vimtag cp1 IP camera 720p $49.5 on ebay after 10 % off

these little thing normally goes for $80ish elsewhere,consifering the quailty and performance,highly recommended if you request survillance needs. got lot of good reviews on amazon

they have higher resloution cp1-x which are bit pricer,but for your everyday needs, i reckon cp1 will do the job just fine.

own one of these, great video quailty and sound recording, reliable an never drop line. wifi range is great in house too.simply plug and play.

    These are great units. Have a P1 which is 960p, couldn’t be happier with the quality, decent unit.

    • wadedgr8 on 13/09/2018 - 15:44

      how long have you had the camera for?
      some long term reviews werent good on them.

      • Xinjiang on 13/09/2018 - 15:49

        Can’t remember exactly but few month now. Only one time when power goes off, WiFi was done, then a simply reconnection fixes the issue. Never had a issue since.

        • wadedgr8 on 13/09/2018 - 15:58

          thanks for the info buddy

  • Yamai on 13/09/2018 - 16:17

    How’s ease of setup on these?
    And what kind of app support?

    • Jonnytheblack on 13/09/2018 - 16:29

      very easy and straight forward,probably takes a minute or two. they both have android and ios app, also online through their main website's protocol.

      for these who are interested, u can download their app 'vimtag' and enter username 'vimtag',password 'vimtag' to experience all their live camera, pretty cool.

  • eswes on 13/09/2018 - 16:39

    A lot of positive reviews on Amazon. I presume you can display the photos and the videos from the camera on your phone (even though they are being stored on the SD card)?

    • Jonnytheblack on 13/09/2018 - 16:46
      +2

      sure can, everything is app accesible,u can either live view or download recorded files on sd card remotely. they do also have cloud storage for people insterested. free for one month trail and $4 sth monthly

      • eswes on 13/09/2018 - 16:59

        Many thanks for the response. That is what it sounded like from reading the reviews but just wanted to confirm. Appreciate the feedback from an actual user.

      • Sonca on 13/09/2018 - 17:18

        Does it connect to home wifi network or need the ethernet cable to run?

        • Jonnytheblack on 13/09/2018 - 17:26

          they connect straight to home wifi network.

  • Sonca on 13/09/2018 - 16:59

    IS it one best on its range guys? Would anyone suggest others?

    • Jonnytheblack on 13/09/2018 - 17:21

      cp1 would be a better choice,they are 1080p. if you are looking for better zooming with detail,you can go for cp-x or p1 model

  • Big DI on 13/09/2018 - 17:00

    What a bargain! I got this product 3 days ago, and want to recommend it for people who want to buy a security camera for family use with budget less than $100. Especially for families with kids and pets.
    The video quality is excellent. With the camera set to its higher resolutions, there may be a slight delay when watching on a phone cell-network. Our experience when at home, is that there is no delay at all. If your home or phone's internet speed causes a delay on its way to your phone, you can reduce the camera's resolution to speed things up. We've decided to leave ours at the crisp-clear high resolution—- it seems too sharp to give up over a slight delay in seeing it from the phone.

  • ltwo on 13/09/2018 - 17:55

    Can the IR be turned off?

    Awesome little camera. I bought one to spy on my dog while I'm at work and it hasn't let me down. Loving it! I found setup instructions on youtube but didn't need to use them in the end

  • arimadono on 13/09/2018 - 18:13

    Sorry for my noob question! How is this one compare to the Xiaomi Dafang? Is there any different in fuction or just different brand?

    • Jonnytheblack on 13/09/2018 - 18:22

      defeintely better in terms of overall build quailty and reliabilty. vimtag only doing survillance cameras and constantly get software updates, thats a big plus for lots customers. you can check video quailty by sign in their account and check the quailty urself.

      • specks on 13/09/2018 - 18:55

        does it go through a server like the dafang?

  • Easy Money on 13/09/2018 - 18:30

    Do you need to use their companion app to view the video stream or can you connect to it via RTSP?

    • Jonnytheblack on 13/09/2018 - 18:47
      -1

      i think for seurity reasons,they dont support onvif and RTSP as yet, did sacrifices some customrs' need but made their app harder to hack? might be wrong but need some professional answers as well.

      • samfisher5986 on 13/09/2018 - 18:56
        +1

        Thats wrong

        The only reason to disable RTSP is so you can control your users.

        • whats up skip on 13/09/2018 - 21:01
          +2

          Agreed. You are crazy to buy a camera that locks you into only using their app and services.

          The reason that most major security camera systems use is ONVIF/RTSP is so people can use the best systems for their purpose.

        • jameswayne on 13/09/2018 - 23:41

          @not a bargain: agree to some extend but not everyone is into that feature. vimtag are capable of rtsp but manufacture has disabled the function,Rtsp are standard protocol to most of the cameras where customers get easy access to live streaming but this will be a lot easier for third party personal to hack into the streaming and get access too. Vimtag uses 1024 bit RSA encryption to secure their streaming and by hiding the access protocol and port in order to better secure the customers' Privacy. Customer like me simply do not need rstp, as long as the product were well structured with easy app and provides continuing support, that matters the most. But from the last support email i have been told they will open onvif very soon.

        • samfisher5986 on 13/09/2018 - 23:44

          @jameswayne:

          No thats wrong.

          RTSP is not insecure.

        • jameswayne on 13/09/2018 - 23:56

          @samfisher5986: not saying they are insecure, just saying depends on the encryption method each manufacturer has used.

        • samfisher5986 on 14/09/2018 - 00:38

          @jameswayne:

          No it completely depends on the software you use with it.

        • Hazza on 14/09/2018 - 11:26

          I agree that its much better to stay with ONVIF/RTSP camera's where possible. So many more and better options for recording than being tied down to a proprietary app.

          I was hoping this was ONVIF compatible, but it looks like it isn't.

  • R1ngSt1nger on 13/09/2018 - 18:48

    Does anyone know if it could be wall/ceiling mounted? Or does it need to stand on its base?

    • Jonnytheblack on 13/09/2018 - 18:51
      +1

      they are free stand,can be mounted upside down or simply place on its base. you can change the view anytime inside app.

  • taurenpally on 13/09/2018 - 18:53

    Can it be set to record to a NAS at all?

    • Xinjiang on 13/09/2018 - 19:24

      Not as far as I know, they have their own DVR box which is optional to purchase

  • R4 on 13/09/2018 - 19:07

    Does this camera use 5Ghz wifi?

    The Foscam that I just bought only supports 2.4Ghz and has been a pain to set up

    • Xinjiang on 13/09/2018 - 19:29
      +1

      They all uses 2.4ghz as the 5ghz wouldn’t be good for penetration through walls so influences a lot on wifi signal, vimtag is fairly easy too connect tho, it depends a lot on which wifi module they uses too. Vimtag inly took a minute to connect and it’s ready to go based on my experience.

      • whats up skip on 13/09/2018 - 21:09

        5GHz WiFi would be very handy to have on a security camera. If you have a quality router you have good range with a 5GHz device. My Unifi router on the 5GHz band goes through brick walls and still provides good speeds.

    • dcep on 13/09/2018 - 19:54

      the 200 bux hikvision has dual band 2.4+5ghz

      • Skyway on 13/09/2018 - 20:08

        got a hikVision myself but seems really over priced, grabbed one this time and lets see how it goes 😉

  • [Deactivated] on 13/09/2018 - 19:08

    Can this be rigged up to use as a skype camera?

    • Skyway on 13/09/2018 - 20:10

      Dont think u can use ip cameras for skype, can u?

      • whats up skip on 13/09/2018 - 21:10

        Definitely not this one.

        Very difficult to do on most other IP cameras. Certainly not something I would not attempt to do.

  • smurfstah on 13/09/2018 - 19:46

    Thanks OP, grabbed one!

  • melbourne guy on 13/09/2018 - 20:02

    Thanks OP! This is my first foray into IP Cameras and will be good for home security / keeping an eye on my cat!

  • ih8un on 13/09/2018 - 20:30

    Tempted but quite a few reviews on Playstore accuse Vimtag of publishing fake 5 star reviews. I especially hate fake reviews! I desperately need a good cheap cam to replace the Orioncam ones I picked up through an oz bargain deal.

    • Jonnytheblack on 13/09/2018 - 20:55

      guess the only way for you is to physically try one to appreciate the quailty. or u can login their test account to see their real live streaming to test out whether they suits ur need.

      • ltwo on 13/09/2018 - 21:20

        was watching those people in the office.

          trust me. you dont want to get your link ones, poor quailty built and cheap no name toy would easily burn your cash. vimtag ones at least their retail is about $80-100 bucks and they have full aussie support through vimtags.com.au op' price seems very cheap, must be a clearance or so, where every body else either on amazon or ebay sell heaps dearer

        • Sonca on 13/09/2018 - 21:58

  • markis on 13/09/2018 - 21:54

    Can you have multiple cameras and control them via the same app? ie, not one camera per phone/app

    anyone got a link to a feed?

    • markis on 13/09/2018 - 23:05

      Never mind, I found out.

      I think I’ll stick with the Xiaomi Xiaofung

      • Xinjiang on 13/09/2018 - 23:27

        Got a Xiaofang too, but thrown it somewhere long ago due to geo locking and previous frenqueny line drop.

    • Xinjiang on 13/09/2018 - 23:22

      you can have upto 32 cameras in one app/account. It’s not only one camera to one account.

  • ows on 14/09/2018 - 10:16

    Warning! Vimtag cam could be accessed by hacker! I saw the cam moved its head a bit when i was sitting at the back of the cam. I was the only one had access.

    I bought a 720p and a 1080p a year ago. 720p is nearly dead, often stopped working and lost wifi connection, also the image quality is bad. 1080p is much better and wider view.

    The cam has fan so it has noise, not suitable for bedroom and baby monitor. Audio has the fan noise in background.

    Vimtag app is slow and buggy. Latest version is better, old versions were useless, just hate it. It still has main issues below.

    I set to motion recording, but they often stop recording a couple of months later. I have to check whether recording works very month.

    It is frustrated to review footages. Cams can be connected via local wifi connection without internet, but it still takes 3 minutes to view 1 minute footage. Also cam's SD card is in special format and unreadable by Windows. Maybe working in Mac?

    The display time of footage thumbnails may not be correct. Thumbnails slowly refresh when scrolling down footages screen. Sometimes they just display same image or grey.

    It cannot download multiple footages to phone, only one at a time, slow and painful. It cannot fast forward playback in the app. If you pause the playback and then continue, it goes back to beginning.

    Timezone is also a problem. The time does not adjust for Aus daylight saving.

    There are more other small issues. One of the latest issue is 200x10mm size of cloud service ad displays on top of app screen. It cannot be closed.

    • dcep on 14/09/2018 - 10:25

      either you or this guy .. fake review/feedback

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/402854#comment-6361591

      so which is which ???

    • Xinjiang on 14/09/2018 - 10:52

      Have to admit the old app was bit buggy but the new one seems lot better, I have a P1 model which is 960p and that was clear enough to me. Can’t comment on the 720p. Time zone problem has been fixed long time ago, never had a problem with the live streaming but haven’t got a chance to use the sd card to store the data so can’t comment download footage. Would assume it Will depend lot on the speed of your local wifi speed as well as phone’s network speed as well.

      A camera moving its head does not mean its accessed by a hacker.

      Although I wouldn't say these would be considered secure either.

    • alison J on 14/09/2018 - 14:04

      They don't have fans inside, what you on about? Sounds like your app is so much outdated, needs to uninstall and reinstall the new one.

      • ows on 14/09/2018 - 14:20

        "what you on about?" - I don't know "what you on about".

        Can someone please confirm whether it has fan build in? Maybe new model doesn't have? Two cams that I bought have fan.

        • Jonnytheblack on 14/09/2018 - 15:00

          theres no fan for sure in my one,not sure they are old or new but will confirm with vimtag for you. fan would be very noisy, are you sure they are fan noise?

      • nzcoops on 02/10/2018 - 09:27

        Yup have pinged the seller.
        Yeah, basically that IR light never goes off in the initial set up phase, tried dozens of power cycles, pressing (or holding) reset doesn't get a response out of any light etc.
