CG6 2K Wireless Cam

We bought three of these for a friend with a homebound wife so he could check on her when he went to do things. Setup is a breeze, mounting was simple and straight forward and they are crystal clear. All 3 show on one app and they are truly wireless... not like many that state they are, but need a powe source. He's 93 and he can operate and use the app just fine. Very nice solid construction. Not Cheap feeling at all. Compares to Arlo for a fraction of the cost. No cloud service needed to just check in with no recording.

These are good cameras and are a staple in my home. They are easy to connect wirelessly and use remotely. The picture quality is excellent and the camera has a night / low light setting. The audio allows the user to communicate with visitors clearly (and shockingly), depending on wifi strength. The system has a mobile interface that connects several cameras at once and allows for easy remote viewing. Camera connectivity is generally stable and cameras themselves have lasted better than a year - even outside and exposed to the elements. For all of the above, these cameras are very cost-effective and can often be had in bulk. Highly recommend these cameras and have purchased for myself and others.

So... These cameras work, BUT, there are some things to consider: 1 - The time and date on the cameras WILL NOT update properly if your internet connection is poor. My cameras currently show the timestamp from the 21st of June (6 days ago), and not today. Even though it is still recording in real time. 2 - If you go around your cameras a lot, they will go off A LOT, regardless of the motion detecting or any other settings. This is good, but, gets rather annoying if you have your phone on you, and suddenly get 20+ notifications because the camera detects every little movement that you make and notifies you. 3 - These cameras need to be charged. They do not take batteries. You plug them in and charge them. So far, my batteries last about 2+ weeks if there is nothing to detect. The simple recording live feed does not take much battery life at all. It is when it detects motion that the battery begins to be used a lot. Overall, for the price, these cameras are worth it if you need a simple security system to detect motion and alert you of anything suspicious. It has great options and they can be placed just about anywhere.

The camera was heavier than I expected... feels really solid. Setup was easy and flawless. Picture quality is good and seems to be working fine. A very nice camera for the price.

I have now owned this product for almost a year and I am beyond impressed. This product has absolutely changed my quality of life. We live in an apartment community with very heavy foot traffic in front of our front door. For months we were being harassed by some bored teens in the neighborhood. They were vandalizing our holiday decor, stealing our packages, banging on windows, and it made living here unbearable. I decided to purchase these cameras and I am so happy I did! They arrived packaged very well and were a breeze to install and activate. The image is fantastic even during the storms here in Florida. The motion sensor is quite accurate and the app can alert you when certain actions are detected. When you use the premium service you can map out certain zones in the camera view and receive alerts when something moves in that zone. The app is able to determine whether it is a creature, human, or vehicle. You can view the feed live as well. The cameras have the ability to become a speaker so you can talk through them if needed but I have not tried this feature yet. There is also a spotlight and alarm that can be set off but thankfully we have not needed these features. The only negative thing I can say is that the audio quality isn’t that clear. I can hear voices but it is very difficult to make out what is being said unless they are within a foot or two of the camera. Not only did the cameras deter the teens from continuing to harass us but we were also able to protect ourselves from faulty claims made by the property manager. One of their employees flicked a cigarette into some mulch in front of our patio that started to catch fire. The property manager had initially blamed us until we provided the footage. I have attached photos of the image quality using night vision, regular night time, day time, and the video gallery. I would HIGHLY recommend purchasing these cameras for true peace of mind. The product is fantastic and the app is very user friendly. 10/10 🌟

After reading reviews of many brands I purchased two Dzees cameras at the same time and received them on March 22, 2023. My main needs are dependability, affordability and long battery life. For this review I'll refer to them as camera #1 and camera #2. Initially, both cameras were easy to to charge and set up. Both cameras had strong WiFi signals and 100% battery levels. Camera #1 was installed at the front of my house and camera #2 at the rear. Both cameras are installed beneath the soffit of my roof and have unobstructed views of the area they are aimed at. During my initial testing I discovered that camera #2 would not detect human movement unless it was within 12 feet of the camera. Camera #1, however, was able to detect human movement at about 25 feet. So I returned camera #2 as defective and received a replacement on March 28, 2023. The replacement camera (camera #3) was easily charged and set up with no trouble. As with camera #2, camera #3 showed a strong WiFi signal, 100% battery level and was installed in the exact location as camera #2 was. Camera #3 worked flawlessly with normal human detection range and long battery life...for about 7 days. This morning, April 5, 2023, I awoke to find camera #3 offline and unresponsive. Nothing I could try would bring it back online. Meanwhile, camera #1 continues to work flawlessly and after 16 days of use still shows an 86% battery level. One other thing I'll mention is that a firmware update was completed for both camera #1 and camera #3 on April 3rd and was successful. Did this have anything to do with the demise of camera #3? Who knows but this whole ordeal has been quite disappointing since the number 1 need that I have for a security camera is dependability. Should I have given these cameras a 3 star review? Well, camera #1 has been a 5 star so far and cameras #2 and #3 have been 1 stars so maybe an average? In closing I'll say that I have ordered camera #4 this morning and it will be here on April 7th. This will be my last attempt at this so camera #4 better redeem the Dzees brand. Big shoes to fill indeed. Edit 04/17/2023 - I charged, set-up and installed camera #4 on April 8th with no problems. On April 16th, for absolutely no reason at all, camera #1 has gone offline while camera #4 is still online. I have been able to determine that a camera going offline can be manually turned off and back on to bring it back online. Unfortunately, this is hard to do if you're away from home. In conclusion, I've decided that these cameras are just not dependable enough for me to risk my home security on and I'm reducing my rating to 1 star.

It's very surprising that these cameras actually work, they have functioning nightvision, and the video quality is perfectly good. I've had them for 1.5 years. The problems, though, are substantial. 1) The WiFi reception is quite poor. I bought a WiFi extender just to get the connection better when they're right outside in the yard, 25ft from the house (I could spit out the window where the WiFi extender is and hit them), and they still sometimes report bad reception, and are still slow. My phone has no problem whatsoever getting reception in the same locations, playing YouTube videos, etc. 2) They try their best to get you hooked onto a subscription (renting the cameras and never really owning them). They do this through disabling any motion activated recording past 20s, and disabling your control of a cool-down time between motion activated recordings 3) They're slow. Sometimes there's a 30 second delay between movement, and an alert to the movement. Other times it's minutes of delay. The responsivity to commands and interaction is quite bad. Usually there's about a five-count, at least, between selecting something on the menu, and an actual response to it. And a lot of the time, it won't do what you commanded at all. 4) The SD card management, recordings access, and recording settings is terrible. The recording settings actually do not even really exist. Good luck trying to pull up past recordings on the SD card. Good luck figuring out how to set it to record to the card. I currently have three cameras, all with cards in them, and only one of them right now is showing any videos saved to the card. And it shows no recordings past the current month. And there is no guidance online whatsoever as to whether videos are always save to the card, or how to save or access them. Overall they're probably worth it for the price. The hardware is remarkably good for the price. The battery life is even good. But the connectivity, integration into the network, and management of recordings is bad. They need to work on it. If I knew of another camera with decent hardware that did a better job of user interface and connectivity, I would have bought it instead.

I have several different battery operated cameras around my property. I put this one on my screened in porch because delivery services tend to place packages in here and I have a door that leads into my home from the porch. This camera was the perfect size to go in there because I didn't want something that "stood out" while relaxing and my other cameras were quite a bit larger. Pros: -Neatly packaged and very simple to understand and install. Once the camera was charged, it probably took me roughly 20 minutes to install. - Looks great! Looking good is half of it, right? Small and sleek, it looks modern and is not an eye sore. - Has good camera quality as you can see from the photos attached. I didn't include a picture of the night vision, but it works very well also. I think you could easily identify any uninvited guests if the occasion called for it. -The Siren is a new feature that none of my other cameras have and I could easily see where that feature could come in handy for certain areas. I don't keep it on for this area all the time, but if I was away for vacation or out of town I would probably turn it on. I think it's a nice feature to have and if you don't like it, just turn it off from the app! Unknowns: -Weather durability is something that due to the install location, I can't say much about. It will stay out of heavy rain for the most part. I do live in the south where humidity is extreme at times, so I will update the review if I have any issues. -Battery Life is also something I can't speak to currently because of the time I've owned the camera. If I have any issues, I will come back and provide an update to the review. I do own several cameras like this one and I typically can go 6 months on a single charge. There are a variety of factors that play into this though like if you keep motion detection on 24/7, camera quality on HD vs SD, how often you are checking the camera on app, etc. Cons: The only con I have has nothing to do with the camera itself, which is why I didn't deduct a star. The APP used with the camera is my only "setback" about this camera. Again, I own several other cameras that use a different app and the other apps just seem a little more user friendly. Plus, this app consistently pushes you to upgrade to their "paid" services, which I have no experience with. Still, you get all the features I have on my other cameras for free, plus the option to take it further if you wanted. I just wish they didn't push it on you or gave you the option to "opt out". The App is also ever evolving and could be upgraded over time. That's it! In summary, this is a great little camera for the price and gives you A LOT of extra security for a very fair price. Hope the review helps.
