4K PTZ Security Camera Outdoor with 50X Optical Zoom, High-Speed 360° Pan & 90° Tilt, 8MP WiFi Camera with 1200FT IR Night Vision, Auto Tracking, Person/Vehicle/Pet Detection, RTSP

I have lived in the same home for 22 years and have always made home security a priority. Before 2022, I used older hard-wired cameras on the four corners of my property. When I learned that Wi-Fi cameras could be viewed and controlled from both my home computer and iPhone, I began searching for a system that would be easy to install and easy to use. The HXVIEW BUH900 has exceeded my expectations. Its PTZ capability, AI detection for people, pets, and vehicles, and outstanding high-resolution image quality make it an impressive camera. What stands out most to me is the 50X optical zoom, which gives me exceptional visibility. Not all adjustments and features are explained in the booklet provided with the purchase. That is where Ebulwark Technical Support has been especially valuable to me. They helped me adjust the camera speed in patrol mode, fine-tune the PTZ functions, and better understand the quick-access menus. Whenever I was unsure about an instruction, they were patient, explained it again clearly, and, with my permission, were even able to review my settings directly. Their technical support has been outstanding. I personally watch over and take care of the home across the street for six months each year while my neighbors are away in Europe, and this camera allows me to monitor their property with confidence. I can even see packages left on the front porch in remarkable detail. After seeing how well my camera performed, my neighbor purchased two units for his own home. He especially enjoys the rear camera, which overlooks a retention pond and lets him watch birds and wildlife while he lives in Poland for half the year. I have also included a few pictures taken by the camera to support my opinion of its exceptional image quality. The HXVIEW BUH900 has been easy to install, easy to program, and simple to operate. Its patrol, tracking, zoom, and clarity are outstanding. I highly recommend the HXVIEW BUH900. Once you see the difference between ordinary zoom and true optical zoom, there is no going back. The value is the best for your money. The connection is constant. To the tech team, THANK YOU for being patient with me and helping me make this the best camera I've ever had.

Being a retired security systems installer, I can say for the price you will not find a better PTZ. Open the box, insert the 128 microsd card( not included) , connect the antenna and power it up. Thats it. I set it up on my table. You just scan the QR code on the camera into the CamHiPro app that you download for free. All I had to add was my router password. I mounted it on my patio near the ceiling. I have a 110v receptical just below it for power. The power cord has a box about 2"x4" in-between the a/c plug and the banana plug that plugs into the wire harness coming out of the camera. This box in not waterproof so if you will have it exposed you will need to put it in a waterproof box. You can just drill a hole from inside to outside and push the wires inside it will be fine. The Human tracking works very good. It will follow them until they leave the frame. It will then return to the starting position in about 60 seconds. To make this work, just set it up by doing position 92 set from the starting position, then 92 call. Then it will auto follow. I have it for human only. The Alarm is also set for IR only. The night color mode is awesome as long as the light is not shining in your neighbors windows. The cruise mode works great on positions 1 to 10. I do not use it as you may miss something if the camera is facing the wrong direction. The optics are very sharp with 4K. The 128 sd holds 6 hours of 4k video. I also have the $4.99 per month 7 day alarm recording. the $4.99 was purchased thru the app on my iPhone and is good for 30 days. I will renew it monthly, not automatic. This camera has a high speed, 360 full rotation. At far view it slows down so you can move it a small amount at a time, I like that. in conclusion, for the price and ease of use this is the camera to buy. Also the Hip2p software you can download to your mac or pc works like a virtual nvr. It lets you review the video and see live. you can also move the camera. If you have 2 of these you can have multiple screen view.

Updated Aug 13/25 Image is terrific. Optical zoom is the only way to go. Auto tracking and alarm trigger surprised me, it works very well from my phone. Quick and easy initial setup to the phone. Regarding the PC HiP2P client software; There are some idiosyncrasies to get use to. I had difficulty installing software that allows me to control and view on my PC. Documentation was the main issue for me as it is lacking clear descriptions of all the functions and procedures to operate. As it turns out it was a cockpit issue (me) caused by insufficient documentation that prevented a smooth install. 5 starts to the support team. As I was loosing interest in pursuing my issues, Wren, the support tech kept providing me things I could do to resolve my issues. That lead to a successful install and is working fine now. Thanks Wren. I now have 3 cameras up and running completing my security plan. Feb 2026 Update. I have to reduce my 5 star review to 3 after experiencing 3 cameras for the last 3 months. First of all it is impossible to keep these cameras connected reliably. I am plagued with intermittent disconnecting cameras day and night. I updated my WiFi hardware and network speed significantly. I even hardwired a camera (CAT6) to my router as a test and still lost connection and did not improve latency. Documentation sucks and can be considered non existent. I can't get these cameras to stop false alarming, even with minimal sensitivity selected. Online searches for help turned up nothing. It appears this camera BU900H is a bastard child as no one in support can answer my questions adequately. My perception is, they don't know and have no real technical information. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because the images are very good however controlling the camera is like controlling a MARS Rover. It takes up to 13 seconds for my PTZ command to be respond to an command input. I'm sure someone smarter than me can tweak or tune my network for priority but none of my other devices have this issue. For these reasons I'm out. I I no longer recommend purchasing this camera because the documentation, reliability and command latency is unacceptable.

The good first has decent mic you can hear outside really good and it's true full zoom has crisp clear image doesn't lag much on auto focus for the money its a good buy unfortunately for me I bought it for the 50x optical zoom and it's not even close to sunba 36x optical zoom maybe they come up with the 50x zoom because it starts off at neg 20x or something but side by side the 36x sunba can see much further so I'm returning and buying another 36x sunba cuz it's not even close to 50x closer then natural sight and a tip for using this cam drag your finger in direction you want cam to move in short moves to get the cam to move in small increases other wise the whole view moves to a new screen of view but ir is good speed of movement is acceptable but lacks advanced settings and features over all I give it 4 stars for the money but don't expect actual 50x magnification

The BU-H900 PTZ was easy to setup and configure with the CamHiPro Android App. I mounted it outside against a building on the balcony of the third story. The image quality is excellent in the daytime; it tends to be somewhat grainy at night (Intelligent Mode used). At full zoom around 100' away, details are sharp, but the autofocus can be somewhat noticably slow. The video frame rate is a little low because even people walking at a casual pace, you can see trailing artifacts. Its "Humanoid Recognition" and subsequent alarm does not work very well when the subject is directly below; I had to use non-AI pure motion detection to trigger an alarm at the tradeoff of more false alarms. Fortunately, there are 4 rectangular motion regions to confine the alarms. The app's ability to control motion at high magnification suffers because it is not fine enough for the narrow field of view; thus, there is a lot of experimentation with the PT to focus on the subject. But once you have your subject, be sure to make use of the Set positions for later recall; I consider this among the most useful functions of the app. The video playback from a Sandisk Class 10 SD Card performed quite well. There wasn't too much delay to bring up footage. The CamHiPro's app takes a little bit to get used to find the footage of interest but not too bad. There doesn't appear to be a way to turn the camera on/off on a schedule. This ability only exists for scheduling recordings. The audible Alarm is very loud, quite nice. It serves as a decent deterrent.

A spectacular PTZ camera! I have had HXView security cameras for the purpose of watching critters in the yard. I have the 30x version but this 50x version is so much better. So much more detail, features and speed. It rotates very fast, zooms in/out at a good speed. You can have preset positions to make recalling specific positions simple. There are tracking features that I don't use, but I can see how that could come in very handy. The camera is easy to set up and use. The iPhone app walks you right through setup. Within only a few minutes the camera is active and recording. I can record video on schedules and take snap shots with ease. I use a micro-sd card in the camera so no subscription is needed! Typically, cameras with this level of zoom are very expensive or combine lower optical resolution combined with digital interpolation to create the illusion of zoom. No digital zoom here, all optical! I can zoom in on small birds on the feeders and nearby trees to see their details. We have a squirrel that visits every day and now we can see him up close! The pictures included are mostly at 50X at a distance of 45 feet away so you can see the zooming capability. The birds in the pics are only 2 to 3 inches long so you can imagine how zooming in on a human or larger animal would be. There is one that is at maximum width on a 50 foot wide yard. In addition, customer support is fantastic! I had a question and within a day, I got the answer I needed. I would purchase this again without hesitation!

First the good. As far as day time the camera works great. Clear image, human, animals, and vehicle tracking works great. 50x optical zoom works very well. The bad. IR never would turn on. Only full color worked. During full color the camera would lose the only 3 simple preset positions when set up for human tracking. Had to reset presets every morning. There is no manual for this device either. I have emailed them to see if this is a known issue with this device at night. And IR not working at all. Preset 81 for auto IR , Preset 82 IR on, and Preset 83 IR off. Even the client app only have 3 choices for night view, Infrared, Full Color, and intelligent mode. Only full color shows what it recorded at night until it lost presets. Without full color on you have black screen only. Update. New camera has the same issue. The camera only works during the day. IR doesn't work. The company knows there is an issue. Hey should change the product to day camera only. Note: night is in beta and not fully working at this time. Finial note. I would have given zero stars if it let me. This product has potential, but it isn't a night camera at all.

This is the 4th hxview ptz that I have ordered and used over the past 5 years. The cameras are all still going and running well. I use them to monitor cattle during calving season. Picture is great and zoom is awesome for the price. The app is easy and functional. I have referred them to others and will continue.
