already have several security cameras that are powered off via a hole drilled through the wall, but I wanted a camera in the back of our house and the only mounting location that would do the right recording area is not to have a power source available so I needed a fully wireless camera as this came complete with a solar panel which reduces the number of charges required which I ordered. When opened, this security camera kit comes with everything needed to install it on a wall, post or fence. The main camera is a separate unit from the solar panel. If the camera is shaded, the solar panel can still be positioned on its own mount facing the sun. A small cable connects the two units. Build quality is about average so I would put this in the range of a budget camera that says it's waterproof so it can be used all year round. I cannot comment on value for money as this is listed as unavailable at the time of writing. I would recommend doing a full charge via the USB cable before attaching and setting up. Then the solar panel should help maintain the battery level depending on the position and the number of sunny days. I've found that the solar panel doesn't work at all on cloudy days, so a lot depends on where you live and if it's south facing. Once the camera has been powered on, it can be paired and set up in the free app that can be downloaded onto a smart device. I had no problems pairing at all, although I did this before taking the camera outside to be mounted so it was close to my router and phone. That way I would recommend it. As this is a battery powered camera, many of the normal options that come standard with an AC adapter are not available. Most of these are designed to increase the amount of time between charges. The main feature not available on a battery camera is the ability to take steady shots, which is understandable as that would drain the power pretty quickly. The recordings for this are all made from the motion sensor which, when triggered, will start recording for a set time. Movement and recording times, as well as various other options, can be accessed through the app. I always prefer recording locally to the cloud, so I fitted a 128GB SD card and formatted it ready for use. If required, this provides the option for cloud recording at a low monthly cost. Since this is a PTZ camera, it can be panned and tilted in any useful direction from the smart device. The image can also be zoomed but I find the quality drops so I wouldn't normally use it. Overall this is a very nice budget security camera kit with the added benefit of including a solar panel which reduces the number of charges. This must be taken into account when comparing prices. The HD picture is at 1080p and streams over 2.4GHz WiFi without too many hiccups, this depends on the router setup of roughly. Along with a fairly decent daytime image, this also has an automatic night mode using infrared, which again is clear enough to be able to spot identifying features if needed. I found this to be far better than some other budget cameras I've used that could only see at night what I could see looked like blurry ghosts lol. If you can't run from mains power or just need the convenience of a cordless option, you can't go wrong with this set. However, I will say that a mesh option is always the best way to go, if at all possible.

The solar powered Surveillance camera is very good due to the portability. Detection is quick and video quality is good. Other reviews have had problems with the camera on their WiFi network. As long as there is a good strength WiFi signal and your upload speed is above 2 mbs there should be minimal problems.

An external solar-powered camera suitable for setting up and watching your property, especially outdoors.
You can connect to the camera via 2.4GHz WLAN. It is solar powered via a separate solar panel with a 3M cable, so it can be located away from the camera's location. This way, you can locate the panel to get the maximum sunlight it needs. It has a 355-degree pan and tilt view, a spotlight, a PIR motion sensor, super HD night vision, and is compatible with 2-way rakes. Besides, it is waterproof up to IP66.
However, please note that you need to place it where it will receive maximum sunlight to keep it charged and give it enough power to work in winter.
The camera is operated via the "uBox" app and has cloud and micro SD card, secure storage and remote access. It supports up to 128GB SD card, although this is not included, which is a shame, but they are cheap enough these days, which is why I always wonder why they don't include one, maybe it's to get you to buy the cloud storage.
You can also charge it via USB, especially handy for the winter months when the sun may not be strong enough to fully charge the camera.
I wanted this camera to keep an eye on my garden area, as it's difficult to locate power cables on an exterior wall without drilling large holes. This solar system is hopefully the answer when our winters allow it to be sufficiently charged. I have a garden that faces east/west so it can track the sun all day, and I believe it will charge even on the cloudiest days. I will report back now that summer seems to be over and let you know if the batteries are sufficiently charged. But as mentioned, you have the option of charging USB either via a powerbank or other mobile source, but I may update it when winter comes.
The camera and panel were easy to mount with the included screws and connected effortlessly to my WLAN. I didn't have to turn off my 5 GHz setup for this to happen.
The camera is easy to operate, via the app on your phone or pad, even remotely.
A great, solidly built kit that I hope is as reliable as it looks.
I'm happy to recommend it.

I was pleasantly surprised by this surveillance camera. Since it is powered only by solar energy, it works remarkably well.

When I took the camera out of the box, I noticed that it had a good weight to it and felt of pretty good quality. Setup was straightforward - the instruction manual includes a QR code that you can scan to download the app. Just register an account and then the app will search for the camera. Then it's time to put the camera in the position you want.

The camera comes with the screws and plates needed to drill, but I'm lazy so I used Gorilla tape. If you haven't used this stuff before, it's time to get to know it It's a double-sided tape that sticks permanently both inside and out. I've used it to hang solar lights, camera doorbells, and now this camera with no problems and total security. Wait... I should check the camera....

Anyway, the picture quality is really great for a solar powered device. I'm sure you could get better image quality with other cameras, but then you would pay a lot more and it would probably need to be wired. It depends on what you are really looking for, but this camera is ideal for our needs. We have a summer house in our backyard, so we use it to keep an eye out for potential intruders.

There is a monthly subscription that you need if you want to automatically record footage. You will also need an SD card for storage. However, without the above, you can view the feed and manually press record when you see something going on. The camera sends a notification to your phone when it detects motion, which is a handy feature. However, it is very sensitive and often recorded the tree blowing in the wind. However, you can adjust the sensitivity of the motion detection feature if you want.

Overall super satisfied with this device and happy to recommend it to others

The advantage of a solar powered camera is the ability to continuously charge it with just sunlight.

The K&F Concept Solar Panel is a simple solar panel with 10ft Micro USB charging cable and mounting hardware.
It can charge your security or doorbell cameras without having to remove them to charge or run a power cord.
A bit of sun daily could keep the cameras from running out of power.

I tested a few cameras and they were able to charge them at about 8% per hour, which was almost as fast as a 5V power supply.

Battery powered security cameras can last months before needing to be charged,
but sensitive motion sensors that trigger constant recording can quickly drain the battery.
The K&F Concept Solar Panel could allow cameras to run constantly.
Also, cameras could be placed in hard-to-reach places and just let them charge and run with some sunlight.

In order to be able to use the solar panel optimally, it should be placed where it achieves the highest hours of sunshine with the highest sun intensity.

I love that this camera is solar powered and I don't have to worry about running power cords or charging anything. It has a motion detection light and a super loud siren to deter intruders, which you can turn on or off in the app. It sends notifications to my phone. It has a built-in microphone so you can talk to whoever is on the camera. You can view up to 4 cameras at once and share the camera feed with other people who have the app (if you want). It has amazing photo and video quality, even at night. The price is spot on and I couldn't be happier with this purchase.
