Dzees Outdoor Camera Wireless, 2K Battery Powered WiFi Surveillance Camera for Home Security System with Siren Alarm & Spotlight, Motion Detection, Color Night Vision, IP65 Waterproof Cloud/SD-2-Pack

We were broken into twice in June 2022. We’d been talking about getting cameras as there are condos going up across from our home which brings lots of new faces on our street. After we were robbed, I went on a deep dive into the home cameras and ended up with 2 brands. Turns out we’re keeping both, and here’s what we loved about these:• Night vision is crystal clear. Even after washing the carport and forgetting to clean off the lenses, you could still see perfectly.• Installation was a breeze• There is a circle of LED lights surrounding the cameras that can be set to strobe briefly when motion is detected. My main goal in purchasing cameras wasn’t to CATCH someone, but DETER them. (Plus it scares the vermin that mess with my plants at night 😇) .• They also have an 🚨 alarm 🚨 sound you can manually set which is an added layer of ‘get-the-F-off-my-property-before-I release-the-sharks with-lasers-on-their-heads’.**{you can’t set this feature for certain days/times, only manually, which is room for improvement that will surely be added at some point}**• Multiple users in the house have access to the cameras/live feed/alerts/mic etc🔸 things to consider 🔸~ these aren’t wired, so eventually they will have to be charged. If you wanted cameras outside/away from electrical things that would need an electrical engineer to wire in a whole ass security system and for renters, this is actually a much easier system.~ it uses recognition software to start detecting regular faces/vehicles. It will still alert you of their presence, but will indicate familiars with emoticons.~ you can zoom in on the cameras but not rotate them. Mount them lower than you originally think so faces are clear even if someone is wearing a hat.~ Like ALL of the home cameras on the market, keep in mind this is not a replacement for HOME SECURITY SYSTEMS. It’s meant to deter and be eyes/ears for your home, not partner with your local first responders/911•• The Ring cameras have a neighborhood community that keeps you posted on break-ins etc, but here’s why I don’t care- that’s only for people with Ring Cameras, and doesn’t include all actual criminal incidents. My neighbor’s didn’t announce our break-in to the neighborhood so what’s the point other than more unnecessary anxiety. I want MY home and family safer and if you’re reading this, you do too. I already know there’s shady shitbags out there, and thanks to these cameras, they will know we can see them & will hopefully move on or get some Jesus or jail time or something.🟨BOTTOM LINE!! 🟨We love these. Excellent value, camera quality and overall very happy after having them installed for over a month. Just buy Dzees because sharks are endangered and lasers are expensive.

I did a LOT of research before getting these and I have to say I’m impressed!!!The value and what you get is well worth it!!Battery life is awesome(I have 4 cameras)my most active camera on the garage was installed almost 2 months ago and is still holding a charge at 51% while the others are at 68% and one that has a solar panel is at 100%.You don’t need a subscription but,they do have a paid option for better motion detection.They have a built in mic so you can talk through the camera and it’s surprisingly loud and clear along with a siren and strobe light to ward off deer or burglars.One camera is set up in the crawl space for critters in complete darkness(see pic)and is very visible.Easy to set up and you can add others who load the app to view the cameras from there phones.The only 2 minor downside I have is that there is a slight delay of maybe 2-3sec for the camera to come on and record when it detects motion.So when a car drives at 10mph by the time it detects motion the car is half way pass my house.Also you can fine tune days/times for the camera to be in"sleep"mode to save on battery life but,they are in 30min time increments so instead of wanting the cameras on at 7:10am when I leave to work it would be 7:30am not a big deal but,would be nice to personalize and fine tune the times.Besides that you can’t beat the price and value for these little cameras and I would highly recommend them if you don't want to pay a premium for the competitors for the same quality camera.

I was searching for good cameras that didn't cost a fortune and came across these. I was also trying another very popular brand so I tested them at the same time - side by side - and these won, hands down - I sent the other cameras back. I love the 7 days of FREE cloud storage, and even if I do decide to go with the paid plan it is only like $3/month for up to 20 cameras! The competition is $3/month for ONE camera or $10/month for more than one camera. The video quality is actually better than expected. The app is easy to navigate. There are even sleep settings which allow me to have the indoor cameras sleep during the day while we are home working - you can even choose which days to use the sleep schedule. That was an unexpected bonus! You can also control which, if any, indicator lights come on with motion, so as not to alert that they are recording.I do have a few recommendations that would make these cameras absolutely perfect, but they are so great already that I didn't deduct any stars.1. Would be better if they could be magnetically mounted to be much quicker and easier to take down for charging.2. Would be much better if they had a removable battery so we could have extra batteries to replace for charging so the camera isn't just out of commission during charging.3. Would be nice if it integrated with Alexa.4. Would love to see a doorbell version come out!Overall, I am in love with these cameras. I originally tested 2 and already ordered 2 more. I have all of them indoors, but I will be ordering more for outside to replace the outdated cameras I currently have outside. Luckily, they also have a compatible solar panel, so that will be nice for the outdoor ones.
