I give it a star for the quality of the materials since it is plastic and not metallic like others. It is bulkier than analog ones, probably due to IP technology, I don't know.
The image is very clear both during the day and at night. Of course, I have it outside, in a spot with shadows from a tree, so it cannot be illuminated neither during the day due to contrast nor at night with IR. However, it works well when it is close.
For the setup, at first, I accessed it through the router and found the static IP it received, then I entered it in the browser which prompted me to set a password. The instructions said that in order for it to work, I had to change its IP, so I did that too. After that, I added it to the recorder with the new IP and its password, and it works fine. To show it on Hikconnect, it requires activation from the camera settings (instructions are provided on the paper).
