Wisenet SmartCam PT

Catch every detail in HD — whether it happens up high or down low.

See all the action

Sometimes when I check the live view of my home camera, my dogs are just out of frame. I want to see what they're up to, but my camera is fixed — it can only face in one direction. If I had this Wisenet SmartCam PT, that would not be a problem.

You can remotely control the camera's pan and tilt functions using Wisenet's mobile app. Or set it to automatically follow and film anything that moves through its field of vision (dogs, for example). Select up to three "motion zones" and the app will alert you if any noise or movement is detected within those areas.

Great footage — day or night

The SmartCam's Wide Dynamic Range means you can feel free to aim it at windows and doors — it will automatically adjust if the subject is backlit. It also transitions between day and night viewing modes so you get the clearest picture no matter what time it is. Footage is recorded in full HD to its microSD card slot (memory card not included).

My favorite features

This SmartCam has two-way talk, which is a must-have for me. I love being able to say hello to my dogs when I'm away from home (especially if they are up to something). It also comes in handy when you are out of hearing range of your spouse and you'd like him to grab something for you on his way upstairs.

That brings me to another standout feature — privacy mode. Perhaps having a camera in the house freaks your spouse out (for some reason). If so, he or she can easily activate privacy mode within the app and the camera will swivel all the way down.
