IMOU finally gives you the option to select "Solid" or "Flashing" in Spotlight. Night Vision record in full color thanks to spotlights LEDs are now on solid
Thank you. Do you know if I can deactivate the "the flashing" light when motion is detected? I have read in some places that if I want to use the AI Human detection I need to pay a monthly fee, is it right?
The video quality on both cameras are outstanding! The features are almost there, but there are a few annoying things that you had pointed out. The flashing lights, the need for absolute darkness for the IR, the false human detection at night. Great daytime cameras, so so night time cameras. A few more improvements and this company will blow any competition out of the water! Thanks again for all of your hard work and letting us know about IMOU.
The flashing is fixed with the latest update u can now choose between flashing and solid, i have multiple imou’s and the video quality in my situation is amazing and full color at night without using the spotlights!
The tracking function of the Imou depends on the wifi connection, i have 2 cruisers on my property and i used wifi range extenders and they follow motion perfectly also the lights can now be changed from flashing to solid since the last update, in my situation i dont ever use the flashlight because the lightsensor in the imou camera’s is so good just a little light from the street is enough to kick it in color mode without the lights going on, the only delay there is when using the mic, only negative part i have to say about it is that when it’s raining or snowing i get the usual motion notification but i imagine almost every camera has that problem
the cameras I have used, all set off motion events for bugs, fog, rain and snow. Which can also have a camera spinning when you have on tracking.. as well as if you have trees or bushes and wind.
I have the Imou New Bullet (1080p) and here you have an option to turn on the spot constanly when sensing motion. Also detection with nichtvison on is working acceptable. Only if you turn the sensitvity above 4 , I get a lot of false positives from cars that are drive by. They do not enter the detection grid, but there headlights , light my neighbors house, with is enough to trigger the camera. Also anoing is that I set a grid that is only monintoring my driveway, so I don't get an alert everytime I go outside, but casting a shadow in the grid (wich I can't avoid) is also enough to sense motion. So even in daylight the camera can't tell the difference between a person and a shadow. But for a $60 camera it is OK.
The Cruiser footage looks better and less compressed than the Eufy 2k footage but the flashing spotlight is annoying and the siren isn’t very intimidating. Maybe they can release an update with more options to customize in the app.
Amazing Comparison! Please do Night Test for Plate Number. This is absolutely necessary when detecting the car's license plate at night when it is stationary or running. Thank you
I will eventually do a video on this because it is not as simple as you think. Any straight showing of the license plate that I usually do will cause an IR glare for infrared night vision and even a light glare if it is in color with lights ON.
Wow these look great, and can even see plates from far away unlike the compressed eufy cam 2 pros. May have to give these a shot, wish it was wire free though
I bought an Imou camera some time ago, the video effects is really amazing! I turned on the smart night vision mode. Every time I approach the camera at night, the spotlight will automatically turn on, which is very smart.:))
hello, if i may, i think you should mention a very important info and test to reviews for imou, as you know, they are from dahua, that has professionals models with important set of settings options, you should try connecting all this cameras that you review to the professional app from dahua, in europe i use DMSS for android, that alloweds a very important option on dahua cameras, the setting of bitrate, this 2 models from the video, records at 1237kbps on cbr, most of the people don't understand that buying a 4mp camera is not that important, but the bitrate is more important, there are cameras buyed from internet 4mp that records at 512kbps or less, and that is where you see that pixels on the image that seems like they are moving or becoming bigger, and even 1237 is not very good, BUT... connecting with DMSS a dahua professional camera, you can set this option, i ussualy use at least 2500kbps, and there is the fun part, imou is a consumer product and should not give you this options, but i discovered that some imou models could do it, i personaly buyed and tried the Imou Bullet Lite 4mp camera, and made it connect to DMSS and modified the bitrate, and the image is way better at 2500 or 3000 kbps instead of the preset 1235kbps of the camera. You should try on every review if the camera is able to receive the modification of the bitrate from the DMSS because even if the DMSS connects to camera and modifie the values, not all imou models complie to this modifications, so you have to set it, record, and control the video if it has the bitrate that you set, on an Imou Cue 2E, even if i set it like on the others, the camera continues to record at 1267kbps, so is all test that you should do. Of course the Micro SD will fill faster, but the quality of the video is better, if something happens, you usually check the recordings soon after the facts, i prefer better quality and less days of recording.
There´s something that I don´t understand..Do this cameras provide a true color night vision mode without the spotlights on?..And, in that case, image is as clear as a Hikvision ColorVu camera, for example?
I also agree with you with the fishing lights. All other cameras have a steady stream of light when they detect movement so why can this camera. I'm sorry but this is a deal breaker for me. Hopefully imou fix this silly issue
What do you mean about the power cable not being waterproof. Do you mean where it is plugged into the camera? or all of the cable? You couldn’t get them short cables through the wall so the other cable must be waterproof or what good are they??? This had me very confused indeed🤔
I have some annoying problems with my Cruiser 4MP. Settings for human detection only is active but the camera records falling leafs, rain, bugs etc. Do you have this problem to? Thanks for a great channel.
I have the same issue. Camera outdoor generates a lot of false alarms during night with IR, due to rain drops, snow flakes, flying bugs. I not recommed till they fix it. It's not as promised in adv.
before watching your review, i was planning to buy one of theses, but with the human detection not working at night literaly kill my interest. Thank you for preventing me a lot of frustration !
Hi. Can I please ask you if the cruiser in this review or the Tapo 520WS is the better choice? I'm looking forward to the new Tapo Pan and tilt colour PRO coming out. It looks like it will be a good camera. Totally love your work
I found that if you turn off the spotlight activation feature, but keep night vision as "smart night vision", you will get the desired spotlight at night without the annoying flashing. The spotlight activation feature I suppose is their active deterrence. However, nighttime performance can be poor as it needs a lot of darkness for the camera to recognize nighttime
If you do not use cloud storage or sd card where all data will go when regording video or photos...or is it working at all without sd card and cloud storage?
Hi, nice review. Does it can record 24/7 and overwrite in the sd automatically? I have read in some places that if I want to use the AI Human detection I need to pay a monthly fee, is it right? Can I deactivate the flashing light when motion detection? Thanks
This is very strange as I have recently installed the Imou looc bullet camera a previous version to the one you have and the light comes on as you would expect at night and doesn't flash (but it doesn't have human detection), the picture quality is excellent. A backwards step for the new camera version really.
I have a question. I tested the Wifi Detection Tool to determine where the camera needs to be installed. Although I do the test next to my router (i have a 100mgbs connection) the results I'm getting are: PING 261ms Download 5mb/s and upload 5,2 Mb/s with the indication that network status is poor. It is recommended to select another proper location. This is weird.
Damn... I ordered one of the 1080 versions of these. Didn't know the spotlight was going to be flashing. I just wanted something to illuminate the area when there is motion.
hello friend, I just bought the same camera but honestly the image quality is not the same as the video quality. license plates are indistinguishable unless it is a very short distance. my camera says to be 4mp QHD
I bought the Imou Cruiser 4MP based on your intro. Since the power will be too far from the camera, I am trying to use the analog CCTV cable( with bnc video and 5.5mm power) as power extent ion cord. Unfortunately, the 75ft cable won't be able to carry the 12V/1A needed to power the Cruiser4MP. Is the quality of my analog CCTV cable the problem or in general analog CCTV cable is not capable to carry 12V/1A? Thank you for the video and keep up the good work.
@@LifeHackster Does IMOU cruiser and Cruiser SE are 2 different models ? If yes, what is the difference ? Just wanted to know which is top model ? I basically need configurable region motion detection.

I also gave a street light not too far away other side of the street and it goes into night vision just fine. Thanks for raising the feedback. You might be partially responsible for the firmware upgrade Still get a few false alerts night time but seams better than your experience anidotally Maybe they fixed some of the concerns.
Hello there, good job.I will need your advice in which camera has a good recording vision in darkness. My car was vandalized and I bought a the Link camera it doesn't show any thing but darkness at night.Please advice me to by a good camera works 24/7
Hi Pal. It’s prime day 21/22 June. Any chance you could do a quick video on what you recommend is the best bang for buck security cam deals on coming up on offers? Andy.
Yes I have done that but it has not got as many adjustments for the camera as the imou app has and the camera will only install on one app or the other it will not appear on both
Hi, I enjoy watching your videos. Could you please review the SV3C 5MP PTZ WiFi Camera Outdoor with Pan Tilt 5X Optical Zoom. It looks great for its price has night vision and human detection where the camera tracks. There are hardly any reviews out there of this camera and I would like to buy it maybe hook up with an NVR.
Thanks for the review. It convinced me to buy the cruiser. But under my carport the image is a lot darker than me reolink. In the reolink app it is possible to adjust brightness. Do you know a way to adjust this in the imou app?
Camera outdoor generates a lot of false alarms during night with IR, due to rain drops, snow flakes, flying bugs. I not recommed till they fix it. It's not as promised in adv.
After a reset it is possible to enable HDR in the app. This solved the problem. But at night false alarms all the time from flies, and rain. It is possible to adjust the sensitivity, but this won't solve it. And won't give all the alarms during daytime
Thanks, love your reviews and wish there was a fleet of you as you're the only truly detailed reviewer. These cams are basically what I've been wanting. Can you do motion tests where you walk straight towards cameras? I think it would greatly help for people who have cams for their driveways or side of home. Also when motion is recorded in 24/7 mode are you able to see it highlighted on the timeline? EZVIZ doesn't have this and it's so annoying.
I usually don't do straight towards camera testing with wired or plug in cameras because they have pre-recording feature... you will always get the footage from the start of the motion if not before it. I only test this on battery powered cameras.
@@LifeHackster Tried the Eufy 2K again at my front door and it just does not detect people coming straight ahead. I have to set it to sound detection to maybe get someone. Person detection and video quality has been my #1 issue as sure I can deal with the annoyance of scrubbing a timeline for an the times before/after an event but false alerts and no alerts when a person actually shows up is too much. I might try these to see how well they do for my need.
@@ThexDynastxQueen - do you have the battery powered or the wired one? As to doorbells, Ring pro, pro 2 or their doorbell wired are the ones working for me without issues and they detect somebody at the front door 100% of the time and all of them have pre-recording which the recording will start before the person is seen in the camera. I heard that eufy’s AI is not 100 percent reliable..you can also try turning off human detection and see.

Hi, I enjoy watching your videos. Could you please review the SV3C 5MP PTZ WiFi Camera Outdoor with Pan Tilt 5X Optical Zoom. It looks great for its price has night vision and human detection where the camera tracks. There are hardly any reviews out there of this camera and I would like to buy it maybe hook up with an NVR.
well it has been over a year now, i think i will order the cruser hope the bugs are out.
Thanks for the review. It convinced me to buy the cruiser. But under my carport the image is a lot darker than me reolink. In the reolink app it is possible to adjust brightness. Do you know a way to adjust this in the imou app?
Camera outdoor generates a lot of false alarms during night with IR, due to rain drops, snow flakes, flying bugs. I not recommed till they fix it. It's not as promised in adv.
After a reset it is possible to enable HDR in the app. This solved the problem.
But at night false alarms all the time from flies, and rain.
It is possible to adjust the sensitivity, but this won't solve it. And won't give all the alarms during daytime
Thanks, love your reviews and wish there was a fleet of you as you're the only truly detailed reviewer. These cams are basically what I've been wanting.
Can you do motion tests where you walk straight towards cameras? I think it would greatly help for people who have cams for their driveways or side of home. Also when motion is recorded in 24/7 mode are you able to see it highlighted on the timeline? EZVIZ doesn't have this and it's so annoying.
I usually don't do straight towards camera testing with wired or plug in cameras because they have pre-recording feature... you will always get the footage from the start of the motion if not before it. I only test this on battery powered cameras.
@@LifeHackster Tried the Eufy 2K again at my front door and it just does not detect people coming straight ahead. I have to set it to sound detection to maybe get someone. Person detection and video quality has been my #1 issue as sure I can deal with the annoyance of scrubbing a timeline for an the times before/after an event but false alerts and no alerts when a person actually shows up is too much. I might try these to see how well they do for my need.
@@ThexDynastxQueen - do you have the battery powered or the wired one? As to doorbells, Ring pro, pro 2 or their doorbell wired are the ones working for me without issues and they detect somebody at the front door 100% of the time and all of them have pre-recording which the recording will start before the person is seen in the camera. I heard that eufy’s AI is not 100 percent reliable..you can also try turning off human detection and see.
