This is my second Switchbot camera (the other one is 2MP version) and must say that overall the setup, quality and responsiveness is a great step up!

Unboxing:

Quick & fast setup with the Switchbot app, integrates easily into the ecosystem of curtain bots and the hub. You scan the QR with the camera and everything is ready to use, under 5 mins.

Camera view:

Of course the most important, where this camera is really great with panning and zooming around, the view is very wide (can capture my entire 7 meter wide living room). Also the angle up and down works perfect when trying to track your pets across the house. The quality is amazing, both day and night its clearly easy to see what you're looking at. This requires a good connection with your Wifi station to provide a good bitrate into the app to livestream the camera view though.

Overall:

Its a small and easy to install camera which you can use day and night with a few nice features. The app works well with the entire ecosystem and setup is quick and fast. Some features like streaming to PC or accessible via internet would be great but overall amazing product!

Review about the SwitchBot Pan/Tilt Cam Plus 3K

Packaging:

The package contains the camera, charger, and USB to USB-C cable. It’s all in well-protected packaging.

Setup:

Setting the camera up is as easy as downloading the app, pressing a button, adding the WiFi password, and scanning a QR code. After installation, a firmware update can be installed, and it’s ready to go.

Pros:

• Good price for a 3K camera

• Quick response for turning/alarm/2-way audio

• HD/SD option

• Ability to turn sound off

• Privacy mode where the camera turns inside

• Both cloud and local storage

• Silent while turning

• 360 degrees turning

• Ability to follow objects

• Auto pilot (turning the camera by a schedule)

• Ability to zoom in

• Loud alarm

• Night vision

• Quick contact with support

Cons:

• No RTSP for NAS storage

• I have seen sharper 3K footage

• Zooming in doesn’t always go very smoothly

• No homey (smarthome platform) integration (yet)

Ich habe diese Kamera vor etwa einem Jahr gekauft – es ist bereits meine zweite SwitchBot-Kamera. Die Videoqualität ist scharf und die App ist wirklich super, sehr benutzerfreundlich und voller Funktionen.

Ich habe Wifi 7 zuhause und ab und zu trennt sich die Kamera einfach vom WLAN. Auch sehr schade: Die Kamera unterstützt keine 5GHz-Netzwerke und funktioniert nur mit dem langsameren WLAN-Standard 802.11n. Außerdem ist die Audioqualität vom Mikrofon verbesserungsbedürftig.

Tolle Bildqualität, tolle App, aber beim Ton und der WLAN-Stabilität gibt es definitiv Verbesserungsbedarf.

Je l'ai mis dans ma maison entre deux chambres et c'est très cool parce qu'il a la vision large et peut prendre en vision beaucoup de choses.

Les fonctionnalités sont très bonnes, il se mets en privacy quand j'arrive à la maison et s'active quand je sors. Il a le détecteur des mouvements et des personnes et même l'alarme.

La seule chose est que ça ne fonctionne pas pour moi pour voir l'image quand je suis sur ma ligne téléphonique, ça marche seulement sur le WiFi, mais apparemment c'est un problème seulement lié à mon opérateur téléphonique et l'équipe du Switchbot est en train de résoudre le problème. Pour info je suis sur Bouygues.

This is an amazing product for it's price. I bought it to set up outside my door so I can know who comes by. The picture is in color and comes out super crisp and the sound from the microphone is clear. The device can pivot 360 degrees and has a fairly good range for moving up and down. I see I can add more than one camera and may purchase a few more for the perimeter of my house.

It was super easy to install - I just added this device onto my Switchbot app - and I am very technologically shy. I continue to be a fan of Switchbot and its devices!

Reagerar lite väl lätt på ljus och skuggor... Så en del "falsklarm" blir det. Men annars är det inga problem.

I have a mainly Ring and Blink camera set-up throughout my home but have never really got on with their mini versions so when this was offered to me through the Vine program for review I saw no reason not to give it a go and it is a decision I don't regret.

It was important that Alexa is supported and I can confirm this is the case though I would have also like HomeKit Integration as I do plan on moving over to that in the future.

Setup was a simple matter of downloading the app, switching the camera on and hitting add device, the camera was found immediately and on connection automatically updated to the latest firmware.

Picture clarity is excellent, motion detection & Human detection work flawlessly and pan tilt is easy to control.

I have a very clinical desk setup so wanted something that didn't detract from this, the main purpose being as an added layer of security when I'm away from my desk, this definitely fits the bill, I particularly like that it isn't on a flimsy stand so sits securely on the desk.

For those not keen on a free standing camera, a mount is supplied in the box.

I may have to look into more Switchbot products if they all work as well as this.
