate.Software setup of the camera took less than 10 minutes from unboxing to having it ready configured to be hung on the wall. All in all from what I have seen so far of the picture quality, it is very good and I am pretty happy with the configurable options. The ANNKE Vision remote viewer app is quite good too, intuitive and responsive.I will update the review once the camera has been in use for a while and has experienced the weather conditions etc.

The camera has great quality you are able to see from long distance and with this it support 265x format that will save me a lot of memory.It Took me in total of installing three camera only 30 min. For me it was Plug & Play experience most difficult part was finding the IP of the camera but when I have found it it was easy accessible through their Camera website., when I had few question or difficulties I had email their support and they have replied to me next day with great information that I needed.The cameras have a lot of settings that I am able to change to my preference. I have turn on 265+ format that take less memory and it has high quality.I would totally recommend their cameras if you looking for plug and play experience.
