Energizer 1080P Smart Wi-Fi Indoor Wired Security Camera (Black or White) EXPIRED

There's a whole bunch of smart(ass) devices from Energizer Connect which is just another vendor licensing the Energizer brand. The camera could be similar to wyze/xiaomi/clones. Also the resolution is 720p as per the official website.

What's pron? '
Look, its like this....Everyone who's seen 4k understands that statement. During covid when all the restaurants, bars and gentleman's clubs were shut down, I had nothing else to do and stuck at home. My new internet friend told me to try 4k, I might like it. Being the intelligent, open-minded and devilishly good looking person that I am, I did try it. Not to be overly long winded and wordy with this, i wont' tell you all about the experience, but I will say... once you see 4k, 1080 will never look good again. It's a one way street. You can't unsee it. So spending money on 1080 makes absolutely no sense now.

And you don't really want to show others that you're rocking the 1080p camera. Thats like showing up for a date or a meeting with a big wad of spinach on your front tooth. They won't say anything, while you can hear them, but you and the 1080p will be talked about for sure. I can just see that group of hackers that wear that silly sneering French clown mask all talking about me and my 1080p after they hack into the chinese Energizer cloud and spend a couple days just watching me on the camera, throwing back French beers and wines and cheeses and laughing at me. But if it was 4k, they'd notice, and respect it and me and just delete my mac, ip whatever out of their hacker tool database. That's a reason that's not as obvious, but it is a reason. Don't say I'm paranoid or it can't happen... we all know how we felt after Snowden blew the whistle, not that it mattered or slowed it down.

Again i don t want to get all lengthy with this post, but I just had to put in my 25 cents. 25 cents isn't much now, so lets say my $1 worth, wait no $5 worth.

Oh and i'm not in for one, because well, so I'm paying for video data out and in, in order to use this. Heck now. These companies are out of control with data usage. I mean Xbox is insane the amount of data, and then this new type of steaming gaming, cloud backups and storage, auto playing you tube, etc. etc. But if it could be used without that cloud stuff, then no, still wouldnt buy. I want little cameras that nobody can see in side of the house, except for the nanny/maid cam. Give them a false sense of security when they know they are outside of the range of the obvious cam.

Oh, and does anyone know if this works on Linux as a web cam? That might change my mind.

no, regular security cam. i already have unreliable 2k 15fps eufys and crappy 1080/15 wyze. i'm ready for 4k/30. zoom would be nice but i think those will cost hundreds.

My cat would set off motion detector.

Work with blue iris?

Quote from cho9736 : Can it detect motion behind window?

I'm sure it can, my Kasa can do that. If you place in a window looking out, you probably want to a paint a piece of hard stock paper flat-black, with a small hole cut in it where it looks out the window. Put this in front of the camera and it virtually eliminates window reflections of the camera and room, and disguises that you have a camera in the window.

Bigger question is whether it can work not connected to the web with just a micro SD card? My cheapo Kasa does this so I don't need to pay them $3 per month (only access on my local network, no access from the web when out of the house.)

Can this be used without the Energizer app? Maybe set up with a local server or visible through something like tiny cam?

Quote from Lekz : Can this be used without the Energizer app? Maybe set up with a local server or visible through something like tiny cam?

Same here. I've been using Tiny Cam Pro for 15+ years with mostly Foscam cams, but with a few TP-Link and D-Link cams. Maybe 12 total. Every one of them works with Tiny Cam.

If I bought every cam deal on SD and used the cam's proprietary app, I'd have at least a dozen apps on my phone with no idea which one to launch to see what is going on where.

In for 2. I expect I'll be returning them for terrible quality but I'll try anything once.

Edit: if white won't let you checkout buy the black.

Any suggestions for a camera that'll work overseas? Wyze does not, apparently. Wanting to set up a camera in my living area where I'll be staying for anti theft

Quote from coachclass : All these people putting up cloud-connected INDOOR cameras...even if you're not putting it in sensitive areas of the house, it's still really creepy

it's 2022, you can't pull back... use it when on vacation or checking on your kids,pets, worth more than your "creepy" concern.

All reviewers got free products.

Like, I'm going to trust them. Not.

It's licensed to some sham Chinese company. NOT made by Energizer.

You're getting what you're paying for.

For the motion sensor how long does it record, different brand I have has increments of 1, 3 and 5 minutes which are good file sizes. The all day mode files creates in increments of :30 mintues, which is great because you can download reasonably sized files, this one says it has one file for the all day mode, which if it true, you lose everything that was recorded and no increments so you'll have a 128GB file , that don't make sense.

Battery cameras are useless.
