The successor to the IMILAB EC3 camera
The IMILAB brand has a slightly special system in the modeling of cameras, but it still has its own logic. Even numbers after the letters EC indicate wireless cameras (EC2, EC4) and odd numbers belong to cable cameras, which, however, have WiFi (EC3, EC5).
IMILAB EC5 is thus a direct successor to the very popular EC3 model. We have been using this outdoor camera for many months in a cottage with a garden, which we monitor with this camera and we are very satisfied with it. We only lack vertical rotation, which is one of the improvements of the new model.
360 ° space monitoring
As we have already indicated, the big attraction of the news is the possibility rotating the camera in both directions, ie horizontally and verically. This functionality will give you an overview of more space and one interesting extra feature.
It is the tracking of moving people, during which the camera will rotate behind the monitored object. In the horizontal line, ie from right to left, the camera can rotate by 350° and in the vertical direction, ie from top to bottom, o 100°.
The IMILAB EC5 camera itself measures 139 x 128 x 135 mm, weighs 630 g and provides 2K resolution (2304 x 1296 px) with aperture f / 2.1. In the package you will find everything you need for installation: power cord, wall brackets, screws with dowels and user manual.
Intelligent night mode
Night mode is perhaps a matter of course with all security cameras. However, IMILAB EC5 has intelligent night modewhich can be adapted to current needs based on motion detection.
In addition to infrared LEDs, the camera also has classic ones LED diodes to illuminate the space, with which you can get a color image even at night. When Intelligent Night Vision is on, the camera operates in standard black and white mode. If it detects a person in its field of view, it automatically turns on standard lighting, which switches the image to color. If he subsequently finds out that he is not a human, he switches back to classic night vision.
Monitoring zones and notifications
Since the camera has a wide angle of view (110 °), we do not always want the whole area to be monitored. The function is used for this purpose detection zonesin which you can select only a certain part of the image to be monitored.
If the camera detects movement in the marked part of the image, it immediately notifies you via a notification on your smartphone. Person recognition should work more reliably thanks to the new AI chip. Moving outside the selected zone will be ignored by the camera. However, zone-free monitoring without zones is preset.
Surprisingly, the application is used to connect with a smartphone We Home, unlike other innovations from the IMILAB brand, which have already used their own IMILAB Home application. Apparently this application did not work, so IMILAB returns to the Mi Home application.
It will also please the presence of an alarm with a volume of up to 100 dB, which can be triggered when motion is detected in the monitored area.
WiFi or cable and IP certification
IMILAB EC5 offers a choice of Internet connection. He supports it WiFi, but it also has a separate LAN cable. If you do not have a good WiFi signal or you want a more reliable connection, you also have the option of connecting using a standard Ethernet LAN cable.
Whether it's raining or the sun is shining, the new camera can handle all the conditions. Rain resists thanks IP66 certification and can work at temperatures of -30 to 60 ° C.
It will also be pleased with the support of Micro SD memory cards up to a maximum capacity of 256 GB or even free cloud storage, which stores videos for the last 7 days. Two-way audio transmission is a matter of course thanks to the built-in microphone and speaker.
Do you need a special NVR? Or does it work on its own and can I find it using Danale or iCSee, for example?
It works independently via the Mi Home application.
Older versions took only 6 seconds to record.
Everything will be in the review in a few weeks 🙂
It is glabal whether the apka needs to be switched to china mailand
Global version.
I'm interested in it. Is it possible to use it only via the IP address, ie without the camera image going "via the Internet" and therefore only over the network location?
The camera works exclusively through the Mi Home application.
Health ,, IMLAB EC5 how is it powered by the camera ,, does it have a built-in battery that can be powered by a solar panel? well thank you.
Hello, no battery, powered by adapter.
I still haven't learned how long the camera stores.
Can it only save to the cloud or is it possible to use a local NAS as was the case with EC3?
Hey hvis jeg choose standard shipping fra Kina payer jeg ikke told? Hvordan det virker?
Hello, if you choose Aliexpress Standard Shipping from china warehouse, you should not pay additional fees or customs.
The camera does not have a 7-day recording on the Cloud as you write in the review!!! Only a 9-second recording is saved when motion is detected. So the cameras are unusable for me, since I bought them precisely because of the possibility of storing them on the cloud. A waste of €250. Thank you very much.
Hello, cloud storage worked for us during the review. We wrote it here https://chinaplanet.sk/recenzia-imilab-ec5/
I'm considering a purchase.
If it works through the MiHome app, it doesn't matter, I take it.
Yes, it also works through Mi Home.
