blurams Indoor Camera 2K, Cameras for Home Security 5GHz, 360° Pet Camera w/Motion Tracking, Phone App, 2-Way Audio, IR Night Vision, Siren, Works with Alexa & Google Assistant

Third time is a charm!
I have purchased three different cameras before finally finding this blurams’s camera. Great base for stability, you can save your positions, zoom in, continuous recording, just so many feature to about about. I am glad I kept searching for better. I have my first camera set up next to this one, literally night and day. I have to go through several steps to even view the other camera on my phone (only option). With this blurams, I can view it on my phone (biometric login) or with a web browser on my laptop. No need for a android emulator on my PC.

If you use an SD card instead of their cloud service….
*EDIT- it is now october 2022, and I’mnot sure if tsokebody read my complaints here and addresed them in the following updates (updates that you dont realize are happening all the time) but pretty much all of the issues listed in this review – havent noticed since writing this review now that I just came across it again. I dont know if this was a “growing pains” situation gor the app/software, or if this was a genuine issue that worked itself out somehow. But either way I have not had any deal breaker type of issues with this camera in many months now, and it has been recording away 24/7 in the position I set it to point now for a while. Definitely a good purchase for the $20-ish price range compared to others I the same range. Updating my original review below from 2 stars to 4 stars at this point… not 5, only because there are still things the hardware is more than capable of doing that are not available due to the software or cannot be used unless you pay blurams additional money for their cloud services that no one really needs, as long as you own an sd card, and that shouldn’t be aloud to be a thing… unfortunately though, all cameras in this price range have this same exact featureless software to control it without paying the company’s extra for cloud recording. They’ve pretty much all adopted this type of business model now, so I can’t knock blurams in particular more than just 1 star for that alone. Deffinately didn’t expect this camera to last recording to SD on 24/7 loop like it had been for longer than a few momths. Overall it’s a smart device that I havent toyed around with or had to opem the app for any reason at all in momths now, which is what your aiming for with any smart device. Pleasantly surprised with this little burams camera hardware. Not at all impressed with the software, but also not wntirely dissapointed either. More control and capabilitiesthan most others, IF you pay the $2/momthly subscription. Whis is extremely reasonably priced by the way, but It’s not the cost i take issue with, its the deceptive sales model that seemingly all sub $100 camera brands have all adopted at this point.*The camera will not re-center itself after motion detection, and gets stuck looking at a blank wall. Only way yo fix this is to stop recording to SD and use cloud uploads only for it to function properly is what I’ve learned after being on my 3rd replacement device now. If you turn off the motion tracking feature and just leave it in one position though it seems to work just fine with SD recording, BUT…. the push notifications for qhen it fetes a person, motion, ect. Are instant when only recording to the cloud, and are delayed by a full minute at least when you have “playback from SD” selected in the settings.Yo sum it up the hardware is great and works great without an SD card in it, but given its features and 90% of people buy this for that exact selling point of having an SD card slot and not having to rely on a cloud service – The firmware for these blurams cameras needs to be updated BADLY because I really do like the device but it’s seemingly being overloaded by recording HQ TO the SD card at the same time that it is uploading to the cloud and it just overloads it to the point where the auto tracking feature and re-entering functions of the actual hardware get canceled out like ctrl+alt+del on a computer because it just dosent have the available resources to handle all of this at once… ice came home everyday the past week now yo my camera being on with the night vision on, but the actually lens pointed all the way up into the off position and who knows how long it was this way for? So clearly that not acceptable and this issue needs to be fixed. If it ever get a firmware update to allow the primary record and playback from to be the SD card and make the cloud uploads a secondary backup that the camera uploads when it is proccessing nothing else, that’s all it would take to make this a perfect camera and I would change my review to 5 stars… but as it currently sits, this I not an auto motion tracking camera if you plan to use an SD card and I almost feel like they know this and have the firmware designed this way purposely to sell their (fairly priced & good) cloud services, which I absolutely refuse and purposely bought this camera because of the SD card slot. I do not want my entire 2.4ghz band of my network being maxed out around the clock because of a little security camera, which is exactly what happens anytime it records an event unless you turn the cloud recording off….and once you turn it off from what I read in the app. Rhee is no way to reactivate your remaining trial time and you just lose it so 🙄🤷🏼‍♂️ FIX YOUR PURPOSELY BROKEN FIRMWARE BLURAMS. PEOPLE WILL BUY YOUR CLOUD SERVICE WHO WANT IT, WHEN ITS OBVIOUS YOURE PRODUCT IS SEEMINGLY BROKEN DUE TO THE FIRMWARE, PEOPLE WILL REFUSE TO SPEND MORE MONEY ON A BROKEN PRODUCT QHETHER ITS DONE PURPOSELY IN THE FIRMWARE OR NOT 😑🤦🏼‍♂️.. PEOPLE NEED A FUNCTIONING PRODUCT TO FEEL COMFORTABLE EVEN CONSIDERING TO HAND OVER EVEN MORE MONEY TO THE SAME COMPANY FOR MORE BROKEN PRODUCTS AND SERVICES 🗣🗣🗣…lol just makes sense, right? I’m just sayin though 🤷🏼‍♂️🥱Again – Update my firmware and unbreakable my product with the solution I just gave you guys, or some otherVERY easy to write firmware permanent solution to all the glitches when recording 24/7 to SD card and I give you my word I will give this product the 5 stars that it deserves if it weren’t for the obvious and product breaking issues…. And hurry before I send this one back ad well and start this whole proccess again with a different model/company because I’m running out of patience messing with the current firmware 🙄🤷🏼‍♂️ thanks 👍

terrible
Update:02/21/23I decided that this can’t even be used to watch baby birds. The feed cuts out too often, the visual is sometimes / often black and requires numerous app closures and re-starts…. can ou imagine if you are recording and you see somebod stealing your stuff and the feed constantly cuts out / resets? The devioce often disconnected and kept resetting….I replaced it with the Decko equivalent model. Sad because IMo the Blu rams unti actually looks etter, rotates better etc… but the decko unit WORKS.This is not the end though… I will keep the BR unit since i own it and will just keep it to see how it continues to degrade… or improve??? with time.The Decko unit is not without flaws…. but it works so much better. The night vision is better, the feed and controls work as well…i think the BR has better controls.. .but they do not / hardly work.2/14/23Still updating / getting whatever money I can out of these junks.Currently getting a lot of “oops device has disconnected” messages when devices are literally right next to the wifi routers. and viewing device has excellent recption etc…The camera seems to restart randomly.. It loses connection and literally performs the self test in the middle of viewing.Using it to watch some baby animals and it freezes, picture cuts to black / app needs restarting and the camera movement crashes the whole app.it just gets “better” as time goes by… better meaning worse!!!!!!!update:oct2022: At this point im just keeping it to update for other people…why not? The connwection is still bad and controls are mediocre at best…. the decko isnt outstanding but has more control over this unit.It still has problem loading a picture… yet the ads load flawlessly. I wanted to check on m birds.. but couldnt as the little “spinning circle” just kept spinning.Voice / sound is poor… why even have it as an option?Sionce getting the deckop units several monts ago, this unit has failed and needed to be readded to the ap pseveral times… 3 times n a few months. The decko units thus far havent had an issue like that.For the price, this camera is good. It has a lot of features for $25…even if it cost more the amount of features would be impressive….The night vision, I’d say is excellent, I’ve tested the two side by side literally and the alerts are faster and instantaneous compared to Dekco brand cameras, and there a few features that IMO make Bluerams great.. .but really, that’s all there is to say. the app is filled with non stop ads to subscribe to cloud services, you can only watch maybe 15 seconds of live video, the reaction to controls is incredibly slow and inaccurate, it takes forever to load visuals…. and it freezes etc.. as I type this i can see the little “loading” circle going and going.. . When you get a notice that someone is potentially stealing your crap, you don;t want ot watch a 10?? second ad before you can view your cameras… Im not paying for cloud services yes, but I want to be able to see instantaneous feed… especially if I get a notice saying someone has appeared in my garage…. I understand they want to promote it but almost every time I check my camera or get a notice?Overall I am quite disappointed. I have since started switching over to Dekco brand camers. Although those are also far from flawless. Id say they at least perform better and more reliably. One big advantage the Bluerams has over the dekco is that you can use the app to switch what wifi the unit is using. thats good if you have several different networks to choose from.Overall though, that one big advantage does not make it the superior unit…. very disappointed with these units. I have 3 of them and all 3 are the same. I also have the outdoor unit which was also disappointing. So far, for a similar price, the Decko units have performed well, have similar featuers, and have recently added more features that make it beeter than these… If you want my advice, get the Dekco units.Updat: 8/31/22 Looks like the units have stopped working and have all “disconnected” It looks liek I will need to manually add the cameras again…. The reason why I am keeping these two onboard as compared to just repalceing them with Decko units is 1. I paid for them 2. they are in areas that aren;t that important.So far the Deckos have been trouble free and they even updated the app which includes a manual light override, and a better 2 way ommunication option.The ad advertising seems to have gotten more annoying / often as they try to advertise to you to buy cloud space.

This camera has good picture quality and a great app where you can control the camera from your phone. You can change the angle 360 degrees and can capture pictures. It gives you alerts if there is any movement and is a great deal for the price. I just wish it would work on the google home app.

Pros:Installation Made Easy: Setting up the device was a breeze, and the clear instructions made it a hassle-free experience.Budget-Friendly Gem: The price of this camera pleasantly surprised me, considering the quality it delivers. It’s an excellent option for those on a budget who don’t want to compromise on performance.Seamless Remote Communication: The remote communication feature is a game-changer. I can stay connected to my home or office from anywhere, giving me peace of mind and the ability to monitor activities in real-time.User-Friendly Image Rotation: The camera offers an option to rotate the image so you can install it upside down.Convenient Camera Power Control: There is an option to turn off the camera at any timeLook: Awesome designCons:Improved Navigation Needed: While the camera offers a 360-degree view, navigating all directions through the app can be a bit challenging. The round button for changing the camera’s direction doesn’t feel intuitive and could use some improvement. I hope to see a more user-friendly control mechanism in future updates.Privacy Feature Needed: Since it’s primarily used indoors and captures footage of family members, it would be beneficial to have an option to blur their bodies or faces. This feature would enhance privacy protection and make users more comfortable with using the camera inside their homes.Overall, this camera boasts great features at an affordable price, making it a solid choice for anyone seeking an easy-to-use surveillance solution. With some tweaks to the app’s navigation, it would undoubtedly become an even more exceptional product.

Clear video, smart motion tracking, and 2-way audio make it perfect for home security. Easy to set up with the app and works with Alexa and Google Assistant. Great value for the price. Highly recommend!
