Pros and cons

✓ Pros

  • The cheapest outdoor camera here by a wide margin, with over 4,400 owner ratings behind it
  • 350° pan and 90° tilt published, so one unit sweeps a whole yard or driveway
  • Four spotlights give color night footage rather than grey infrared
  • Twin external antennas, which matters when the camera is on an outside wall away from the router

✗ Cons

  • The listing gives three different resolutions: 5MP in the title, 3MP on the image, and 1080p in the feature strip
  • IP65 is claimed in the title but not backed by any detail, and IP65 is a step below the IP66 rivals here
  • Motion detection only, with no person or vehicle filtering, so trees and passing cars trigger alerts
  • No published warranty period or night-vision range

The V380 P2 is our Best Budget outdoor pick: pan and tilt across 350°, twin external antennas, and four spotlights for color night footage, for around ₱1,900 as of August 11, 2026.

What do you get for the lowest price here?

More than you might expect. 350° of pan and 90° of tilt means one camera sweeps a whole yard or driveway, where the cheap fixed bullets watch a single direction. Four spotlights give you color night footage instead of grey infrared.

The twin external antennas are the quiet highlight. A camera on an outside wall is fighting concrete between itself and the router, and external aerials genuinely help. Several pricier cameras here have nothing but an internal antenna.

Over 4,400 owner ratings at 4.9 is real evidence at this price.

What is wrong with the listing?

It cannot decide what it is selling. The title says 5MP, the product image says 3MP, and the feature strip says 1080P. Those are three different cameras.

We record it as 3MP with the contradiction noted, and if you are buying on sharpness you should assume the lowest of the three. It is the same pattern we found on V380’s indoor Q1 and Q6 Pro listings, and it is why this ranks second rather than first.

The IP65 claim has the same problem: asserted in the title, unsupported anywhere else, and a step below the IP66 rivals. Mount it under an eave.

What else is missing?

Motion detection only. No person or vehicle filtering, which outdoors means alerts for every passing tricycle, stray cat and branch. That is the single biggest practical difference between this and the ₱3,000 cameras.

No warranty period or night-vision range is published either.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱1,900 as of August 11, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. If it lasts five years, typical for this class, that is about ₱32 a month for pan-tilt outdoor coverage with color night vision. On price alone it is very sulit; what you are paying for in the ₱3,000 band is a verified IP rating, a sharper sensor, and alerts that mean something.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you want to cover a yard cheaply, the mounting spot has some shelter, and you can live with alerts that fire at anything moving. It is the right choice for a second camera or a first one on a tight budget. If it is the only camera watching your property, spend up for a stated IP66 rating and AI filtering.

Alternatives to consider

Want a verified IP66 rating and a 4MP sensor? The Xiaomi Outdoor Camera CW300, our Best Overall pick, is around ₱3,000 with an alarm and ethernet support. Want people and vehicle analytics for less? The TP-Link EasyCam C320 has both, though only at 2MP and without panning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the V380 P2 3MP or 5MP?

The listing says both, and 1080p as well. The title claims 5MP, the product image says 3MP, and the feature strip says 1080P display. We record it as 3MP with the contradiction noted. If you are buying on sharpness, assume the lowest figure, because that is the safe reading.

Why do the antennas matter?

Because your router is inside a concrete house and this camera is going on an outside wall. Twin external antennas pull in a weaker signal than an internal aerial can, and dropped connections are the most common reason outdoor cameras disappoint. It is a genuine advantage over sealed-body rivals.

Is it really waterproof?

The title claims IP65, but no supporting detail is published anywhere on the listing. IP65 is also a step below the IP66 on the Xiaomi CW300 and DAHUA. We would mount this under an eave rather than on a fully exposed wall.

Does it filter out cars and animals?

No. It is plain motion detection, so a passing tricycle, a stray cat, or a branch in the wind all trigger the same alert. Outdoors that means a lot of notifications, and it is the main reason to spend more on a camera with AI person detection.
