ELP 720P Waterproof USB Camera Outdoor Indoor USB Dome Camera Day Night Vision with IR LEDs Home Security Surveillance USB Camera with 3.6mm Lens

Great quality and ease of use for the money!
Bought to keep an eye over my motorcycles on the street after my girlfriends was stolen. Installing it onto and exterior wall was easy, screws and rawl plugs provided are fairly small, but will hold the camera there quite happily, it’s not heavy and it’s certainly not going to get blown off. I’ve set up iSpy, a free CCTV monitoring and recording program and am using it on my main PC at the moment until I can get a cheap dedicated system, with a subscription (about £6 p/m) I can view the camera from my smart phone or any PC remotely, which is fantastic piece of mind. It also means I can check the camera from the comfort of my bed when I hear weird noises in the night.The quality is good, not fantastic, but good, unfortunately I can’t make out registration plates in the targeted area, but it still serves a purpose. The night vision feature seems to work very well, it has a good amount of IR leds that glow dimly when active, the camera will automatically switch between day/night mode, you’ll hear a feint click when it switches, it’s not going to bother you if you have the camera indoors, neither will the lights.The camera came with a generous 5m of cable, which I’ve extended with 2x 10m active USB repeater cables, also from Amazon, allowing me to pull the cables through the attic, so no cables hanging around or cable clipped all the way around the house. It has a really good degree of adjustment, all you need to do is unscrew the bottom ring and you can point the camera in any direction and adjust the shield as well.All in all, it seems to be a really well thought out product, it works right out of the box with an automatic Windows 10 driver install.

Pretty good all-rounder
I wanted something to see what sort of wildlife sneaks about the garden in the early hours and this looked like it might do the job. So far I’ve captured at least two foxes and a family of badgers by night and all manner of squirrels and birds by day so it’s earning its keep.I’ve connected it to a Raspberry Pi 4 running OpenSUSE Leap as the OS and Motion as the motion detection software and it all works really well.It’s only 720p resolution so the picture is merely OK not fantastic but you’re only paying 40 quid or so.One gripe is that the range of the infrared LEDs isn’t brilliant so I can’t see more than a few metres. More LEDs would have made the thing bigger and more expensive, however.The camera comes with a nice long bit of USB cable, too, which is handy.I’ve seen some complaints that it doesn’t work with a Raspberry Pi. I can categorically say it does. I can only imagine that, as the camera draws all its power from the Pi’s USB port, anyone having problems should ensure they have an adequate power supply and check what else is using USB power.I’m probably going to buy another one of these so I can see more of what’s going on when the neighbourhood is asleep…

Elle fonctionne, ce qui est déjà bien, et elle est arrivée neuve :)IR fonctionne la nuit noire, il vous permet de voir votre voiture et un container, le tout placé à 4m.Après, c’est tout noir.La qualité est nulle. Noir et Blanc.Vous pouvez voir l’énorme TEX marqué sur le container, mais pas les lettres plus petites (qui sont qd même très grosses, croyez-moi).La détection mouvement fonctionne bien, mais ne vous servira à rien pour la Police, les visages n’ont aucun détail.L’enregistrement sur PC est OK, j’utilise le prg gratuit iSpy, car leur logiciel recommandé affiche une erreur au lancement. Trois différents téléchargements, trois installés. Aucun fonctionne.Je recommande une énorme lumière avec détection de mouvement pour la nuit.L’image sera en couleur et peut-être de meilleure qualité.La qualité est bonne, sur deux mettre, de jour.* pour le prix.
