test

We tested the camera according to the following criteria: Robustness: 4.5 of 5 stars Installation: 4 of 5 stars Video: 4 of 5 stars Sound: 3.5 of 5 stars Photo: 4.5 of 5 stars software connection: 4 of 5 stars Accessories: 4.5 of 5 Stars Overall score: 4 out of 5 stars Negative we noticed that the camera does not have a motion sensor, but derives the alarm image to compare. This can lead to false alarms in practice. In our test, however, this was very rare, so that one can live with this malus. In the overall evaluation, the Rollei's Safety Cam-20 HD came out of 5 possible stars due to this weakness. Very positive again, we were surprised by the extensive software and related cloud application. We have extensively tested the camera 's ability to look after the camera, here it can be summarized as follows: At 20m distance is a person recognition in black and white very well possible, of course, the pictures are not as sharp as in daylight. But we have not yet found a camera in this price class, which could be better. Of course, the camera can be connected to the house WLAN easily. If desired, the camera can be connected to the router via dLAN, but an additional device or adapter, for example a Powerline adapter, is required. The free Rollei Cloud allows you to easily transfer a "Lve stream" from the camera to the PC or via the free app on your smartphone. From the PC via the browser and / or from the Android smartphone, the cam can be moved and you can shoot photos, which can be stored without great technical effort, for example, on the phone. In our test this worked very well. After clicking on the desired program, the IR LEDs are also switched on in the dark. This well thought-out technique makes it possible for the cam to look through a disc at night, recording what is going on there. Just great made by Rollei!

Conclusion

Conclusion guy The camera is valuable and very well processed. The furnishing is - following the instructions - very fast, the connection to the WLAN is simple and uncomplicated. The instructions for the configuration, setting of the alarms, etc. is easy to understand and easy to use thanks to the well-written operating instructions. Rollei has shown that operating instructions are not always only written for technology freaks. Also the design of the camera is appealing, no sharp corners and edges. It lies well and safely in the hand.In the "Picture by Mail" setting, the pictures are transmitted during movements, but the camera also sends an alarm message with 6 pictures when the light conditions change. We found this not so nice. The live image of the camera is (also when access via the Internet) very good. The maximum resolution is 1280 x 720, which is for the purpose of the camera is to be completely sufficient. Of course, it is not HD quality, but who wants it, must be much deeper, in terms of price, in the bag grab. The live image came well in our test and was convincingly sharp and clear. In summary, it can be said that the camera for the money is always a good purchase!
