One of the best deals for the money

I think you can't go wrong with these cameras for the money. I have 2 external weatherproof ones and they work great. Video quality is good even at night and the app is pretty reliable. I like them more than SDETER 720P WiFi Wireless HD IP Camera Pan/Tilt Plug/Play Day/Night Vision Home Surveillance Two Way Audio SD Card Slot Alarm Baby Monitor for the same money they are promotional -URLs and settings so you can use them with third-party tools, although the documentation could be better. SDeter only allows you to use it with the app and the app keeps calling China. This was even caused by moving the camera. If you need a camera that records movement, is easy to install, and notifies your phone when there's activity, this is ready to go. If you need more advanced integration, see below: For those interested, these are the URLs that are known to work: BlueIris: When configuring, make sure the ONVIF port is set to 10080 and the IP address you provided is pointing to the camera refers . IP port 81 http://yourip:81 (no spaces) It detects itself. The trick to getting it working is in the path section where /tcp/av0_0 is filled in correctly. I should have guessed that you would need to add the username and password back at the end, so the path should be /tcp/av0_0?user=USERNAME&pwd=PASSWORD. After that, sound and picture worked like clockwork. ISpy: same problem, add username and password at the end of the url after the initial setup and everything works. Faith (MIOS): This system is a great Zwave automation hub, but its camera support is terrible. The only way to get this camera (or most) working is to install the Blue Iris plugin and set up the camera but in Blue Iris and then connect the plugin to it. The only problem is authentication, it doesn't work when the Blue Iris web server requires authentication, even setting a blank password. You only need to configure advanced web server settings for non-LAN authentication, after that you can control and view the camera in Vera. Hope that helps.
