VIMTAG3K Light Bulb Camera Outdoor, 2.4G WiFi Cameras for Home Security, Color Night Vision, 360° View, Motion Tracking & Alerts, Waterproof, Compatible with Alexa, Cloud/SD Storage

This is not the best bulb camera that I’ve owned, but the fact that it works with Xfinity internet, it didn’t take more than 5 minutes to set up, and the app doesn’t collect my data is enough to give it 5 stars.Cons: Picture quality isn’t the greatest. The siren/alarm isn’t loud, I want something that will wake my neighbors and scare people away. I’m still trying to figure out the most effective way to view clips/playback, because the app isn’t as user friendly as I would like.Finally, I feel secure using this bulb because it does what I bought it to do.

I can't say enough good things about VIMTAG camera. I have purchase two types of cameras from them 4 in total. If you are looking for security camera on a budget, do consider these. Setup is very easy! You will need wifi to operate them. You can use cloud storage or SD card for continuous recording and can even save clips to your phone. I use them indoor and outdoor. I like the 3.4k picture better than the 2. Something. You also control everything from you phone. Very convenient!I reached out to customer service having problems with one of my cameras saying SD card failure I went through everything I had done to fix it and they came to the conclusion it was defective and sent me a new one.I will definitely be purchasing again and I tell everyone about them!(I did turn my camera to show my yard more so I wasn't taking pictures of my neighbors house)

I have 4 different cameras from 4 different manufacturers. All of them work reasonably well, They all have thier own quirks. This camera was probably the easiest to set up. I didn't do anything special, just downloaded the app and signed up, then went through the steps. Actually, all of them were pretty easy, just for this one everything clicked and I didn't have to redo any steps, everything paired and connected the first time.Using the app, the Home Screen doesn't seem to be quite as busy as some of the other ones. It does seem to be quite a bit quicker to connect and give a picture than the other ones. I don't think that the picture quality is as good as the other cameras but, that could be just the environment and lighting. It's still pretty good. It seems to have better quality during the light than in the dark. But that may be pretty standard. One of my other cameras has excellent picture quality in almost pitch black. I'm just using this for basic viewing in a home that's basically empty right now, so for my needs this camera works just fine. In the App Store, when I downloaded the app, the app rating was pretty low at 2.1. Many of the complaints focused on the app being glitchy, and the recording with an sd card not working well or at all for various reasons. I have not tried this out myself so far but, if that might be an issue for you, definitely do your own research on possible problems before purchasing.There are a couple of things I really like about this camera; one is the fact that you can use it in the up or down position. For instance, it comes with a bracket to hang up high, like in a porch ceiling, but you can also sit it on it's base and use it like a baby cam, which is what I'm doing now while monitoring my other property. I just didn't want to poke holes in the sheetrock to hang it. For this, there is a setting that you can change in the menu to flip the screen that works very well. Another thing that I really like is in the app and it's in the view screen. In addition to the flip feature, the view screen lacks a directional pad or arrows so you actually pan and tilt the camera by sliding your thumb or finger on the screen and the camera will turn in the direction you choose. This allows you to use either hand to move the camera and doesn't restrict you to using a small part of the screen in order to do so. Most of my other cameras have an arrow pad usually on the left hand side of the screen. Im right handed and have a little better dexterity on that side so I really like that I can use either hand.The pan and tilt mode are a little jerky and delayed, but they work and get the job done. One other thing that I liked that I failed to mention earlier is that It has a microphone so you can talk to whoever is in the room you are monitoring. I have tested this out and it works very well. I know it's a common feature on many camera's, but this one worked very well and allows me to communicate two ways with very good clarity.Overall all, although it's not my favorite camera, I do believe that it works well, it's easy to set up and get started, and it gets the job done. If you want to record, you definitely want to do your research about any glitches and bugs related to the sd cards and draw conclusions from there. Otherwise, it think this is a nice camera with good basic features. It works well for me, and I recommend it.

Can not connect to my dvr or the app

I have been buying these types of cameras for about 3 years but I buy the new ones that pop up on Amazon from time to time. The listed specs of this particular caught my eye, 3K/6MP, I was excited by this because I never came across one with such, most are 3 or 4MP.This camera is a poor 3MP at best even though the app has settings for HD and Ultra HD. Talking about the app, oh good heavens lol. The app is soo poor, no arrow settings to move the camera, no option to view playback from SD card, no option that allows surveillance of a particular area and it lacks other basic features I see on other apps. I did see an option to playback recording in 1x, 4x and 12x where it skips in seconds according to the option chosen. The app is garbage, I am soo serious about that.The camera also fails to detect motion, it did the first time and walked passed the camera, waved me hand in front of the camera and the movement would not register at all. You only get one notification whenever it detects movement and clicking on it just bring you to the homescreen of the app. Other apps take you to atleast the still shot saved by the camera. Motion tracking does not work, seriously it does not work. The flashlight is okay.The packaging the camera comes in is superior to all other cameras I have ever bought. It is really nice and professional. That's the best thing about this camera. Already started the return process, some cameras are bad and you just keep it to catch dust but this one, there is no way I'm letting my 23 bucks slide on this one.Can't wait to get my refund and I think Amazon should stop carrying this camera on their site.
