Nooie 360 Camera 2 2K Indoor Pet Baby Home Security Camera Review

In this video, I check out the Nooie 360 Camera 2. You can buy this indoor camera for $69.99 from Amazon US 👉🏻 amzn.to/3CbCBoE , for £55.99 from Amazon UK 👉🏻 amzn.to/3Rg5iVQ, and for €58 from Amazon DE 👉🏻 amzn.to/3LNEU4C.
This 360-degree smart home camera offers 2K resolution, 8x digital zoom, and night vision up to 10metres. In its mobile app, you can access its live camera feed, pan and tilt its camera and use its onboard microphone and speaker for 2-way communication with anyone in your home. You can also let the camera do all the work in detecting and saving any key motion events as well as keep subjects in the frame with its own motion tracking.
I’ve had the camera up and recording my home for over two weeks. I found its design makes it easy to place around the home, and its smooth curves and dark colour can make it inconspicuous in some areas, but it can also stand out in rooms with a lighter theme, so is a shame this newer model only has one colour option.
Like many others of its kind, the 360 rotation of the base is not unlimited. It will stop rotating at the rear of the camera, and to continue to pan towards the other side, it will need to rotate the opposite way to continue capturing. At this point, the subject may have left the frame and the capture of the subject would be missed.
Like other cameras I have tried, I also found its vertical capture a little limiting when mounted on a flat surface, where capturing areas below its horizontal line is limited compared to its above horizon movement. For a camera that’s also targeted toward pets, its limited below horizon tilt can struggle to capture pets roaming below it, so positioning the camera will be very important for pet use.
Unlike some other 360 cameras I have reviewed, its 360 rotation luckily isn’t that audible during its captured footage, but a buzz from the camera can be heard which sounds a bit like a notification vibration from your mobile phone. Its 2K day and night time video quality looked great on my iPhone 13 Pro display, with colour and brightness looking very natural and not over-saturated. Sadly though, its video stream to my Chromecast Ultra sadly didn’t mirror the same level of quality on my 64” Samsung TV.
Audio quality is more of a high and miss, depending on how loud the sound is and how far away the camera is from the source of the sound. At times wasn’t until I was standing right next to it that it could pick up my voice, which I found disappointing. Communicating over its 2-way voice control left audio cutouts and long enough lag that wouldn’t encourage me to communicate with anyone over a live feed again.
Nooie tried to be intuitive when it comes to panning and tilting the camera from the App through gesture control swipes on the live video feed window, but I soon found this to be far more frustrating and I would have rather preferred some on-screen buttons instead to have more granular control over the camera’s tilt and rotation. Pinching to enlarge the video feed through its 8x digital zoom didn’t maintain a good enough level of quality to continue to use this feature either.
I had high hopes for the Nooie 360 Camera 2, but my main issue with it is its App. It generally felt as if it is still in early development with a handful of basic functionality. The app also comes with poor gesture controls, that don’t work well with the speed of its hardware. There are also no perimeter privacy controls or privacy scheduling, and the event timeline for local storage is a baron and rather confusing display, and isn’t until you pay for its subscription service that some areas of the app begin to come more alive. But when it does, it doesn’t display its content as intuitively as its competitors. I had issues trying to go back to the previous week, which wasn’t available to me anymore.

[@CarPlayLife]

Thanks 😊

[@karol7349]

Does it have an option to save only events on local storage? Or local storage is only 24/7 recording

[@CarPlayLife]

I don’t think you can do that with this one.
