Great camera product

I am very impressed with the quality of the Barlus underwater camera. As the owner of the Play It Koi carp breeding business, I use this camera to keep track of my prized Koi fish. My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner because a river otter recently visited our carp pond and unfortunately ate a lot of fish. our koi. If I had installed this camera prior to the otter's visit, I could have easily spotted the problem early and fixed it. At least now I can be sure that I will be better protected in the future. A few features I really like about this camera: 1) I was able to set up live streaming over the internet (RSTP) so I could monitor my fish remotely or just stream my underwater camera. 2) I was also able to set up live streaming on my phone so I can check the koi on the go 3) The underwater lighting option really makes my pond glow at night and adds a nice element and allows me to see at night too 4) Customer service has mine exceeded expectations. Any issues I had during the installation were easily resolved, either via email or by having their tech support access my computer remotely to see that I had originally set it up with the wrong IP address . πŸ˜‰ I recommend future buyers of these cameras to accurately measure (measure twice) the amount of cable you need, and then give yourself a few extra feet of cable for maneuvering. I've been running wires under our house and found that an extra 5 feet of wire would come in handy. I was eventually able to get it to work by using some CAT 6, but if I could avoid this problem for a few extra bucks, I certainly would. I will be ordering 2 more cameras here soon!

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
