- Buy it on Amazon: amzn.to/3oH8Vbj or Aliexpress: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9zabva (Affiliate links) This is a review of one of the most affordable budget outdoor PTZ IP security cameras on the market. I got this from Aliexpress and it cost me $37 including shipping which is really cheap for a outdoor PTZ IP camera.

Important Note: this will NOT detect body heat to trigger white LEDs (in darkness), or trigger the alarm push notifications. There is no PIR sensor on this device. There is a photocell sensor to detect low light conditions, but this is not the same thing as a PIR sensor.
The description about the "3 night modes" is a little confusing. To clarify, when in low light conditions "OFF" means it will only use the IR lights, so images are black & white. "ON" means the white LEDs will remain lit full time, and images will be in colour. "AUTO" means that in darkness, the white LEDs will come on and it will record in colour if anything in the image changes.
Therefore, if you set it to "AUTO", and it is installed outside, in darkness, even the smallest change in the image such as a flying insect, a leaf blowing in the wind, or a rain drop flashing by, then the white LEDs switch on and it will switch to colour recording, and the white LEDs stay on for around 2 minutes. The white LEDs attract more flying insects if installed outside, so basically the white LEDs stay on constantly throughout the night.
Other than this drawback, it is a decent budget IP camera. It's not full HD recording, but daytime image quality is okay, probably 720P and not 1080P as advertised. The frame rate however is a bit low, maybe 10-15fps. It's a bit tricky to setup as local AP only (if no WiFi available), and some of the important settings are missing in this mode, but the app is fairly user friendly. Playback is not great either. The slidebar timeline is overly sensitive, and it is easy to skip too far. It also records in blocks if using a TF card, so you cannot always immediately view the past 3-5 minutes, but it does eventually allow you to view any moment captured on an internal TF card.
This is the best budget IP PTZ camera I have bought and tested, but some features in the camera and the app still need much improvement. If you have the money and want all the missing features, you should look at investing in a NVR with WiFi capabilities.
Hope this helps somewhat.
Installed it myself without any issues. The wifi signal is great even ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxE_D_sddGAdiVUKp7PkkmyxO7bRtgqmk5 when the router is located far away. I really enjoy the night vision feature that allows me to see clearly any activity near our house (mostly cars and wild animals). The motion detection is helpful to me as well to monitor what happens on our front.
Love your review...thanks, I always wanted to buy cheap cameras. Good work!
It's perfect for when i hear something outside and wanna take a look around And make sure no one outside messing with my stuff
Good review. Thank you! It helps me a lot.
The problem with all these cheap camera's these days is that they work with an app on your phone giving away all your privacy but if you simply want to setup the cam on a local ip network and acces it with a pc, then it becomes very hard.
For the price it's really good, we sometime expect to much to little money so this isn't really bad at all pretty decent.
I used to own one of these Besder camera's and binned it because it was incredibly unstable.
It would run for a few hrs then freeze for no apparent reason. I tried it wirelessly and
wired and even bought a wifi booster. Save yourself time and hrs of frustration and buy a
camera from a branded western company.
For the price it's actually better than I thought it would be. Nice job.
Quite nice review video, informative.
Thanks for this vid buddy
Even cheap cameras work great out of the box, but the key metric to consider when buying is longevity. Cheap infra-red LEDS always burn out, and rain and severe cold does damage them regardless of whether they claim to be weatherproof. If night vision is important to you, don't get a cheap camera. Best thing you can do is augment the weatherproofing yourself.
some recommended brand of microsd and what capacity does it support for this camera?
Very good presentation.. Excellent. Keep it up.. 👍👍👍
Great video thanks 😊
Pretty good value. Thanks for the video
Its amazing to see people live so crammed together.
Excelent review👏😉
Great video. Question: do you need to be connected to the same internet as the camera in order to view what it sees or any internet connection will do. I have no internet where I want to place the camera so a repeater is an option but it creates a separate wifi and if I am at the other end of the house my phone and camera will be connected to two separate networks.
Thank you for the video! Very helpful (-:
Glad it was helpful!
Nice review, thanks
Refreshing good review!
Great video!
Is it possible to connect multiple cameras to the same app ? Can you have two cameras running and check them simultaneously on your phone?
hey Securitybros greetings from Ecuador i got a questions. Its this camera compatible with cctv witch i could record in a DVR?
Nice video, thank you :)
This camera has no zoom, so its not really a ptz, just a pt, but it also has audio and it has tracking, like if someone walks by it will follow them, very cool! Also I have it connected to my dvr security camera system, so it records to it instead of the cloud or sd card, only downside with this is it records 24/7.
Gday Can you http into the camera on the LAN/Local WIFI without an Mobile "APP" ? Does it have an IP address and HTTP/HTTPS server ?
For one of the cheapest camera this is very good thanks alot
Good review. Very useful info...thks
Glad you liked it
Can we set only for motion detecting or you can set on motion detetor with sound detector together?
Love this video
This is the reviews that need to be made. Expensive cameras should be good and don't need to be reviewed.
i have seen a lot of
Solar Power Security Cameras do they work ??
they run on 2 or more 18650 batterys
Hi what cable do you need to connect to the DVR thanks
Thanks for sharing
maybe i missed it, but how does the recording work? does it automatically record all day? or only when motion is detected? or only when you press record? and can you download it into your phone? or should the micro SD be removed from the camera?
Also, i see those 3 cables, do i need some sort of special connection for it?
looks good for the money! I ordered one today tnx for the info!
Is it good
Dose it really work good
is this good???
Great video. Do you consider its video quality good enough for zoom meetings? can it be controlled from a laptop?
Hi, do you know if it is possible to use it like normal ip camera and connect it to surveillance system, or you always need to use their app? THX
Hey we have constant power outages in my country, does this have some sort of battery or anything u would recommend??
thx fo da videos
Can I watch video stream just on same wifi as camera or I can also watch that video stream from another country while camera is connected to my router in home?
Does it make sounds and is there a camera all around it?
can it connect a NVR? since I don't like camera passing by using my wifi I have a wireless NVR it supports PTZ
Thanks! This helped since I misplaced the instruction manual.
What camera are you using to record this video?
Hi Chris, do you know if this cam has a known http or rtsp stream so you can add it to windows applications like BlueIris or Ispy ?? I have some chinese cams that work very well with their own app but are impossible to use with other software since the stream cannot be found. Thanks !!
Please help. It worked perfectly first time. Then it stopped. I tried resetting it and making a new connection but now it doesn't want to connect to my WiFi. Keeps saying WiFi connection failed.
Is it possible to view the feed via browser or use an ip address to stream to for example ContaCam?
Nice. I would get the next to cheapest. Thanks for sharing .
Hi securitybros, can I use the YCC 365 App for more than 2 cameras ? Thanx
So I have to pay a subscription to a cloud service. Is there another way to see what it recorded with removing the sd card everytime?
Can you use ICSee or XMeye for the camera?
Great video like to see more I subscribed for the price it gets the done I'm buy one now thanks
I have camera which looks like yours, the model is c-p05. Is it normal that the camera pans periodically to one side and than it moves also tilt up a bit and down a bit and than stabilise an working normally? Also, does this camera also track by tilt or just pan? Because my cam does not track by tilt. But at this moment camera is 1,70m above the floor and maybe is this why does not track by tilt, or just does not support tilt tracking? Thank you!
I have 4 and i.m quite happy with them
Good work on the video
Thanks for your review...I just ordered a really cheap pan/tilt camera from Amazon for $17.99 CDN! When it arrives (IF it arrives - from China) let's see how bad it is!! Interesting that you pronounce 'Z' as 'zed' - as we do in Canada. Also, that the power adapter seems to have the same two prong plug as ours does, too...Cheers!
Hi 2 questions: a) there is a control panel where setup the camera, like for example the IP address or the password? Can this camera transmit via rtsp? Regards
Very nice neighborhood, nice houses and a real good video camera ,happy living where ever you are.
Yes, thank you
Do you know if the camera can be used with another app. I’m looking to use my own home network to store my video vs paying the mthly/yrly subscription that you have to sign up for if you use the YCC365 plus app.
What is the model you use to compare the camera? The big one, thanks
How do you install it outdoors while connected to the power adapter?
Longevity? What is it like with sun exposure on the plastic. Does it start to crumble after a few months or is it good under strong UV conditions? Id be interested to hear peoples experiences.
Thank you come again
Can you use this camera to tie into existing security network? As an add on?
Hello, can I connect multiple phones to camera? For example my brother would also like to have access to view camera but I am already connected with my phone to it .
Hello, great video!
I have a different camera but it works with the same app, the thing is that the joystick it's not working (it didn't appear when I set up the camera) and I don't know what to do
How about the mirco sd card recording? Does it allow sd card recording / looping?
Hello, can this camera automatically rotate from one side to other side? So could I monitoring whole 270° area?
What app you use for camera because i use icsee and I canot turn on the led lights. I dont have a buton for light in app.
is it a good idea to buy the larger sim card?
@securitybros.. Following your revue, I have purchased one off eBay. It arrives in a couple of days. Just one question if I may ask, could this be connected to a NVR box and if so, have you got any recommendations for a unit please.
Do you know any other APP then ycc 365?
I have this camera and it works just fine. It is Onvif and connects wirelessly to my NVR recorder without any issues. Having it powered from my garage means than I have not had to drill through walls. It does not have any fancy features such as optical zoom or iris control. The automatic tracking works but it will track trees blowing the wind etc.
Will it be a good choice for a house near to a road?
Does it have the posibility to upload files to FTP and not SD card?
Hi Rob. Can you help me. How can you connect to NVR with ONVIF? What is the correct settings. I have synology nvr. Thanks

How do you connect this to the desktop using the 'IP Camera' software - I can connect with the phone, but not get the camera to work on the computer... thanks for your help.
Is there a Webinterface oder CGI-Command-List... is it possible to take snapshot with Cgi-Command
could it (or any another similar to this model) send images to the FTP server every N seconds?
I can change the cloud service ?....the native options is very expensive for my country (brazil)
do you need a internet cable to it? can it just put video true wifi but need a cable for internet ?
Thank you. My neighbor bought this cam but couldn't get it to work. He gave it to me. I had it working on Ethernet cable but not wifi. You told what app to download to make it work. Now it's working on WiFi. Just need to mount it.
Can it record without wifi and is it motion tracking ? And can I charge it via solar
Hi. Very good information but how do I get the 3 cables into the house (brick built) do I just buy extender cables and a longer Ethernet cable. Any help please. No one gives the best ideas how to route the cables. Thanks all.
I purchase one of these about 6 months ago and it died this week. Earlier today I tested it and found the camera board has a direct power short to ground. There are three circuit boards stacked together inside this thing, a camera board, PTZ driver board and a WiFi/memory board. The boards are marked SJG. I really didn't expect this thing to last more than 6 months when I bought it and I was right.
Yeah I did a teardown video as well of this camera just for fun to see what was inside.
tim campbell The camera was out of the weather and hot sun under the eave of my roof.
@@Securitybros I can’t find the BESDERSEC camera teardown video? Please send a link. Thanks!
Do you need wifi for the camera to work as I want it for a rural area?
What if you wanna buy two? Can they both be used and accessed or can you only have one?
great review
Can I just run this camera directly from my phone or do you "need" to have a internet/wifi connection to use it?
Hello,can the camera only record on sd card by itself or only cloud?
Hi, Thanks for your review. I have 3 of these and find them to be OVERLY sensitive. I put them on the lowest sensitivity level and still get constant notifications without any video.
You're not wrong. It's to do with the hardware and software technology limitations.
Hardware: it does not have a PIR sensor, so it relies on the software to detect movement.
Software: it simply isn't smart enough to tell the difference between human movement and random pixel changes in the image.
To a camera, an insect/leaf/raindrop close to the lens is the same as a human further away, so it will translate this into "movement".
I'm sure in time as the technology gets cheaper, we'll start to see budget IP cameras with better detection capabilities.
I had a similar problem with a cheap "nanny cam" I setup to detect movement. The problem was, there were tiny power fluctuations in the IR LEDs which caused the picture image to blur, which it turn triggered the movement alarm. The problem never went away, even after putting it on the lowest sensitivity setting, so I turned off the motion detection alarm.
Great review. Tks.
Thank you, much appreciated!
Does this camera support substream and RTSP at all?
did you check if the ONVIF Is work correct?
I have 2 of these cheep cameras they stopped rotating after one year any suggestions I have reset several times but still no rotation only up and down
Im wondering if you could use ethernet cable for this.
Can you add more than one camera and view from the app?
thanks for the great info .
I have unlimited internet in my phone cell and I dont have home internet broadband .
I have to have home internet or I can use my mobile cell internet too?
thanks .
great camera!
My cloud service Expired, I have a new Micro SD card and setting changed to
record to card. However No events are being recorded and I cannot view the
video's on the card only when I manually hit the record button does it save the videos to my album. I can manually record by hitting the record button but is
won't record when the camera is set to motion and sound Alarm! So is there a
way to set this to record event when motion or sound is detected? Am I missing
something?
Is the Cloud Storage with this camera a paid service or is it free?
