Imou Rex 3D (3K)

The Imou REX 3D - 3K is a versatile indoor security camera with excellent features. With 5MP/3K live surveillance and panoramic photo and tilt function, every corner of your home is fully captured. Thanks to the people/pet recognition, you will quickly receive notifications upon detection. The privacy mode protects your privacy at home, while the Smart Tracking function follows moving objects.

This ideal security camera can rotate 355 degrees, tilt 90 degrees and has 8x digital zoom. With a 5-megapixel resolution, it offers excellent image quality. The Imou Life app allows easy setup. The camera has an attractive “Black Pearl” design and offers full-duplex two-way talk.

With advanced AI from Imou Sense, the camera recognizes people, pets, vehicles, packages and abnormal sounds. In private mode, the lens rotates in the housing when no surveillance is needed. In the evening, the infrared-based 3D night vision mode switches on, making everything clearly recognizable in black and white tones.

The motorized housing of the Imou Rex 3D ensures complete coverage of a room. Remotely controlled via the Imou Life app, the camera automatically tracks movement upon recognition (355 degrees horizontally and 90 degrees vertically). Ideal as a baby monitor or for pet monitoring, where you immediately receive notifications in the event of movement or strange noise. You can respond quickly via the built-in speaker and microphone. Infrared night vision guarantees clear vision in the dark. In short, a great security solution!

In the indoor camera category, Imou has delivered a very affordable gem with its Rex 3D 3K. I was allowed to test this camera and started it without too many expectations. I quickly noticed that the camera is packed with fun and meaningful functionality. Yes, a subscription can also be taken out, but as far as I'm concerned, the camera functions more than adequately without a subscription. The subscription mainly offers things like improved AI technology and cloud storage.

Installing the camera is very easy to do via the quick start guide. Once installed, you will notice what the camera has to offer.

Important functionalities are: a 3D depth sensor, 360 degrees of freedom of movement, AI detection, night vision and two-way audio. With the 3D depth sensor, the camera is better able to distinguish objects from each other and this provides better detection and classification options. The fact that the camera has a lot of freedom of movement is good for the tracking functionality. This allows the camera to track an object. Night vision also works very well and produces good images up to about 10 meters.

The camera has the option of storing the images, so that the images can be viewed live or afterwards. And the images are stored with a high resolution and that provides more than enough good images as far as I'm concerned. Overall, I think this is a really nice camera.

I had the opportunity to test this camera for several weeks. After installing the app, the further steps were easy. The camera is easy to operate and the image quality is better than expected and sharp. Also in the dark. With the app you can look in all directions. It is very quiet when running. You can speak clearly back and forth.

You can enable intruder detection or set a specific area via the app. If you want more options, a subscription is necessary.

It is possible to share this device with multiple users.
