MECO ELEVERDE WiFi IP Camera 1080P Baby Monitor Indoor Security Camera with Night Vision Sound/Motion Detection 2-Way Audio Cloud Service Home Surveillance System for Baby/Pet/Nanny Monitor

In connection with the development of GSM communication, and most importantly, the spread of smartphones / tablets among the population, the main trend in home (and not only) video surveillance is the use of Wi-Fi technology. First, it becomes cheaper. Secondly, a huge plus of such a decision - you can do without wires, DVRs, installation and without significant costs to quickly receive the interesting picture literally anywhere in the world.Demand creates supply. Recently, a sufficient number of inexpensive Wi-Fi video cameras, which fully meet their tasks, have appeared. Let them be different both in appearance and manufacturer - the principles of work are approximately the same for the whole class.I can share my experience with the MECO ELEVERDE portable model of a fairly well-known brand. The camera has a standard focus, the name corresponds to the maximum diameter of the device.Also included is a USB-mini USB cable, through which the device is powered, by the way, very short; bag with fasteners, as well as a standard 5V, 1A network adapter for devices of this type.There is another interesting button, the purpose of which is to reset the device to the default settings, if something goes wrong.By picking - everything. There is still a brochure with instructions, but printed so dimly that it was easier to get access to the Internet for information.Software not included. However, the manufacturer recommends the de-facto standard program, ClodeEdge, which is easily downloaded for free on the Internet.But there may be nuances. So, at the first of the proposed smartphones CloudEdge did not want to flood, because of its decrepitude, and it works with Android OS only 3.0 and higher. So it goes. Works with iOS too.Installing CloudEdge without problems, just keep in mind that to register you need to know the network password. Then you need to turn on the Wi-Fi camera, wait for confirmation of readiness from it, and then the fun begins: after completing the necessary procedures, bring the smartphone as close as possible to the camera, press the virtual button and enjoy the squeaky tweet issued by the smartphone for about a minute. The camera tries to penetrate into it and decrypt the signal. If successful, it confirms with a human voice and appears in the list of connected. In my case it happened the second time.At the registration stage, the camera is already transmitting the image to the network, and to see the picture, just click on its window in the open program on the smartphone.Next are specific camera settings: date, quality of the transmitted image, video recording mode, image flipping (with ceiling installation), etc.If the mode is on, when motion is detected, the camera sends an alarm message to the smartphone and the host's email. From the smartphone, you can immediately go to the observation of the object, a warning message is sent to the electronics together with a snapshot from the "scene".It should be noted that the e-mail for this service is suitable for any.The great advantage of this video surveillance is that you can simultaneously monitor several cameras installed in different places. And not only a smartphone, but also from a computer / laptop.The main advantages of this model in my opinion are the presence of night illumination, built-in audio channel, the ability to write to a memory card (there is a slot for micro-SD), nice design, miniature device and versatility of its mounting. It is also possible to connect several cameras, intercom, video recorder and much more.What's wrong with the camera?First, the intermittent operation of the camera at dusk. At a certain level of illumination, the built-in elements of the backlight are included. And the battle can go out if it gets a little lighter. It is enough to go against the window, or shake a tree outside the window. The threshold between the backlight triggering levels is so low that the camera goes almost into color music mode). Moreover, this performance is accompanied by a rather loud and unpleasant internal clank - apparently, a switching relay is triggered.Secondly, the alarm mode when motion detection is enabled. The trouble is the same - sudden alarms, when at first sight nothing happens. Most likely, the same light sensor is used as a detector (the camera is budget) and its sensitivity cannot be adjusted. Therefore, in order to avoid exhausting reports of a false alarm, I recommend using this mode only when installing cameras in empty closed rooms.If the task of turning Meco Eleverde into a cheap substitute for the security system is not set, then the camera fully justifies the investment.I recommend to use.

We are really impressed with this camera, it was super easy to set up, we bought to be able to see our home whilst on holiday for a piece of mind, but primarily because we set it up in conservatory to be able to see our dog who is outdoor dog and lives in our garden (don't worry we have a dog walker taking care of her whilst we are on holiday :)). Yeah, very happy with our purchase!

Love this brand in camera, really clear view and clear sound although there can done times be a delay

Use this is the house as extra security. Very easy to set up and use and has loads of great features. Definitely worth it.

I had a different camera but broke so brought this 1,it’s excellent easy to set up has great pic quality &the night vision is excellent 👍.

This is the worst product I have ever bought. I returned it because once the app was updated it rendered the product completely unusable and would sporadically work. It wouldn’t register the sd card. This is cheap Chinese rubbish and not worth the current price. Get a major brand and avoid this!

Good quality for the price better than any baby monitors for the price.

Today, I caught the cameras LED light pinging on and being viewed online by somewhere / someone else. This app connects to some random chinese company, with no english translation. Binned.GO ELSEWHERE.
