4 PTZ Camera Security Set

When I first bout my xmarto cameras back in 2015, it was only a 4 camera system and those cameras did actually reach 1000ft. I had 4 cameras at my house and 4 cameras 1000ft away at my pond. But the problem I had was I had to switch from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2 to see the different cameras. When I seen they came out with a 8 camera system that was suppose to work better, I wanted that so I could see all 8 cameras on one HDMI cable and not have to switch back and forth, I bought more than one and bout bigger antennas and barely got 200ft. But every camera system they made after that you could no longer detach the antenna and add something bigger so I didn't want to waste my money getting any thing newer. The only thing about these that got my attention was the wifi 6 I knew it was a better wifi connection so I figured Id try them. I have to say I am impressed. I get a little better range than the others but I dont need the long expensive cable and bigger antennas to get a decent signal, I was able to take all that down. So far the longest range camera I am able to try is 230ft and Im getting 2 bars on that. It never cuts off ...the signal is constant. I have a 2 story brick house and im getting signals all around the house, the ptz movement works well on all of them, the audio and speaker works well on all of them. The only thing is they get blurry if there is not enough light. If you connect near a night light and turn off infrared you will see good at night. Or if you do not have a night light and want to see further in dark and it be more clear you need to buy a infrared light to put next to it to light up the area more, again the more light you have the more clear the image will be at night. In a dark area with a good infrared light pointing in same direction as camera I can see about 200ft out, its a little blurry but I know when something is out there moving, again the more light you have the better and further you can see. The human or animal detection works ok, I have most of that turned off but I did have it on for my cows, it followed them some when they got close not the best and not something I use or need. I do wish the antenna on nvr was bigger but I have to say with 10 cameras surrounding a 2 story brick house I get pretty decent signal. Def worth getting, I wish they actually went over 1000 ft like they say but they only happens with the 4 camera system in 2015. Hopefully they come out with something new that does go that far so I can cover my whole property of 7 acres. But for around the house, they are good enough. Not once have they cut off from poor signal even when there is only one or 2 bars it still shows smooth video no skipping around or cutting on and off so they are worth it. It just doesn't go 1300ft, they need to make some that does and actually make a test video proving it goes that far before we waste our money, but for this system..for around the house and less than 300ft they work good

Love my Wi-Fi cameras, work perfectly no problem is couple cameras once in awhile the Wi-Fi will disconnect and for days it will just not connect back and then it comes back on but they're still good quality all the other ones out of 10 still work real good. Night time quality love it, daytime quality is perfect too on it, auto tracking works awesome, human detection works perfectly, The mics on them I can hear people two blocks down the street talking, easy to use easy to set up, color is accuracy is very good, picture quality is real good

I purchased the xmartO 10X Zoom Security Camera system expecting high performance based on the specs (10× zoom, auto-tracking, indoor/outdoor) — unfortunately, my experience has been quite disappointing. What’s not working / where it falls short: The WiFi connectivity is inconsistent. Even though the system claims long-range wireless support, in my setup the camera struggled to maintain a solid connection. Walls and interference significantly degrade the performance. (The manufacturer even admits “Walls & WiFi interference will cut the distance.”) XMARTO HOME SECURITY +1 The “10X zoom” spec sounds great but in real-world use the clarity at those zoom levels is poor unless lighting is perfect and the subject is relatively close. The dual-lens approach may be technically 10×, but image quality suffers when you try to zoom into finer detail. The companion app and configuration experience were frustrating. Many functions like auto-tracking, preset “home points”, and motion triggering required manual tinkering — it wasn’t plug-and-play as advertised. For example, you actually have to go into settings and enable “Motion Tracking”. XMARTO HOME SECURITY The power / placement logistics are limiting. Despite being marketed as an outdoor capable system, you still need a stable power source and good wireless signal — so mounting options are constrained. Some reviews note that you’ll need to be near power and good WiFi, or performance drops. Electronikz +1 Support and documentation feel weak. When encountering problems, I found finding responsive help or clear instructions to be tedious. Some user reviews echo this frustration with non-intuitive setup and less than stellar manufacturer support. Ubuy Bahrain +1 In short: If you’re buying this believing it will just work with minimal effort and give flawless high-zoom crystal clarity at long range, you’ll likely be disappointed. It can function and provide a decent value, but only under near-ideal conditions (good WiFi, close subject, well-lit) and with some setup patience. Recommendation: Unless you’re comfortable with tech tinkering and mounting in a location with very strong WiFi & power access, I’d advise looking at a more mainstream brand with better support and more consistent performance. This one has promise on paper, but in practice it didn’t live up for me.

I install CCTV as a large part of my job, I’d say this is one of the better residential ones on the market, and you can definitely not beat the quality for the price. I blocked out 5 hours on a Saturday to install the system, it took me an hour and that was only because it was raining, otherwise much quicker. I recommend 1st plugging in the HDR and hook it up to a TV or computer monitor and then installing the cameras I came in to check each one as I installed them. PTZ and all the functions are super acurate. Overall this is a great system and in my location there’s not really obstructions so I was able to place the cameras beyond the recommendations.

Pro: good picture quality on pan tilt and zoom camera, no network cabling needed, excellent wireless range Cons: powered cameras do not seem to be made for outdoor use, human body detection is poor (Side note – I have used and installed other DVR/NVR cameras and systems including DPro, Hikvision, and others) I liked this system because it has its own Wireless camera network. When dealing with a large multi building facility, running wires is impossible. You can wire the NVR to your backbone switch or it can be run wirelessly and then the cameras connect to the wireless network on the NVR not your local WiFi. The range, without the repeater, is very impressive. A repeater is available and easily connects to the NVR without manual configuration. There are wireless/solar cameras that you can get for this NVR, but I just got the wireless ones that require line power. The cameras have a changeable wall/ceiling mount which is nice, but this part of the product could use some revision. When you remove the mount and put it on a wall, the camera and mount top both have open areas to collect water. This is problematic in the winter if water freezes in there as it will break the camera enclosure. I used some of that waterproof “flex-tape” to try to cover over it. Time will tell if that is successful. On normal outdoor cameras, the wire is routed back into the mount and the camera is usually mounted on a jbox. This keeps the wires inside where they are not exposed to weather and cannot be cut. These wires are draped below the camera and then have to be run through some type of penetration so that the connections are inside the building. This camera has a compound cable with an ethernet jack and power connector, so all of those need to be protected. The cable is pretty short, and you need to be sure to have a drip loop on the cable. For a shed with just siding and no insulation or finished wall thickness, I purchased these little electrical fittings from Ace Hardware. I had to ream the inside of one of the pieces to be able to push the ethernet jack through. I then mounted the fitting on the siding tightened it down. Inside the building, I could plug in the power cord and run to an outlet. Doing this on a building that has a 4” or 6” insulated wall is nearly impossible as the cord is very short. I ended up putting a jbox in the wall behind where the camera was mounted. To configure the NVR and cameras, you will need a computer monitor with either an HDMI or standard VGA 15 pin connector and a USB mouse. The local UI is a little clunky when you have to type on the screen computer with your mouse, but for most drop-down fields, it is not difficult and does not take too much time. It finds the cameras instantly without any effort. That said, configuration has some bugs. I tried taking the NVR off DHCP and setting it to a static IP outside the DHCP range. No sequence of setting, saving, and rebooting could get it to change. I gave up and left it on the assigned IP, though I did still disable DHCP. Since it seems to always come up on that same IP, I left it there. The reason that the static IP is important is that I then enabled DDNS. I started with a free name from No-IP, put in the settings and verified it worked. I then contacted my ISP (since I have a managed router) and got port forwarding enabled for port 80 to go to that IP. Once I confirmed it worked, I purchased the DDNS from No-IP. I did try another DDNS (one that was on the drop down, but I don’t remember which) and could not get it to work. I can now use my browser and go to the NVR configuration when not on site. From a security standpoint, I am a little nervous about that, but I did put in a firewall so the NVR is not near anything else. The browser-based configuration is easy, but like the local configuration, does not always work. When asking tech support, they told me not to use the browser-based configuration. Some of the configuration items are counter intuitive, and the names of them don’t make much sense, and there is not much of a manual that explains anything beyond telling you the label on the checkbox on the screen. Remote configuration is one of the primary reasons that I would buy an NVR system, though, so I keep trying. I also set up the PC app and the Android app. The android app is probably the easiest. It installs quickly and did allow me to have several different people create their own accounts and still get access to the camera system. The iPhone app seems to work well, too. The apps are very capable for viewing the cameras live and even has the pan-tilt-zoom ability for those cameras. The app can also get alarms on human body detection. This feature does not work very well. It triggers on everything. I lowered the sensitivity to lowest, and changed it so that it had to see movement for more than 5 seconds. I was still getting hundreds of alarms a day. Next, I removed all areas in the view that had leaves (no more pan and tilting). That helped a lot. I got down to a couple dozen alarms a day. It still seems to trigger on the movement of shadows on the ground from the trees on sunny and windy days and I have not been able to eliminate that. It definitely finds vehicles, humans, and lots of wildlife which I don’t mind at all. I am told there is a firmware update. I have not tried to do that yet, so I cannot tell you how difficult it is and whether it helps any of my issues. The PC app can be used to download the videos from the trigger events along with the time-based videos. Doing it remotely is slow, but I have slow connections on both ends, so that is probably unrelated. You do need to go into the configuration in the app and change where it saves the videos though. The default is in a protected location on your computer hard drive so access to that will be denied. Change it over to “My Documents” or “My videos” and you will be fine.

own four, easy install and the app is great, I recommend this camera, WIFl is great, Zoom in is incredible.Good price for your money,

Overall the Cameras and their resolution are great, even at night. The AI tracking is not as good as advertised, we have noticed they dont really track at all. My main gripe on these is the install. The screws they come with I think are seceretly made of paper mache, the heads stripped just from the resistance of the plastic mount of the camera. Also the power supplies that come for each of the cameras are only rated for Indoor Use, yet its for an Outdoor Camera. I wound up spending around another 100 bucks on proper mounting screws and Outdoor Power supplies my installer got from Grainger. Said he sees it all the time and he wont install them anymore with the crappy black block indoor plugs as they fail within a month! Amazed they can get away with it, but this was the second set we ordered after he wouldnt install the first one for the same reason, so be aware!!!

Installing the cameras at spots most convenient was not difficult. Since the cameras only need a power hookup to send wireless data to the receiver/recording unit only a two-wire power line was needed once the cameras were secured in place and most lines just needed about ten to twelve feet to be connected to their power source for operation. The cameras give exceptional clarity of picture as seen on the monitor connected to the recording unit. The images during the day and night are very helpful at the station when there may be someone on the premises or near perimeters it makes it easier to give information to others as to time and location of various incidents and these can be snapshot photos or video clips to proper authorities. In power blackout in the area before backup generators can come online the recorder and cameras do function just a little after loss and pick up rather quickly when power is restored. This camera system is useful in setting up a quick temporary unit if needed without the bother of running cables and also serves as a permanent unit with its 30-day storage ability it is convenient to run through logs without having to save data right away and also saves time to look for data on saved logs transferred to other permanent data storage equipment. They work well in varying climate situations. They also are visible and do in most cases keep people from wanting to linger or loiter around the premises without having business on the property. Well, what I am trying to convey is that the system is a good deal and works well beyond expectations so far and has been very handy to have as a tool to show people various things.

Excelente producto muy satisfecho

Worked straight out of the box like it said. Images adequate for domestic use., very happy with it.

Nach dem Auspacken auf dem Tisch funktionierte alles tadellos. Nach der Montage der Kameras war es dann aber mit der Freude vorbei.. Bereits nach wenigen Metern ohne Zwischenwände war eine Funktion nicht mehr gegeben. Ausführliche Beschreibung Fehlanzeige, Frage an Amazon Erwartungsgemäß ebenso Fehlanzeige. Die Programmierung ist mit der mitgelieferten Beschreibung grade noch machbar, aber Fragen wie z.B. für welchen Zweck ist der Netzwerkanschluß an der Kamera ist , kann man die Kameras auch über ein LAN verbinden wird nicht beantwortet. Aus diesem Grund ist die Anlage nur brauchbar wenn sich alle Teile möglichst in einem Raum befinden. Dazu kann man wesentlich kostengünstiger kabelgebundene Kameras nutzen. Daher 0 Punkte auf alles hauptsächlich auf die Dokumentation 1 Stern nur weil ich sonst nicht abschicken kann

Not good as described .
