Setting up the CEYE Wi-Fi bullet camera took minutes: here’s how it performed

Setting up the Consistent 3MP Smart Wi-Fi Bullet Camera CEYE Series turned out to be simpler than expected, according to a review by TOI Tech Desk. Since it is a Wi-Fi camera, there was no need to run long network cables through the house; after mounting the camera, only a power connection was required, and pairing it with the CEYE mobile app took just a few minutes.

The app guided the setup process step by step, including scanning a QR code on the camera and connecting it to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Once connected, the camera appeared almost instantly inside the app, allowing access to the live feed, settings and recordings without complicated configuration. The app also supports PC monitoring for viewing the feed on a larger screen.

Priced at Rs 2,699, the camera, model CT-CM-BW3M, includes 3MP Full HD recording, all-time colour night vision, IP66 weather resistance, human detection, two-way audio, Alexa support, cloud recording and support for microSD cards up to 256GB. During testing, the 3MP resolution produced sharp daytime footage, and the colour night vision retained footage in low-light conditions rather than switching to black-and-white video.

The Smart Human Detection feature mostly notified the reviewer only when a person was detected, reducing unnecessary alerts from passing animals or trees, with notifications reaching the phone within seconds. The camera’s IP66 weatherproof rating held up during testing despite changing weather conditions.

The review noted some limitations, including reduced image quality at high digital zoom and an app that could use a more polished interface, but concluded the camera offers reliable monitoring and useful smart features at an accessible price.
