There are a number of different ways to access the Bullet via smartphone. In the past we have used IP Cam Viewer with allows for the inclusion of numerous cameras, giving the user the ability to fully control the unit.

Above demonstrates this application when using Bullet. We are using wireless connectivity, the image quality is good and the range of vision with this camera is also good with its wide-angle lens. We do however note how bright the image is but we couldn’t find any options inside the software to adjust the exposure levels – this option would have been useful.

Video Footage

To capture footage we can store data on a micro SD card or direct to NAS. For this series of tests we recorded to micro SD.

Daytime Footage





The daytime footage was shot in 720p and 1080p modes. For 720p the maximum framerate we can choose is 30FPS and for 1080p the maximum is 18FPS. This is of course also dependent upon the bandwidth being fed to the camera – so if using WiFi the signal needs to be strong to get the best performance.

As you can see from both clips, the picture is clear and the movement is fluid – although we’d have liked to see more than 18FPS as a maximum for 1080p. Our main qualm to criticise is the fact that we could not directly upload the output video files to YouTube because the format is not supported (.mov) – instead we had to convert to another compatible format such as AVI.

Night time Footage





For the night mode we used the same settings again and filmed inside the same room in pitch dark surroundings. The detail levels at 720p and 1080p are similar and Bullet offers great image quality via the Infrared mode. 720p will offer smoother movement but lack the extra pixels of 1080p – users will obviously need to decide whether they favour more fluid operation or higher resolution.
