10X Zoom Dual Lens PTZ Home Security Camera | 2K Auto Tracking HD Wireless PTZ Home Security System for Indoor Outdoor, Motion Detection, 24/7 Surveillance, 2-Way Audio

When I first bout my xmarto cameras back in 2015, it was only a 4 camera system and those cameras did actually reach 1000ft. I had 4 cameras at my house and 4 cameras 1000ft away at my pond. But the problem I had was I had to switch from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2 to see the different cameras. When I seen they came out with a 8 camera system that was suppose to work better, I wanted that so I could see all 8 cameras on one HDMI cable and not have to switch back and forth, I bought more than one and bout bigger antennas and barely got 200ft. But every camera system they made after that you could no longer detach the antenna and add something bigger so I didn't want to waste my money getting any thing newer. The only thing about these that got my attention was the wifi 6 I knew it was a better wifi connection so I figured Id try them. I have to say I am impressed. I get a little better range than the others but I dont need the long expensive cable and bigger antennas to get a decent signal, I was able to take all that down. So far the longest range camera I am able to try is 230ft and Im getting 2 bars on that. It never cuts off ...the signal is constant. I have a 2 story brick house and im getting signals all around the house, the ptz movement works well on all of them, the audio and speaker works well on all of them. The only thing is they get blurry if there is not enough light. If you connect near a night light and turn off infrared you will see good at night. Or if you do not have a night light and want to see further in dark and it be more clear you need to buy a infrared light to put next to it to light up the area more, again the more light you have the more clear the image will be at night. In a dark area with a good infrared light pointing in same direction as camera I can see about 200ft out, its a little blurry but I know when something is out there moving, again the more light you have the better and further you can see. The human or animal detection works ok, I have most of that turned off but I did have it on for my cows, it followed them some when they got close not the best and not something I use or need. I do wish the antenna on nvr was bigger but I have to say with 10 cameras surrounding a 2 story brick house I get pretty decent signal. Def worth getting, I wish they actually went over 1000 ft like they say but they only happens with the 4 camera system in 2015. Hopefully they come out with something new that does go that far so I can cover my whole property of 7 acres. But for around the house, they are good enough. Not once have they cut off from poor signal even when there is only one or 2 bars it still shows smooth video no skipping around or cutting on and off so they are worth it. It just doesn't go 1300ft, they need to make some that does and actually make a test video proving it goes that far before we waste our money, but for this system..for around the house and less than 300ft they work good

Installing the cameras at spots most convenient was not difficult. Since the cameras only need a power hookup to send wireless data to the receiver/recording unit only a two-wire power line was needed once the cameras were secured in place and most lines just needed about ten to twelve feet to be connected to their power source for operation. The cameras give exceptional clarity of picture as seen on the monitor connected to the recording unit. The images during the day and night are very helpful at the station when there may be someone on the premises or near perimeters it makes it easier to give information to others as to time and location of various incidents and these can be snapshot photos or video clips to proper authorities. In power blackout in the area before backup generators can come online the recorder and cameras do function just a little after loss and pick up rather quickly when power is restored. This camera system is useful in setting up a quick temporary unit if needed without the bother of running cables and also serves as a permanent unit with its 30-day storage ability it is convenient to run through logs without having to save data right away and also saves time to look for data on saved logs transferred to other permanent data storage equipment. They work well in varying climate situations. They also are visible and do in most cases keep people from wanting to linger or loiter around the premises without having business on the property. Well, what I am trying to convey is that the system is a good deal and works well beyond expectations so far and has been very handy to have as a tool to show people various things.

The previous cameras I brought of this model had a pig tail three white wires. This one I recieved only had one. The power wire. This made it very difficult for my system to connect to my XmartO DVR. As a matter of fact, it would not detect it and it didn't connect. I therefore returned it today. I would usually simply connect to cameras via the ethernet port wire of the camera to my DVR and it was very simple. I ordered it because Amazon stated that I had ordered this camera two times previously. I took their word and ordered another one because these are some excellent cameras and I wanted another one. Upon further research, I come to realize that this is not the exact same camera that I ordered previously. The previous camera I order was model DT 3034. The third picture posted above. This camera is model number DY 3034. I am not sure exactly what the difference between the two, besides this model DY 3034 only has 1 wire and It looks like a double lens. Anyways ... I thought I would just put this out there for you all to know exactly what you are getting and it is not the same camera as the DT 3034.

So far so good. Personally, I find this PTZ camera is working actually quite good for my need at a very competitive price point. I have not had other previous experiences in PTZ cameras so would just give my initial hands on impression with this particular model. The quality of the picture and video is clear and very acceptable, the housing is made of aluminum so I would expect better longevity for outside applications. The XmartO App and the initial camera setup are simple and straightforward too. For comparison, I downloaded and played with some other generic phone apps and found that it also works with TinyCam, IP Cam Viewer, Onvif IP Cam as well, but I'd still prefer the original XmartO app for its simplicity and full integration with this camera (PTZ etc...). On the other hand, I cannot find any user guide or relevant information to better understand and to use the App. I am still poking around to learn how to setup alerts and send alerts with the App. At this point, it seems that the App is only capable of sending notifications alerts to the phones that have the App installed but have not figured out the option to send/forward alerts to email addresses for example, I am afraid that this feature is just not available... I also would like to have the ability to scroll through a repository of alerts logs, so that I can select a specific one at a specific date time to review the corresponding video. This option might be available but I haven't find out a way to access my alerts logs yet as there are nothing recorded in the MSG box tab where the logs should be logically... Will further update my review as I play and learn more with this camera...

I install CCTV as a large part of my job, I’d say this is one of the better residential ones on the market, and you can definitely not beat the quality for the price. I blocked out 5 hours on a Saturday to install the system, it took me an hour and that was only because it was raining, otherwise much quicker. I recommend 1st plugging in the HDR and hook it up to a TV or computer monitor and then installing the cameras I came in to check each one as I installed them. PTZ and all the functions are super acurate. Overall this is a great system and in my location there’s not really obstructions so I was able to place the cameras beyond the recommendations.

So far, and it's only been a couple of days since I installed this camera, everything is OK. Plugged it in, in the house next to the NVR and added the camera to my system, then mounted it outside, under an eve. Is working fine. I tested the PTZ and it is working also. I do not have notification on as I have six cameras and don't need to hear any of that, we have a monitor and can watch everything from the family room. I checked with the app that I have and it shows up there also. I did not put a SD card in the camera as the NVR has storage of a 4 TB hard disc. I bought the other camera in the system a few years ago and when going to purchase again, they were no longer available but this on showed up and the price was right! I had no problems connecting.

This unit is the second one i have purchased and the hard drive in this one was defective, they asked us to buy a new hard drive and they would pay for it. It did end up working after some trouble shooting with the new hard drive. They did cover the cost of the hard drive. These Cameras work great and are a great alternative spending thousands on an ADT system.

Connects easily to their wifi6 NVR. Operation is good, picture is good. Could use some more features for the alarm and light setting but the basics cover most situations

Not good as described .
