CONCLUSION

   It's been a while since i last had the chance to test an outdoor IP camera model so it was a good change to move from PC peripherals and hardware to something entirely different after so long. Of course after testing FullHD (1920x1080) IP camera models even as far back as well over 2 years ago i have to say that i was a bit skeptical about the 1600x1200 resolution of the TN1600P but in the end the difference in quality is not really that big. Long story short although we weren't really impressed with the image quality of the TN1600P we weren't disappointed either since it's actually quite good for its price range always. Image quality aside we also liked the 2D barcode hassle-free setup feature and the C4Home Cloud Service since it simplifies things quite a bit although i need to point out that we would like the zoom functionality to also extend to both the web interface and ComproView program. The lack of the usual alarm and audio in/out connectors is somewhat strange since this is the first time we've gotten our hands on an outdoor IP camera model that doesn't have them so if you want to have two-way communication (listen and talk) the TN1600P is obviously not for you.

   With a current recommended retail price tag set at USD339 inside the USA and a price tag of around 280Euros inside the EU the TN1600P Cloud Network Camera by COMPRO is not really expensive for a 2 Megapixel 1600x1200 outdoor IP66 IP camera especially since it comes with one of the easiest to use Cloud features to date. There are certainly cheaper bullet IP camera models in the market as we speak some of which offer even higher resolutions (we have some here which we will be testing in the coming weeks) but their features (and even customer support) may not be the same as the ones of the TN1600P so in the end you should really think about what you need and how much you're willing to pay for it. Overall however COMPRO has released a very good IP Camera model and although it still has a long way before we can call it perfect it's well worth our Golden Award.
