Which ABUS security camera fits the job

Updated: 16 October 2026

You have already chosen ABUS, and amazon.co.uk is still showing six prices as if they were one camera. In this set an ABUS security camera is a monitor and camera, an outdoor 4K app camera, an indoor cube, or a lamp that may need 230 volts. The [ABUS security camera comparison](/hub/electronic-surveillance/abus-security-camera) is the table. This page is the fork: how you watch, and how the unit is powered, before a star line decides it. The Products Compared editorial team used the listings captured on 15 October 2026. We did not laboratory-test any camera. A qualifying purchase can earn us a commission at no extra cost to you.

Four ABUS designs in this set

The EasyLook BasicSet PPDF17000 (B0B4SYR61Y) is a camera plus a 7-inch monitor at £350.99, 4.4 from 183 ratings, IP66, with a resolution cell that says 3.0 rather than 1080p or 4K. The PPIC54520B (B0DJRGY6HC) is the outdoor 4K camera at £148.66, IP66, watched in App2Cam Plus, 3.4 from 18 ratings. The PPIC31020 (B09LYJBZCD) is the indoor cube at £96.47, 1080p, 180 degrees, a privacy flap, and an 8 GB card named in the box, 4.0 from 168 ratings. The listing says it is not water resistant. The lamps are a separate job. The PPIC46520 (B0C6626ZL7) is £239.82, 4.0 from 118 ratings, IP66, with up to 1,000 lumens claimed. The CASA30500 (B009XBMPR8) at £221.23 is the odd listing: a garbled title, 480p, 60 degrees, and no Customer Reviews line. If the frame will include a pavement or a neighbour's garden, read home CCTV rules UK before you drill.

Power decides the hole in the wall

Only the PPIC46520 states 230 volts, at 17 watts, and the bullets sell it as a replacement for an existing outdoor light. That is mains work. In England it sits under Approved Document P. This page does not decide whether your swap is notifiable, and Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland have their own rules. The EasyLook camera is 12 volt corded, and the monitor battery is about two hours, so the screen moves for a short spell and the camera does not. None of the six is a solar camera. If the eaves only have a low-voltage plug, the 230 volt lamp is the wrong hole.

App, card, and the subscription bullet

Three listings name App2Cam Plus and say access is free of a subscription: the PPIC54520B, the PPIC31020, and the PPIC46520. Their bullets also say you can view while you are away. The PPIC31020 names an 8 GB card in the box; the table's 128 GB figure is a capacity, not the card supplied. The PPIC54520B mentions a microSD and does not print the size. The PPIC46520 mentions a microSD, and the table says 128 GB of flash installed. EasyLook does not name a cloud plan. You insert a microSD of up to 128 GB, and the card is not listed as included. The PPIC36520 says you talk through an app and does not name App2Cam Plus. The CASA30500 says wired and wireless and names neither an app nor a card. The three App2Cam Plus listings are the ones whose bullets promise a view while travelling. EasyLook reviews that chose the set say you cannot watch it away from the monitor. Bullets against the Wi-Fi cell are set out on ABUS camera without Wi-Fi.

What to skip

If you want no app, skip the PPIC31020. It is the best value here for one indoor room, at £96.47, and the wrong object if you refuse a phone. Skip the CASA30500 if you thought £221.23 bought 4K. The table says 480p, and the range is printed as both 8 metres and 30 metres, with no reviews to settle either figure.

Common questions

Monitor or phone?
Choose the EasyLook when you want a 7-inch monitor and you accept that reviews say you cannot watch it away from that screen. Choose the PPIC54520B, the PPIC31020, or the PPIC46520 when App2Cam Plus, including a view while travelling, is the feature you came for. The monitor set is £350.99. The indoor cube is £96.47. They are two prices for two habits, from the listings captured on 15 October 2026.
Which one replaces a mains light?
The PPIC46520, at 230 volts and 17 watts, is sold to replace an existing outdoor light, with up to 1,000 lumens claimed. The older PPIC36520 claims up to 950 lumens and does not state a voltage. A 230 volt swap is work for a competent person. This page does not give a wiring sequence, and it does not decide whether the job is notifiable.
Is the CASA30500 a current 4K camera?
No. The CASA30500 table prints 480p and a 60 degree view, at £221.23, with no Customer Reviews line. The 4K listing in this set is the PPIC54520B at £148.66. The CASA bullets say 8 metres and the night-vision cell says 30 metres. Both figures are printed, and neither is a test we ran. The title on that saved listing is also garbled.
Why is the dearest set the one without remote viewing?
The EasyLook is £350.99 because the box includes a 7-inch monitor, and its bullets say no extra device. Reviews that picked it for that reason also say you cannot watch it away from home. The cheaper app cameras cost less partly because the screen is the phone you already own, and they then depend on the network those EasyLook reviews were trying to avoid.
What should you ignore on the PPIC31020 item-type line?
Ignore the name PPIC91000. The title, model 91236, and part number on B09LYJBZCD are the indoor PPIC31020. PPIC91000 is a different battery camera. This cube is 1080p, 180 degrees, 5 volt plug-in, and not water resistant. The 8 GB card named in the box is the card supplied. The 128 GB cell is a capacity.
