Testing The Cheapest Outdoor WiFi PTZ IP Camera I Could Find - Besder Security Camera Review 

It's perfect for when i hear something outside and wanna take a look around And make sure no one outside messing with my stuff

Love your review...thanks, I always wanted to buy cheap cameras. Good work!

Important Note: this will NOT detect body heat to trigger white LEDs (in darkness), or trigger the alarm push notifications. There is no PIR sensor on this device. There is a photocell sensor to detect low light conditions, but this is not the same thing as a PIR sensor. The description about the "3 night modes" is a little confusing. To clarify, when in low light conditions "OFF" means it will only use the IR lights, so images are black & white. "ON" means the white LEDs will remain lit full time, and images will be in colour. "AUTO" means that in darkness, the white LEDs will come on and it will record in colour if anything in the image changes. Therefore, if you set it to "AUTO", and it is installed outside, in darkness, even the smallest change in the image such as a flying insect, a leaf blowing in the wind, or a rain drop flashing by, then the white LEDs switch on and it will switch to colour recording, and the white LEDs stay on for around 2 minutes. The white LEDs attract more flying insects if installed outside, so basically the white LEDs stay on constantly throughout the night. Other than this drawback, it is a decent budget IP camera. It's not full HD recording, but daytime image quality is okay, probably 720P and not 1080P as advertised. The frame rate however is a bit low, maybe 10-15fps. It's a bit tricky to setup as local AP only (if no WiFi available), and some of the important settings are missing in this mode, but the app is fairly user friendly. Playback is not great either. The slidebar timeline is overly sensitive, and it is easy to skip too far. It also records in blocks if using a TF card, so you cannot always immediately view the past 3-5 minutes, but it does eventually allow you to view any moment captured on an internal TF card. This is the best budget IP PTZ camera I have bought and tested, but some features in the camera and the app still need much improvement. If you have the money and want all the missing features, you should look at investing in a NVR with WiFi capabilities. Hope this helps somewhat.

Its amazing to see people live so crammed together.

For the price it's really good, we sometime expect to much to little money so this isn't really bad at all pretty decent.

For the price it's actually better than I thought it would be. Nice job.

I used to own one of these Besder camera's and binned it because it was incredibly unstable. It would run for a few hrs then freeze for no apparent reason. I tried it wirelessly and wired and even bought a wifi booster. Save yourself time and hrs of frustration and buy a camera from a branded western company.

Good review. Thank you! It helps me a lot.

The problem with all these cheap camera's these days is that they work with an app on your phone giving away all your privacy but if you simply want to setup the cam on a local ip network and acces it with a pc, then it becomes very hard.

Installed it myself without any issues. The wifi signal is great even ru-vid.comUgkxE_D_sddGAdiVUKp7PkkmyxO7bRtgqmk5 when the router is located far away. I really enjoy the night vision feature that allows me to see clearly any activity near our house (mostly cars and wild animals). The motion detection is helpful to me as well to monitor what happens on our front.

Very good presentation.. Excellent. Keep it up.. 👍👍👍

Quite nice review video, informative.

some recommended brand of microsd and what capacity does it support for this camera?

Hi, Thanks for your review. I have 3 of these and find them to be OVERLY sensitive. I put them on the lowest sensitivity level and still get constant notifications without any video.

This is the reviews that need to be made. Expensive cameras should be good and don't need to be reviewed.

Great video. Question: do you need to be connected to the same internet as the camera in order to view what it sees or any internet connection will do. I have no internet where I want to place the camera so a repeater is an option but it creates a separate wifi and if I am at the other end of the house my phone and camera will be connected to two separate networks.

Thanks for your review...I just ordered a really cheap pan/tilt camera from Amazon for $17.99 CDN! When it arrives (IF it arrives - from China) let's see how bad it is!! Interesting that you pronounce 'Z' as 'zed' - as we do in Canada. Also, that the power adapter seems to have the same two prong plug as ours does, too...Cheers!

Hello, great video! I have a different camera but it works with the same app, the thing is that the joystick it's not working (it didn't appear when I set up the camera) and I don't know what to do

Gday Can you http into the camera on the LAN/Local WIFI without an Mobile "APP" ? Does it have an IP address and HTTP/HTTPS server ?

Great video. Do you consider its video quality good enough for zoom meetings? can it be controlled from a laptop?

Pretty good value. Thanks for the video

Thanks for this vid buddy

Hi I was wondering if you can zoom into the video after playback ( when reviewing your footage) to focus a specific area on a PTZ or/and Motorized Varifocal camera. What is the difference between a PTZ and Motorized Varifocal camera other than the Pan and Tilt function? Thanks.

hey Securitybros greetings from Ecuador i got a questions. Its this camera compatible with cctv witch i could record in a DVR?

I have several of this camera. Been using it for 5months now with no problem. Using sdcard recording for playback.

This camera has no zoom, so its not really a ptz, just a pt, but it also has audio and it has tracking, like if someone walks by it will follow them, very cool! Also I have it connected to my dvr security camera system, so it records to it instead of the cloud or sd card, only downside with this is it records 24/7.

Even cheap cameras work great out of the box, but the key metric to consider when buying is longevity. Cheap infra-red LEDS always burn out, and rain and severe cold does damage them regardless of whether they claim to be weatherproof. If night vision is important to you, don't get a cheap camera. Best thing you can do is augment the weatherproofing yourself.

Hi Chris, do you know if this cam has a known http or rtsp stream so you can add it to windows applications like BlueIris or Ispy ?? I have some chinese cams that work very well with their own app but are impossible to use with other software since the stream cannot be found. Thanks !!

Hi. Very good information but how do I get the 3 cables into the house (brick built) do I just buy extender cables and a longer Ethernet cable. Any help please. No one gives the best ideas how to route the cables. Thanks all.

I can change the cloud service ?....the native options is very expensive for my country (brazil)

Is it possible to connect multiple cameras to the same app ? Can you have two cameras running and check them simultaneously on your phone?

Hey we have constant power outages in my country, does this have some sort of battery or anything u would recommend?? thx fo da videos

Me too I like it cameras. I like to control wireless things. And also it’s not common that a QR is read by the camera. Usually it’s the app reeds it through the phone.

How do you connect this to the desktop using the 'IP Camera' software - I can connect with the phone, but not get the camera to work on the computer... thanks for your help.

@securitybros.. Following your revue, I have purchased one off eBay. It arrives in a couple of days. Just one question if I may ask, could this be connected to a NVR box and if so, have you got any recommendations for a unit please.

Excelent review👏😉

Is there a Webinterface oder CGI-Command-List... is it possible to take snapshot with Cgi-Command

could it (or any another similar to this model) send images to the FTP server every N seconds?

For one of the cheapest camera this is very good thanks alot

Please help. It worked perfectly first time. Then it stopped. I tried resetting it and making a new connection but now it doesn't want to connect to my WiFi. Keeps saying WiFi connection failed.

Very nice neighborhood, nice houses and a real good video camera ,happy living where ever you are.

Can we set only for motion detecting or you can set on motion detetor with sound detector together?

Hi what cable do you need to connect to the DVR thanks

Thank you. My neighbor bought this cam but couldn't get it to work. He gave it to me. I had it working on Ethernet cable but not wifi. You told what app to download to make it work. Now it's working on WiFi. Just need to mount it.

I have this camera and it works just fine. It is Onvif and connects wirelessly to my NVR recorder without any issues. Having it powered from my garage means than I have not had to drill through walls. It does not have any fancy features such as optical zoom or iris control. The automatic tracking works but it will track trees blowing the wind etc.

i have seen a lot of Solar Power Security Cameras do they work ?? they run on 2 or more 18650 batterys

I purchase one of these about 6 months ago and it died this week. Earlier today I tested it and found the camera board has a direct power short to ground. There are three circuit boards stacked together inside this thing, a camera board, PTZ driver board and a WiFi/memory board. The boards are marked SJG. I really didn't expect this thing to last more than 6 months when I bought it and I was right.

I have camera which looks like yours, the model is c-p05. Is it normal that the camera pans periodically to one side and than it moves also tilt up a bit and down a bit and than stabilise an working normally? Also, does this camera also track by tilt or just pan? Because my cam does not track by tilt. But at this moment camera is 1,70m above the floor and maybe is this why does not track by tilt, or just does not support tilt tracking? Thank you!

Thanks! This helped since I misplaced the instruction manual.

GREAT VIDEO,, I would have liked to know more about the Cat-? wire connection, it is more than cat-5 or cat-6, as mine has 7 pins in the connector, guess I will have to search some more to find what cable I need..

hi, how can I set the camera to record on sd when the motion sensor detect a movement? why if I start manually a record it stops after some minutes (sd card space is available) thanks

Can I watch video stream just on same wifi as camera or I can also watch that video stream from another country while camera is connected to my router in home?

Hello Chris, I have just bought the same camera but I do not know how to configure email alert (not cloud). Do you know how to configure it?. Another question: Do you know if it is possible or not to use CAM-HI app to configure from factory reset this C-P05 ip cam?. Thks in advance for you answer and video

Hi 2 questions: a) there is a control panel where setup the camera, like for example the IP address or the password? Can this camera transmit via rtsp? Regards

Do you know if the camera can be used with another app. I’m looking to use my own home network to store my video vs paying the mthly/yrly subscription that you have to sign up for if you use the YCC365 plus app.

so the data go through the AWS, wonder how secure it is, if there is 0day issue, the privacy can be exploited

Nice. I would get the next to cheapest. Thanks for sharing .

Refreshing good review!

Hi, do you know if it is possible to use it like normal ip camera and connect it to surveillance system, or you always need to use their app? THX

Hello, can I connect multiple phones to camera? For example my brother would also like to have access to view camera but I am already connected with my phone to it .

So I have to pay a subscription to a cloud service. Is there another way to see what it recorded with removing the sd card everytime?

Great video thanks 😊

Nice review, thanks

Is it possible to view the feed via browser or use an ip address to stream to for example ContaCam?

thanks for the great info . I have unlimited internet in my phone cell and I dont have home internet broadband . I have to have home internet or I can use my mobile cell internet too? thanks .

How about the mirco sd card recording? Does it allow sd card recording / looping?

How do you install it outdoors while connected to the power adapter?

maybe i missed it, but how does the recording work? does it automatically record all day? or only when motion is detected? or only when you press record? and can you download it into your phone? or should the micro SD be removed from the camera? Also, i see those 3 cables, do i need some sort of special connection for it?

Thank you for the video! Very helpful (-:

Hi securitybros, can I use the YCC 365 App for more than 2 cameras ? Thanx

Thanks for a nice review! If you'd need to choose the best this type of ptz outdoor surveillance camera for let's say maximum 100$, which one would it be?

Great video!

I am struggling to find how to play back recording on SD card of no Cloud store is subscribed. Only way is to take out the SD card and read it manually ?

Great vid! A no brainer if you are on a tight budget and just want a camera presence and fair quality. Much more peace of mind than nothing!

Как на нем отключить обнаружение по звуку? В "Облачное событие"?

My cloud service Expired, I have a new Micro SD card and setting changed to record to card. However No events are being recorded and I cannot view the video's on the card only when I manually hit the record button does it save the videos to my album. I can manually record by hitting the record button but is won't record when the camera is set to motion and sound Alarm! So is there a way to set this to record event when motion or sound is detected? Am I missing something?

Can you use this camera to tie into existing security network? As an add on?

Mis cámaras dejaron de grabar en memoria. Podría aser un video de paso apaso para areglar el problema gracias

I have 4 and i.m quite happy with them

Good review. Very useful info...thks

Good video. Would you be able to comment on the user interface, as I would be using an IP Cam Viewer on my computer and need to set it up manually? Thanks :)

What is the model you use to compare the camera? The big one, thanks

Hi. My V380 pro wireless camera, but we work with cables for better and quicker response. After 6 months or more, we can't go into the camera, although it shows LAN online with camera id number. Tries to connect for a long period of time but doesn't connect.

Nice video, thank you :)

What do you do to get it to connect to the WiFi it says it has to connect to 2.4 and all the WiFi is 5.0 but hot spot WiFi I see is 2.4 the instructions act like everyone knows all about switching between the two?

can it connect a NVR? since I don't like camera passing by using my wifi I have a wireless NVR it supports PTZ

Hello how can you look at the pictures on the memory card Regards Daniel

I really should check reviews before purchasing, however in this case it appears I made a reasonable purchase thanks to your review, the camera only has to monitor an area of two square meters, normally I would not even require the pan and tilt function, however this function will allow me to monitor my solar charge controller display.

Hi, i have this camera and set it up and work great, but how i can download vidoes from memory card ?

Can you use ICSee or XMeye for the camera?

Hello, can this camera automatically rotate from one side to other side? So could I monitoring whole 270° area?

looks good for the money! I ordered one today tnx for the info!

I'm using a blue iris software to view my Wanscam IP cameras HW0045, and I wanted to know if this model is compatible with my software? Can I use the ip and add it to my software to control the PTZ camera?

Great video like to see more I subscribed for the price it gets the done I'm buy one now thanks

Im wondering if you could use ethernet cable for this.

thank you good info is it possible to set it not to view next door in there garden or drive way e e

What app you use for camera because i use icsee and I canot turn on the led lights. I dont have a buton for light in app.

Does it have the posibility to upload files to FTP and not SD card?

I got a ohwoai PTZ camera and it was sending me alerts everytime it detected motion so I changed it to humanoid detection and now it sounds a alarm at the camera everytime it picks up motion

do you need a internet cable to it? can it just put video true wifi but need a cable for internet ?
