      didn't see that 1 - is it still active?

        Your deal is cheaper for USD, just TomTop's AUD rates are highly inflated. If you pay in USD on TomTop though it works out cheaper. I'll edit the deal with proper exchange rates now. US $15.99 = AU $20.23 via MasterCard rates but TomTop say it's AU $21.75.

        Edit: Done

    Thanks OP. Using the 320 points from new account + newsletter sign up + profile photo upload brings this down to US$12.79 :)

  • hopper on 26/07/2017 - 07:54

    Got an email from them last night saying that my power bank order is cancelled as customs didn't allow the battery. Waiting for refund

    • Clear on 26/07/2017 - 08:05

      Seems like Banggood are the only ones that can get them past customs.

      • lostn on 26/07/2017 - 11:54

        BG actually refused to sell me the battery due to my country not allowing them and wanted to refund me. I said no. They asked again, I said no.

        Then I saw it cheaper at Tomtop and tell them, ok cancel it, then ordered a new one. They waited a few days, then said no, we sent it a few days ago. Somehow they managed to negotiate their way past customs. So I am stuck with two of them. But if these guys can't get past customs either.. I feel like I'm just being kicked around like a ball.

      TomTop were the only ones able to deliver spare batteries for my VISUO XS809W quadcopter, Gearbest and Banggood won't ship batteries to Australia, Everbuying also refunded me. Have received 4 so far and ordered another 2 last week.

      Edit: Just checked and they have updated their listing they can no longer ship to Australia, my last two have been shipped so I hope they get through.

  • OnTheMark on 26/07/2017 - 08:49

    I just paid via PayPal for AU$20.92.

    CashRewards has reported the before discount sale value, so it's saying that the expected cash back is $2.72 - if that goes through, the final price of AU$18.20 is crazy cheap!

        quality is good, night vision through glass is bad.
        I haven't modified it as yet.. just use the app, the location set as China, so the time on the output is 2hrs behind..
        Will soon mod it at a later stage.

          Night vision through glass will always be crap due to the IR reflection.

          Ditto..
          Motion alarm is pretty good if you don't expect motion in its vision.
          For example - birds can set motion alarm even in low sensitivity.
          Also motion alarm sends you notification and then you can go and download the video, so it does not directly sends the video.

          You can set timer for it to turn on or off.

          Now a new option has come up to move stored videos to router storage, but it requires special directory structure so have not tried it yet.

  • R3XNebular on 26/07/2017 - 10:31

    How are people powering these things? Would it be okay to get an extension cord and just run it through the roof to where I want it? I already have an analogue camera set up but quality sucks. My cupboard has a hole that I'm fitting the cables through. Thinking of just having a 20 or 30m with a USB powerpoint connected then popping this little camera out where the old Analogue cameras are..

    • ntb on 26/07/2017 - 10:44

      It comes with usb cable and a power brick. You can power it via any usb port.

    • slam on 26/07/2017 - 10:47

      I use Power over Ethernet from my Unifi switch. I connect the ethernet cable to a PoE-48v to MicroUSB 5v converter and power the camera from that.

      I have the option of remotely disabling the power or enabling the power at will via the Unifi interface too.

      Quite neat. Deciding if I should buy a second camera now or more.

      • R3XNebular on 26/07/2017 - 10:49

      • cheepo on 26/07/2017 - 16:17

  • letmethefuqin on 26/07/2017 - 17:00

    Honestly This is one of the Worst websites I have tried to buy off.
    Having never used them before, I signed up and tried to purchase, there was problems with their payment gateway as other people have pointed out.
    Due to this error I had lost my points applying to a discount.

    I tried numerous times over the past 7 hours to process the sale and It didn't happen.
    I contacted support twice with no reply.

    I tried their online chat which seems very very dodgy, and it was offline most of the time.
    When it was online I was in a queue.. and then randomly it decided to go off line.

    When I did connect with someone they never responded and it went offline.

    While the price was good on this Item it wasn't worth the hassle of trying to buy.
    Banggood and Gearbest are a lot more manageable.

    Ps - 13 years in business and they still can't get their shit together?

    • PR0r on 26/07/2017 - 19:26

      Not sure what your deal is but I just signed up in under a minute. Then used paypal at checkout and was done. Couldn't have been easier and at $16, I'm very happy.

      • letmethefuqin on 26/07/2017 - 20:29

        Well according to them, this is how they handled their end of the stuff up, a few of us had gateway errors, I'm not saying that It wasn't easy for some, but the way support handled it was beyond a joke.
        Apparently they want/have pictures of my credit card now??

        Dear customer,

        I am sorry for that your order did not confirmed timely.
        So the order is canceled by the system and the payment failed be charged.
        If you still want the order,I am afraid you have to submit a new order and let me know the order so I can confirm it timely. Because we have got your credit card pictures,if you have got the picture asking email please ignore it.Thanks.

        Best Regards,

  • digitalaxon on 26/07/2017 - 19:46

    I got my camera delivered yesterday from a previous deal - Tried installing Mi Home software on my S7 - get as far as the 'wait for audio' - no further, tried my Samsung tablet, version not compatible - can't install, tried my nexus 7 tablet, version not compatible can't install.

    This has to be one of the most frustrating pieces of hardware I've ever bought that I fear is going to become worthless very quickly. Perhaps this weekend I'll try again…

    • greenie4242 on 27/07/2017 - 04:07

      I had the same problem, none of my Android devices were compatible with Mi Home, but these instructions fixed the problem for me:

      If Mi Home won't install from the Play Store, you should be able to install it manuall using the APK installer file:
      https://apkpure.com/mihome/com.xiaomi.smarthome/download?fro…

      After it's downloaded, open the APK file (or launch it, depending on what software your mobile or tablet uses) the click Install, and it should install itself without using Google Play. You may need to turn on the "Unknown Sources" setting before Android allows installing APK files. Help with that problem is here if needed:
      http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-install-non-market-th…

      Everything I've read suggests you should download version 4.0.11 first, then after the camera is set up you can update it if you wish. You need to make sure you click "China" or "Mainland China" as your location in the software, as the software disables the camera for any other location.

      If the camera won't recognise the QR code displayed, make sure you first remove the plastic film over the front lens! I didn't the first time, and wasted nearly half an hour wondering why it wouldn't scan the code. Despite the film looking pretty clear, it still was too blurry. Removed it, and the camera burst into life within seconds.

          first attempt to run it under zoneminder i hooked it up to wifi SSD 1 in my house with all default picture settings available after the hack. The bitrate was too high for the wifi link and i got terrible dropouts all the time. second attempt, i switched it to my other access point with apparently better signal. i also tuned down the picture to 720p and lower bitrate. PERFECTLY reliable in ZM…..moreso than my $19 kmart 720p cams from a few years ago.

        It worked! Package showed up a couple of hours after posting.

        Cannot get camera working with Mi app on phone, but it got as far as putting the wifi details in.
        Loaded the hacks. Lots of mucking about. RTSP server only works if started manually after manually running the 00-stop-cloud service.
        Is that normal?

        Will do more reading and try it from zoneminder another day.
