2-Cam Kit 2K Wireless Security Camera System with 180-Day Battery Life, AI Human Detection, Clear Night Vision, IP66 Weatherproof (EU Plug)
SKU: GW50.0046EU
Honest review here.Does not allow to turn off motion detection & or schedule on off times.... so it alerts non stop.CONSI wanted to love this and I do like this brand... but unfortunately this is ideal only for watching a baby live... if that. The problem I see with it is you cannot turn off the motion detection or put it on a timer (like night time only) ... so it alerts you non stop when it's on your phone... The only way for it to work is turning on and off the app notifications in settings...which I don't find convenient or worth it daily. I would use it for a week if I am out of town but that seems pointless then.On top of that when they are on the batteries drain catching all the motion detection in the house ...so it's like a double negative. Have to charge more often b/c it is constantly catching motion during day time. I really need it for when I am not home or sleeping (but taking the time to turn the app notifications on and off seems unrealistic and counter productive to having a system that works properly).NOTE: I have had this system before (2 years old) and that camera did allow for me to switch it on and off easily which was awesome. There is a disclaimer on the app that says it depends on the camera you have .... that allows that feature to work. Not sure why would even make a camera that does allow that change.You also have to buy storage space to have play back... which is annoying.PROSEasy to connect to the base station and wifi.Wireless communication and access thru app is great.Great 2k resolution and clear viewing.Great two way talk audio.IP67 weatherproof so can be used outdoors.Completely wireless but does require charging every 14 days.

Very good video quality, easy setup. Really like that the base station connects to network via Ethernet, so that I can turnoff Wifi wireless signal when we are away and still have access to view cameras.Only issue I have is, how to buy the add on cameras. The base station has the option to add up to 4 cameras, but I can not find the individual N20 cameras for sale on Amazon.One improvement I would like to see to the software is a quick access button to toggle off/on the motion detection. So the messages don't fill up with detection alerts when we are outside. Right now you have to navigate though the settings menu to turn off the PIR to stop filling the message/notification list with unnecessary messages.

I'm reviewing the dual camera system with the base station. There was no memory card that was included with the system but I was able to successfully use a 128GB Samsung micro sd card in the base station. The system is capable of handling up to 4 cameras but for the time being, I'm just using the two that were supplied with the system.The template that is included in the box was easy to use and I was able to drill into the side of the house for one of the cameras and another into a tree without any difficulties. The cameras are about 30 feet away from the base station and I have not had any connectivity issues with them.Charging the cameras was painless and easy. So far it seems that the battery has only gone down slightly over the past 5 days with roughly 25 detections per camera per day. The ability to use the app on my iPhone to view these cameras is nice! Previous to this I have also bought the two package of the moving indoor camera which had the 32GB cards included inside them. Those do not require this basestation.Overall, I feel that this is a good system and the alerting has been manageable and not obtrusive where the cameras are positioned. I will be attempting to change where they are pointed to reduce the amount of alerts. Quite a feature rich device and had all of the features that I was looking for.

Easy set up. From mounting the camera, to installing the cameras system mounts, process took less then an hour. User friendly.

The night vision is surprisingly good for a set at this price and the battery life is pretty good. The cameras have been up there for about a month and still shows >90% battery life. I had a few minor issues initially but they're not even worth mentioning as customer service has been great and everything is resolved. Definitely recommend purchasing.

This is a great security camera option for those who doesn't want to drill holes in the walls for wires.It comes with 2 cameras that has rechargeable batteries, which can be charged using USB-C cable.The battery supposed to last up to 270 days, which is pretty impressive but I'm sure it will be shorter if it constantly detects motions all day long. Ideally this type of camera is good for places where there should not be any motion other than potential intruders.The setting up the camera with the free app for my iPhone was pretty straight forward. You do have to sign up and create a free account in order to use the app and camera.By default, it asks you to connect to your router using ethernet cable but there's also an option to connect via wireless, which is what I did. I always use GUEST wireless SSID access point for anything that needs my home wireless access.After I successfully setup the app, I was playing around with the camera in my hand and immediately received few notifications about motion and human detection then a loud alarm went off few times. It turns out that it has a Tamper Alarm, which is great since alarm will go off if intruder tries to turn off or turn the camera around. The Tamper Alarm can be disabled from the setting in the app.The video quality was impressive and the app is very intuitive. It shows the battery level as well as wireless signal strength. The base station is what connects to your wireless and has the microSD card for video recording. The 2 cordless cameras communicate with the base station so they will work fine as long as they are close to the base station.You have the option to purchase the subscription to store the video recordings in the cloud but I don't think this is needed since all recordings will be in the base station, which is inside your house so even if the camera is tampered, they can't get to the recorded video files unless they break into the house. Hopefully, you will get the notification when it detects the intruders and take action to scare them off.The cordless feature of this security camera is the main attraction for me. I can place this cameras in different places and move them around as needed. I don't like to have security camera permanently mounted since it makes it appear like I have a reason to keep intruders out but I do want to set up it up when I'm going out of town or vacation since that's when I need it the most.Overall, I'm very happy with it and it's well designed in both hardware and software app. 5 out of 5 stars!

Recently, both of my neighbors' cars have been broken into and they stole everything they could in their cars, including chump changes, to fishing gears, sunglasses, etc... It's getting pretty ridiculous since the cops couldn't do anything. My front door and front yard camera caught them in the act, but it was way too far to see anything clearly or get a good read of the thieves' license plate... Thus, the reason I got this camera set. Both cameras have built-in battery and it last pretty long on a full charge. I have them up for almost a month, and battery is at around 85% right now. It's very small, very compact and white so they blend in well in my tree (where I attached these cameras on the tree trunk near my front gate, so I can have better video footage of the street and side walk in front of my house). I also like this setup with a central hub, because the captured videos and photos are stored on the micro SD card on the hub (which is sitting inside my house), in case thieves spot the cameras and trying to steal the camera, I can still have the footage to give to authority or insurance claims. I have the central hub sitting inside my house, which is about 100 feet away from the cameras, and the signal quality is at around 60%, which is pretty stable to ensure no losses in captured video/photo transferring. The phone app also notifies me anytime it detects a motion and send me a snapshot when motion was detected. It works very well so far. Hopefully, next time something happens in front of my house, I can get a clearer footage to provide to authority.
