Honeywell CHC8080W1000/U C1 Wi-Fi Security Camera

No. The C1 camera is rated 0 to 40 C (32 to 104 F) and 10 to 90 percent RH non-condensing, which is an indoor-only envelope. It won't survive freezing temperatures or wet exposure, so keep it inside a conditioned space. For an unheated garage, loading dock, or exterior wall, you need a camera rated for outdoor temperature swings and moisture.

Both options are there. The C1 supports cloud storage and local recording to a microSD card of 64GB or larger. If you would rather not depend on a cloud account for a tenant unit or a small back office, run it on the SD card. Note the camera supports the card; it is not supplied with one, so order the microSD separately.

It needs an outlet. The C1 is powered by a 5V/2A power adaptor, so there's no Power over Ethernet and no battery option. Plan a receptacle within cord reach of wherever you're placing it, which usually decides mounting location more than the camera's view does.

No wired run is needed. The C1 connects over Wi-Fi on IEEE 802.11 b/g/n and also carries Bluetooth BLE 4.0, which is typically what gets it onto your network during setup. Because it's b/g/n, it works on 2.4 GHz networks, so if your site runs a 5 GHz-only SSID you'll want a 2.4 GHz band available for it.

The C1 runs on the Honeywell Lyric app for iPhone, iPad and Android. Everything you do with the camera, live view, two-way talk, alert zones and sound alerts, goes through that app. There's no separate desktop software listed for it.

It's marked FCC Class B, carries the CE Mark, and holds RoHS certification. FCC Class B is the residential/light-commercial emissions class, which is what you'd expect on a plug-in Wi-Fi camera going into an apartment, office, or retail space.

Yes. The C1 has adjustable alert zones, so you can limit motion triggers to the part of the frame that matters, a safe, a register, an entry door, and ignore the rest. It also does intelligent sound detection, so it can flag noise events even outside the motion zone. That combination is what keeps notification volume manageable when a camera is watching a busy space.

Yes, it has night vision with LEDs on board, so it keeps an image in an unlit hallway or stockroom. Point it away from glass if you're shooting through a window, since the IR bounces back off the pane and washes out the picture.

Yes, two-way talk is built in, driven from the Lyric app. Property managers use it to speak to a delivery driver or a contractor standing in a common area without being on site. It's a single indoor camera, though, not an intercom system tied to a door release.
