What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing gives a 3K video claim, a separate 5 MP still-resolution value and an Effective Video Resolution of "5" without a unit. It also lists a 110-degree viewing angle alongside 360° monitoring, and states both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Treat these as distinct or unconfirmed details rather than assuming a single resolution, coverage angle or connection method. Verify the camera’s view and required network setup for your installation. The IP66 and waterproof descriptions are listing claims.

Customer feedback reports positive impressions of reliability, responsiveness, picture quality, setup and connectivity. For buyers considering the stated 3K camera and app control, those comments suggest these areas matter in use, but they do not independently verify the camera’s resolution, coverage or outdoor protection. The overall rating distribution is mostly five-star, with a notable one-star share, so experiences are not uniformly positive.
Positive themes
- Customers describe the picture as clear and the camera as responsive.
- Setup and connectivity are described positively, including an account of the app giving step-by-step guidance.
