LXMIMI WiFi Surveillance Camera, 2-Way Audio Baby Monitor Camera, 1080P HD IR Night Vision WiFi Security Camera, 360° Body Rotational WiFi Dog Camera with Tracking Function

Intially bought this wireless security camera as a pet monitor to see what my dog does while im out at work and so far its done exactly what I need it to. The design is made to look like a small dog which I think is pretty cute, especially when im using it to spy on my dog. Although the product is plastic it still looks quite well made and if im honest, its alot better quality than alot of the other products on the market. I have the camera sitting on a dining table at home and with the rotation of 360 degrees and an elevation of 100 degrees I can monitor the whole room easily, all with the use of my phone. Although this device is only 720p, the picture and video quality is still very good for day and night. During the night, the camera automatically switches to night mode and the infrared lights come on. Storing the images and videos is relatively easy with either the use of a micro sd card that slots into the base or on your mobile phone. So far the only thing ive found to be an issue is the USB power supply cable. The device is currently supplied with a USB cable that gives out 1 amp when really it needs one with 2 amps. This can be easily solved with the purchase of a new cable. Overall the product is very sufficient for my needs to spy on my little dog. At least now I know what he gets up to while im not around the house. For the dog owners that have always been curious as to what their pets get up to, id highly recommend getting one.

I've been quite impressed with this internal room monitoring camera. It can be turned around 360° from your mobile and elevated right up to vertical viewing. I wasn't sure before I bought it if it was actually meant to look a bit like a small dog, but the black 'eyes' you see are not sensors or anything else. They are actually meant to be the dog's eyes! Presumably because this is being marketted as being for pet monitoring as well as baby or anything else. Features: There is screw attachment on the base for attaching to a camera type tripod. Will store images and video on your phone or on a micro SD card in the base. The Infra Red (IR) lights come on and the camera switches to night mode automatically, the image is still very good for a completely dark room. Cons: Images can only be shared from your mobile using WeChat (no WhatsApp or other options) There is a 2 second voice delay either way, speaking into the phone or device and the sound being broadcast. Fine for hearing the baby and the baby hearing your voice, but not for conversations! It comes with a 1A USB mains plug adaptor; it actually needs a 2A supply or the camera won't start up properly. I have uploaded screen shots from the video output with rooms lights on and with the room completely dark, where the camera automatically switches to IR night vision.

I tried two of these cameras and both suffered from the same fault / mistake being that the supplied UK USB power supply was only giving out 1.5 amp rather than the full 2 amps that the camera needs to work so therefore anyone buying this camera in the UK will encounter the same issue unless they use their own 2 amp USB power supply. I thought there was just a general fault with the first camera and then when I tried the second it was the same issue so I just happened to try my phone's USB charger which is actually 2 amp and both camera's worked so I then knew what the issue was and the seller confirmed this would indeed be the case for the entire current UK stock of these cameras. Unfortunately it didn't really get much better even when I did manage to power up the camera.... the camera itself in fairness for a camera of this type is pretty good in terms of image quality and range of motion with the pan and tilt function and the night vision of this camera is actually excellent. HOWEVER..... all the excellent qualities of the camera are let down by two things. The first being there is no web interface available for the camera meaning you can not view the feed or control the camera via a normal computer and the only way you view or interact with the camera is through an smart phone app which isn't particular good and is fairly clunky and just not pleasant to use. I have a considerable number of cheap Chinese made IP CCTV cameras that apart from the dog cosmetic features are identical to this camera. However my existing cameras that while can also be viewed via an app they have a web interface meaning you can view and control the camera via any device with a internet browser so knowing this it makes me question the choice of LXMIMI of removing what is an important feature to force their buyers to use just an app to interface with the camera. I would have given this camera 2 stars but only because of the quality of the video feed and night vision but when I combine the fact that they supply UK customers of which I am one with a power supply that is 0.5 amps under powered and then remove the web interface it really does make this camera frankly nothing more than a expensive toy they have went out of their way to make almost unusable and IP CCTV cameras that are the same but actually work have vastly more security features, functionality, web interface but lacking the cosmetic dog items are half the price .... I can only advise to avoid.
