For the price it was purchased at €81, it is a very honest camera for what it offers. The image is quite wide-angle to cover an area such as a yard or an entrance, but with the use of the second lens, it can also be transformed into a "telephoto" to monitor points from much further away. For your information, there is no true zoom, but essentially one lens has a magnification of 1X (2.8mm) and the other somewhere between 5X and 6X (probably around 10-12mm), and what it does is (fake) digital zoom to cover the intermediate magnifications up to about 5X where it switches lenses and shows a true image from the second lens; anything else above that is also fake digital zoom so that the manufacturer can claim it has 12X zoom. Also, at night in zoom mode with the second lens, it focuses accordingly and the IR beam adjusts to "target" even further; don’t imagine anything amazing, just one IR LED is flood type for close distances and the other works like a lens for further away, so they light up accordingly to adjust the lighting based on the distance we have set the camera. The zoom never happens automatically; wherever we set the camera, that’s where it will stay, along with the zoom and the angle it’s looking at. The automatic tracking of people and movement is among the worst I have seen; many times when, for example, a car or a person moves from left to right, the camera turns all the way left to frame it in the center, only for the car to have already moved to the center and is about to exit the frame to the right, at which point the camera, having lost tracking, remains looking all the way left. Its problem is that, unlike other cameras that wait for the moving object to get close to the center of the image to track in the direction it’s moving, this camera, as soon as an object enters all the way left, will immediately turn all the way left, thus losing both the direction of movement and the object that ultimately exits the frame in the opposite direction that the camera is searching for. Finally, the speed at which it tracks is excessively slow and there is no adjustment option; if a vehicle or a person passes by quite quickly in front of it, the camera will not be able to turn at the speed it needs to effectively follow it and will again be left looking in an irrelevant direction, very often in the completely opposite direction from where the object that was being tracked ultimately ended up. In short, the tracking is in a primitive state and shows that the camera is not just cheap but cheaply made. The only useful thing this camera can do with movement is to be placed in a spot with a panoramic view and for us to check in when we are away from the area to look around to see if everything is OK; if you leave it to monitor the area on its own, it might end up chasing mosquitoes or its own shadow, and at the critical moment when it needs to record something important, it will likely be looking in the opposite direction. It goes without saying that the nonexistent and dysfunctional tracking earns it a minus one star in the rating. The microphone, even though the "noise filter" was disabled, still records almost nothing unless someone is very close to the camera or makes a lot of noise.
At night, it is quite sensitive, and if there are 1-2 lamps on the road, it can operate without IR, only with color image, just like during the day, but not with the corresponding clarity to see faces or signs clearly, especially if they are moving. If we want, we can additionally activate the white LEDs that work as auxiliary spotlights. The menu, like almost all Imou cameras, is non-existent. One can only set it up exclusively from the mobile app, and the options provided are limited to the fingers compared to other models. There is no menu where one can enter the camera's IP and find all the settings and see live footage; Imou has eliminated such luxuries, and if someone wants live footage, they must have a PC with smartPSS or pay for the service package to have a permanent Android device as a monitor without interruptions every now and then. Minus one star for this. There is neither an option for a static IP, nor for a second user, nor for changing the "motion sensitivity" depending on the distance, etc. All the "advanced" settings such as video codec, noise filter, brightness, auto restart, etc., can only be done through a computer and the SmartPSS program. Minus another star for the stumbling block that Imou puts for its customers. The video resolution reaches 2880x1620 at 4096Kbps while the encoding is H.265, while the downside to all the above video features is that it records up to 15fps; it cannot go higher.

Obviously, this specific model is aimed at simple installation without many demands and customization, so a little care is needed in choosing the location where it will be placed. If you consider it as a fixed camera with very good resolution of 2880x1620, the ability for manual zoom to monitor distant points, you want to occasionally check the surroundings from afar (manual as well), the price suits you, and you plan to use it in combination with other fixed cameras, then go for it; it’s just fine! However, do not rely on it at all to track a suspicious movement and record it as well; it is a big risk to use it as the only or main camera to monitor your space!
