[@bradleys.cooper7665]

Always like watching your videos! very informative!!

[@notenoughtech]

Thank you Bradley

[@ronm6585]

Thanks for the review.

[@floriahe3960]

Thanks for your content! Really enjoyed this review:)

[@notenoughtech]

Pleased to hear it ;)

[@lindsayreid8347]

Is the stream always 15 seconds delayed or is the delay only when used with a smart app like Alex or Google play? Many thanks for the review - as always, interesting and detailed.

[@notenoughtech]

Yes the stream lags 15 sec behind buffering?

[@lindsayreid8347]

@@notenoughtech Gosh - fast reply! Many thanks. I wouldn't mind a second or two but for door alert/monitoring then 15 seconds is not really good enough.

[@notenoughtech]

Another approach would be to pull it from RSTP. It would be local so down to seconds for connecting time and real time stream

Thank you for reviewing the Camera. I'm looking for a camera in our Campervan, does this have USB power or can it be connected to the 12v power of the leisure battery.

[@notenoughtech]

It's 5V 1A via supplied brick, has dedicated jack but you could split the wire and connect a usb charger. Just check the polarity

[@523aguamarina]

@@notenoughtech That's brilliant, thank you for the message

[@marcusbirghammar532]

Thank you, I bought three of them after watching your review 👌🏽

[@notenoughtech]

Hope they will serve you well

[@sebastown]

I can use it without the cloud, only SD card, and still see recorded footage (motion alerts only)?

[@notenoughtech]

Yes you can. You will be also able to use your PC and NVR

[@thatnoone]

I love your new intro and of course your vids. keep it up, keep safe

[@notenoughtech]

Thanks man! :)

[@shankly1985]

Thanks for the review. I have a question about the Windows software. Can I record directly to the PC or do i need to buy the NVR? Kind Regards

[@notenoughtech]

Yes you can record directly.

[@shankly1985]

@@notenoughtech excellent thanks

[@bigfella6629]

I bought the zoom model, very impressed with it so far.

[@notenoughtech]

Nice to hear! :)

[@bogorad]

A kinda obvious question: can it be hacked? I have no use for a camera without MQTT ;)

[@notenoughtech]

Not opened it before. But since there is RTSP you can translate the MQTT to that protocol via nodered server

[@bogorad]

@@notenoughtech i also like to send commands :) like with Dafang-hacks.

[@notenoughtech]

From what I understand you'll be able to move camera capture the stream and maybe even get a motion events real time.

[@bogorad]

@@notenoughtech the point is - having a remote (internet) MQTT-server and controlling the camera from afar.
