Safety & Privacy Considerations

  • Secure Wi-Fi Setup: Use strong, unique passwords for your network and camera account to prevent unauthorised access.
  • Firmware Updates: Regularly check for and apply firmware updates in the Imou app to patch vulnerabilities.
  • ONVIF/RTSP Use: While advanced integrations are possible:
    • “The IMOU Ranger 2C IP camera does not support HomeKit, but it DOES support ONVIF and RTSP, which is excellent.” Be cautious—RTSP access requires the camera’s safety code (printed on the device), even if you change its app password
  • Privacy Mode: Utilise the camera’s privacy mode when needed to ensure that recording or streaming is disabled, offering peace of mind.

The standard 2C offers 2 MP (1080p) imaging, while higher-end versions upgrade to 4 MP or add dual-lens PT cameras. The Dual variant also supports auto-cruise, tracking, and enhanced alert features.
