FOSCAM 3K 5MP Security Cameras Wireless Outdoor, 5GHz&2.4GHz WiFi Camera for Home Security, 120° FoV Outside Surveillance Cam, AI Human/Vehicle Detection, 66FT Color Night Vision, 120dB Siren, IP66

Initial setup was easy. I unboxed it, plugged it in at my desk, and used the Foscam app to get the WiFi set up and add the camera to my existing account. It took all of 5 minutes to do that.Mounting using the included hardware was also easy. I mounted it the corner trim for my siding and hid the wire inside of the trim. My only wish is that wire for the power supply was a bit longer so I could have mounted it higher. Make sure you consider the availability of an outlet nearby where you want to mount it.The camera functionality is very nice. The video quality is very clear and also good at night. The floodlight is handy too and can be controlled from the app. It is brighter than I thought it would be for such a compact camera. I am not using the motion detection feature on this camera. However, I have a flood light camera from Foscam where I use the motion detection feature and it works well and is easy to set up in the app. I am also not utilizing the cloud service or the SD card recording capability, so I can't comment on the playback through the app. I have this hooked up to an older ONVIF compatible NVR for local recording. It was easy to do add it to the NVR, and I like that the Foscam WiFi cameras have the ONVIF capability. You just have to turn it on in the settings once you've added the camera to the app.The build quality is nice, and it seems well built and sturdy. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase, but I do wish the wire for the power supply was just a bit longer.

Installed this camera with no problems. Fast internet connection with simple and fast connection instructions. The quality of the camera is excellent. It’s mounted in a garage where I store a vehicle. I like how I can at any time access video from anywhere in the world at an instant. Night vision is excellent as is daytime quality. I plan on buying more for other areas.

Background: I have owned the following surveillance camera brands: Reolink, Kasa, Foscam, Zmodo and Wansview. I'm a photographer and greatly care about image quality.***Disclaimer: I was contacted by Foscam test and review this camera, I was reimbursed for the purchase of the camera. In no way was I directed to add bias to my review. This is my second camera review for them.Camera: The camera was boxed in a nice secure package, lots of foam around it. At this price point, I was surprised to find that the camera housing is made out of metal! Comparable cameras made by other companies are made out of plastic and not ready for harsh weather conditions. It also has an optional ethernet port which is a must if you want a quick high quality connection.Set up: Connecting the camera to Wifi this time around was a much quicker and easier. I ran into trouble with a previous model. However it seems as though Foscam has fixed that issue. I used the QR code method.Image Quality: The image quality is very good, its not oversaturated and the image is very sharp. The frame rate is much better than some other brands cameras at the same price point. I'm very pleased with the FOV (Field of View) I can get everything I want to see in the image. Infrared works very well at night.Cons: The ethernet port doesn't have a full cap on it so I had to tape it up. I cant find on the app how to use the spotlight.Tips: When installing make sure you attach the antenna and remove the protective light film before you mount the camera otherwise you will have to do it on a ladder.Overall: If you are looking for an inexpensive camera that has a metal housing, great image quality, and quick set up then this is the camera for you. I like it so much, I'm buying another.
