Description
The Compro TN50W Cloud Network Camera is a plug-and-play device that does not have any features that are not found on other similar devices. The camera has a few drawbacks, such as the lack of a night vision feature and the inability to remotely tilt or pan. The camera does have a few features that set it apart from other cameras, such as the exclusive C4Home Cloud App Service and the ability to use a smartphone to access the camera's video feed.
The TN50W is pretty no-frills, as far as these devices go. The list of things it can't do compared with the competition is long. You can't remotely tilt or pan, physically or digitally. The only zoom is digital, and I could never get it to work.
There's no online "DVR" service; recording can only happen manually and in MKV format. (However, no DVR service also means you don't pay extra monthly fees.) But the biggest omission compared with the competition is night vision—instead, the TN50W sports a LED in front to illuminate the dark a bit.
Nothing says "you're being recorded" like a bright white light shining from a camera, making the red LEDs used for night vision seem invisible in comparison. Accessing the camera's video feed on a smartphone is a breeze using the aforementioned C4Home app.
