What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
The night quality is far better than the other reviewer suggests (see picture). Great image quality and easy mounting instructions. Worth the money, easy to install and easy to set up.
Works great with the tp-link poe switch and a synology nas. I have it hooked up to both a hikvision nvr and a nas for redundancy.
Pay attention to the focal length. At 3 mp, you actually get security camera footage that is worth something! Please note that attached picture is at 1mp and not 3mp. Mp is exceptional on this camera.

Price
For the price these cameras are a good value and work good with my synology surveillance station
I really like that ip cameras are available at this price point
I could have used a 6mm for one use case but could not find one on amazon i see one now for about 2x the 120ish price
Competitiveness
Be careful that seller is selling a us or european model because the chinese models need to be hacked to show english
Turned out that more half of the cameras i have were made for chinese market which firmware was patched to display english
Securemind supports onvif but thats not best setting for the hkv camera dinking around with it indicates asoni is a better option
The night quality is far better than the other reviewer suggests see picture
