I already own the original 1080p version and love it, so was excited to get this upgraded 2k version to get higher quality video. I use it to check up on my cat when I'm not home, and this 2k version will works better for me to find her when she tucks herself away in those corners. I'll pair it with the original to get better coverage of her favorite hiding spots and her food tray. The original was already good; the upgraded resolution on this one makes it even better.
Loveee this baby cam! The app was so easy to connect! The motion sensor is very precise! Much needed.
Using it as a baby monitor, the camera quality is much better than the competition. All competing baby monitors are 1080 which do not give good quality when zoomed in. This camera has 2k video feed so zoom looks much better.
It's 360 camera so no matter how I keep it I can rotate it to check the surroundings.
Was very easy to setup. Just took a minute and then was up and running. Motion detection works well. SD card storage means I don't need to pay for cloud storage. Google home and Alexa setup was very easy and convenient as competitor baby monitors don't have this support for video feed.
Highly recommend the 2k version. Very good company.
Very easy to set up the camera with the switch bot app from iOS store. I can remotely control the camera and choose the angle of capture. Highly recommended
This is a well made and useful internal CCTV camera, useful as a baby or pet monitor or just for general monitoring of rooms. The item has minimal packaging, which is always good from an environmental perspective. It comes with a plug and USB-A to micro cable. Upgrading it to a USB-C connector on the camera would be good, but a positive is that the cable is about 50cm long, so there's no need to place the camera too close to a socket or have unsightly extension cables. The camera comes with a ceiling mount, screws and fittings. It's lightweight so you don't worry that the camera might be too heavy.
The camera is very easy to set up. It comes with a set of very clear instructions. It's important to follow them in order, particularly remembering to remove the protective film over the camera lens. You have to install the SwitchBot app, and if you want to have recorded footage you need to install a memory card, supplied separately. I haven't installed a memory card to give full recording capabilities, but it does still record snapshots of movement in the app for review or deletion. The camera is easily installed on the app, simply connect the camera to your existing home wireless network for viewing on your phone.
It has many features such as night mode (with infra-red LEDs), privacy mode that allows you to quickly shut the camera off (the lens physically drops down, not just the software in the app turning it off). It also has modes to detect movement (and start recording) and also to track movement. The app has selectable features for the level of detection, such as only picking up on people or low/medium/high thresholds for movement.
For remote viewing, the app warns you that you are using cellular data, so you know you're not on WiFi and may be subject to high data usage. The bandwidth rate is shown in the top corner, with SD/HD options as required. Live viewing on a data connection has slight lag, especially when turning the camera around, but being able to view and rotate a camera from 200miles away in mere seconds isn't that bad. The ability to hear through your phone and speak back is also invaluable.
Overall, a high quality camera, good image quality and an app that's got the majority of the main desirables covered. It could be improved by having integral storage (a basic amount, with users able to add a memory card if they want extra), but that isn't a deal breaker.
The SwitchBot security camera comes with clear instructions and was easy to set up and my tech skills are limited. It is controlled via an app which is standard these days so Im used to using them. The field of vision is 360 degrees on the horizontal and 115 degrees vertically providing an ample view of the kitchen and back door where I have set up my camera as this is a more vulnerable area. I was impressed with the night vision, picture quality and sound. In addition, there is two-way talk so you may communicate with a partner, child or dog or anyone in the vicinity. I also like the way it detects the slightest sound or motion. It is attractive and non-intrusive but mostly makes me feel more secure.
I would recommend this product as value for money and of a considered design and does everything I hoped it would achieve.
