Connecting the ieGeek to your smartphone is a simple process, but it is worth bearing in mind that the Wi-Fi connection it supports is only 2.4GHz. If your WiFi connection runs only on 5GHz , you may have to deal with this first.

It features support for power via a solar panel too if you would prefer to opt for this over relying on having to charge the battery. Whats Included In The Box? What do you get in the box? When you first open it up, you’ll find a warranty card and a brief instruction manual, covering how to install the camera and how to add the camera to their app. FHD Video & Colorful Night Vision & 130° Wide Angle: Infrared lights automatically sense ambient light and switch to night vision mode. Wireless CCTV camera outdoor with LED, a 130° viewing angle, the view distance is up to 65ft/20m, offer you farther, wider and more details during the day and night. The seal seems to be pretty good, as I can’t find any owners reporting a foggy camera lens being an issue. Extra points to the ieGeek! Why Choose The ieGeek ZS-GQ1? Once all the instructions in the app are followed, a live stream from the camera is shown on your phone if it’s working. Hooray!There are a ton of different modes on configuration options, the list of which is far too extensive to cover in this short review, but some of my favourites include the ability to play a siren sound through the speakers on the camera to scare pests or unwanted guests away, as well as the “Audio warning and strobe light” feature. I think you can guess what that one does, haha. How Long Does The Battery Last On The ieGeek 2k ZS-GQ1? The narrow design helps make it unobtrusive too. Since the ieGeek has been made with wide angle recording in mind ( 130 degrees to be precise), the camera is no where near as long or bulky as many traditional CCTV camera designs you have seen around. If you’re like me and don’t really want to make the outside of my house look like a car park or magistrate’s court I’m sure you’ll appreciate this too.

Getting the camera set up is very easy and I have no complaints in this department. Once you’re in the app, it’s easy to configure just about anything you want, such as what room it’s labelled as being in and the motion detection sensitivity. Installing the CloudEdge app will allow you to add the camera’s feed. First you need to hold down the power button until a red light flashes, then follow the instructions in the app. You are then shown a QR code on your phone’s screen. Pointing the camera at the QR code at a distance of about 20 centimeters seems to register it.
