The Users Review-
Nearly Perfect from USA opines
- I love innovative tech gadgetry, so just based on the design and innovation on this camera it already gets high marks from me. I was looking for a piece of rechargeable IP equipment that I could install in a location away from a power source. As such, I was willing to periodically change or charge the battery, but having a solar panel makes that step unnecessary.
- There is an additional feature to this CCTV that I did not expect. The solar panel connects to it via a micro-USB cable. This is great because if I ever get power to the location where it’s installed, I can opt to go with a wired power source. Also, should there ever be a need to top off the battery; I have a way of easily doing that.
- Two of the features I’d like to point out are the power-port cover and the magnetic mount. The ports for the power, reset, and microSD card is all covered by a thick rubber seal/lid that is built into the connection from the solar panel. As you can see in my photo, once you connect the panel, everything is sealed up very well. I do wonder why the lens doesn’t have a visor or some other protective measure around it though.
KalShar says
- The cameras were easy to install – took minutes to get them installed. Connecting to WiFi was a challenge not because of the CCTV but because I forgot my WiFi passcode. Once I put the right WiFi passcode, it connected in seconds.
- The solar charge also works great – I installed it in a sunny area and the cameras are always 100% charged, thanks to mother nature power (solar).
- Remote viewing is very quick and the cameras are clear. I can also hear the wind sound and birds chirping if nearby. I even checked from across the globe and it worked flawlessly.
- I get Alert texts all the time as the cameras are sensitive – the alerts show “Body Movement” but the problem is, I could never see the playback. When I play the message back, it keeps connecting slowly and keeps giving me a message that the network is slow – not sure why I could see live but the network is slow for playback. After few attempts, I get a picture that is barely usable – it is so bright it is washed out. There is no video either. For this reason, the video playback is useless for me.
Should I Buy It?
The camera has every function which any smart home requires in an outdoor CCTV. You can zoom in, two-way talk, get alerts and notifications, the resolution is high, solar panel powered, wifi-enabled, and weatherproof. The slight disadvantageous side is that cloud recording is not free. Overall you will be happy with its performance.
