This camera has the perfect set of features for home or business security system use. Extremely high quality images, the ability to set up controlled zones for motion detection (to reduce false alerts due to the wind), privacy masking and an attractive exterior package. The camera also supports a local micro SD card for recording locally.
I added it to my network and set it up as a standard ONVIF camera on my Tribrid DVR. The camera's configured alerts triggered recordings on the DVR as expected.
Had a little trouble getting the cameras to work at first, but the fault was my own. The NVR needed a firmware update to auto recognize the cameras. Once that was done, it was as easy as plugging in traditional cameras. Amazing quality, good in day or night. Will definitely be buying again for the next two systems I'm building.
These cameras were purchased to replace exsiting ones that had lost the ability to do night vision as the IR function had ceased working. The heat in Arizona does not help the life of electronics that are subjected to the elements.
The last ones lasted a little over 3 years. Hopefully if they are used in milder climates they may last longer.
