cheap chinese ptz camera

Recommended Posts

I bought 2 cheap Chinese ptz ip cameras - C-p05(EN)C -, they worked ok for a while but now some of the functions don't, tilt works ok but pan does not, also auto tracking stopped working

it is exactly the same for both cameras so I suspect it is the software/firmware that has gone wrong, I have no reply from the seller so I can't get any help from them

they are cloud based using the YCC365 Plus app

has anyone else had any of these and had the same problem?

Hi. Just put them in the bin 

 

first ….. they now charge each month for cloud (feel free to send your bank details to China). Not many would

 

cant do anything else with the cameras as there proprietary software … made to collect your data

 

here are the terms of you using there camera and cloud

dont send them back it’s just more money you will waste …. And costs more than you paid for cameras

 

i don’t know why countries allow these cameras inn 

when you first registered your cameras you agreed to all this

I didn't subscribe to the cloud, just let the free 1 month run down, I don't like cloud based cameras because if the internet connection goes down then I don't have access

can you recommend an ip PTZ that is not cloud based?

Hi it depends on your budget 

and how your going to record the footage

ptz cameras are good if used right and along with other camera

its the auto pan tilt that lets it down …… one minute it’s watching someone  then it turns away 

mid it ptz cameras you need or a 4 camera system
