it doesn’t work

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2023

it doesn’t work with win 10 or with win xp you can’t change the settings in particular the date.

I started the return but there were problems due to the dangerous content of the batteries and it is therefore stopped in customs, I asked the amazon assistance service several times about the return methods but they were not able to provide me with correct information, the amazon assistance service has always provided different indications at first also not to return the item which would have been refunded anyway, so I find myself without the item I spent money to return it and I am not refunded due to incompetence on the part of amazon customer service they were wrong with the various and different misdirections and now i have to pay. If the amazon managers are able to see this review, I invite you to verify the skills of your operators.

Happy with the purchase

I had tried several "nanny cam" Chinese made cameras. Most don’t work at all, much less as advertised. I returned 3. I ordered the Camscura box. Refreshing to have an English manual and a product that worked as advertised! Happy with the purchase.

Good security camcorder but need to rewrite the user manual

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

It’s a good security camcorder, and it can record in total dark by using internal IR LED. Note that the quality is reduced a lot with IR LED recording. So, make sure you have enough light and turn IR LED off if you want quality video.
It has 3 recording mode Continuous, Triggering and Custom. The user manual has detail how to setup using the software for Custom mode but none for the basic of using it and explain its features. I learn how to use it by searching on youtube, and still searching for more information. Tech support response is good but still not fully answer all the questions. I think that the company must rewrite the user manual.

Integrated IR Illuminator ??? 🙄… But Great Night Vision With Zetta ZA22…

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

Recently purchased one of these directly from BHS, and returned it due to an inoperable IR illuminator… I then purchased a replacement through Amazon, only to find that it too did not have a functioning IR illuminator. I tested both units under low-light conditions pointed towards and 12" from a white wall. If the units did in fact have functioning IR illuminators, their IR emissions would surely have been detectable at such close range. There was no evidence of such IR emissions from either unit. I called an reported my finding to BHS, whose rep insisted that it did in fact have the advertised built-in IR illuminator. I then pointed out to the BHS rep that the users manual for the unit does not show or otherwise mention an IR illuminator. Bottom line… If this camera does have an IR illuminator (which I can find no evidence of, whatsoever) its worthless, as it cannot even illuminate a brightly colored wall at 1 foot away… 🙄… However, when used with the Zetta ZA22 this unit is a very effective night vision cam with excellent recording times… I’m getting 11.5 hours of recording time on a full charge with the recommended 64 GB MSD card.

Low quality video

Video quality is supposed to be HD but is grainy and low quality. Also very poor in low light, despite the fact it is supposed to be for that. Wish I could return it but it’s too late now. Just bought a Mobius now and it’s awesome, does everything I wanted this one to do, with excellent video quality and is cheaper!

Better documentation needed

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

Unit is capable ONCE you figure it out. Documentation is mystic, looks like a quick translate from Chinese. Also uses older FAT32 format, which Win10 doesn’t support, so formatting chips is frustrating. Brickhouse needs to spend the time on a better video, and MUCH better written documentation.

Gives a pretty decent picture compared to other cameras I have tried

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

Gives a pretty decent picture compared to other cameras I have tried. Also, it is fairly easy to change the SD card whereas some other cameras tend to freeze when this happens.
I would point out that the description of the product ‘Low Light’ is accurate and it will not give you a picture in darkness. Movement will still set off the sensor but unless there is some light, you cannot see anything. The User Guide that accompanys the product calls it a ‘Night Vision’ camera and the instructions refer to night mode but, to reiterate, it does not give you a picture without light.
