SV3C 5MP POE IP Camera Outdoor, 2 Pack Power Over Ethernet Security Surveillance Cameras with 2-way Audio, Humanoid Detection, RTSP Web Browser View, IP66 Waterproof, Support Max 128G SD Card(No WiFi)

The media could not be loaded. Very good price and much more features comparing to other brands. When I say "features" I mean useful ones, not a marketing BS.For me night vision, motion detection and FTP access are especially valuable. I'm dumping all the "alarm" videos to my personal cloud for free. But it looks like you can sign for a cloud as well. Single wire for LAN/Power (PoE) is also very convenient to place a camera outdoor. Speed/Connectivity is much better than WiFi. Using it with powerline. It is also very useful to record video 7/24 with low video profile. Low profile consumes very limited space due to .265 compression. Will buy again for sure.

The image from this camera is every bit as good as from the C12 at 1/6 the price. Ah, but it lacks the PTZ. For my setup, 2 of these cameras covers my area better than one C12 even without the pan function. Although they work great on Ethernet, I am having trouble getting them to detect wifi networks and, although support has been as good as can be expected from the other side of the world (China), they have been unable to help me get wifi working. May need to return for that reason.

Unboxing of new HX series B06POE-3MP-HX, will follow up with review. Currently purchased about 12 cameras and installed 16 SV3C cameras. Great cameras, survived Michigan winter and Florida heat. None have given up so far. This one has two way communication. Well built, comes with mounting hardware, Ethernet cable (more for setting up), power cord (not needed if power over Ethernet). Will post more later about new app they use and some pictures from camera stream.Update:Camera is easy to setup, with app if you want two way communication which is great. (remember if you have third party cloud streaming you need to port forward through your router and need static IP) Good volume on the camera end, no delay and good clarity. Picture quality is great, never had any issues with any their cameras. There is a SD slot for local storage. I use a third party cloud storage, but that is personal preference. I thinking about getting a NVR to store the footage, SV3C actually offers one. Current firmware has channel one and channel two resolution set. Camera can send emails with attachment and auto snap options which I did not test or use. Overall great camera, all my security cams and the ones I install for family are SV3C.See pictures, unboxing, day time and dark setting, app view, app setup, online/browser setup.

Although there were a number of alternative ways to connect to this camera provided, after a considerable effort of several hours I was unable to get either camera to be seen or found. I currently have Blue Iris configured with cameras from 6 different vendors (so I am not unfamiliar with this type of setup). No matter what I tried I simply could not get any tool or software to discover these cameras. The vendor did not provide an IP address that these were defaulted to, nor did they provide any UID. The equipment was nice enough looking and provided accessories were thoughtful. Also, the vendors web site provided lots of tools to use to discover/configure so I gave them credit for the product and attempt at support. English appears to be a second language so some of the documentation had statements and information that were confusing or ambiguous. Returned to vendor.

If you are going to mount this on a piece of wood trim as I did; get different screws. They are too soft and too long for using in wood, I snapped off two of them, even with pre drilling.The camera install using POE went fine. I used the search tool from the SV3C website since this camera was an HX series. The IP was added to the UC program so I can change the default admin password. I added the camera to my NVR as ONVIF, that went well. The NVR live view did not popup an option for the speaker on this camera, I did not see any options in the NVR that needed to be changed, either. So the speaker is a mystery to me, from what I can tell the NVR software only supports the audio in the NVR itself, not in a POE speakerI added the camera to my android phone iVMS-4500 and checked out the camera features. Night vision and microphone worked; but when I tried to enable the speaker I just get a failure. This appears to be the NVR support, so it looks like I cannot test the speaker in this camera.

the only complaint is that the final fine [viewing aim] adjustment is clunky and not smooth. these do not have a traditional ball&socket, but rather meshing "teeth & notches." I rather prefer the infinite smooth adjustability of a smooth tightened ball-and-socket.

The firmware has been changed dramatically so they will not work with XMeye NVR or with Blue Iris software. I bought 4 of these cameras and they are useless. This is so sad because I have 36 other SV3C cameras that work just fine with my NVRs and Blue Iris. I bought these 4 cameras to replace the 4 up 60 feet in the air that are not easily accessible. The only other issue with these SV3C cameras is the plexiglass in front of the camera eye gets cracks due to the sun and things look milky. So sad...

I really like the "Humanoid Detection" feature of this camera. I had it set up and working with Blue Iris in about 10 minutes. Note: it can be extremely sensitive, so you'll have to adjust it or you'll have constant triggers.The picture is about what you would expect for a 3MP camera. I set the rate down to 10 FPS to conserve the bandwidth on my network, so there is a slight delay, but again, you would expect that.I doubt it is totally rain or snow proof, so I plan to mount it under an eave (look closely at the ad's pictures).Overall a great camera at this price though.I just got it yesterday, but I've had it hooked up since then and I would recommend it.
