Topcony 360° Human Detection Security Camera Outdoor, Intelligent Auto Track CCTV Camera Wireless WiFi PTZ 1080P Color Night Vision,IP66,2-way Audio, Support Smartphone/PC/ONVIF/NVR

I purchased this camera to replace another PTZ camera, which did not have humanoid detection.It feels well made and was easy to set up using a network cable plugged into my router initially, before adding it to my WiFi. What I thought was great is that it makes you change the default admin password as part of the set up process, great for security!This new one is much better than my previous camera as I am getting no false alarms from moving rain, shadows and swirling leaves on the driveway. The picture is clear and sharp and the humanoid tracking works very well as long as the person is walking at a normal walking pace. I have made several set points and the tracking will go back to the last set one after it has finished tracking.Although it’s the same 1080p quality as my old camera, the snapshot’s received in the notifications seem just that little bit better quality as is the overall video image quality.It has a colour night vision option, but I am using infra red as I don’t want the bright white lights shining on my neighbours windows. They are very bright which is good as it can act as a security light if needed.The only thing I would like is the ability to restrict where the humanoid detection ‘detects’, but I think that is an app issue and not an issue with the camera.Overall a great value camera.

The media could not be loaded. I decided to take a chance on this camera to replace my old static exterior one as it has night vision, the pan/tilt that I want and most importantly for me, the ability to record video locally. Opening the box, all the essentials that I would need seemed to be present including fixing tools, long power cable, manual and short but welcome ethernet cable. The quality and construction of the camera appears good, being made from sturdy matte white plastic which has no bend or flex, should be durable!Setup can be done by the CamHi app, but me being a geek I went via the built-in webserver, which hosts the important WIFI configuration page. The camera IP can be found easily for those able to access their routers. The ability to control the camera is embedded into the device webpage, with plenty of configuration options for those suitably minded. I have included a short video where I display most of the configuration options available. Notable features include h265 video, DDNS, ONVIF, FTP storage and email notification. The image quality is clear and crisp for a 2mp camera and audio pickup seems to be very sensitive. Motion tracking seems to work accurately and intelligently, albeit a little slow, night vision also works great. I am pleasantly surprised with the features and value of this camera and very happy with this purchase.

The Camera was easy to install and set up and the picture quality is good. The angle of view can be controlled remotely as can the focus and zoom. I do not own a smart phone and will use via this via WiFi with a windows app so this review is entirely PC related. When using WiFi it is important to read the instructions first. The camera has to be hard wired to the network in order to set the WiFi up. The interface is relatively intuitive and it does not take long to set up. If you get stuck the email Topcony service help is usually quick and effective. They have the facility for remote management should it become necessary. In my experience the only thing that needs improvement is the tracking. It is slow. The camera has difficulty keeping up with a fast walker.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve had a couple of these types of CCTV and this new one is an absolute bargain and packed with useful features. It’s got all the standard stuff plus 360 degree viewing and it can be pointed downwards underneath the camera which some cameras can’t. The image and video playback and download (to my iPhone) is simple as is the installation of the micro SD card via a little rubber window as opposed to some cameras that have a fiddly flap needing a tiny screwdriver.What I think is really marvellous is the ‘Intelligent’ mode of night vision. With this switched on via the easy access menu, when the camera detects movement it switches on a light so that the subject can be illuminated and you get colour night vision. Not only that but the humanoid recognition feature means the camera doesn’t detect small animals such as dogs or foxes and only activates when a person is in view as can be seen by the video I’ve posted with this review.All in all I think this is a fantastic camera. With a standard PIR security light costing around £20 this camera is a must-have, and all you do is plug it in and away you go.Highly recommended.
