HD Wide Angle Underwater IP Camera for Saltwater and Freshwater Aquaculture

simple to install and clear image 👍🏻

Very fast delivery. Camera up and running in 5 minutes. Great performance. Happy. Is my second Barlus cam. Both working great.

I was a little concerned about the reviews about the difficult set up but it wasn't that hard and the support was amazing! They helped me several times to get the camera connected and the app set up on my phone for viewing. Also I got a wireless extender with a ethernet outlet so I could plug in the camera close to the pond.

the view is so clear and I'm having so much fun watching my fish and turtles from a whole new perspective.

The only issue I'm having is not the camera or service but my fish Nemo who LOVES the camera and parks right in front of it often like he is some sort of movie star!

I bought two of these and I put it on both ends of our pond. The clarity in these pictures does not do it justice. These were screenshots on a cloudy day with slightly cloudy water. The video can be even sharper if I ran these cameras at 4K vice1080p. I turned down the resolution and bitrate since I stream it on YT 24/7. I ran out of bandwidth for higher quality because I also have 10 other 4k security cameras on the network. The build quality on these cameras are great. It's very heavy so it does not move around at all. I am not sure if it was designed to be on a moving boat inside the water but in slow moving water I have no issues. As for the software, it's relatively complicated especially for a novice. You should already know about resolution, bitrate, FPS, VBR/CBR, H.264/264, etc. Customer service (even though it's in China) was one of the best services I've ever had. They responded really quick and very detailed in their emails. They answered all my questions on the PTZ presets and other questions. If I had anything negative to say, I don't quite like the gray network cable. I prefer black so it's harder to see. My solution was to cover the cable with black 1/4" split mesh loom tubing sleeves.

"I’m very impressed with the quality of the Barlus underwater camera. As the owner of a koi business, Play It Koi I use this camera to keep an eye on my prized koi fish.

My only regret is that I wish I had purchased it earlier because a river otter recently visited our koi pond and unfortunately ate many of our koi. If I had this camera installed prior to the otter’s visit, then I would’ve easily been able to detect that there was an issue early on and stop it. At least I can now have peace of mind that I’m protected better for the future.

A couple features that I really like about this camera are
1) I’ve been able to setup live stream over the internet (RSTP) so I can monitor my fish remotely or easily broadcast my underwater camera
2) I’ve also been able to setup a live stream on my phone, so I can also check in on the koi if I’m on the go
3) The underwater light option really makes my pond glow at night and adds a nice element while also allowing me visibility at night
4) The customer support has exceeded my expectations. Any issues that I had during setup were easily resolved either by email or by allowing their tech support to remote into my computer to see that I initially set it up with the wrong IP address 😉

My recommendation to future purchasers of these cameras is to measure the amount of cord you will need closely (measure it twice) and then give yourself several extra feet of cord for wiggle room. I routed the cable under our house and found that an extra 5 ft of cable would’ve come in handy. I was ultimately able to get it to work by splicing in some CAT 6, but If I could’ve avoided that hassle for a few extra bucks I most certainly would have.

I am going to be ordering 2 more cameras here shortly!"
