High quality, easy to use, cute [Compatible with CamHi or CamHi Pro Apps]

already familiar with similar cameras from another brand. Installation can take a long time and may seem more difficult for beginners. However, it is worth the effort. Do you read the instructions in the enclosed brochure? Be sure to have a magnifying glass handy. As I said, I didn't need to read it, I knew similar cameras. I already had three SV3C external PTZ cameras running in the regular CamHi app. I needed a dome camera that also works with the CamHi app for my living room. . I was very happy to find a JideTech PTZ dome camera that suited my needs and desires. Finding the SD card slot took longer than actually connecting the camera to the existing CamHi app on my smartphone via Wi-Fi. You temporarily connect the camera to the router with the included Ethernet cable, scan the QR code on the camera body and you're done. The rest is just changing the password and renaming the camera. Even adding this JideTech dome camera to my Hip2p client computer application was an easy task. Now I see four cameras on one screen. Actual installation on my living room ceiling: 5 minutes... Well I've already run a power extension cord in my attic that was routed down and hung through a 3/4 inch hole waiting to be connected to a WiFi enabled dome camera to be connected. In fact, before running the power cable in the attic, I did a quick check of the signal strength at the camera's final location. I was blown away by the crisp HD video both day and night. I pointed the camera from my living room ceiling to the kitchen door [approx. 33 feet away] and still got push notifications. This Jidetech WiFi 5MP PTZ Camera can work better with CamHi Pro APP, and even the user manual is based on CamHi Pro APP. But for an experienced person like me, the regular CamHi app is much simpler, easier to understand and use. MP4. I simply download the H265 clips I need for editing to my not-so-complex smartphone, then find them in CamHi's "local downloads" and convert them to MP4 clips on my phone. I then export them to my PC for editing and/or merging with Windows Video Editor or Movie Maker.
