What we have here is a decent quality wifi security camera hidden inside a working desktop clock. The camera/clock is attractively designed, works well both as a clock and a camera with no indication on the front, back, or even inside the rear panel that it is anything other than a simple clock.

The camera can be powered from any USB outlet or by a rechargeable battery. I was pleased to see it uses the widely available 18650 battery which can be replaced when needed. Charging the battery in the camera takes several hours but you can charge the battery externally in a high speed charger for a faster turnaround or just swap it over for another. Battery life is limited when left in motion detection mode and I found it was powered down by morning when left running overnight. Battery mode is really just for short term operation with the USB power option for general use.

The camera can be controlled and configured through the HomeEye app just as you would any other wifi camera and you can also use the app to set the clock time and features. It streams and records video with sound at up to 1080p 15 frames per second including night vision and gives excellent results which can be saved to the SD card or directly to your phone. There are three levels of video resolution available which can be selected in the app. As with other security cameras, you can set it to alert you through the app when the camera detects motion and you can also manually record stills and video directly from the app.

With the app the camera can be controlled either through your home wifi network or directly from a wifi hotspot generated by the camera. Unlike most regular security cameras this one will continue to work when there is no wifi or mains power, saving the video to the internal micro SD card, which can be up to 256GB in size. The camera interface can be password protected with the default password being 6666.

Configuring the camera is easy enough. After powering the camera on, with LEDs inside the rear panel to confirm wifi status, open the HomeEye app and click on the add device button. You will then be promoted to connect to the Camera wifi hotspot (no password needed) and back within the app to then select your home 2.4Ghz wifi network and enter the password. The camera will then connect to your network and continue to do so in each time it is switched on.

The app settings allow you to fully configure the camera and clock. You can select the camera resolution, night vision status, time, clock display, SD card, etc. It has almost all the features of a regular home security camera although annoyingly there are no zone or scheduling options. On the other hand, the camera can be set to record continuous video 24/7, overwriting the oldest video when the card is full but of course, an external USB power connection will be needed for this. Another good feature is there is no need to register the app, it can be used anonymously and there is no paywall restricting the camera features, it all works fully straight from the box.

I found in good light results were excellent both in daylight and with nightvision. In low light or when too far from the nightvision LEDs the image quality was reduced, so with most other security cameras. The 8-bit audio quality was not great and reduced further when stood too far away from the camera but good enough to catch what is being said.

This is a well made, attractive, easy to use and easy to configure combined security camera and clock which does what it says on the box. For the price of £69.99 before discounts it is rather a decent buy.
