Wireless security cameras are become a common sight these days as the fear of having being broken into is a great motivator for extra security. It’s no surprise that peripheral maker, Aztech, has brought out the WIPC409HD (409HD) camera for those who are a tad bit cautious. Is it worth your time?

Jacked In

For starters, setting up the 409HD is very straightforward. Hook this up into a power socket and connect it to your modem/router, then download the app on your smartphone. Linking the camera to the app is just a matter of scanning the QR code to get it going. Once done, plug in the microSD and mount the device – hey presto, all is good!

Connection Based Performance

Performance on the other hand, depends heavily on your home Internet’s connection quality as well as the video output quality of the camera. During the review, the camera is able to work without a problem at 360p resolution. However, at 1080p, the camera immediately slows down to a slideshow.
