litokamSecurity Camera Indoor 2K, 360 Pan/Tilt Cameras for Home Security with Motion Detection, Baby Monitor for Pet/Dog with Night Vision, 2.4GHz WiFi Cam with Phone App & 2-Way Audio

The company Litocom claims to have a lifetime guarantee on this little camera. But i haven't owned it more than a week as i write this.My son-in-law spent $200+ for a comparable baby monitor camera, so i found $20 (summer 2024) hard to believe, but so far, it is an excellent device. The manual tracking servo works perfectly. i don't know about the automatic tracking, babies don't move that much. The motion detector notification is appropriate and effective. Night vision seems fine. Resolution really does appear to be 2k. It was easy to setup and uses the Smart321 website like a lot of other Chinese devices. It seemed to be such a good deal, i bought another for a different room & grandchild.As far as i can tell it uses about .2 amps at 5 volts most of the time (usb-A power cord and USB-C connector on the camera, so you don't need much. i have had no disconnects from the wifi so far, although it's only a 5' from our router.It records video and takes pictures manually quite easily. The app is easy to use, with a lot of tools. the company spent a lot of time, labor and money developing this.The only problem i had so far was when it's power got disconnected, the app on my iphone 15 did not readily reconnect the camera stream. i had to restart the app. It's a very small problem.i recommend this camera and will come back to update if it has problems.

Great cameras and great customer service. I wanted to be able to check on a shut-in family member that is alone during the day. I purchased the 4 pack of indoor cameras. I was having trouble with one of them. I contacted customer service and they helped me work through the issue. They suspected it was a Wi-Fi issue, with not enough signal making it through the wall. I didn’t agree because I had other Wi-Fi devices in the same room that were working. After checking a couple other possibilities, they sent me a replacement camera. Unfortunately, I continued to have trouble with the new camera. Customer service stayed with me and stayed in touch with me while trying to resolve the issue, and followed up after to make sure everything was ok. I installed a Wi-Fi extender in the room and that resolved the problems. So they are sensitive to the Wi-Fi signal strength. The app wasn't clear to me on the instructions for set up and Customer Service helped me with that too.The cameras did what I needed them for, and I liked the cameras so much that I decided to expand and add outdoor cameras. I upgraded to a more powerful Wi-Fi router, and I purchased 4 outdoor cameras. Three connected well, but one ended up being too far away and I couldn’t’ get a consistent signal. With the better router, I didn't need the Wi-Fi extender for the first indoor one anymore, so I moved the Wi-Fi extender to support the most distant camera, and I haven’t had any trouble since. Sometimes a camera will fail to connect, but it will try to reconnect, or give you a reconnect button. If it fails to connect multiple times, the app will report the camera off line, but it will self reset. The app has a feature called Multi-view, that will allow you to view 4, 9 or 16 cameras all at once. Most failures come when in the multi-view mode.The cameras are fantastic especially for the price point. They do a very good job and are easy to operate. They do require a strong Wi-Fi signal. They have a microphone and speaker, and have the capability to talk to the person through your phone to the camera. This is a weakness that I wish was better. The quality isn’t very good, but it’s passable. I found that there are two modes, push-to-talk and two-way. Two way has better quality than the push-to-talk. It’s good enough that I can use it to check in on someone at home, and I use it frequently for that.They need to be plugged in for power. The indoor cameras have a USB jack and use a standard USB cord. The four pack of cameras that I bought have a USB mini port. The newer cameras that they sent me had a USB-C. In both cases, they come with a cord and a power block. The cord is long enough if you are setting the camera on a table. However, I hung mine on the walls near the ceiling, so I needed some longer cables. Since they are standard cables, they can be easily ordered on Amazon in various lengths. The cameras come with the mounting hardware which consists of an adjustable bracket, screws with anchors, and a thumbscrew to mount the camera to the bracket. The adjustable bracket will allow you to mount either to the ceiling or the wall. The camera can be hung right-side-up or up-side-down. The app has a feature to flip the image if you hang it up-side-down.The outdoor cameras are set up a little differently. The power cord is hardwired into the camera to make it weather proof. The plug in end was USB-C. For 2 of mine, I needed to purchase a USB extension cable to get the reach I needed to plug it in. Again, it's a standard extension cable, so it was an easy set up.The tilt-pan functions work well and are easy to use and are controlled from the app.The night vision is really good. I'm amazed by what I can see, especially on the indoor cameras. I moved my living room camera. In its original position it was 20' from the front door and I could check if I locked the front door, at night, in the dark. I could see the position of the lock. I moved the camera and it's now 30' away and I can't make it out anymore. But that's the quality of the resolution.My outdoor front door camera is about 15' away from the door and I can recognize people at the front door or coming up the sidewalk, day or night. But it's not good enough to make out a license plate on the street.You can turn the microphone on or off to listen while you are viewing.With the motion detection feature the camera will follow a person as they move, but it will also wake up the recording feature.There is an alert that will go to your cell phone if it detects motion or sound. I turned that off, as it will send you alerts as you move around, but it is great to use as a security feature if you are away.I rated them as a 5 because, while not perfect, I think they are really very good for low cost cameras. I haven't even tried all the features that they have. They seem to be better than the other cameras I compared them to. I purchased a camera of another brand, which was about the same price per camera, and I never even bothered to set it up. Out of the box, I didn't like the cord and the mounting bracket and I stopped right there. The Litokam cameras were definitely better.

Wonderful little camera! Images are clear and high quality, it’s easy to set up and walks you through the connection process. I didn’t install the stand, I just set it on a table and plugged it with the included power cable. I ordered a Micro SD card and popped it right in, I didn’t have an issue with it at all. I just haven’t quite mastered using the free app yet, it was an easy download and I signed in okay but just need to learn how to navigate all of the options. I can’t seem to find out how to view all of the motion activated videos that it captured.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve been using this indoor camera for a couple of months, and overall it works well. The video quality is good, and the connectivity has been solid—I’ve had no issues with the app staying connected. It detects both movement and sound. You can take pictures or make small videos as well. Assembly and installation were very easy, which was a big plus.However, there are a few downsides. The speaker isn’t great—when I try to talk through the app, the camera just makes noises, and it's hard to understand anything. Also, the camera sometimes gets stuck when I try to pan from one side to the other, which can be frustrating. Lastly, the charging cable is quite short, so you need to install it close to a power outlet.

This is my best technology purchase on Amazon thus far. I use these to monitor my cats when I’m out of town. What is great is that even if I don’t see them on the live feed, I can look at screenshots of motion detected to see that they are doing well. Allows for full scan of the room including keeping an eye on their food and water. I got these at a great price so was worried a that the quality might not be there but I was super pleasantly surprised. Super high quality. Microphone feature works great for calling them to camera. Super happy with purchase. Have been using them for two months when traveling.
