 Welcome to my unboxing and first look at Zyxel's cloud enabled IP camera the IPC465N. It uses H264 HD format recording which is pretty cool because this is a consumer level product that is wireless and records in HD, very neat, is tablet compatible as well as smartphone compatible so you can use those to monitor your security system. Ok, the first truly consumer friendly IP camera, ok, view anywhere, no complicated setup, HD video, works day or night. So it does have a built in infrared emitter and then it's also an infrared camera so that'll make it so you can actually see the infrared light bouncing off the stuff in front of it which is good. Ok, it has 340 degree pan range of motion so that's like going around like this, 100 degrees of tilt so that's up and down, cloud enabled viewing powered by iSecurity Plus so you can view and manage your camera directly from your smartphone, compatible with iOS or Android, yay, free apps available, web based viewing from your PC and most flash enabled devices, neat, ok, 802.11n wifi, 24x7 surveillance, infrared LEDs automatically illuminate up to 15 feet in low light conditions, HD video, ok, package contents which we'll obviously see as well as setup utility requirements, web setup camera, iSecurity Plus, ok, cool, cool, cool. So they show a diagram, the camera connects to the home office network, connects to the interwebs which can beam to you wherever you happen to be so if I, you know, am at the office and I want to know what my cats are doing on the cat tree I can put this in my living room and I can be like vrrrrrrrrrrrrr, vrrrrrrrrrrrrr and I can see what they're doing. From work, I can hang out with my cats. I mean, how do you go around? I mean I guess you could also, you know, monitor for intruders or like babies or stuff. I mean that's a really useful thing about something like this. You know how security companies will charge you if there's a false alarm? Set up one of these bad boys or set up a couple, set them up at your house, you don't even have to worry about like what happens if you know, they see something and it doesn't notify you in any way or whatever the case may be. Your alarm company calls you, you go oh, well let me find out if it's a problem, log in real quick on your smartphone even, find out if there's actually someone at the house, you can be like yeah, there's someone there, go please get them, make them go away. And make them not take my stuff. So all of this is pretty clear, I think we've already covered most of that. So let's have a look at what's actually here in the package. First we've got an instruction booklet with key product highlights as well as, oh hold on, oh okay, brief product description, application scenarios, baby monitor, oh that's smart actually so not only sound but also video, that's cool and it uses infrared, nanny slash pan camera, oh I came up with that one on my own. Alright what else we got, home slash business security, got it and free price is around $185, cool, okay, I don't think that comes with every one, I think that was more for my use. Alright, start here, run disk first, download the latest from Zyxel, here's the setup guide, so there's a quick start guide, when you've finished you can do a bunch of things, there's all your default settings all in one convenient cart, very nice. Moving right along we've got some boxes which presumably have some power adapters and oh what's this, wireless and USB, oh okay so it just uses a USB dongle plugged into the back of the unit in order to get the wirelessness going on. I wonder if you could even just use this on like a computer if you wanted to, wow that is the ugliest yellow plastic I think I've ever seen. Okay so there's that going on, we've got a power adapter, we've got mounting kit, we've also got an ethernet cable should you desire to run it wired and a mounting bracket, very cool, okay. This must be the power brick, there we go, so that plugs into the thing and then this plugs into the other thing which plugs into the wall. And finally we have the camera unit itself, look at that, custom foam packaging, very nice. Actually it's not custom, you guys want to know how this foam packaging works? You just, you have, someone actually cuts these unless they are fancy and they have a machine that does it, but then they actually cut all the various layers down to whatever they need to be and then they stack them all together, they glue them all together and that's how you can do packaging without the expense of doing a custom mold. Not mold like grows on bread, like mold like you know to have something be the right shape at the end. Alright so remember guys, we've got 350 degrees of rotation this way, 100 degrees of panning up and down and look at that I can just move it, that's very cool, so it turns all the way around there, look at that it's like creepy, it's like a horror movie, so like, raaaaaaaargh... Aaaa it's neck should be broken, but it's not, okay sorry. Indicator LED on the front, there's your infrared, there's your camera, remember this is a 720P HD camera, metal mounting plate on the bottom actually makes it feel a lot more solid and That's how you're going to pair it to the bracket which has four little mounting spots right there So you just go and you can put it like that and then it can kind of look around like this and be like Okay, let's look at the back so we've got our LAN as well as what in the world is that okay? Well moving right along audio out microphone in so oh look at that so you can plug in an additional External microphone that's cool. There's the power in reset and a micro SD. Oh, that's cool. No way Does it support actually recordings okay? Well, we'll be back Okay, we got it all figured out. This is a light sensor the IR LED or the IR emitters are inside here And finally this is an IO port of some sort and this can be used for easy local storage So what's really cool is you don't even have to run network to it You can still record your microphone in is here. However it supports both external microphone and external audio for two-way communication So you put one of these by your front door, and you're all like someone comes through your door, and you're like Yeah, it should be breaking those not No, no you wouldn't you wouldn't say that to them you'd say who is this and they would say well It's me. I'm here to visit and you'd be like go away And that's pretty much how it would go down so what we really need to do is a video quality test So I'll set that up at some point, but that pretty much wraps it up for the unboxing Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos And that's where the wireless thing goes you don't have to use it though remember. There's local recording as well as network attached recording by a physical cable that plugs into the back of the thing and then you You can turn it off
