Sricam surveillance camera review, really functional

Home Hi-Tech Audio / Video / TV / Streaming ,,,,,

The desire for security at home is increasing more and more and IP cameras represent a simple and effective control system: macitynet.it tests the Sricam surveillance camera with integrated siren , which does not require special settings, easy to use and immediately ready for use and a very aggressive price.

Among the innovations compared to the others of the same kind, the integrated siren, to transform the room into a real all-in-one alarm.

From an aesthetic point of view, the Sricam it is probably the most elegant and minimal solution on the market. There are more modern models, while this test has all the appearance of an office IP camera. It is quite voluminous, and does not go unnoticed, unless you hide it in some corner of the house. Beyond the aesthetic factor, however, what matters is its functioning and reliability. From this point of view, let us anticipate immediately, Sricam has proved to be really up to the situation. Later we will explain why.

The first installation of Sricam is really simple and affordable for everyone. The first thing to do, of course, is to download the support application, available for free for iOS and Android. The first pairing is completely guided: it will be sufficient to frame the QR code on the camera to start the pairing procedure.

Few information is required: just the password of your WiFi network, as well when creating an account with name and pass to access Sricam. At this point the room will be ready to protect the house from any malicious persons: the procedure does not require special settings, no IP to configure or anything else that is too technical. In short, it is within everyone's reach. Inside the sales pack, in addition to the camera, also everything necessary for correct operation, therefore a power supply, and a bracket for fixing.

In terms of technical characteristics, this Sricam has a camera with IR-LED which therefore also allows for night use, up to 10 meters. It supports the pan / tilt command, up and down, (Pan: 0 ° -355 ° and tilt: 0 ° -90 °), thus being able to rotate the camera as desired to see more parts of the room and avoid blind spots. It is also possible to set some favorite points, then click a button to have an automatic positioning in different points.

Among the other technical features also an audio with two outputs: this will allow to listen to the sounds perceived by the room, but also to be able to send audio messages remotely to those inside the home. Two audio modes: intercom and two-way audio . With the latter you can speak freely, while the latter need to press a button on the phone display, which enables the intercom. At the storage level it supports Micro SD up to a maximum of 128 GB , while WiFi connections are supported both at 2.4 and 5 GHZ.

As already mentioned, the pairing phase is immediate and during our tests we did not find any malfunctions. In fact, the camera immediately acquired the WiFi signal. If from an aesthetic point of view Sricam is certainly not the best solution, from the functional point of view it is however effective. During the tests, whatever the device used remotely, the camera always responded promptly, showing the video stream within seconds. L

per camera records images at 720p , and the quality is good overall. There are certainly better solutions on the market, with sharper images, but those offered by this Sricam are still sufficient and acceptable: the purpose of Sricam is to control the home, not to record high quality videos. And then, both during the night and during the day, we were satisfied with the video stream shown.

Even more important, and here we must applaud the device, is the motion detection: during our tests it has always worked, sending a notification to our iOS and Android devices within a few moments , as soon as motion was detected. From this point of view, the camera has fully satisfied us, never failing a beat. Even on Android the notifications are perfect , and are immediately displayed on the device: with other cameras of the same kind, however, we had encountered problems in this regard.

Again, where Sricam has an edge over other cameras in the same price range, it is the integrated siren . And in fact, it is possible to set an acoustic alarm as soon as the camera records the movements: not only will an alarm notification be sent to the connected smartphone, but the siren will also sound, thanks to the integrated speaker. The volume of the siren is loud enough, it certainly fails to alarm the condominiums of a building, but it is still an alert signal for any malicious people, who will immediately have the perception of having been discovered.

Application

Just as the aesthetics of the room are not particularly modern and minimal, the application also offers an obsolete graphic interface and not updated to today's standards of graphic minimalism. Rather dated and unattractive screens: on the other hand, we reiterate once again, everything works in the best way. Through the arrows on the screen it will be possible to rotate the camera and orient the lens as desired: also in this case a UI that is not modern, but functional .

Conclusions

Sricam works well, performing each operation accurately and reliably. Not beautiful to look at, as well as the graphical interface of the dated app, but absolutely functional. It does not have cloud recording options, but you are only interested in remote control is really great. Precise and reliable motion detection functions, as well as particularly useful can be the built-in siren to scare thieves and put them on the run.

On Amazon it costs 39.99 euros and can be purchased directly from this address.
