SV3C 4K PTZ CCTV Camera, Security Camera AI Person/Vehicle/Pet Detection, 36X Hybrid Zoom, 355° Pan 90° Tilt, Color Night Vision with Spotlights, Auto Tracking, Two-Way Audio, 2.4/5 GHz Dual-Band WiFi

This is one sturdy and feature packed camera. I had no problem setting its up via CamHiPro which took all of about 5 minutes. One of the easiest cameras I've set up. The picture quality is fantastic (One of the best I've seen in a while) and the zoom function is very handy whilst retaining clarity. The mounting bracket is very substantial and holds the camera in place even in windy weather. The pan & tilt is very smooth and the night time picture is really clear. The floodlights that you can set to trigger when a human is detected are very handy. It also has a full web interface for those that like to customise functions and the onvif system works seamlessly. Wi-fi detection was also very good and you can also hard wire it via RJ45 connection. The recording function worked very well and I was able to play back recorded footage with ease via the App. You can also adjust bit rate of each stream and frame rate long with the sensitivity of the sensor that switches from day to night mode. Push alarms are also supported and you can set the alarm to record video to a micro SD card. Overall I am very pleased with this camera, it's one of the best ones I've used for a while.

I have been using SV3C cameras for years without issue and have several units dotted around the home – some approach seven years old and still going strong. We recently had a new “man-cave” built at the back of our property and wanted another camera to monitor that area of our garden – naturally SV3C was my first port of call for this. This new unit – where to start? It is big and a lot heavier than you would expect – so it is very sturdy. The mounting is metal – again appears quite sturdy. The power adaptor supplied has a fairly long cable. The unit doesn’t support PoE like some of my other units which I would have liked however when look at the size /weight of it and what is inside, I daresay that there is no way that PoE would provide enough power for the unit. I had the unit up and running connected to my smartphone less than 5 minutes out of the box.. It supports both wireless and wired ethernet connection – I used the latter as I intended to attach the device to my existing camera cluster. I also liked that the system forced me to define a new password for the unit very early in the setup process – this ensured that I didn’t forget to override the default credentials. All the configuration and control can be done on your phone using the camHiPro app e.g. pan/tilt/zoom, image style – colour/IR, view / download images etc. The image resolution is really sharp and the system has AI style settings where it can be set to specifically identify humans, pets and vehicles. The human setting certainly seems to work as you would expect. This unit really is the most configurable security camera I have ever seen and you have multiple options available to you. You can browse to the IP address of the unit using Chrome/Edge and login to the device that way – this method also allows you to download a dedicated application to your PC to access and control the device albeit I did not feel the need to do this. You can choose to backup to cloud, ftp server, email, SD card and have the ability to specify a calendar working schedule. It can be set to forward push alarms to your phone. It also supports ONVIF / RTSP therefore is easy to connect this to a third party camera system (like mine). It did take me a few minutes through trial and error to identify the correct RTSP URL to connect to the device from my PC (initially using VLC player, then my existing PC camera software) which, for the benefit of others, I discovered to be: rtsp://192.168.x.x:554/12 and rtsp://192.168.x.x:554/11 (backup stream) where 554 is the default RTSP port (this can be changed within config) and 192.168.x.x is the IP address assigned to the unit (Obviously!). You can expand on this URL by adding configuring the unit to require a username and password in order to be able to connect. I am also really enjoying the zoom feature which provides very sharp close up images of objects that are quite far away – the auto focus seems to work fine here although I note there is also manual focus adjustment available should you need it. I tested it out on a couple of 6" figurines I had from about 6ft away - As you can see from the attached images - the quality of the zoomed in picture is tremendous. (also highlighted them as human! lol) All in all a very good product from SV3C. If it lasts anywhere near as long as my previous SV3C cameras then I will be a happy bunny indeed.

So we'll made. Not huge not small but expected for a ptz WiFi cam. Could not get the qr to find camera but using a net lan cable for setup worked great. There are several issues. 1. Advertises 18x optical.. sadly not. I took screen dumps at 1x and 18x on screen 3mm and 25mm is around 8 to 9 not 18. And the digital at 36x only 34mm so about 11x. I did email support before posting this but no reply ..bit disappointed. As for image quality . Very good. Panning is slowish and set rate but works nicely. 3 modes but cannot turn off the infrared at night. So IF have indoors or just don't want that obvious feature showing ... Not currently an option. But generally for the money it meets my needs tho the zoom statement is in my opinion very misleading UNLESS mine isn't working properly but as stated no reply from support so I'm assuming it's as expected.

The camera is well built. All be it quite large in size. The zoom is excellent with its 18x optical and then a further 18x digital making the total zoom 36x Setting up the app was easy camera connected straight away The motor for the movement is very smooth and makes very little noise One thing I will say is the card that contains the PTZ commands did not say how to turn on and off the auto tracking After chatting to the support team this has been sent to me Preset 92 turns on the Auto tracking Preset 94 turns the auto tracking off If you want the camera to return to a set point when the auto tracking is on you also have to set that point as call 92 in the Presets The infrared works very well at night Overall, I am very happy with this camera I have included 3 pictures, one of the camera and two views from the camera itself, one at normal focus and one zoomed in

I bought this to replace an old IP camera which had condensation inside the lens, so I wanted to add to my PTZ cameras. I have used SV3C cams before and found them to be good quality and work well, so when I saw this model with a 36x zoom I went for it. It arrived the day after it was ordered and I was surprised at the size of the box, and just as surprised at the size and weight of the actual camera. It is considerably bigger than any other PTZ cameras I use, and the weight suggests a solid metal construction. I really like the fact that the mounting arm can be fitted to the wall without the camera being attached, making installation really good. I use ethernet where possible for my cams, so can't comment on the Wi-Fi capabilities of the unit, but what I can say is that this was one of the easiest cams I have setup in BlueIris, software which I use for all my cams. This camera obviously has good ONVIF capability, and was instantly recognised & setup by BlueIris. The quality of the 4K video is incredible, and I have set it to pan between 3 points every couple of minutes, and it is the most accurate at maintaining consistency of where it points to after each pan of any camera that I have. As I use BlueIris I cannot comment on the CamHi or any other app, but the Chrome/MS Edge browser is great for tweaking the many available settings. All in all a great IP camera, and highly recommended.

I bought this to monitor my driveway. It is larger and heavier than I expected but in a good way. It seems very robust and durable with a strong metal housing and good construction. It looks designed to cope with bad weather without degrading. For example, the SD Memory slot is located underneath, with a decent gasket sealing it. Picture quality is excellent and the zoom is so good I can watch a beetle crawling up a leaf in my garden. Auto-focus and auto exposure work very well. PTZ functions well with many preset locations available and the ability to perform pre-defined, timed scans from location to location. I mounted mine inside my porch which did cause a problem when it switches (automatically) from day to night mode because by default, it switched the IR floodlights on. These reflected back from the windows, obscuring the view outside. However, they can be disabled using preset 83. I plan to illuminate the drive with an external floodlight. All that said, night view using the colour camera is still very good even without IR or daylight floodlights. If you mount your camera outside I expect you will get excellent results with no need for additional equipment. I'm impressed enough to have just bought a second to watch wildlife in my back garden. This will be mounted higher and set to use animal AI detection and tracking so I can capture Mr Fox when he comes to sunbathe in summer and the pigeons when they steal my plum blossoms. Documentation is not as comprehensive as it could be yet - the SV3C website does not yet have a full manual showing all the functionality but the SV3C support team were very responsive, providing me with all the details of the preset functions (including disabling IR lights). As its a new product, I expect the website will soon contain full manuals.

This is great sturdy camera which is easy to install and setup. 4k resolution 18x optical zoom enablea capturing minute details as required. ONVIF support means easy to use with standard IP Cam apps which you are already familiar with. Camera is very responsive and allows to setup primary and secondary streams in different resolution to enable fast live stream and high resolution video storage. Value is worth the peace of mind.

I have had the camera for a day and very impressed with it. It is easy to install and get up and running on the app. The image quality is amazing and I am particularly impressed with the quality at 36x zoom (see attached pictures showing zoom fuction). I like that you can set it up at night with an intelligent function which turns on a very bright security light when motion is detected and switches to full colour, then back to night vision. The light is such that you can't tell it is a camera! I have had a quick play with the programming function. I stored 16 preset positions and now the camera tracks your movement. The app is also pretty user friendly and intuitive.
