Could be a great camera for you!
First off, as a disclaimer, I have owned a few other Zumimall cameras before and have had great experiences with all of them.The other cameras by Zumimall that I've owned have been battery powered. I say that because this is my first corded camera ever. This is one of the bigger pros and cons about this camera depending on your intended use. I bring this up so early in the review because I think what you plan on using this camera for will dictate if this is the camera for you or you should look at other options.Pro- Not having to worry about pulling the battery out every few months to charge is a huge benefit. The first few times you have to do this, it's not so bad. The fourth or fifth time starts to get a little more annoying. Although, 24/7 recording will only be supported by corded cameras, so if that is a "must have" feature for you then you are going to be stuck with dealing with the cord. Battery powered cameras just don't have the power to support that feature without completely draining down constantly.Con- You are limited to where you have an outlet (has 11.5ft power cord). Plus, unless you have somewhere to "tuck" the cord, it can look unsightly, which may not matter to some but it does to me.So that all being said, I didn't have anywhere outside my home to place this camera. I do however have a "safe room" that I knew this would be perfect for. You can see in my photos that the product was packaged great. All contents were easy to identify and instructions were simple to understand. I also included some photos of where I placed the camera and some photos using the CloudEdge App. One was with the lights on and other is using the night vision. Trust me when I say that room is pitch-black with the lights off.App- I choose to use the CloudEdge App. It's what I started using with my other cameras and so it's just what I'm used to. I did download the Zumimall App as well and it seems very similar to the CloudEdge App. Either one is very easy to use and can walk you through any of the features with ease. For transparency, I am using the App on an iPhone and have not tried it with Android devices although I'm sure it works just as good.Night Vision- Works great, I can't say enough about it. Again, I think that photo speaks for itself. That room is PITCH BLACK, but you could easily identify someone or something in that photo.Motion Detection- I've always been impressed with this feature as well. In fact, I have had to adjust the motion detection down to a lower setting on all my devices because it was giving me alerts on the smallest of movements. Adjust it down to your preference and you're good to go. It's hard to put a price on peace of mind and knowing I have some extra "eyes" watching my home is a great feeling.Picture quality- 1080P- do I need to say more? We're not filming movies here and I feel like anything over 1080P would just be overkill for a security camera. Picture and video quality are great.Speaking feature- This is probably one of the weaker features of this camera, although my experience with other "communication" devices like this through an app is very limited. The camera picks up sound just fine, it's the "microphone" feature through the app that is limited sometimes. I also think this is greatly dependent on what your Wi-Fi connection to the camera is and how fast your internet is. The cameras I have installed closer to my router seem to do much better with this feature. The cameras I have toward the edge of my home have a 4-5 second delay when using the microphone. Just keep all this in mind if communication is a important feature for you.Weather sustainability- As I mentioned earlier in the review, I did not install this camera outside. So I cannot speak to how well this camera does in the weather. What I can speak to are my other cameras (which are outside) and the build of this camera. First off, my other cameras by Zumimall have been in the elements for close to a year now (purchased in June 2020) and I have had ZERO weather related issues. The important stuff seems to be very well protected and I've just had no complaints to this point. If that changes, I'll make sure to update this review. Now, the build of this camera seems "bombproof". As a matter of fact, I had a little issue getting the weatherproof flap open to install the memory card. The only potential weak point that I can see, is going to be the cord. Everything seems well built, but I don't see how you can leave cordage and electrical contact points exposed to the elements without some form of eventual fail point. Again, if you have no other option I would just do your best to make sure to shield electrical contact point from the elements.Overall Impressions- I think this could be a great camera for someone, although I do worry some about advertising this as an "outdoor" camera. Still, I'm sure someone smarter than me could make it work just fine. For my purpose, I love the camera and I have no doubt that it will give me peace of my for years to come! For those curious, I've included a link to the battery powered cameras I have installed outside my house below. Hope the review helps!https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0816RV4BF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Outdoor Video Security Made Simple
This video camera makes outdoor video security simple. The camera comes with everything needed for easy hardware installation. You will need to supply a ladder, drill, and screwdriver, of course. I already have 2 Zumimall battery-powered, wireless wi-fi cameras for security on the front of my house. I placed this one in the back of the house to monitor our barnyard and rear entry. The power cord was more than long enough to reach the nearest outdoor electrical plug.Zumimall's iPhone app makes the installation of video monitoring a breeze. A QR Code in the instruction booklet makes it easy to find and download the app for Apple and Android devices. A step-by-step instruction guide with illustrations walks you through the process of connecting your camera to the app and to your local wi-fi network. Multiple Zumimall cameras can be added. Once installed, the app allows to you customize each camera's settings, including the sensitivity of motion detection and whether you want high-density or standard-density resolution.So far, I'm pleased with the camera. It easily detects motion in the area monitored. It provides live, clear high-definition nighttime videos. I love that it captures snapshots of any activity that triggers the motion detection and sends an alert immediately to my phone. When alerted, I can view the photos or live video with sound on the app. Adding a micro-SD card will also allow you to also capture recorded video with sound when the motion trigger is activated or on-demand. I have yet to add a micro-SD to this camera. Using the app, the intercom works well for 2-way communication. The microphone picks up nearby sounds well. Because the camera speaker is small, it's best for talking to someone who is within a few feet of the camera.The only improvement I'd like to set alert notifications on a schedule. This would be great for areas where there is a lot of daytime traffic, such as my backyard, where I only want to get alerts on nighttime traffic or when my family is away from home.All things considered, though, this is a great camera for the price, and one I would recommend to anyone looking for a video security system that is easy to install.

A Decent Basic Security Camera
My block is very crowded, so I enjoy that I don’t have to worry about the camera dying with the long power cord provided. Once I got the spot I wanted it to be placed, install was very easy. The video quality is ok. The detail starts to become fuzzy after about 20 feet. Also, it seems like the camera cannot keep up with movement. Faces and bodies break up in passing. Overall, it’s worth it for the price, but get something more expensive.

Easy and high quality camera.
The media could not be loaded. When I purchased this camera I was not sure if its any good but it has surpassed my expectation. The installation was very easy. The plug is not UK but with a £1 converter it works perfectly. The power lead is long enough for installation almost anywhere. The video quality is so clear and fantastic even the night vision is superb. It connects to 2.4Ghz wifi via the app. I highly recommend getting this camera and giving it a try, it's worth every penny.

Versatile and easy to use home CCTV kit
A very handy and useful CCTV kit for the home. Everything works immediately straight out of the box and set up is an absolute doddle. The main CCTV unit is a small unobtrusive camera with a mounting plate and an antenna. You download the app to your phone, and then connect the app to your camera.You don’t get a Micro SD card provided, so you need to buy one yourself if you want to record, either that or you need to subscribe to a paid cloud service. I got a 64 GB card and away I went.The beauty of this device is that you can monitor the CCTV from wherever you are by your phone. You can also record to your phone or take a snapshot should you wish, in addition to the automatic recording onto the SD card.Picture quality is really good and much better than I would’ve expected for such a small and inexpensive unit. It also has sound so you can record via the inbuilt microphone, and there is also an intercom function if you want to talk to the person in view. Motion detection can be set if you wish, and you can get an alert to your phone every time it gets activated.Personally I am really impressed with this outfit. For some reason it doesn’t come with a UK plug so you need to buy a converter to enable you to plug it in (it needs to be connected to the mains at all times). The camera also gets quite warm in use. So a minor points aside, this is a really excellent set up.

Excellent value for the price along with good performance.
I've bought a number of different security cameras over the years, both budget and more expensive options, to monitor my property and my pets when I'm not around - and I'm really impressed with this one.The build quality is excellent. Sturdy with a well-protected lens and a robust casing.Almost all the cameras I've tried didn't come with SD cards, so that isn't an issue with the quality of this kit - it's just a general aspect of how they're sold. It functions perfectly with my SD card and manages to record and store full day-to-day footage without any glitches.Connecting it to my Alexa was a breeze. I've set up the app and am loving all the features it has. The motion sensor is very responsive, but not so sensitive that it detects the movements of the tree in my front yard - I had this issue with my previous security camera and my phone was always flooded with notifications. The two-way audio works seamlessly with crystal clear transmittance.Image quality is fantastic both day and night. It certainly doesn't parallel that of a phone camera, for example, but I can clearly see everything happening and who's at my door.It does the job and is much more efficient than cameras that only record for several hours a day - the 24/7 filming is excellent. Highly recommended.If this review helped, please click on the ‘helpful’ button to let others know! Thanks ツ

Doesn't come with a UK plug
If you are going to buy this camera you will need to buy extras. Firstly, it does not come with a UK plug so you will need an adapter. I would feel much safer with a camera that has a UK plug rather than having something permanently plugged in with an adapter. You will also need to either provide an SD card or subscribe to the cloud service. There are so many good and relatively inexpensive cameras on the market that have UK plugs that I cannot recommend buying this one.
