Sharx Security SCNC2900WP Full HD 1080P indoor PoE IP network camera with MicroSD DVR and True Day and Night Vision

I am a returning customer as I am replace my 4 cameras from Sharx (both wired and wireless - all still working) with their latest once for better picture quality..I did a diligent market research this time again to see where technology is and what the prices are but the market gave me all the good reason to return to Sharx.1. The cameras easily can compete with all other brands out their both in price and technology. If you find cheaper cameras, it is because their have less features and lag quality.2. Setup is easy! But as you learn more about the technology (configure motion detection, video stream quality, central storage via true NAS,etc.), you will be surprised how much you can do with these cameras.3. No subscription. Do let other vendors reach in your wallet every month for services you can have with these cams for free. Access from anywhere, on any platform. Store videos on the cams or on your local network storage at home but don't throw you money at the "all mighty cloud"4. Best of ALL: Customer support. When I got my first cams I decide for Sharx because of customer support getting great reviews. It was very true then and is still true TODAY. I made a mistake and re-use the old power supplies with the new cams which cause the night vision to not work. I found the old email address [email protected] and 2hours later my problem was solved. The same great support when I got started 5 years ago and had the typical beginner questions.

Nothing wrong with the product. But it requires hard wiring although it uses PoE. Much prefer the wireless version for its conveniency of placement. Setup and configuration is very logical and easy.

I installed this in a retail store and set it to record on motion detection. It's easy to access with the web browser interface and the recorded files are satisfyingly sharp. I plan to get the weatherproof version for a better angle, but with this one looking out the window I am certain I could resolve license plates of any vehicles within about 50-60 feet (but let's hope I never have to).The recorded files are easy to access and just glancing at the time-stamped file names, it's obvious if there was activity over night. The IR lights really brighten the night-time recording. The little IR emitters look a dim red in real life when turned on, which kind of makes the device look evil.I use this one with a Netgear POE switch GS108PE so I could just run a single cat6 ethernet cable to the camera... works flawlessly.Great product, I plan to buy another soon.

I found this when looking up DIY weatherproof web cams. So this isn't exactly a USB web cam - its an IP camera - and it isnt exactly weatherproof. But by using an IP camera that supports POE, I don't have to worry about extending USB. And unlike most other IP cameras, no cloud account or subscription is required - the camera itself is a digital DVR, storing pictures and/or video on a micro SD card. And that's not all - this camera has a built in web server that lets you view live streams on PCs, MACs, and most phones. Plus it can take pictures periodically and store them locally, then (if you want) it can email them to you, or FTP them... plus it supports motion detection recording if desired.There are many other features on this camera, which I recommend checking out. Really, this is probably better suited for a baby cam or surveillance camera. For a bit more money you can also get wireless options and actual weatherproofBack to the original purpose - I was looking for a weatherproof camera, and while this might be weather resistant, it is not weatherproof - a problem I solved by buying a $14 weatherproof work light at Lowes - i just disassembled the electrical, bulb, and reflector and had an instant weatherproof housing with a perfect Cat 6-sized entry hole.

As all the reviews note, the cameras are excellent and the customer service superlative. Even my dumb questions are answered completely! Since the cameras come with a whole host of features, plan on spending some time acquainting yourself with all of them. I spent quite a bit of time house cleaning my internet/modem/router/switches before beginning the installation. It does make a difference! In fact, I ended up returning my recently arrived modem/router from TWC and purchasing an Arris SB613 modem (thereby eliminating the new $8 monthly lease!). My Netgear Router, WNDR4300 works just fine with all the cameras in a large home network. Once again, you cannot find more complete, responsive, excellent, customer service! So worth the money!

Compact & simple to install, had it working in 5 minutes. Sharx support is extremely good too, had to deal with a Safari preferences issue for setting up motion detection & they were quick to respond.

Nice cameras. Love them. Night vision is excellent.

The daytime image is great, even in contrasty sunlight. IR/nighttime image is clear to 40 feet or so. Software controls allow fine-tuning of image delivery. Customer support (via responsive email) continues to be excellent.
