I’m totally gobsmacked by this AUKEY Wireless Indoor Security Camera; I honestly had no idea that you could get this quality and these many functions on a security camera for under £70!

​

This camera is a really neat size at only 12cm high and 8cm diameter; the casing is made from plastic with a piano black finish and almost looks like a little person wearing a helmet, it’s actually quite stylish looking and very unobtrusive. I've got mine on the coffee table, but it does come with a mounting bracket if you want to put it on the wall. 

​

The camera is mains powered and needs to be plugged whilst in use, but it sends the images wirelessly through your internet connection. The instruction booklet is well written and very easy to follow; you have a choice of initially setting it up wirelessly or using the Ethernet cable that comes with it. I used the Ethernet cable, purely because my modem can be a bit temperamental and it was all set up within a matter of minutes.

​

The camera takes a micro SD card, which is can save footage to if you want. You can choose the picture quality, including the option of Full HD 1920 x 1080p; the camera shoots if full colour in daylight and also has night vision, which is captured in black and white. The time and date is clearly displayed at the top of the screen.

​

To me, the amazing thing about this camera, is once you download the app for it onto your smart phone or tablet, not only can you view footage from wherever you are, even if you’re in a different country… but you can actually operate the camera with the app!!! By swiping the screen you can rotate the camera 360°, you can move the view upwards and downwards, as well as zooming in and out. There’s a 2-way mic on the camera; so not only can you hear what’s going on, but they can hear you if you want. You can set the camera to automatically record or record on demand, you can set it so it’s motion activated and also get it to send you alert messages.

​

This is so much more than just a security camera; it’d be great to check on children or a sleeping baby, or an elderly relative who lives on their own or even pets. I’d definitely recommend this indoor wireless camera to anyone, the quality and features are outstanding and as with all Aukey products, it comes with a 2yr warranty.
