Night image depends on the illuminator, not on the sensor count · review
A 2K pan-and-tilt outdoor camera with a floodlight and a siren that trigger together on motion. Codnida states auto-tracking, a PIR sensor and custom detection zones, and the camera runs on mains power rather than a battery.
The bottom line A lot of hardware for the money, held back by 2.4 GHz-only Wi-Fi and by a brand with little track record. The light and siren are the reason to choose it.
This is the cheapest way to get a floodlight, a siren and a 2K pan-and-tilt head on one bracket. Codnida states that the light and the siren both trigger automatically when motion is detected at night, which is the behaviour that separates a camera somebody notices from a camera that quietly records.
The head sweeps 350° horizontally and 90° vertically, and the camera can follow a moving subject automatically. Detection is by PIR — a passive infrared sensor that reacts to moving warmth rather than to changing pixels — with user-defined zones, which is the setting that decides whether the camera reports a person or a passing bus.
Colour at night depends on the floodlight. With it off, four infrared LEDs give the usual monochrome image; with it on, the sensor produces colour and the camera announces itself, which is the trade this category always asks you to make.
Codnida states 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only, and says explicitly that 5 GHz is not supported. On a router that publishes both bands under a single network name, setup fails in a way that looks like a fault: the phone is on 5 GHz, the camera cannot join it, and nothing explains why. Separating the bands, or temporarily disabling 5 GHz, is the fix.
A driveway, a side passage or a rear yard where the object is to light an approach and make it audible. It is not the camera for identifying a face at distance, and the auto-tracking needs a home position set before it is useful.

No. Codnida states 2.4 GHz only. On a modern router that broadcasts both bands under one name, this is the single most common reason a camera of this type will not complete setup — the phone joins 5 GHz and the camera cannot follow.
It makes an approach unpleasant and it wakes a household. It does not stop anyone, and on a boundary with a neighbour it will be heard by them far more often than by an intruder. Set the detection zone to your own ground before enabling it.
It is useful for following someone across a yard and a liability if the camera is your only one, because a camera that has swung to follow a cat has its back to the gate. Set a home position it returns to, pointed at your weakest entry.
2K 3MP · 355° pan, 90° tilt · full-colour night vision · 110 dB siren · IP66
Imou states a 3 MP sensor, four night-vision modes including full colour, AI person and vehicle detection and a 110 dB siren, in a dual-antenna housing rated IP66. It sits between the budget cameras and the tracking models in price and in capability.
Best for: A garden or driveway where false alarms from foliage and insects have already made a cheaper camera unusable.
≈ 34 €
5MP · dual-band 2.4/5 GHz · 30 m IR · microSD to 512 GB, NVR or FTP · IP66
A fixed 5 MP bullet camera rather than a pan-and-tilt, and the only camera in this hub that will record to an FTP server or a Reolink NVR as well as to a card. Reolink states dual-band Wi-Fi, person, vehicle and animal detection, and 30 m night vision.
Best for: Someone who wants a fixed camera pointed at one thing permanently, recorded somewhere other than the camera itself.
≈ 70 €
1080p · 360° pan, 130° tilt · 30 m IR · microSD to 512 GB · IP65
The cheapest way into a pan-and-tilt outdoor camera that records to its own card. TP-Link states 1080p, a 360° horizontal sweep and night vision to 30 m, and the listing is unusually frank about what the model is not.
Best for: A first outdoor camera on a wall that already has a socket nearby, where 1080p is enough and the card matters more than the picture.
