Pros & Cons
Pros
The sv3c ptz camera works seamlessly with this combination of hardware and software. Since it uses onvif protocol it integrates perfectly into my cctv server system. Fully compatible with dvr and onfiv protocol.
The sv3c model, (sd8poe-5mp-hx) is astounding value for money and will not disappoint. The night vision is second to none with a large array of ir leds which glow menacingly. The sony 335 sensor combined with the camera’s high-quality optical lens rea... Read More
Free iphone app, camhi is the latest iteration. Camera comes preset for china timezone (hardly suprising! Was able to set up in the app within seconds. It's as simple as that bhut you can install a wide range of other software.
The panning and tilting give full 180-degree coverage of the front of my house. I also have a static camera from sv3c which has worked well for 4/5 years without a hitch. The camera is still on test in the living room but will fix outside the weekend ... Read More
Lead 1 is the rj45 ethernet data lead, which uses one of the four pairs for power over ethernet, (poe) lead 2 is for connecting and powering it via the supplied small power supply. All connectors and leads fit comfortably inside this small box.
Cons
I have not had any response when i have emailed asking about firmware updates etc. Has internal condensation that can’t be shifted. If i connect directly and force the ir on, all is good, but when set back to auto mode, nothing.
Highlights
Quality
Picture quality is great and night mode although strange colour magenta does the job
Image quality is very good at the price point and night vision is likewise superb
For visuals of the quality images produced by this camera in wideangle and maximum 5 times optical zoom
Picture quality is very good but the ootizac zoom is something special it works absolut magic
Price
I got to say for the price is amazing piece of technology
Overall good value all these features as this price
Packaging/appearance
Was able to set up in the app within seconds
If you want to connect straight to the reolink nvr via poe it wont work so i have to return it because of this
To connect the camera i used the onvif protocol on port 8080

So bought this sv3c when it arrived i plugged in the ethernet cable but didnt get a signal then did some reading about the camera and it is 48v so you need a poe switch which outputs enough power to drive the camera which i didnt realise and didnt realise my nvr didnt output the right power my mistake
