Spotlight Camera IE20

This latest model replaces a fixed camera. I was looking for something that could move to check for parcels delivered to the back door and could also swivel to take in the rest of the garden. We get foxes, hedgehogs and cats visiting at night , and it drives our dogs crazy. Im looking forward to seeing how youd the night vision is but so far the daytime view is very clear and the camera movement is very smooth and responsive. Installation was so straightforward and the app is good too. Great value, and I am thinking of getting another one for the front of the house.

I have a lot of these, albeit white ones and other ieGeek models but they all have the same problem - installation especially out of easy reach. I have reviewed already but here is my hot tip based on experience!

They can be a nightmare and even dangerous to install - wobbling at the top of a ladder, trying to drill tiny holes in just the right place then trying with one hand to tighten the tiny screws into the impossible to reach holes behind the cowling whilst trying not to drop the camera with they other hand. As for steadying yourself up that ladder.... forget it! The tiny screws often end up having stripped heads because of having to screw them in from an angle into wood that's hardened with age or worse still plugs in stone walls.

So, I don't even try any more! I make up mounts to which I firmly attach the cameras in comfort before screwing the mount in place, using only two human sized screws that can easily be turned with a human sized screwdriver without damage or being a contortionist.

Pics are self explanatory, of course the actual mount will depend on the installation. This one if for under the eaves.

Good quality images,but at night find the sensor sets it off way to much. If in colour mode the light seems to be on more than off.we use infa red mode still good picture.
Set it up to Ethernet cable now but did use wifi at first seemed fine on that just wanted wired to stop drop out. Only had it up for a week and caught some scumbag trying car door handles at four in morning. well worth the money but will need mini SD card, I use 256gig one lasts over a week before re writing over .
Had to buy Ethernet cable and run through wall
Power cable is thin and three meter long, you can buy power transformer extensions if needed. I rean mine in to garage power socket and hid wire.

This is a great camera. It arrived well packaged with everything you need to install it, including a clear and comprehensive instruction manual in well written English. This takes you through the setup process step by step and when combined with the CamHipro app it makes the setup process very quick and easy. I carried out the initial setup using the supplied ethernet cable and then added the wifi connection. Using this method it shouldnt take longer than 5 - 10 mins to setup.

The camera itself looks very well built and is IP66 rated, which I need as the camera is positioned outside. The picture quality is excellent both at night and during the day with good range and clarity, whether in SD or HD, and recordings can be saved to an SD card inside the camera.

I have another security camera which is static and this camera is larger but has the significant benefit of being able to rotate and control the pitch through the app by swiping your finger across the image. It's very responsive and a great feature. As I use the camera outside, the motion detection and auto tracking function are a clever and really useful feature, and you can set the app up to receive a push notification when movement is detected. Apparently, it includes a siren to scare away intruders and two way audio, but I've not tried this yet and the two way audio is not a feature I need, but others might.

Overall, Im very pleased with the camera quality and the functions it includes. The integration with the app works really well and incorporates many features that are useful for my use, so I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in a controllable security camera.

This is the second iGeek camera I have purchased. I have found with iGeek cameras I get reliable connection between the app and the camera compared with other makes of cameras I have owned. Also their customer service is friendly and efficient.

This new IE20 360 security camera is bigger than my previous one but that's because it has the ability to rotate in two planes. When I read that it can rotate 360 I didn't fully believe it, but it can literally see all around itself.

Setting up this camera was a breeze. There is no need to connect the supplied ethernet cable. You simply switch the camera on and then find its wi-fi signal on your phone - then you enter the supplied password and once connected you can supply your home wi-fi network settings (password, etc) to the camera and it's all done! Once you have installed the CamHiPro app on your phone you can see the camera feed and adjust various settings such as quality (HD or SD) and colour or B/W night vision. You can move the camera up and down or left and right by swiping on your phone screen. You can also zoom in.

The image quality in all modes is excellent. I was particularly impressed with the colour night vision. Colours are rendered accurately even when there is hardly any light (see photo).

From the app, you can also enable, individually, the microphone (to hear what the camera hears) and the speaker (to be able to speak to callers, intruders etc)

To use the CamHiPro app on my PC I use BlueStacks 5 Android emulator. This allows me to monitor my cameras on my PC monitor, to save my phone battery.

Really I am completely happy with these iGeek cameras. They work exactly as I expect, without any hassle.
