How does one know if they are polarised out of curiosity?

This came today and I'm delighted with it!

It came with a dodgy looking 2 pin usb plug and a 2 pin to 3 pin converter so I just binned the usb plug and used my own.

The app called Netcam is available to download via the Play store and App Store and I've found it perfectly stable and nice to use so far.

It runs in the background in Android but doesn't seem to in IOS, I must check if theres a setting later.

The motion detection is great, and sets off an alarm on your Android or IOS device.

With the senitivity turned up to 10 it detects cars passing through our estate. Its not sensitive enough to detect one person walking through our drive way though, as most of our driveway is obstructed from view,it did manage to detect 2 people coming in at the same time however.

You can also view it in your browser, by typing in the ip address and port number 81 e.g. 192.168.1.1:81

I haven't used it with an SD card yet but to my surprise it seems you can play back recordings via the app without having to take out the memory card.

When you use the microphone on your Android device there's a fair bit of crackly background noise through the cameras speaker. I don't think I'll ever use this function though.

Theres also a microphone alarm so you can use it as a baby monitor but I haven't checked this out yet. Theres quite a lot of settings and functions in the app some I don't even know what they do.

Took a little figuring it out to get it working on the network, first you need to stick a pin into the reset button while powering it on, and a voice says “reset successful” through the speaker.

I thought you had to directly connect the phone via Wi-Fi to set it up but it wouldn't appear in my wifi list.

Instead you use the app Netcam, scan a qr code, put in your routers Wi-Fi password and the app will connect the camera to your Wi-Fi network followed by the cute Asian lady's voice saying “connected”

Can't wait to use this to start notifying me when a delivery man or woman comes to the house.
