The CP-Z43Q wants to be your home's digital watchdog, but after a week of living with this ₹3,300 security camera, I've discovered it's more like a well-meaning guard who occasionally dozes off during crucial moments.

The dual antennas stand at attention like rabbit ears, promising robust connectivity that, spoiler alert, don't quite deliver. The 3-meter power cable is permanently attached, a design choice that's either perfectly adequate or frustratingly limiting, depending on where your nearest outlet lives. The mounting hardware deserves credit though; actual metal screws and proper wall anchors instead of the usual plastic pretenders that wouldn't hold up a picture frame.
