Brilliant!
We bought the ieGeek 2K indoor camera to keep an eye on things at home, mainly to check in on our son when he’s playing in another room or to see what our cat’s up to while we’re out. It’s honestly been a great little device for peace of mind.The picture quality is really clear, even at night. I was surprised how well the colour night vision worked, it’s not just grainy black and white like some other cameras. We love that it can rotate all around (360°), and the auto-tracking means we don’t have to manually follow movement, it just does it for us, which is a huge plus when your hands are full.The two-way talk is surprisingly clear, and we’ve used it a few times to remind our son (gently!) to tidy up or to say hello to the cat when we’re away. Setup was quick, the app is easy to use, and we didn’t have to sign up for a monthly subscription, which we really appreciate.Overall, it’s been a solid addition to our family setup, reliable, easy to use, and it gives us peace of mind whether we’re in the next room or out for the evening.

What’s it like in the real world?
I have to say that I am very impressed with this camera. I’ve a few other ieGeek cameras for the exterior of my properly but wanted one for inside the house.One thing that impressed me straight away is how the install is a lot more straightforward now than with their older models. It’s simply a case of following the instructions on their app and scanning a QR code on the camera, logging in to your WiFi and you’re good to go.I’ve tried other manufacturers over the years but have always come back to these guys. Their app integration is very good. The speed of connection to the camera when you open the app on your phone/tablet is good. There’s not much point getting an alert and by the the time the app eventually connects, the movement has disappeared.The image quality is very good at being 1080p – not 4K but 4K is only desirable for an outdoor cam which is scanning longer distances. Unless your living room is the size of a banqueting hall, 1080p is more than you need. That leads on to the night vision and again, it is excellent. Keep the settings set at AUTO and the camera accurately determines whether to film in day or infrared mode.The motion sensor is sensitive which, when linked to the pan movements of the unit, produces a recording facility that keeps up with movement within the sensor area. The attached videos show what most cameras struggle with – someone walking across the monitored area transversely and then movement subsequently appearing above or below the viewing area. You’ll see that the video tracks in all four directions speedily so you’re not likely to miss anything.Another thing I should mention is that recording relies on tracking movement – it isn’t looking for a heat signature as well. So for example, should an inanimate object fall across the area being monitored, it’ll be tracked and recorded. I mention this as it means one fantastic feature that ieGeek perhaps hasn’t realised – the camera can be used indoors but for use monitoring both indoors and outside. For example, if it is placed on a windowsill, it can be recording out through the window but can be turned round remotely through the app to monitor inside. This is a fantastic function but it is only made possible through another thing that ieGeek haven’t promoted – the camera can rotate a full 360 degrees which is something I have never come across before. You’re lucky normally to get a maximum sweep of 180 degrees.A final positive is that this is powered via USB. That means theoretically it should be able to be powered from a memory bank. Now I haven’t tested this myself yet so cannot be 100% sure but it seems reasonable to assume that it can. That brings other uses to mind. Monitoring your caravan or another area when you’re away. It’ll need Wi-Fi to send alerts but it’ll still record to SD card if it doesn’t have connection.There are things I’d like to see improved though. First is the phone app. It is quite clunky navigating to and thereafter downloading alert recordings. You get used to it but it’s not intuitive.The second thing is more down to my understanding. A great function the app gives is the ability to draw on the app the areas you want to monitor so that you could exclude the floor area but actively monitor everything above a certain level. What I don’t quite understand is how this works in practice when the camera can pan a full 360 degrees.The last thing is – please ieGeek come out with a desktop computer app and have just the one app for the different cameras you sell. I have to switch between one app for this camera and two other exterior cameras and another app for a final exterior camera.In conclusion it’s a great wee camera and highly recommended.

I bought this ieGeek home security camera along with 2 external ieGeek cameras in order to have eyes in my house as well as out front and back. Setup is very easy. The app lets me see everything from wherever I am, day or night, even when I’m travelling. The picture and sound are crystal clear. There’s a 2-way intercom feature, and the outer cameras have floodlights that I can turn on and off manually or set to automatically turn on when activity is detected. The indoor camera will automatically (and manually) follow activity left and right, up and down. A free cloud account saves any activity caught, and a micro SD card saves longer clips. I had a mechanical problem with the indoor camera, but their Customer Service was spectacular and solved the problem quickly. With such great prices, I plan to buy more as gifts.

I am very impressed with this camera and the ease of setup. The camera was well packed and protected in the box. Everything was included that you need for either tabletop application or for permanent mounting. Incredibly, it also included the USB power adapter. So many items these days do not include the power adapter and you have to get that on your own.The setup was extremely easy. I already had the software installed from another outdoor camera that uses the same software. I just clicked “Add” and the camera was automatically recognized. I didn’t even have to scan the QR code or anything. I simply added my Wi-Fi password and hit Next a few times and it was done – all in about 2 minutes. Note that while I was reviewing the Recording Management menu, it told me that my microSD card was not formatted. I just clicked OK and in less than a minute, it was done.The picture quality is excellent and the pan and tilt features work very smoothly. I would highly recommend this camera.
