ZUMIMALL 2.5K WiFi Outdoor Security Camera, Plug-in, 360° PTZ Auto Tracking

I was skeptical about this purchase after trying to do the usual search online for reviews and videos. There just weren't many. And many times the description on Amazon is kinda janky and doesn't give really good specifics. I purchased it anyway. So here's the long and short of it. The app setup is simple. It gives audible directions and I had no problem with setting it up in less than 3 minutes. After mounting it over the carport, it took a while to get it tweaked for basic surveillance due to us living in town with traffic, both vehicle and foot. After several days of learning the camera features and many adjustments, I've been letting it do its thing for a few days. The video quality is very clear. After 2 nights of using the full color night vision, Ive started using the high definition black and white night vision. The clarity is Far better and the spotlight doesn't activate to capture video. Its stealthier that way. The ability to mark off certain zones for surveillance works well. Mine is set to the absolute corner of our lawn and it will pick up someone stepping one foot into that far corner. What I really love it the tracking and blocking. If it senses movement, it will rotate to the target and show a block around it. Then its tracks and videos the target wherever it goes. I have it set for human detection only in our driveway. My wife can drive in and park without it alerting me. But the second her foot comes out the car door, it immediately blocks her and starts following her movement. Lastly, and I just found this last night. Ive set 3 different preset zones for viewing. Instead of panning around to see what's afoot, I can pick one of the presets and press it on the app. The camera goes automatically to that spot. Overall, great purchase. Easy to setup and operate.

Been in use for several months. Solar power is perfect. Focus is good. Tracking target is super. Several widow ladies who live in the complex come home after dark and like the fact the light comes on and the camera follows them. They feel safer. We are close to the laundry room so almost everyone has seen the camera follow them, some even waving at it. DOWN SIDE: Does not pick up movement of target is departing close to the limit of its view. It has sometimes appeared to activate on sound and then the target is seen. Not sure that is true. Instructions on replay are very unclear, but this is what I learned. Open the app, on the bottom is "home", "Message", "Explore", "me". Select "message". Select "Smart Humanoid Detection". If there is video for the day, they will display. If you have the time, select the oldest video, if in a hurry, select the image. If you press the image itself it will get larger, BUT THE VIDEO WILL NOT PLAY. To see the video, you must select the little circled arrow to the right. It takes an unreasonable amount of time for the videos to display. Once it does, in the upper right corner is what appears to be a stylus (if you select this, the entire list of videos display with the stylus replaced by "Select All". This is how the videos are deleted). Select the icon which looks like a conversation balloon. Use that as a slide and move towards the next video. This is indicated by a marker on the history line. You can go to the end, return to the start, select what video you want, but you will not know which it is unless you are keeping track of the times you want to see. A list of videos display with a message "LIVE". To the right of LIVE is what looks like a file drawer. Select that. Now a time line displays vertically on you screen. You can use this as a slider older to newer, back and forth. Keep an eye on the clock in the upper left corner. If the seconds pass by quickly 2 at a time, it is looking for the next video. Once it gets to the next video the seconds slow to normal speed. The video can be jerky or sped up, or skip so a person walking, for example, appears to jump several steps. The video tracks the target quiet well, but is jerky, still it does not loose the target. Turning my phone on its side for landscape view, I can zoom in on target for a closer look to see clothes, hair style shoes, color of car, body style. But I have not found it is good for license plates yet. This unit does have a light for night time. IR sucks as a weak B&W, so make sure you turn the light on. It triggers when the target is close and shuts down after target is out of view. Video or picture is sharp and clear. I live in an apartment complex but I endeared myself to the maintenance boss, so I mounted the camera on the end of the building attached it to the aluminum gutter, directing this one to my F150. Residents have stopped to look at the camera at night and sometimes I guess they hear it in the daytime. I learned real quick to shut off the microphone as I am not interested in butting into their lives. I spite of the privacy nerds, if you are walking in a parking lot you have no expected right to privacy. If you do not want to be seen, don't walk back here. But I can control what I hear and choose not to pry into their lives. It took me awhile to figure this out. But now that I have I enjoy watching it. Before bed I look at all my cameras (a Camstro over my wife's car (1st one I bought, not real enthused about it), and outdoor blink cameras under the eaves of back and front door as well as Blink door bell cameras (love the close up). This system has all I wanted and I am happy with it. Between seeing a car approaching our building and folks walking past I can monitor all I need.

I love these cameras. I had vivint cameras and sure the strobe light and beep is way better the price difference is massive. I can watch all my cameras at one time at all times with no issues. The other paid cameras wont let me do that and always interrupts saying are you still watching? Its cameras it always watching dont stop my monitoring!!! The ai subscription is affordable and is very good. Telling the difference between different events. The cloud records motion and you can get notifications in real time. You do have to get a memory card to go back to see things that didnt trigger a motion detection but well worth it. And its wifi so no long wires. My only wish is that I can get more than 4 to watch at one time but ill live with it. I love this product!!!

These are good little cameras. I use them to watch my horses around their barn area. The only reason I give it four stars is that there is a bit of delay in the video. Not terrible, but it's definitely not real time.

This is a great camera and performs better than any I have seen! It has a clear, crisp video and can be adjusted to whatever motion sensor you wish. It never has to be charged because it plugs into an outlet for power. It has color or black and white, human or nonhuman sensors, audio, siren, and security light that can be set for different scenarios. Best camera on the market and can’t beat the price or reliability. I use an SD card as well. Great customer support!

Since June 2024 I have purchased over 10 of these units (auto tracking) and have had nothing but problems with them. Setup was easy and the reason I committed to acquiring additional units, my last purchase being made Dec 2025. I first started to have problems within a few months after installing. The most common problem I have seen is the motorized nimble which engages the left / right movement stops working, the up / down is OK. I notified Zumimall Customer Support who then mentioned in 2024 yes there may be a problem with the internal wires, so I decided to dismantle the camera and did find one wires powering the left right gimble motor basically was broken in half. I suspect the wires are too brittle for such continuous movement and "snap". Of the 10 auto tracking cameras I purchased 6 have failed, 4 from snapped wires and 2 other failed from unknown reasons, power up with red light flashing. At first I was pleased with the customer support from Zumimall....there offered a 50% discount on a replacement I cover shipping, or would provide a partial refund....while nice I recently reached a point where I was spending too much time either trying to repair or fix cameras which failed, my 6th failed two days ago and decided enough is enough time to let others know these are prone to failure. I attached recent email text from Zumimall I received from them admitting to the problem. I provided a photo of the wire breaks I have experienced, the photo shows the break however it was taken after I had stripped insulation from the ends....at failure the break is clean with no exposed wire, breaks always same location, can be any wire. I have repaired 3 of the cameras wire failures and the cameras work again but I feel a matter of time the wire will snap again. NOTE: I have 5 of the solar powered 2.4GHZ cameras from Zumimall, none of these has failed and still working. They do not have the auto tracking feature which probably save the wires from snapping.

Based on what you found, it appears that one of the wires may have come loose or disconnected. If possible, could you try reconnecting it and see whether the camera is able to move normally again? Indeed, for PTZ (pan-tilt) cameras like this, such issues can occur in some cases. Since these cameras contain internal motors and mechanical components, over time, a number of units may experience a failure in one direction of movement. This is a known issue in the industry, and we are continuously working with our factory to improve the internal structure and stability. Could you please take a photo of the label/sticker on the device and send it to us? This will help us report the case to our factory for further improvement.

The camera works great! It's the 3rd one we have purchased. We tried another brand and it was not nearly the quality it said it was. I got rid of it and purchased the 3rd Zumimall! Because we have 2 already, the camera connected easily to my account and Wi-Fi with no effort. It came with sufficient cord for me to mount the camera on a tree and still have the solar panel in the sun. The picture quality on HD is very clear. Using the features is simple and easy to navigate. I tested the alarm feature and it's very loud so be mindful of your neighbors! It has a pet and human detection which is accurate. This is the first of our 3 cameras that we chose a solar panel and now wish we had done it for all of them! No worries about the charge! We will certainly be buying more in the future!

Good product,install was easy and it works perfectly

Trae un delay como de 3 segundos, y la pantalla se congela, mucho ruido al girar
