Cheap outdoor battery powered security camera. Wouldn't expect much in the way of image quality, but could be suitable as a pet cam or similar. The same camera is $115 on Mighty Ape.

This smart outdoor camera is easy to install in minutes. With motion detection sensors and enhanced night vision up to 10m, you can watch footage from your smart device and get push notifications directly to your smartphone. The Kogan SmarterHome™ Outdoor Battery Powered 1080p Wireless Security Smart Camera is compatible with Google Nest Hub and Amazon Alexa Echo Show.

Here is a review of the same camera, just under Kmart's Anko brand.

    Been considering if we need cameras at all but at $10 a pop I picked up 5 to cover the whole section. If they prove themselves useful I may well consider a better system down the line so worth the outlay just to see if we even need them.

    Good deal at $10 a pop worth a try at least. If they're no good will list on Facebook should at least get double money back. So far this is the best BF deal I've seen.

        Wonder if Kogan will honour it. Going by the popularity of this deal they probably sold at least several hundred

      • Everettpsycho on 18/11/2022 - 18:41

        Damn, well riding the pricing error train again to see if we get these honoured or not. I've got two pricing error things in progress at the moment and guess I'll have to wait until Monday for any updates.

        • Nil Einne on 18/11/2022 - 23:24

          Is interesting no sign of cancellations yet despite them seemingly catching the error quickly and with lots of the day left. Understand their staff are probably busy at the moment but still would have thought dealing with something like this has high priority. Wonder if it means they're going to fulfil the orders or could be they're still deciding what to do e.g. honour 1 for people with multiple on order.

  • Alan6984 on 18/11/2022 - 12:24

    I can't recall the exact scenario(s) where this might apply, but if customers thought the offer was reasonably likely to be real, then they might have a problem cancelling, or at least, purchasers can possibly enforce the deal.

    Given this three, and it being (partially) contemporary to the deal being in place, I would say that reasonably well informed consumers (people posting here) thought it to be a legitimate offer.

    • Nil Einne on 18/11/2022 - 12:32

      AFAIK that would only apply if you already received the item. It came up when The Warehouse were asking people to return orders that time

    • The Hound on 18/11/2022 - 21:10

      $9 vs. $99 hmm hard to say. Can argue and say that you were convinced that it was super low black Friday special.

      • Alan6984 on 18/11/2022 - 21:19

        Definitely arguable - many here thought it was a true offer.

    • Everettpsycho on 19/11/2022 - 21:20

      Same here, it changed to that withing minutes of ordering so I assume the automated system does that. That would mean there's still time to get them cancelled but hopefully they sneak through the net.

      • Wakrak on 19/11/2022 - 21:42

        I bought this moon lamp for $1.14 a few months back. It sat on processing in warehouse for a week until it got to the item dispatched date. I then got an email from the seller stating that they had cancelled the order due to a price error.

        • bigcheese on 19/11/2022 - 21:45

          I remember that one.

          I'm seeing an Aus Post tracking update saying like items "shipped and now in transit". I haven't checked to try to see how many items of this product. Thou my order and payment was for 2, and seems from earlier info it will be exactly 2. An odd situation, but looks we got away with a $90 odd discount off their standard $99.99 pricing…! . LOL.

        • ROBDEE on 23/11/2022 - 16:34

          Sorry to hear that deadfish. I suspect the reason maybe you where one of the last bunch of Cheapies to put your order in, so they where able to stop it before it got away into shipping transit. The other point would stock levels, us Cheapies probably put in total orders quantity in the many hundreds so they simply had run out of stock at your end of the orders processing. But are not admitting that, choosing it "was a pricing error" reason…

          No - it still hadn't arrive tomorrow, but subsequently, I contacted them last week, prior to placing the order, to get a back-dated estimated time of delivery for my next order.

          However, I fear that my FutureSight2000 (this is actually the model coming out next year, at which point it will be obsolete), was malfunctioning. Something to do with the historical predicator interfering with the flux-capacitor apparently.

    4 units arrived today, tested 2 and not great, there's quite a delay between the event and notification and it sometimes says my sd card is not inserted when it is. Because of the sd card issue it is unreliable. Has anyone got any idea on our to get the sd card out? you'd think it would be spring loaded but it's not. I've tried tweazers with no luck…

    • lookingatewe on 26/11/2022 - 09:05

      I've just checked my sd card slot and it is spring loaded, I can get the card out easily. If you are unlucky you may have a faulty unit or may have misaligned the card when you inserted it ( sd card contacts must be facing up towards the lens side of the cam ) and damaged the internal mechanism. I had that happen to me a few years ago with a car dash cam.

    • TheDealMan on 26/11/2022 - 10:01

      Try formatting the card on the camera itself under Settings —> Storage Settings. The camera was initially displaying an incorrect capacity for me, but formatting the card sorted it out. Wonder if that could be your issue.

  • fatboyj on 26/11/2022 - 22:13

    Got my cameras x 4 today. One had the lens glass smashed - https://imgur.com/a/oyXjemB
    how that happened in a padded package is a mystery. I set that one up, works ok, a lot of delay in the blurry pic but the mic picks up street conversation pretty well. I'll try the rest soon.

    • Everettpsycho on 05/12/2022 - 21:10

      Not sure if it's scare mongering but we ended up deciding against using cameras like this as a baby monitor. Just a lot of stories out there of people hearing people who have hacked in to them through the camera in their house which creeped us out a bit. No idea why anyone would want to do that but scared us off and ended up with a basic VTech one.

      • Wakrak on 05/12/2022 - 21:16

        Partner has been thinking that too. Any way to avoid that from happening?

        • bigcheese on 05/12/2022 - 21:39

          From what I remember, most of the hacked cameras were ones that had generic default usernames and passwords.
          So user names 'admin', password 'admin' or 'password' and the like.
          I would be changing these as a starting point.

        • Alan6984 on 05/12/2022 - 21:43

          Don't allow the camera(s) to connect to the internet perhaps.

          You could setup a separate network, and have no connection to anything else.

          • Bill on 05/12/2022 - 21:55

            @Alan6984: I think these ones are ip cams so they have to go over the network. That's how they send video rather than having to pull out the sd card or wired to a nvr, DVR etc.

            Setting up an enclosed network makes no sense, that would be for protecting other devices in case of the camera being a breach point. The problem is the camera is being an external device.

            • Alan6984 on 06/12/2022 - 11:17

              @Bill: You can have them on a network that is not connected to the internet though.

              • Bill on 06/12/2022 - 14:37

                @Alan6984: Yes, it should be configured to be on the private network, not made public.

                • Alan6984 on 06/12/2022 - 16:27

                  @Bill: Putting it on the public internet would mean giving it a public IP - really bad idea, but almost nobody would ever do that. You might mean putting it on a private network, behind a NAT router, and have one or more ports forwarded from your public IP to one or more of the cameras, but that's slightly different of course.

                  Pretty much everyone's network at home will be a private network already (utilising one of 10/8, 172.16/12, or 192.168/16) if we assume only IPv4.

                  I am suggesting you put the camera on a separate private network (from your primary private network), but the important thing, if you are concerned about the privacy issue above, is that you don't connect the camera private network to the wider (public) internet.

                  • Bill on 06/12/2022 - 17:10

                    @Alan6984: All of the cases where

                    hacked in to them through the camera in their house

                    are cameras with a public IP. There are plenty of people who accidentally do this/don't know it is doing this which means anyone can view the camera, what the worry is about.

                    The main thing to do is not make it external, on the public internet.

                    • Alan6984 on 06/12/2022 - 17:18

                      @Bill: I very much doubt many people are giving their cameras a public IP. For start, very few residential connections give you more than a single public IP, to which you have to connect your modem, which in almost all cases, is also a NAT router, so anything connected to one of the LANs of that router won't have a public IP, but rather a private one.

                      However, I am sure you've spent more time than me looking into what those people are doing (I haven't spent any time!), so I will defer to you being right that they have somehow gotten (each of) their cameras a public IP.

                      If you are correct, then it seems to be of almost no concern to anyone here, as they won't be (able to be) doing that anyway, even if they wanted to.

          • Everettpsycho on 05/12/2022 - 22:11

            @Alan6984: These out the box do need the internet to even set them up so walking it off won't work. You could see if they are flashabke or work with home assistant on something like a raspberry pi and that might get you the functionality and extra control. I've been tempted to do it with my smart home stuff but never find the time to do the research.

I didn't use the all they suggested as I've already got the arlec/bunnings one and the devices are entirely interchangeable on the apps.
