GALAYOU 2K Security Camera Outdoor, 360° CCTV Camera, Home Security WiFi Camera with Color Night Vision, Pan-Tilt View, App Notification, 2-Way Audio Y4 (2-Pack)

I’ve been using this CCTV camera for years now, and I’m genuinely impressed with its performance and reliability. Setup was super easy — the app guided me through everything in just a few minutes. The video quality is excellent, even at night. The infrared night vision provides a clear view with good detail, which is crucial for home security. The camera offers fantastic quality at an affordable price. It’s dependable, easy to use, and packed with useful features. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a solid home surveillance option without breaking the bank.

This is my 2nd cctv camera, my first was a tuya which after 3 years gave up the ghost but for the price was an ok camera, I decided to go for this GALAYOU and give it a try and it has gone beyond what I was expecting re reliability, great connection with my android phone wherever I am, clear and crisp pictures and video also audio is superb, literally plug and play from the box, you get all you need apart from memory card if you don't wish to use the cloud subscription, I would recommend using the subscription as you can use 3 devices for the same price.connection to internet is quick and I've had no problems with dropping out, notifications to phone have been instant and the great thing is at night when motion is detected a light comes on for a period of time for a clear colour footage, when viewing through phone at night the image is still very clear even if light not illuminated there is an option to adjust light to longer times etc., you can move direction of cctv with your phone which is also instant.so to sum up for price functionality and reliability this is as good as some of the higher end cctv cams out there for a fraction of the price.

It's often hard when buying a camera to find one that actually works as it should, this one did everything you wanted, quickly and easily! The connection to the WiFi was simple and took minutes. The app has many features and you can control the camera easily. It's a strong build and you can feel the quality of it. It has extra features such as siren and light and lots of ways to set motion detection options etc. The picture quality is excellent and you can remotely use the light for crisp, full colour video at night. So glad I bought this camera. Highly recommended

I am very pleased with these cameras overall (I bought 2). The build quality feels good, they mount easily and the image quality is superb. The software/app is ok too. But I have scored it only 4 for motion detection, not because it doesn't detect, but because it detects TOO MUCH on a night. It seems that the Infrared night vision works well and the images are clear, but it also picks up every bug that flies past and every raindrop when it rains. So if motion alerts are switched on then the phone is going crazy every few seconds (at best every few minutes).The only solution has been to switch off motion detection on a night, which kinda defeats the purpose of having these.I'd say if you are unlikely to experience many bugs flying past (the IR light attracts them, it seems) and/or you don't get much rain or could put under a cover so the rain would be some distance away, then it is a great little camera.

Bought two cameras for security monitoring of our front and backdoor. I was so pleased with the cameras I bought a third camera for my shed and back gate area's !It was really easy to set up and install, the free software works well and easy to navigate. The camera has 4 preset positions making it easy to monitor various areas with ease. It has a light which can be remotely turned on and off butthe built in infra red is really good, but black and white with very clear recordings. As mentioned in other reviews the motion sensor light is very sensative but not a problem because of the infa red faculty.All in all this cameras are a real bargain and have recommend the camera to my family members.

It only records if find you've got nothing else better to do than to sit watching the live feed.I have two other cameras from two other manufacturers and they provide functionality to be able to record from replay along the cameras timeline. This camera only allows you to download selected footage from along that same timeline.But it gets worse. You are only allowed to download a certain amount of footage. And it seems to be a very small amount of footage.So you then have to break down the footage you want to download because you can't record it in the first place into pieces small enough to be able to download them instead of the block the footage you want.If there was a recording facility this wouldn't be a problem in the first place.I've contacted their technical support and what a waste of time that was.They sent messages with pleasantries about how wonderful they hope your day is and flowers but then they criticize you for the length of your email when it's got lots of details in relation to the problems you've got so that they can help you with those problems.So rather than looking at the details of the problems to try and help resolve them to provide answers to the problems instead they just look at the length of the email and criticize it and then blame the author of the email for not being able to sort the problem because apparently it's not clear what the problem is.That's just an excuse for not being able to do what is required.Which in this case is to provide a recording function for when you are reviewing footage the feature they call replay.The recording facility is available within the app but only when you are looking at live feed.How many people are going to be sat looking at live feed to then know to record live feed as it's needed?By the time somebody realizes they need to record something that's live it's already happened or they've missed the start of what it is that they want or need to record.Considering this is a security camera and there is a good possibility that the footage needed will be required to prosecute somebody for breaking the Law it's astonishing and I am bewildered at the fact that this company doesn't provide this recording facility within the app and rather than dealing with this by either sorting the appal so that it does provide this facility in replay they have instead evaded the issue within the email I sent and instead focused on the length of the email effectively blaming me for them not being able to sort the problem out to even identify what the problem is because my email was so long.I'm an engineer and I've been one for over 40 years I deal with details.The more details the better. Because that's information that helps me identify a problem and hopefully then I gather more information more details to then be able to find solutions to those problems.I'm dealing with a technical support department who doesn't want me to provide details of problems they have criticized me for doing so and blamed me for them not being able to sort problems out because apparently I haven't highlighted what the problems actually are.Correction the problem because according to the person I've been dealing with there can be only one problem or one problem at a time to be dealt with.I would rather provide too much information when I am dealing with people in written former than to provide two little information and then for them to not understand what the problem is and then to waste more time going backwards and forwards adding more information as time is wasted rather than providing it all at the start when it's all available at that point so why would I waste time providing bits and pieces of information when I have it all with me in the first instance to be provided all at once to provide as full a picture as possible of several not just one problem and these problems being linked to each other.I had to ask for an instruction manual and that manual was very basic it didn't deal with the problems I was asking to be solved and then to add insult to injury at the back of the manual it asks me to tell the company what I think and I talked that to mean what I think of the manual and the way the item works or doesn't work as it should.As well as being my way of providing information to help the support people to find solutions to the problems I had to inform them of which I shouldn't have had to inform them of because this stuff is basic when you're dealing with a security camera or a CCTV camera.So it's my view that they are already aware of these issues and either don't want to or count deal with them to solve them.Buy focusing on criticising me for the the length of my email to them rather than focusing on the information I provided within the email they have chosen to distract attention away from the problems I highlighted and presented to them so that it's then about me and how I am the reason why they don't understand what the problems are to be able to help me with them.That's known as gas lighting.It's a very cynical way to run a company and a business.Having been a manager and being in business myself and having advised businesses over the years I know that this is a very short-term way of looking at things but then if we are dealing with companies in China they have a very different way of doing things so this to them may be the right way for them to do business.Sell cheap sell as many as you can and then go out of business and people are left with devices that don't work properly and where there's no support for them.Because the company no longer exists or it's changed its name in which case it's changed its name so doesn't exist for the people who've bought these devices.So I'm going to contact Amazon now to try and get my money back for this device because it certainly doesn't do what it's supposed to do.It's supposed to be a security camera and as it's a security camera I should be able to not just view live feed I should be able to review previous recorded footage as I have set it to record to my SD card 24/7 and then when I replay the footage I should then be able to select which bit I want to record so then use for things like preserving evidence of a crime.I can't do that with this device.It doesn't allow me to record from playback from replay and it's downloaded facility doesn't work unless you download less than a certain amount of footage at once and the instructions do not tell you what that limit is and the message given to me I couldn't read it because part of it was missing the part that would tell me how much over the limit I was and why I needed to do in order to preserve this footage as evidence going forward.It looks good it looks the part but you can buy dummy cameras that do the same thing for far less.My advice do not buy this unless you are accepting of these failings.I'll give it zero stars because all of the experience I've had after purchasing this device and trying to use it as meant a complete and utter waste of much of my valuable time to end up finding out that this device is not as described and is not in my view fit for purpose.As other reviewers have pointed out it doesn't record where you need it to record.Other manufacturers devices (which I have in use) do this so there is no excuse for not providing that function in replay.And whilst I initially through trial and error thought I had discovered that there was just a terminology issue that I could use their download facility for replay of footage to save it and preserve evidence as the screenshot shows you're limited to how much you can download. And the message doesn't even show you how much footage you are limited to downloading.This is not acceptable. It's wasted lots of my time. Trying to give this company the benefit of the doubt and the perhaps it wasmy fault not understanding how the device works.In the instructions provided online to me from their support department it does mention other apps you can use so if you are one of these people who are aware of these other apps and are happy to use them with this device then you might be happy with what you get when you get this device.I've never come across these apps before and I don't want to waste any more time downloading them trying to set them up with this camera to then find out if they provide the facility to record in replay or if I would have the same problem with them as I've got with this manufacturers supplied app.I hope people will find this useful. And not unnecessarily long.
