Minipix (Camtrix) Security Camera Actual Review - Is It Worth It? How Good It Is? Is It Just a Scam?

Рет қаралды 61,732

Check out my Camtrix Security Camera review to find out if it’s a scam or legit product, if Spyfocus is any good, if Minipix is a good quality WiFi camera or just a piece of trash. In the video you’ll find out a little bit about the setup (ask in the comments if you need more info), about its features, audio and video recording.. And, of course, you’ll see the actual footage that was taken during the day and in the evening with some rapid movements test. Write in the comments whether you think Camtrix (or Spy Focus/Mini Pix) is a good security camera or not!
Also if you need info about Camtrix batter life, let me know in the comments - I'll measure it for you.

I tested one of these cameras. It requires an Android app be installed from a website, not the Google Play Store. It needs to be taken down and put on change every day. And it contacts an IP address in China.

Thank you very much. I was curious. I appreciate the work in your review. I currently use the Alfred camera app my brother put on an old smart phone for me. It worked great as a peep hole camera until they started making their own cameras. Now a few things have changed. I can still see who is at my door better than looking through the peephole ❤

Also, the tape is really bad, 15 minutes at best for sticking. Let me know if you got any hints to what I did wrong or I need to adjust. thanks again Richard

It's a scam if they don't provide you with the service you have bought into. Where you see the video footage from a infrared camera being used with the voice over exploration of the HD night vision feature thats not true to the device's capabilitys. Maybe showing one thing while describing another isn't against the law but it certainly is deliberately Installing buyers confidence by misleading them to believe the product they are looking at is the same as the one they are hearing about. So in that context they are trying to Con people into buying their products without apology. And you're in on the con if you try to claim otherwise.

@seandoherty-uw7yx 5 ай бұрын

I've also been approached by doggy online popups to review their products and received completely different devices from the one's they ship out. I ordered the rugged smartphone from Duggie e6(same phone hardware as the Almoof M1) and night and day compared with what they asked me to review so I did my review on the actual phone you get and they were not happy with that saying it was a prototype model that was sent by error (must have use the same software to organise the delivery I imagine) the good thing about it is that they sent me a other one so I sent them back nothing, I kept both of them opening up the two phones good and bad to see what they were doing. Basically from the looks of the components and build quality they went no exspences spared. Them devices cost more than than £500 in hardware alone software was a hacked Blackberry prosser diligently scised with their branded 36s full entro startup using borrowed CGI backdrops graphics and on the animation screens savers in demo phone 1. A complete 7s clip from last year game interstellar2. Did they have rights to the gaming industry hard expensive programmers? I thought not The phone I bought from them looks like a chimp put it together with hammers! Nothing short of a miracle it's working at all by the amount of soldier holding the capacitors in place. Talk about trying to save money on manufacture! Was missing screws and glued down instead. I've a video of it but was taken down like every other thing I exposed.. Canccel it an it never happened....

This camera is being heavily promoted as a Canadian Engineered device, and that we Canadians should opt for it. I have, from other KZfaqrs, who said that it is also sold under a different brand, that is Made in China. For me, Chinese or other manufacture is OK if the quality is there. From what I saw, I believe that the selling price should be at max, about $150.00, Canadian dollars, anc come with attachments. The lifespan of the device, due to what appears to be a non-replaceable rechargeable battery, is about 3 years. I will check it out in one years time, when I believe, competitors will have their products available.

Exactly, where are the products that do not connect out of your network to a server somewhere goodness knows where, were any creepy employee/owner can screen camera footage for their side gig in voyeur porn filming you while you get undressed, etc. It seems pretty simple to provide a device that simply connects to your router and streams a live feed to any device. Sure, it's requires an operating system on the device running some basic software, but there are plenty of options out there to do this.

I will keep my Blink cloud subscription at a few bucks a month and batteries only needing replaced every two years as they are Lithium. Oh and you can buy this junk direct from China for eight dollars with free shipping. As they say, you get what you pay for. Oh and this so called company. They are not a real company with a product. All they are doing is drop shipping to you from China with a several hundred percent markup. There should be laws against this
