To gain access to the unit the software CD has an application to locate the camera on the network. Oddly this didn’t work for us so we just went into the router and located the camera, obtaining its IP address. Once we had the IP address, we could then gain access to the cameras settings by inputting this into a web browser.

Once the login credentials have been input by the prompt, users can gain access to a variety of settings within the built-in software interface. The first page you are greeted with is the Live View, which gives a preview from the lens of Bullet HD 1080 itself.



Compared to your standard IP camera, the Bullet HD 1080 has a plethora of settings which can be tweaked at your leisure. In this review we can only show a small portion of what is available. A wide selection of video/audio related options can be configured under the “Camera” tab whilst the “Storage” tab allows a variety of recording methods to be accessed such as SD card setup, NAS server setup, email and FTP server access. This gives plenty of flexibility and can be aligned with such devices are Synology VS240HD



Coupled with the different recording methods, timed recording and motion recording are also available. Continuous recording is available but most users are likely to opt for recording via motion detection. Motion detection can be scheduled to specific days and triggered via email alert, snapshot alert and more.
