2MP Wired PoE IP Video Doorbell Camera - 1080P Night Vision

In this review the 2MP Wired PoE IP Video Doorbell Camera is judged as a practical, no-frills option for homeowners who want reliable day/night visitor monitoring and basic access control. It is ideal for people who prefer wired network reliability with the flexibility of 2.4GHz WiFi or PoE power, and the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a clear 1080P camera with a built-in card reader for keyless entry. The reviewer found its night vision, two-way audio and Hik-Connect compatibility make routine door monitoring simple and dependable.

Key Features

• 2MP 1080P Camera: Delivers clear daytime and nighttime images with a 131deg horizontal field of view so visitors are easy to identify.
• Night Vision: Built-in IR supports up to 3 m of night monitoring, keeping the entry area visible after dark for improved security.
• Two-Way Audio: The integrated microphone and loudspeaker allow instant conversation with visitors via the indoor monitor or smartphone app.
• Built-in Card Reader: IC/RFID support provides convenient keyless access and a tamper alarm for added physical security.
• Flexible Power & Connectivity: Works with standard PoE or 12V DC and includes a wired RJ-45 port plus 2.4 GHz WiFi for installation versatility.
• Local Storage & Alerts: Hik-Connect compatibility sends push alerts and stores clips or snapshots locally on a TF card up to 32GB.

Who It's For

This doorbell camera suits homeowners or small offices that need a robust wired option with the convenience of optional WiFi. It fits installations where PoE is preferred for stable network and power delivery, or where a 12V feed is more accessible. The built-in RFID reader also makes it attractive for users who want integrated access control without extra hardware.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who require full 5 GHz WiFi support or ultra-high resolution imaging beyond 2MP. If you need cloud storage included or very large local storage beyond 32GB out of the box, consider systems with those specific services.

Pros & Cons
