SV3C Model C22-5MP PTZ WIFI camera

Review of SV3C Model C22-5MP PTZ WIFI camera:

This camera, besides being of a dome design, with the lens and ptz mechanisms being permanently inside the bubble, is similar to the SD10 cameras with some differences noted here. The zoom is digital only rather than optical, the night vision is infra-red only without the bright white LEDs needed for night color capability. The LEDs are located permanently around the top ring, therefore do not move with the camera when it pans and tilts. Also, the camera supports 5G wifi in addition to 2.4G wifi.

The original camera I ordered had some problems, particularly its tendency to disconnect from wifi after a few hours and would not automatically reconnect without cycling power to the camera. This made it difficult to test the camera features, so I eventually sent it back and ordered a replacement, which unfortunately did not solve that issue. The problem also persisted with another router, while all of my other wifi cameras including other SV3C models worked perfectly. I can only assume that a problem exists with this camera’s wifi feature, so I will be hardwiring it to my local network as a work around until hopefully a software upgrade is offered to fix the problem.

Initial setup: I opted to use a patch cable connecting the camera directly to my router, to find the camera on the network. Once connected, the router client listing displayed the IP address that was assigned to it, and then I was able to access the camera’s web page and change the IP address to what I wanted and set it to static and connect it to wifi. Then I removed the patch cable. It easily connected to my IP Cam Viewer app for Android or CamHiPro. I also connected it to my existing Amcrest NVR by using the ONVIF support.

Mounting: I removed an existing fixed bullet camera and relocated it. This camera could not be mounted on the same box as the bullet camera mounted under the outside roof eave, so I made a simple wall-mounted wood L bracket and the camera mounted to that. The soffit material wasn’t strong enough to mount the camera to it directly.

There is a choice of connecting the camera to 2.4G or 5G wifi. This camera is only 12 feet from the router inside the house with a single wall to get wifi through, so I was surprised the 5G only showed 30% signal level ( I know that at 5G the wifi does not penetrate walls as well as 2.4G), but 2.4G came in strong at 100%.

Video quality: With this camera set to maximum 5 MP resolution the daytime video is sharp and clear. The night vision using the infra-red LEDs works OK as long as the camera view is set to a little bit of a downward angle. If the tilt angle is close to 90 degrees (horizontal), the camera induced reflections of the built-in LEDs make the picture almost unusable. This happens with no other external light sources visible in the scene.

PTZ presets: This camera uses presets to predefine a ptz location so you simply enter the preset number and it pans and tilts to the co-ordinates that you previously saved. Note that this camera does not have optical zoom, so the digital zoom position is not saved as part of the preset information. There is not a home preset that I could find, however the camera remembers the last position that was selected manually, and will return to that position after auto-tracking. Auto-tracking works OK, but is easily outrun by a person closer that 10-15 feet from the camera.

Alarms, push notifications, 2way audio, siren all seem to work ok.

This camera performs well, particularly indoors and in daylight conditions outdoors, is very compact for such a camera, and is supported by a very responsive sales and tech support group.
Overall this is a good functional camera, but currently at the same price, their SD10W ptz camera has more features and would be my preferred choice.

First of all, I’m already a fan of SV3C cameras. I’ve had other brands prior to using SV3C and once I tried a couple of their cameras, I was hooked. They make a solid, reliable, camera for the money.

This camera is no exception. It’s a well built dome camera, with a metal housing, and all the moving parts are inside the dome. It has an IP66 waterproof rating and will withstand the elements when mounted outside. It’s easy to setup and you have a couple options on how to do that. It is ONVIF compliant and can easily be added to your NVR/DVR setup. You don’t need an NVR or DVR to use this camera. You can just use the free CamHi or CamHiPro phone apps. The camera will connect to your home network via a standard ethernet cable or by 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz wifi.

The camera has a 3.6MM lens and is digital zoom only. There is no optical zoom on this camera. In the video that accompanies this review, the shed you see in the upper right corner is approximately 100 feet away from the camera. The “burglar” is about 10 to 20 feet away. The camera has humanoid tracking and does a fair job of tracking a person, unless, as you’ll see… the person is running. It’s not fast enough to keep up. The yellow box you see briefly appearing around the burglar is a feature that can be turned off. It will still track, but without the yellow frame. I find the yellow frame annoying, so I have it turned off on all my cameras.

You can setup “presets” to save different camera positions. Each preset is assigned a number. Think of it as speed dialing for camera positions. Sure beats having to pan the camera manually all the time.

This camera has 2-way audio. You can converse with someone standing near the camera. Audio quality isn’t great, but is good enough.

You can connect to this camera on your home network by typing the IP address into a browser. You’ll find a bunch more settings that you can tweak by accessing the camera this way. You can have the camera email up to 3 pictures for each alarm event. You also have the option of sending pictures or video to an FTP server. You do not need to subscribe to anything.

Night vision on this camera is just OK. It suffers from the same drawbacks as every other dome camera out there. Stray light can refract on the dome and make it harder for the infrared to reach as far as it could and light up the dark. I plan on moving this camera to a covered porch where there will be minimum stray light at night. That being said, you can tweak the brightness, contrast, and saturation of the night image. In the night footage of my video, the first burglar run is set to the default image settings and washes out the burglars face pretty bad. I knocked the brightness down a bit for the second nighttime burglar run. OK… he’s not really a burglar, but he is pretty shady. 😎

Even with the night vision issues, I’m very pleased with this camera. For the money, the build quality and features make this a solid purchase.

The best motor dome I tried so far!

Bought several cams from this company now as I consider them the best and easiest to manage. Both types (the ones that work with CAMHI app, that is the simplest one, and the ones that work with CloudEdge, the newest) work perfectly fine.

This is motorized dome, that looks and works perfectly fine, and is easy to manage. I was not able to place it on it’s final location but I was eager to review and share with other Amazon users, so I temporarily held it to metal staircase just for testing purposes.
I played with it enough to see that the quality of it is great. Super crisp image in both day and night.
The quality of the camera looks solid, great construction and material. It looks really neat and pro.
Holding it to it to the ceiling should be super easy. It has a ring that you first screw to the ceiling and then insert and slide/twist the camera in.
Camhi is the app that manages this camera, super easy to manage. It has all you need. Realtime view, camera movement, alarm alerts, smart movement tracking (see video attached for a short demo), 2 way audio, and SD recordings access. Available for IOS and Android.
It can also be connected to HiP2P client on computers, and manage it more like if it was a DVR system.
The auto tracking/motion detection seems to be very accurate, and the alarm notifications work like a charm.
I’m super happy with the purchase and I will probably buy more of these to put together a circuit.

For me, it is a total 10/10.
Leaving here a short video of the CAMHI app and camera working on IOS. Check it out. (excuse the mess, just came from a trip and was opening the suitcases).
