IMOU P&T Cruiser 2 IPC-GS7EP-5M0WE - surveillance camera 5MP Wi-Fi (white)

The IMOU P&T Cruiser 2 IPC-GS7EP-5M0WE 5MP Wi-Fi IP video camera is an outdoor pan/tilt camera with 3K resolution, full-color night vision, built-in spotlight and siren. It covers several tasks at once: yard and car control, entrance protection, small business monitoring and quick response to incidents from your phone.

Briefly on the "iron"

• Matrix: 1/2.7" CMOS, 5 MP, resolution 2880×1620 (3K QHD) at 25 fps.

• Lens: 3.6 mm, viewing angle up to 102° diagonally (about 85° horizontally).

• Pan/Tilt: 0–340° horizontal, 0–90° vertical + 8× digital zoom.

• Illumination: IR + white spotlight, range up to 30 m, several night vision modes (b/w, full color, smart mode).

• Audio: built-in microphone and speaker, two-way communication + loud siren for scaring.

• Network: 1× RJ-45 100 Mbps + Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz with Wi-Fi 6 support, range up to ~120 m in open space.

• Storage: microSD up to 256 GB + Imou cloud + NVR/ONVIF connection.

• Protection: metal/plastic, IP66, operating temperature from approximately −30 °C to +60 °C.

Key benefits from a practitioner's perspective

1. Maximum coverage without “dead zones”

Thanks to the 340° rotation and 90° tilt, one camera can effectively cover a large yard, the facade of a private house, or the parking lot in front of an office. The installer places it so that with one click in the application, the view can be shifted from the gate to the car, from the gate to the terrace – instead of three or four separate cameras.

For the contractor, this means less drilling and cable laying, and for the owner, savings on equipment and recording.

2. Detailed 3K image

The 5-megapixel matrix gives a 3K image, where small details are normally readable: the license plate, the face at the gate, objects in the hands. This is important when it comes to real evidence - not just "something moved", but you can see who exactly came in, when and from where.

3. Full-color night and real scare

The camera combines IR illumination and a white spotlight. There are four night vision modes, so you can choose the behavior for the object:

• classic IR, when maximum range is needed;

• full color when details are important (clothes, car color);

• smart mode: the camera works in IR, but when a person is detected, it turns on the spotlight and color.

Together with the siren, it works as active security: when intruded, there is a light in the face, a loud sound, and a push notification to the phone. In practice, this is often enough for a person to turn around and leave.

4. “Smart” alerts instead of constant spam

Cruiser 2 uses IMOU SENSE – a proprietary AI platform that learns to distinguish people and vehicles from random movement of leaves or a cat. Human detection up to ~22 m, car detection up to ~44 m. This provides adequate notifications: when someone alive enters the yard or a car drives up, and not every night “wind and bushes”.

Plus, there is auto-tracking – the camera itself keeps the object in the frame so as not to lose it, even if the person moves diagonally or approaches from the side.

5. Two-way communication and work without constant internet

Through the built-in microphone and speaker, the owner can talk to the courier, visitor, or stranger at the gate directly from the app.

The video is written to a memory card or recorder even if the Internet was down at the time of the event - the main thing is that there is a local network and power. Then the recording can be pulled directly from the camera or NVR.

6. Flexible integration

The camera supports ONVIF, has LAN and Wi-Fi 6 – it can be installed in both simple “home” scenarios with one router and more complex schemes with a separate router for cameras, a PoE switch and an NVR.

Recommended usage scenarios

Private house / cottage

• control of gates, wickets, garage doors;

• supervision of the yard, playground, barbecue area;

• perimeter control along the fence, if the camera is placed in a corner to view both sides at once.

Parking space, parking lot, courtyard of a high-rise building

• monitoring of parked cars;

• fixing the entrance and courtyards;

• scaring away “night guests” with a spotlight and siren.

Small business

• entrance group of a store, cafe, service station, car wash;

• loading/unloading area;

• perimeter control of a warehouse or service yard.

Cottage, remote sites with Wi-Fi

• security during the period when there is no one on the site;

• checking the condition of the house after bad weather;

• surveillance of cooperative gates, shared parking, etc.

Installation conditions and practical recommendations

1. Installation height.
   Optimally, 2.7–3.5 m above ground level. This way, the camera “reaches” faces and numbers, but leaves minimal access for vandals.

2. Place of attachment.
   A wall, a corner of a house, a sturdy bracket. It is desirable that the base does not vibrate (a thin metal profile is a bad idea).

3. Orientation.
   Do not point the lens directly at bright headlights, spotlights, or a window with a lot of glare. The swivel/tilt allows you to “reach” the desired area after installation without re-drilling.

4. Power and network.
   The camera operates on 12 V DC, consumes up to ~12 W, so it is better to lay the power cable with a margin in cross-section. If it is possible to pull out UTP, it is better to lay LAN right away, even if the camera will initially work via Wi-Fi.

5. Wi-Fi coverage.
   On the street, the actual range is always less than the “passport” 120 m – walls and ceilings eat up the signal. If the router is far away, a separate access point is often placed closer to the camera.

6. Protection from weather conditions.
   IP66 allows you to place the camera in rain, snow, and dust, but practice shows: if it is possible to hide it under a cornice, the resource of the nodes only benefits.

7. Software settings.
   After installation, it makes sense:

   • set detection zones so as not to react to the road behind the fence;

   • set a notification schedule (for example, only at night or during non-working hours);

   • select night vision mode, sensitivity, and siren/floodlight behavior.

What problems does this camera solve?

1. “I don’t know what happens around the house when I’m not there.”
   Online access from the application, archive on the map or in the cloud, push notifications by person/car – you see not just the fact of movement, but a specific event from the video.

2. “There are cameras, but you can’t see anything at night.”
   Full-color night with white backlighting provides a clear picture, not gray noise. Especially critical for yards and parking lots.

3. “There are more false alarms than real events.”
   AI detection of people and vehicles filters out random traffic. Less spam means a higher chance that an important notification won't be ignored.

4. “Something happened, but there is no record.”
   Local recording on microSD up to 256 GB + the ability to connect an NVR provide redundancy. Even short internet outages do not mean loss of evidence.

5. “You need to not only see, but also influence the situation.”
   Two-way audio communication, a siren, and a spotlight make it possible not only to record the fact, but also to stop the action - to contact the person, warn, and scare.

6. “I am afraid that part of the territory will remain uncontrolled.”
   Pan/tilt + wide viewing angle effectively replaces multiple static cameras. You set preset positions yourself and quickly “fly” between zones.

In conclusion, the IMOU P&T Cruiser 2 IPC-GS7EP-5M0WE 5MP Wi-Fi is a working tool for those who want not just a “tick box”, but a truly controllable, smart and active video surveillance system with minimal infrastructure requirements.
