These only work half the time, they constantly turn off and on, they do not pick up anything the majority of the time that they are on. The app that correspond is decent but you can not trohble shoot from it. You have to reboot the cameras all the time manually.

I’ve been using this 2-pack of 2.4GHz outdoor security cameras for a little while now, and overall they work really well with just one notable downside. Setup was pretty straightforward, and once connected to Wi-Fi, the cameras have been reliable. The video quality is clear in both daytime and at night—the color night vision is actually impressive and makes it much easier to see details compared to standard black-and-white footage. The 355° PTZ feature is a big plus too, allowing me to move the camera around remotely and cover more area without needing multiple fixed cameras. Motion detection has been accurate for the most part, and I like getting real-time alerts. The two-way audio is also a nice feature—it’s clear enough to communicate with someone outside or even scare off unwanted visitors. The main downside is the cloud storage requirement. While the cameras themselves function well, you pretty much need the subscription to get the most out of them, especially for saving and reviewing footage. It would’ve been nice to have a solid local storage option included instead of relying so heavily on a paid service. Overall, these cameras are a solid choice if you don’t mind the added cost of a subscription. They perform well, have useful features, and provide good coverage, but the ongoing cloud fee is definitely something to consider before buying.
Just my opinion
The GNCC outdoor security camera set includes two cameras with 1080P video resolution and 355° PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) capability for wide viewing coverage. The cameras feature color night vision, AI motion detection, and two-way audio so you can both hear and speak through the camera using the connected app.
These cameras connect using 2.4GHz WiFi only, which is something to verify before purchasing if your network setup differs. The units are rated IP65 waterproof, making them suitable for outdoor installation in typical weather conditions.
Video can be stored using a micro SD card or through an optional cloud storage subscription. Overall, the cameras offer several common home security features, including motion alerts, night monitoring, and remote access through a mobile app. Peace of mind is worth every penny.

This is by far the best security camera I have ever used. It was very easy to set up and connect to my wi-fi and my phone. The app was easy to use, and I was impressed with all the features. When you turn it on, it acts like a robot - it swivels and moves up and down until it faces forward. While using the app, you can move the camera, turn the light on and off, and speak through the camera. The picture quality is great, nice and sharp, unlike my last camera. It features motion detection also. I set it up facing a doorway and it triggered when I walked by and took video that was stored to a micro-SD card I had put in the camera. It also has a cloud feature, where you can have the videos or photos uploaded into the cloud, but I haven't tried that yet. All in all, with the functionality of the camera and the fact you can get a pair of them for less than I paid for one a while back, this is an excellent value!

Este set de cámaras fijas para exterior ofrece una solución práctica para monitoreo constante, ya que están diseñadas para operar 24/7. La resolución 2K brinda buena nitidez para identificar movimientos y detalles generales en el área vigilada.
Funcionan únicamente con WiFi 2.4 GHz, algo a tener en cuenta antes de instalarlas, pero una vez conectadas mantienen una señal estable. La detección de movimiento y las alertas cumplen bien su función, y el audio bidireccional resulta útil para comunicación básica o advertencias.
La carcasa con certificación IP65 las hace aptas para exteriores, resistiendo lluvia y polvo sin problema en uso normal. Como punto importante a considerar, varias funciones requieren suscripción en la nube, lo cual puede ser un factor decisivo según las preferencias del usuario.
En general, es un set funcional para vigilancia residencial continua, con buena calidad de imagen y características útiles, siempre que se tenga en cuenta la dependencia del WiFi 2.4 GHz y el servicio en la nube.

This GNCC 2-pack outdoor security camera set provides basic PTZ coverage with wide rotation, 1080P video, and color night vision over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi – initial setup through the Osaio mobile app is generally straightforward, and most camera functions are easy to access – motion detection sensitivity can be adjusted, but even at the lowest setting the cameras tend to record excessive activity, making it harder to locate meaningful events – there is no option to exclude non-human or non-animal motion – detection area editing is available and can help reduce unwanted recordings, but it is not immediately obvious in the app; in edit mode, the orange corner markers must be dragged to define the active area, and the selection must be saved for changes to take effect – seller support was helpful in explaining this process. A positive point is that multiple GNCC cameras can be managed together within the same Osaio app – however, there is no desktop or browser-based option for live viewing or playback, which limits monitoring flexibility, though this is common among similarly priced cameras. Overall value is reasonable for a two-camera PTZ setup, but basic detection controls and platform limitations keep this from standing out.

This is a 2 pack of surveillance cameras.
These are very suitable for home use to keep an eye on your yard and house. They do have local recoarding to a micro FLASH card, which is nice. You can PTZ these to look around from the "Osaio" app on your phone. Easy to install and set up, even come with a template showing where to drill the holes.
Not really a "security" system as while these can detect motion/noise and push notifications that is about it, the bare minimum but could work I suppose. I would say these have your basic functionality. Have night illumination and some custom setups but not extensive.
The ability to retreive stored video is just ok. I have another GNCC camera which is battery/solar powerd and its really difficult to get this other camera to send the locally stored video to my phone. Easier on these units which plug in and are not battery powered. Speaking of being plugged in, they come with a USB C power plug that is physically very long. They should use a shorter plug that does not protrude as much from outdoor power receptacles.
Overall a nice 2 pack of PTZ cameras. A little pricey but well within the competitive range.

This 2-pack of GNCC outdoor cameras is a tough deal to beat. With all the features offered, this price would be good for one camera. The maximum resolution is 1080P, which isn’t really the current standard. New products almost all do 4K these days. However, this resolution is still excellent for a security camera. Not that long ago, cameras were only 300 lines of resolution, and this is more than 3X better than that.
WiFi connection was no problem at all, at a pretty good distance from my router. I’m sure the dual antennas help with that. It has 2-way voice communication, color night vision(sort of), and a loud siren. The app doesn’t make color night vision very accessible.
Overall, the hardware seems a little cheaply made, but it does the job. The range of view is outstanding, only unable to aim upward. But I can check for packages on my porch as well as look down my street in both directions. The Osaio app is the only thing holding this back from 5 stars. The app is not at all user-friendly for playing back recordings or for setting up detection zones. Much of it is confusing and not at all intuitive. This app doesn’t just need a tune-up; they should start over from scratch. It works nothing like any other security camera apps I’ve used.
My biggest gripes are really small things that cause problems they should have foreseen. First, they supply drywall anchors with machine screws for mounting. This is an outdoor camera! Where do you find drywall on the outside of a house? I had to find wood screws separately. They should provide brick/mortar mounts or wood screws.
Second, I provided a picture of a typical outdoor outlet cover. In this picture, I’m using an old iPhone USB adapter to power this camera. Why? Because the supplied adapter is nearly twice as long and won’t fit in an outdoor enclosure. That’s two silly mistakes that could easily and cheaply have been avoided. However, I have enough supplies that I was able to make the install as easy as it should be. The stick-on templates they provided made it a breeze.
I am disappointed that the sound detection did not work correctly for me no matter the setting. I live on a quiet suburban street, and no matter how low I set sound detection, it was triggered every few minutes by nothing visible. It seems the sound of a little wind set it off constantly. I had to turn off this function.
When all is said and done, these cameras are still a really good deal, and I would recommend them. Just be sure you have your own mounting screws and/or mollys.
Did my research
We have an alarm system, but it’s only for motion detection and doors/windows breached. It doesn’t have any cameras. I ordered this pair of indoor/outdoor cameras to be able to record any intruder who might enter our home, or venture into a vulnerable spot on our side yard. We already have a GNCC camera outdoors to alert us of intruders in the back yard. It uses the same Osaio app, and adding these two cameras was a snap. On the Camera List page of the app there’s an icon in the upper right-hand corner that looks like headphones. This accesses the Help Center and gave AI answers to most of my connection & configuration questions for these cameras. The only drawback is that the app has been updated but the AI knowledge base has not. Some answers were not applicable to the new cameras.
I like that these cameras are AC plug-in rather than battery powered. Our other GNCC camera is connected to a small solar panel that helps keep it charged, but placement of the panel restricted where we could mount that camera. (And we still have to occasionally bring it inside to charge it if there hasn’t been a lot of sunny weather.) This AC-powered pair can be plugged in anywhere & anytime you need a camera, and can be put away when you don’t. We plan to leave the side yard camera on around the clock, and only set up the other one indoors when we’re away for an extended time. It feels a bit odd having it constantly watching us and sending signals to our phones about our own activities. The necessary hardware and drilling templates are included to mount the cameras, or you could simply set them on a table/shelf.
These cameras give alerts for both sound and motion. Sensitivity and schedules can be individually adjusted for each. The app allows you to set alerts for humans, faces, vehicles, animals, and packages. I appreciate that you can also set the cameras to shine a light on the intruder and to make an alarm sound. This pair gives us much peace of mind for under $40, or $20 per camera. I highly recommend this brand and these cameras for their efficiency, simplicity, and versatility.

This is a really nice set of outdoor cameras. These cameras use the 2.4Ghz wifi and will not connect with the 5Ghz. These cameras also require that you plug them into an outlet in order to operate. The power cord is long enough that I was able to hang high the camera and still have the cord reach the outlet. I downloaded the app and it found the cameras with ease. I was able to connect them immediately and I could see them on my phone. The image was crystal clear. The app allowed me to move the camera up and down and nearly a 360 view when I turned it to the sides. This camera also started giving me notifications right away. At night, I am able to clearly see my backyard. I installed a microSD card to store the images. Overall, I am really pleased with these cameras. The cameras were easy to install, the app is user friendly, the images are crystal clear. Getting these two cameras is a real value and the price I saw for these cameras is really reasonable.

They work as long as you have good internet. If your wifi is bad or too far away then they disconnect. I bought an extender and it helps with the glitching.
Stacey Comer
In day great picture clearer then most but at night it's not greatest and my audio works maybe once every ten min of that it's squeaky and it's right next to the Wi-Fi router nothing in between but the wall.

It took me a bit to find a camera for my barns. But let me tell you. These barns are 480ft long. I installed the camera at the front of my barns(I have one in each). Granted I can’t see the very back. But you get what I saying. It’s hot, dusty, and loud at times. So far these cameras have been great. They were easy easy to set up. The power cord is a good length. Easy to hang up. Definitely worth buying. I read that you can purchase something on the app. But I don’t need to. The camera does rotate, I can hear through it into my barns. I havnt tried talking through it. But it says I can. It even has the capability of motion and sound detection if I turn it on. But I do t want to get a notification of every bird chirp. Good little camera.

I’m less than thrilled with this camera for security notification purposes right now. It was fairly easy to set it up. It did take me a while to decide and figure out how to manage it with the need to plug it in. I finally decided to get an overview of my yard where people come into the drive. Putting the camera bracket on was simple and straightforward. I am not sure how long the whole thing would hold up to weather, especially winter.
The first impression is wow, a nice view and I can see the whole front yard. Then the issues…which I felt would be a matter of tweaking settings.
First, traffic on the road triggers notifications. This traffic is a “full football field” away. I found the detection zone settings and brought the frame down to where road traffic isn’t seen. That function is cool and works like a photo cropping tool. I can literally see in my frame what goes by on my fairly rural road, but once I set it, the camera isn’t sending me a notification for each vehicle. That worked very well.
I set the detection level on high, and the camera didn’t even see a car drive in, back around, park, and the person walk across the yard to the door. This was well within the “zone” where it should have pinged. That baffled me since it had been seeing all the road traffic much further away.
Sound detection was a bust…birds triggered it and cars on the road did too. It would need to be inside a home with no pets for this to be useful I think.
There is a significant pause between something happening and being able to see it. This delay is sometimes quite a lot.
So, I’ve been playing with the settings, but am irritated that unless I subscribe to the cloud function and pay, I can’t access certain detection functions. I have another cam that has an SD card…and I have ordered one for this cam. I can use all the functions on the other camera without a subscription. This feels like forcing me to subscribe and pay every month which is not my choice.
Then, when it seemed like it might be going really well, when it got dark, the camera started notifying me of motion constantly. Ping, ping, ping. I set the detection on low, and the light on B&W. It kept pinging, over and over. The motion it saw looked like insects or rain. The cam is not positioned under an eve where drops would fall by it. I couldn’t get it to stop pinging by playing with the settings.
Finally I turned the notifications off and took a headache medication.
The camera picture is fine. The notification has failed to tell me when a car drives in, but it tell me if an insect flies by. Awkward. I tried low, medium and high detection levels. It isn’t notifying properly in the location I chose. It may be different if it were in another kind of location like a covered porch or something? I have limited options of where I can mount it based on the availability of electricity and the view I wish to have.
If I have any luck with the cam later on I will update this. For now I am disturbed about the decisions it makes regarding notifications, but I can look at the front yard with this camera from the other side of the house if I want to which could be handy if I am out back waiting for someone to arrive. It won’t TELL me, but I could see it on my phone. I will try the camera with an SD card and see if that makes improvements I will update if there are new developments.
I prefer my solar powered cam that seems more able to discern any important motion from unimportant activity, but that could be due to placement.

I am so happy to be able to access my patio when I am not home. Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to feel a little more secure when I’m away.

This product is good in theory. For me, I could not get the camera to connect to the app. I had tried multiple times and even used the live chat feature. Also, it did not look super waterproof for being advertised as an outdoor camera. On the bottom where there is a place to insert the SD card, the seal did not look like it would stand up to much water. Definitely returning and going to try a different brand/style.
Damien
First, I want to say that I don't hate this product. It works "Alright" but has some pretty serious hang ups that I think people should be aware of.
The camera does work a large portion of the time. It is able to monitor and record at least 70% of the time. If I was to give them a grade on only that time it'd be great. The issue, is the 30%. During that 30% it will have trouble finding the wifi signal. Even when I was setting it up, next to the router, it had issues finding it. I don't have this issue with most devices, but I've tried a couple low end security cameras and it seems like a common issue. So, what does this mean? Sometimes it will just buffer for 5-10 mins trying to communicate with the camera.
Another issue, which I've shown in the screen shot, the camera can take HOURS to process events. At first I thought this might be the memory card so I switch it out with another I use, same issue. I'm not sure why it takes so long to process video but it can be exhausting to get an alert, check it 10 mins later, and not know what the cam saw because it's still processing.
If you're getting this for safety I would recommend going with a name brand product, this is a cheap camera that is able to preform the basic task you assign it but will not work "well" or quickly.
For 24, my recommendation is "Sure, if you don't want to spend more" but you get what you pay for and that's this.
