Review on HAWKRAY Battery Powered WiFi Outdoor Security Camera, 1080P Surveillance Cameras for Home Security System, Night Vision, Motion Detection, 2-Way-Talk, IP65 Weatherproof by Karoly Reddick

Revainrating 4 out of 5

For the price it's great! Photos and a detailed review are attached.

So I'll start with three main parts. Motion detection is good. I really like how efficient it is, it captures just the right amount of movement. I have a swing set on my back porch, especially in Washington it's windy today. The swing continued throughout the night but no warning. BUT on one occasion my grill cover slipped off and slid across the patio; Boom, scared. It obviously picks up anything above that level (dogs, people, etc.). I don't know when else he missed something. The picture quality is good, I would rate it the same as my nest, hello. Good video quality and easy face detection, although I'm very happy with that, the night vision image quality is also good. But there is also a downside: the IR function is not as good as on my main camera. I've attached a screenshot of both for comparison. My nest hello has no problem seeing over my street and then over a few others. However, this chamber gets dark towards the end of my terrace (30 feet) and is not very visible after that. A bit of a shame as it works great and my entire garden is visible during the day instead of at night. That's the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Easy to install, couldn't be simpler, cordless with battery. Tighten to desired location with 3 screws (screws and anchors included) and the whole thing is held together with drawstrings for easy adjustment. It's windy and rainy right now, the camera isn't moving and so far it's holding up well.

Pros
  • Quality workmanship
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
