Good camera,very clear,works amazing and is super easy to install

The media could not be loaded. A short while ago I reviewed Litokam's impressive 2K WiFi static camera (LF-C1t). I was so impressed with the app experience and quality of image I went ahead and ordered this Little elf 360 degree smart camera from them.My main reason for buying this camera is to monitor our attic, due to rodent activity in the winter months. The 360 degree smart camera has the advantage of being able not only to rotate 360 degrees and see all around, but tilt up and downwards. The camera is powered from a USB power source (included) so can be left on indefinitely.Using the mobile app (available for both iOS and Android) you can manually control the direction of the camera either left or right, as well as up and down. What I really like is the ability to then store up to 8 preset positions for the camera and name these. This enables me to quickly point the camera at specific points surrounding the camera.The camera has a built-in infrared illuminator for 'invisible' illumination in the dark. You can either manually switch this on or use auto mode for when the surroundings are too dark. Another neat feature is the automatic tracking, where the camera will attempt to follow a moving object or person. You can also define a monitoring area (to prevent unwanted triggering) and adjust the detection sensitivity in 3 levels.Motion detection can be turned on or off, and works by detecting any movement in the video image. It's so sensitive in high that it triggers when small insects fly past the camera! Sound detection is another way to trigger the camera, and it's possible to even link in a siren to go off if movement is detected.The camera has both a microphone and speaker so it is possible to communicate with someone on the other side of the camera from the app. The sound is surprisingly loud and clear given the small size of the speaker. Volume level is adjustable.Whilst you can use the camera without local or cloud storage, to record any detected video when the app is inactive you need to plug an optional micro SD card into the camera or sign up to one of the cloud storage plans. I'm using an inexpensive 64GB micro SD card which gives about 2 weeks continuous recording, you can use up to 128GB.A really useful feature when using an optional micro SD card to record to is the option to choose between recording events or continuous recording. You can program a time schedule so the camera is only active during certain times of the day.The app shows a timeline of any recorded events. I like how you can pinch and zoom this to locate and playback multiple recordings. There's also a date picker for choosing the recording date. Any events also appear in a message list along with a still preview image. It's all really well thought out and very intuitive.There's so much customisation for the camera within the app it's really impressive. HDR mode lifts shadows for when there are very bright objects in view, allowing you to see a wider range of light levels. You can perform digital zooming as well as panning of the camera. There are options to manually record video or take a still image at any time from the app.The app caters for multiple cameras and it's possible to view multiple feeds simultaneously. The previews are realtime and include wireless signal strength as well as the data rate. Quality of the camera image is impressive at HD resolution. There's a choice of HD or SD picture quality although there's little point in using the lower quality SD unless recording time is your top priority.The HD video quality is exceptional with good sharpness, definition and colour rendition. Video is recorded at 2304x1296 pixels HEVC (on my phone) and 20fps in HD. The still photos are the same resolution as the video frame. SD is recorded at 640x368 pixels H264 and 20fps.For the price and given the quality of the app this camera is exception value.

Constantly goes offline even when sat on top of router. Video quality is acceptable. Can't keep it connected to the network for more than 5 minutes.By the look of the reviews it works for most people, just not for me.Won't be purchasing another.I have had a imou life camera I bought last year and it is outside 20 meters away from my home and not had a single drop in signal.After looking on Google it seems it is common for this camera to constantly disconnect from the network, so not worth buying IMHO.For the price it's gone in the bin.Edit.Litocam have since replaced my camera, which at the moment seems to be working correctly.I am actually quite surprised at the excellent customer service who sorted me out extremely quickly. I found them very pleasant to deal with.Based on the customer service and the fact the camera is working with no error so far, I have changed the rating to reflect this. I was not asked to do this by Litocam.Thanks.

I have now purchased 2 of these(one for home and one for family) great for checking in on my dog when I can’t take her with me. Option to speak through the camera, turn on sound, swivel camera all the way around left to right, and goes up and down. Needs connected to Wi-Fi but once’s it’s been set up that it sorted, just need to turn it on. Lots of features and app is easy to use, well worth the affordable price.

Exactly as described

Bought this for a newly acquired cat who was very secretive and hiding in the house. It showed him being up most of the night and eating well.Fabulous that I could watch him and see what he was up to, put my mind a rest, now he is lovable.

Excellent customer service when my cameras encountered an issue and because of this I completely recommend these cameras.I have four of these cameras and three of them are pointing out a window to monitor the outside of the property. Where there is natural street lighting these are fantastic, and the night vision on the internal camera works great. Storage capacity (with an SD card) is brilliant and alerts when someone approaches works really well.
