Question: How is this camera powered? It is battery powered or does it require AC Power or PoE? I am not seeing that being addressed.
Document: I have this camera as part of my Vivint (alarm.com) installation and it is a great, easy to install camera. I am looking to purchase more because of how easy it is to add additional cameras. Only thing I don't like is the price...
This camera is OK. Very easy to set up if you're not an idiot. Must have an alarm company that can walk you through it, and Livewatch was great. I turned off the night vision because I have it in a window where it is not flat to the glass, and when I turn on night vision all I see is the reflection of the led lights.
According to the specs, this camera is supposed to work with systems other than Alarm.comWell GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.About the ONLY thing I can do, is get it to see an IP address. I can't connect into that IP, can't access the camera and there IS NO DOCS on this camera besides "log into your alarm.com account"This leads me to say that, you can't use this camera with ANYTHING but Alarm.com
It ended up being a major project. I told Alarm.com about the issues they said to tell my vendor which was SafeMart and they said they would tell Alarm.com but SafeMart was not helpful. They said the device has a backup battery (it does not). They (rep named Greg I think?) said they would look into my issues and get back the following day.
The monitoring security service I use, uses Alarm.com for their web and iPhone interfaces. Alarm.com does appear to be the best in that its better than others but no where near as good as it could be. There were a lot of setup issues. They didn't mention it needed to be plugged in to power so assumed it would work off of batteries like all the sensors. Also to setup you need an ethernet cable not provided unless you use a router with WPS.
Sometimes restarting the app helps, sometimes unplugging and replugging the camera works. We have two of these and both are equally flaky. Also other than unplugging there is no way to have the camera turned off when your at home. Alarm.com already has geofencing meaning they know when your home or not, or they could simply have an option that says disable camera feed when the alarm isn't enabled but no such option and alarm.com says they dont have plans for this feature yet.
A lot better than the indoor one I had with no night vision. That one stunk. This one can still make out shapes in the dark but you can't see faces well. Everything is black and white. I will attach a video soon.
So far these cameras seem to be working well. I replaced Dropcam cameras since these work with my security system. They are, however, quite a bit larger than the Dropcam's. The picture quality seems good. There are many features that can be accessed through the alarm.com website.
And never got back to me. I figured since I knew more about the product than they did they wouldn't be of any help anyway and once again Alarm.com won't help since they say you have to go to your vendor. Everyonce in a while if I'm a couple feet a way and do jumping jacks it detects motion for a second.
This appliance is the most finicky thing you can buy. I gone through 2 of these and the moment these things take the tiniest knock or jarr, you can kiss the wireless capability goodbye. And don't forget that support for it is practically non-existent.It's great when it does work, but its not built with the quality I would expect at the pricepoint they are set at...
