Best £40 I've ever spent!

Post by iR8V10 » Thu Jun 30, 2011 9:00 pm

Just bought a wireless security camera for the garage to keep an eye on the R8 from anywhere in the world, works on a PC, Laptop, even my iPhone!

You can pan and tilt, capture a still or video, set it to detect motion and send you a picture to an email, it has night vision too!

This is the picture now inside the Bunker, it's pitch black in there and still sees this!

Image

Can't beleive it was only £40, you can set multiple cams up on your wireless network to monitor your home and garden too!

Not been so impressed by a product in a long time!

If that's the best £40 you've ever spent you should take a trip to Amsterdam! :bigblink:

Didn't know Audi did an R8 hatchback, bet that gives a few surprises.

That is good. Mate had something similar, but he had them in his bedroom so he could keep an eye on his wife while he was away. lol

How are they mounted ? Did it come with brackets or would it need a shelf to sit on?

It comes with a mounting bracket or it can free stand.

Think i'll be investing in one of these as an extra.

CCTV is good, but checking on your car on your phone whilst away is a brilliant idea :thumbs:

I've found it works best in when you have a wireless connection when checking on the phone, {•3G etc doesn't seem strong enough to load it. Hey, it's £40 quid!?

Bumping this thread.

I have just bought one of these and can't get it to work on wireless unless it is plugged into my router?!?! Is this normal? Any advice welcome. It's on a Mac too.

I have two of these but it took me an age to setup - had to hunt for guides on the internet. I eventually changed my BT router to a Belkin as it wouldn't allow me the access to the cameras. I had to write myself a setup guide, i'll see if I can find it. I'm using PC, not sure about macs.
