Buying Guide For A Standalone Camera
IP Protocols– Make sure that your camera is supporting ONVIF or RTSP protocols. It will ensure the compatibility of your device with other devices.
Power-over-Ethernet- Instead of running a separate power cable and ethernet cable to each camera, the Power-over-Ethernet feature allows you to transmit power over the data cable itself. It is hugely convenient as you can use ethernet cable runs for a longer distance.
Waterproofing– It may be worth adding an extra layer of sealant around the camera to provide extra protection. So ensure about your product that it is IP65, IP66, etc. protected.
Resolution– When dealing with IP cameras, the resolution is measured in pixels. A device with 4Mp is far better than a device with 3MP.
Night-Vision– For viewing the cam at night, IR Lights, Spotlights, or Floodlights are attached with the device. These days Starlight cams and EXIR LEDs are more in the norm as their night-vision mode is stronger.
Storage Capacity– Most IP cams these days have an SD card slot available for them. Recording on the Cloud is a very good option. Though it is a bit costly, the recording is safe in the cloud.
Wireless– Check that your device is wifi enabled, and if it is wire-free then even better.
Sensors– A device that is motion and sound sensor-enabled is the need of the time. If it has an anti-deterrent facility attached with it, then even better.
Warranty– Warranty & after-sales service tells about the company and its policy. If they are good then the user is tension-free.

Users’ Response For Z-5 New Cam
Batowtow from the US says about it, that
- I previously ordered a diff model of Amiccom cam which I sent to my family in the Philippines. I want to be able to test it before I sent it to make sure it works great. Upon ordering another cam for my home, I saw that Amiccom has a newer version of the previous cam so I gave it a shot. This camera is compact and works well, videos were clear even at night and connected easily to my wifi, and has no issues.
- I installed a 128GB micro USB to save the recordings, no need to pay a monthly subscription like a ring, etc to be able to access the video recording which was a plus. If you are looking for a great outdoor cam and don’t want to spend a lot of money and not pay a monthly subscription for cloud services, I suggest giving this camera a shot and you won’t be sorry.
Robert Chiefari says about the product that
- Likes: Plugs in (no batteries to recharge). Nightvision, Great quality color daytime video. Video playback on the Jawa App is nice (need an SD card – see below).
- Dislikes: The motion detection sensor/alarm is VERY sensitive (even on low settings) bugs, cats, and blowing bushes made this thing alarm 30-40 times the first night (I shut it off).
- Installation: After trying for over an hour to bind the camera on one phone, I finally tried a 2nd phone, and reset the camera to finally get it to bind. Installed the camera outside in 3 mins.
Kevin suggests that
- The device was all right for a little while and everything worked until the power went out due to a car accident someone hit the power pole and took out power for the next 12 blocks up and the power came back on finally and I tried resetting the cam but for some reason, it would not pick up our internet signal even tried resetting the modem and router by unplugging it and plugging it back in which worked fine because everything else reconnected back to the internet except for the camera.
- Of course and I would hit scan on the app and it would not show my 2.4 Wi-Fi bands so I tried inputting it manually and still nothing but it would still say internet connection established and with the green light rapidly still blinking which means it’s still trying to connect to your internet per: the directions.
- So I tried resetting the cam and then uninstalling the app and reinstalling the app and it still would not reconnect to the internet. It would still show on the app that the cam was offline and yes my phone was connected to my 2.4 Wi-Fi bands while trying to connect to the cam I must have had a piece.
- There must have had a piece that goes bad inside the cam that connects it to the internet signal, I would not recommend this cam because if your power goes out there may be a piece go bad inside your cam that will not connect to the internet. I ask that you use caution when it comes to buying this device that stays connected to the internet and running 24/7 if that’s what you’re planning on doing maybe just spend the extra money and get a better camera system.
Should I Buy It?
If you are looking for a cam that is low in cost and high in function then you can opt for it. If you have to monitor your courtyard or the front door and you simply want to see the happenings around and your area is not a very dangerous zone, then this cam is perfect for you. It will protect you and sensors will alarm you.
Conclusion
Any cam is installed for security and safety. Whether you are mounting it indoors or outdoor, it will equally perform better. It has all the modern functions to safeguard you. Though it is not a very sophisticated device still in the low price range this is a master cam.
