Works with Tuya Smart Life and options.

I love these cheap 1080p cameras from the Tuya universe. For reference, I install and maintain Dahua and Hikvision IP camera systems for some remote locations and have spent thousands of dollars on cameras, NVRs and software. For less than $30, one person can do 98% of what I can do in minutes. This is madness! This is a super cheap but very powerful camera. It can't read the license plate, of course, and traffic alerts go off when spiders screech in front of the lens. I'm having the same issues with the latest 8MP wired IP cameras. To watch a dog or children/elderly at home, this camera is great. I like this NGTeco model as it seems to have better overall build quality than some of the others I've tested. The overall stand and form factor is a bit smaller, and everything feels like a well-designed product. My recommendation: get this PTZ camera to see how you will use it in your life. Once you've determined the location you need to monitor, switch to the fixed camera and move it to another location. This camera can track movement, so it follows the courier to his car, but it's better to have a stationary camera that tracks movement in one place and notifies about the application. , cameras, sensors and locks that work under the app. It's not perfect, but it's better than anything else. It's also fully integrated with Alexa, so you can name that camera "Pan Tilt," for example, and then tell your Echo Show 8, "Alexa, show me my Pan Tilt camera." Neato.Just FYI - if you want inexpensive LaView cameras cameras and using the LaView app, you can add that camera to this system using the same QR code. The LaView app has been scaled down in Smart Life. Not to shoot down high-end cameras, but I've provided police with 4K video of clear numbers, images of driver and passenger faces, and video of a parking lot break-up and crime capture, and none of this has helped. This $25 camera could provide the same time/event information as a $25,000 license plate recognition system.

Pros
  • Camera and photo
Cons
  • Exorbitant price
