Compro TN900RW Review

Testing – Smartphone Usage & Image Quality

TN900RW works in collaboration with C4Home. C4Home allows the user to monitor the camera from their smartphone. C4Home can be configured from the iWizard software – this helps to assign settings and enable the camera for use on this platform, the only other thing required is to download the app on a smartphone and input username/password. Below we demoed C4Home on an Android ready smartphone, it was easy to setup and offered great feedback. Furthermore, we were able to speak through the camera by simply pressing the screen and speaking.

(Note: We’ve used the same screen capture from the TN600 review because the application/process is exactly the same).

Using iWizard, the port is automatically forwarded for you so that those externally can view the camera. User accounts can be set and given certain permissions to simply monitor or access settings.

TN900RW gives plenty of flexibility for a multitude of different uses; recording footage depends on a micro SD card being present inside the camera. Below, we have uploaded a sample of the camera footage with the following settings: SVGA – 800x600 using H.264 codec which outputs an .avi file. Footage is filmed at best quality 3Mbps and 30 frames per second. Footage is uploaded direct to YouTube without any additional compression. *recording footage direct to computer requires IE – does not work with other browsers*






Although this camera is capable of 720p (1280x720), choosing it within the software suite is problematic – this feature is actually found in the incorrect location. Once 1280x720 is selected, for some unknown reason the focal zoom on the camera increases and the field of view is reduced. Furthermore, rather than night mode being in monochrome (black and white) there is a strong purple tone throughout the footage as per below clip:
