IP Camera Buying Guide for Bangladesh: What to Check Before You Buy
An IP camera lets you watch your home, shop or office from your phone. With so many models, specifications can be confusing. This guide explains what to check before you buy an IP camera in Bangladesh, so you choose one that matches where and how you will use it.
1. Decide where it will be installed
Start with the place. Most Wi-Fi cameras on our store are designed for indoor use, such as a living room, shop counter, office or baby room. If you need coverage outside, check the product page carefully for weather protection before ordering.
2. Choose the video resolution
Resolution decides how clear the picture is. Common options are 1080p (2MP) Full HD, 3MP (2K) for sharper detail, and 5MP (3K) for the highest detail. Higher resolution gives finer detail but may use more storage and bandwidth, so match it to what you really need to see.
3. Check night vision
If you want to watch at night, look for infrared or color night vision and its range, for example 5 or 10 meters. Check the stated range, because it tells you how far the camera can see in the dark.
4. Pick the camera type
- Pan and tilt dome cameras: rotate to cover a whole room, such as the EZVIZ CP1 Lite, EZVIZ H6c Pro and Imou Ranger 2 Pro.
- Bulb cameras: screw into a standard E27 socket and need no separate mounting, such as the Imou Bulb Cam 2C 2K and Smart WiFi Bulb Camera.
- Mini cameras: compact and easy to place, such as the A9 Mini WiFi Camera.
5. Look at smart features
Many models offer motion or human detection, two-way audio and alarm alerts to your phone. Some also track movement automatically. Check which features each model lists, such as the AI human detection on the Imou Ranger Mini.
6. Plan your storage
Cameras usually store video on a MicroSD card, in the cloud, or both. Check the maximum MicroSD size the camera supports (for example up to 512GB on some EZVIZ models), and whether cloud storage is optional or paid.
7. Check Wi-Fi and power
A camera needs a stable Wi-Fi signal where you place it. Some models support dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz). Also check how the camera is powered, such as USB, Micro USB or USB-C, and make sure a power outlet is close by.
8. Think about privacy and security
Use cameras responsibly. Point them only at areas you own or have permission to watch, and never place them where people expect privacy, such as bathrooms or changing areas. Set a strong, unique password on the camera app, and keep the app updated.
