Hi Brannon, thanks for this video. Youre talented in bringing it that way...😁 I'm about to buy the IMOU cruiser 4 MP here in The Netherlands. Thanks to these types of videos we can help eachother , its very handy. I'll toost a Heineken to you Brannon. Greetings , Johannes.
Have you bought the camera? If you did are you satisfied? Is video quality good at night? I would really appreciate it if you tell your opinion on this camera.
I love to kept repeating seeing your video on and on and that was unbelievable !!! It seems like on the early morning when the light comes out when the sunshine start rise ! Omg ! 😲 Unbelievable!!
Really liked the intro. This seems to be a great product to have. Good to see you my friend hope all is well. You reviewing different products makes your channel awesome to watch. See you in the next video. Stay safe
Grüezi Brannon.. thank you for the good clip... you are right its a good littel cam.. i have her since 4days working .. use her for wildlivewatch in my yard... the night vision is great.. thanks and tc.. greets from switzerland👍🙂
I got this camera I like it a lot but when I’m using the to view it it make a squealing noise any way to fix that and is their anyway to fix the time it’s always on military time thanks.
Since the power source will be too far from the Imou Cruiser 4MP camera, I am trying to use the analog CCTV cable( with bnc video and 5.5mm power) as power extension 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.
Hit the play symbol in the center if the video When you do this you'll see at the bottom left the pan/tilt click on that then at the bottom right you'll see a star...there you will be able to set and add your position Favorites😉

Hi. Is the app safe to use? I mean what information does it collect and use of yours as it’s connected to your Wi-Fi and phone. Any help much appreciated.
Hey i have just purchased this and my spot light is going off and on constantly? Isnt there away to keep the led lights on when it detects motion? Tried to look it up but cant find anything thank you?
Easy Peasy.. Press the the play button that brings up live view..then at the bottom left press pan/tilt. Now you should see on bottom right the star for your favorites press that and follow the steps😁👍
Hey Brannon, great video this is my first from you but for sure not the last. a couple of questions: 1. On your installation, power, is connected right away inside? or did any kind of extention, i have a pre existed installation for a future security cam but power was planned to be done by PoE, i understand that is not supported but probaby could have an "extention" with a famale/male connectors? 2. could be add to a last gen Dahua DVR wize? that has + 2 spaces for IP cams? 3. Can be seted to move from point A to B continusly? i mean like a patrol control covering up to those 355 Thanks a lot in advance :)
Thanks so much for these vids! Went with 3x IMOU cruisers 👌🏼 do they need a special micro SD card? I tried to order some Samsung 4K U3 EVO PLUS 256GB cards but was told they aren’t compatible 🤷🏼♂️ thanks again for your help!
Hi mate, thank you very much for good description about the camera.I have already bought it by your recommendation. Could I ask you one silly question please?I would like to use SD card as well.How I can watch what was recording for the day.Do I need to take card out and use adapter and watch on my laptop only? Or it will be saved and I may watch on my phone?I hope you got right my question.Thank you
Thanks for the review.. but I have some questions, I used to have my old phones with Alfred app for surveillance, what good about that is whenever electricity goes off these phones will remain monitoring and recording... I got myself 2 imou cameras (Cruiser and Bullet2). My question is: how to connect these 2 cameras with power bank for example so whenever electricity goes off the will remain on power.

Hi, can I watch the camera feed remotely for example on my phone with only mobile data while the camera is connected to my home WIFI without having to subscribe to a paid service? Can I also access the data from the SD card remotely?
Great video Brannon. Couple of questions: 1. How good is the motion tracking? 2. Is it compatible with Sonology Surveillance Station? It would be great to see a comparison between this and the Riolink. Thanks
Actually I have both the IMOU and The Riolink I like the app better on the IMOU as it connects most every time..the Riolink however almost always gives me trouble connecting 🤬
I tested the camera 3 weeks ago. The product is great, but unfortunately I was not able to connect this with Synology Surveillance Station. It looks like the ONVIF protocol was not available in the camera. I also tried the RSTP protocol - to no avail.
IMOU will be the best in wired backgaul connection and worst in wireless backhaul connection, mine are kept disconnected in almost every 2 weeks from router using wifi connections and one of them refused to reconnected, i've been contacted the manufacture but their answers were still not resolved the problem. I'M STUCKED
Great Review. Please share step by step procedure to set Preset? I have purchase it but unable to find a option to do so Update: I found it :) its under pan/tilt option
I can only find these on eBay here in the uk for official Imou dealer so they say! Anyway, they are offering me one or two at £78. Good deal? Do you think the two year warranty is any good as you can’t really take it back to a shop can you! Was this one the 2mp camera? Thanks for the great review ✌️
Great video, great content on this camera. I was thinking about buying this one given the many functionalities it offers. I have optic cable in place however I do not think I may need to have the camera recording 24x7 and that is why I was wondering if there clear and easy to set setting on the App that allow you to record just after movement is detected either if it is to a HDD via cable or to the Micro SD card...I am quite new to all of this however I do believe having the camera recording all the time is not so useful in my case.... BTW...how does the motion detection works...I mean...how far can the camera detect and start recording? thanks a lot for any insight, it is pretty much appreciated.
Hey friend. I want to ask. What if im use Spot Light Off Color Night Vision but there is no any light on my backyard ? . Is that still have clear view like this? Tq .
@@BrannonNod what type of mode you used on that video when night? Spot light off color night vision or bright color night vision that spot light on? I hope that was spot light off color night vision 😂
Press play on the app. Look down on the bottom left where it says pan/tilt press that. Now over to the bottom right youwill see the star..Hence Favorites👍
Can you do a review video on imou cruiser 4mp please ?? . I wish i want to see it . Just want to see the different and what more magic on that cctv camera😍😍😍 . Only your video i feel trust and happy
IMOU Cruiser generate a lot of false alarms with IR during night due to rain drops, snow flakes, flying bugs. So smart not works as in adv. ❄🌧🦟 - lot of false alarms althought min sesitivity settings. 👎
Everything is good except you tested night vision the wrong way....camera stayed in color mode and tried its best to keep color without turning IC light on....when you set night mode to IC camera transfers to black and white and starts using IC light invisible to human eye.
Unfortunately you would need a subscription thru IMOU it's 2.50 Mon 1 camera or 8.33 Mon for 5 cameras or more..Otherwise you can certainly remove the SD card and copy any of your footage via PC/Mac
Caution Ive noticed that on UA-cam the thumbs up button won’t work on my device it may be messing up on other devices as well. Which may effect your channel. Ps love your content.
To be honest, it wouldn't be that hard to be better than REOLINK. Reolink have major issues with night vision clarity. Very few night vision clips from Reolink are clear enough to identify a person in my opinion, and also in police opinion for the times I had to use it. IMOU is the domestic version of DAHUA, and Dahua is either number 1 or 2 in the world for CCTV camera's, with HikVision being the other. Whether it is number one or number two, depends on a more personal opinion.

Awwww Thanks so much 🙏
Thanks for vid, what's the largest capacity memory card that can be installed.
Nice video. About to order this cam. I think you are hanging your camera too low. Someone can easily take it away at that height.
Cool idea to show LED light feature during the bright day while part of your video was taken at night. Night. This is time to use lights...
so love you videos brannon! gives me insight about the product! thanks a lot dude!
Anytime my Friend🙏
Really liked the intro. This seems to be a great product to have. Good to see you my friend hope all is well. You reviewing different products makes your channel awesome to watch. See you in the next video. Stay safe
Thanks Brother...Have more crazy stuff on the way...No worries I still have Earbuds too👊
Great video which was an enormous hall so thanks. The device is not tracking….do I need to set this up?
That intro was pretty sweet man! Good vid! Definitely good to have one of these. 👍
Thanks so much 🙏
Any idea what is the difference between cruiser and cruiser SE models ?
@brannon no d Will the cruiser when smart tracking also zoom into the moving object?
Great video, is the human detection a paid feature only?
Grüezi Brannon.. thank you for the good clip... you are right its a good littel cam.. i have her since 4days working .. use her for wildlivewatch in my yard... the night vision is great.. thanks and tc.. greets from switzerland👍🙂

hi. i am using it in morocco.
So i bought this camera and set 3 favorite scenes but is it possible that the camera goes back to one of the favorite scenes if i close the app?

Does it can work with NAS devices ?
