VIMTAG PoE Camera, 2.5K/4MP 360° Security Camera Outdoor/Indoor only for PoE Switch/NVR with Spotlight/Night Vision/PTZ/Speaker/2-Way Audio/Phone App/Human/Sound/Motion Detection for Home Security

It has been about two weeks, and I still like this Poe PTZ camera. In fact, I have bought several more. The nice thing is you can set them up in conjunction with other cameras and have them turn to look in a given direction if there is movement in a different spot from where this camera is generally parked (you need a good DVR device to do that—I am using Hiseeu PoE NVR). This camera has turned out to be better than I anticipated. The LED light is also very useful. I have one mounted at the front and back of my house, zoomed in to an area, and if someone walks through that area, it fires the LED spot, which is an added layer of deterrent to potential intruders. When it connects to NVR, it needs to connect to APP first, then turn on the ONVIF function in APP settings and set an administrator password, so that it can connect to any NVR. I give this a five-star rating because I have been using it for 2 weeks with no issues, and the quality is great for the price.

I finally installed this camera and got it set up. I had a little difficulty doing the initial setup as far as connecting to the wifi, but it wasn't so difficult that I didn't just quit trying. It took 3 tries total and it was done. I'm still trying to figure out all of the features like the spotlight feature, but I'm sure I'll have it all down soon. Ive got it installed and the app installed and it's doing it's job. Good buy for me. 😉

Nice camera , BUT......... I use BlueIris software to monitor quite a few cameras around the house. While I can connect this camera to BlueIris, it is RTSP interface ONLY and this interface changes over time, therefore I need to "reconnect" the camera every 12 hours or so. The camera works fine with the Vimtag app so, if this is all you need, fine. But I would warn anyone who uses third party software. You CANNOT use a static http IP address with this camera. I will be keeping the cameras (I bought 2) for monitoring special events but will only be able to use the app.

The camera was not going to meet my current needs and after several days I decided to return it. In the meantime Vimtag customer service reached out to me to see how liked the camera and to see if I had any questions. I told them that aftera thorough tryout I decided to return the camera. Right away customer service was on it and said they would get this done for me right away. To be fair I explained all the steps I had taken and tried and decided it just wasn't going to work in my situation. Immediately they explained they were issuing a full refundand never questioned any further. The camera has some great qualities and produces a perfect image and I told them I am definitely going to consider Vimtag products as my current needs change. The 5 stars is for customer service!

This camera has many features, one of them is following motion when detected. Link this camera with its cloud service and you won't miss a thing. However, I am a bit unsatisfied that It doesn't revolve around the area on its own in idle mode, but that doesn't make a really big difference. I like the camera, their customer support is F A S T, they will get onto your response at speeds you would never know existed (litrlly)

Can not connect to my dvr or the app

Though the capabilities are there and it is probably a steal at under 30 dollars, they advertised it works with NVR and Onvif controls, however there is no web interface, and it requires that you use their proprietary app and connect it to their cloud before you can access the cameras settings and configure it. I tried using a few rtsp URL suggestions and it would not function with my NVR software, and as other customers have stated they could only get it to work after connecting it to the Chinese cloud. It's against my security protocols, I returned the t out of 6 cameras that I purchased in fairness of I actually opened and handled one to discover it wasn't security protocol friendly.

I really like this camera
