three modes are offered here: an infrared mode, a color mode and an alarm mode.

► Brand manufacturers are making it increasingly difficult for other camera manufacturers to establish themselves successfully. In order to be able to counter this, the scope of services and the price must be right.
Can you expect a good outdoor-capable camera for currently around €160, which instead of Full HD (1,080p) offers 2K, a light with infrared and alarm, two-way audio and a horizontal rotation range of 355° and 120° vertically ? Yes, you can, because I haven't found any real vulnerabilities so far. So if you can do without 4K, you can buy a good device at an attractive price, which tends to cost more from other manufacturers and also offers flawless workmanship and good optics.

►► In short: attractive appearance, flawless workmanship, power connection required(!), sharp photos/videos, spotlight, two-way audio and with direct recording option (micro SD card), optional cloud storage, thanks to the motor. Control 360° monitoring possible. This ensures good comfort overall.

► There are many good reasons for a camera surveillance system, which is why I have been using various cameras indoors and outdoors for years. The K&F surveillance camera is specially designed for outdoors. My previous cameras are used to monitor pets, but of course I also want to know what happens in my/our absence. For many parents in the home, this is certainly a key reason to buy a surveillance camera. I really don't want to think about burglars here...

► Installation: The instructions are very helpful and should be able to fix any problems. Within this, the connection of the camera succeeds quite quickly and you can then get started immediately. Here you can set a few things and call up recordings.

First you have to agree to the terms of use and data protection guidelines in the German-language app and then register (e-mail, password). After this procedure you also have access to the data in the camera (card) and other settings ("Settings"). You also have access to your camera on the go. You are guided within the well-structured and so far stable app, so that the cameras can then be called up separately. On a smartphone/tablet, the whole thing with images/videos looks pretty decent, although you can make appropriate changes to the settings. Fiddle around a bit to try some things, e.g. B. when creating scenes, routines / schedules, within which the camera should be "sharp", or when the light should be switched on.

► What the cameras can do - Requirements for good reception
Based on my previous experiences with other cameras of this or a similar type, I was not disappointed here either, although I prefer operation via LAN cable, at least indoors, for fundamental reasons.

The respective image from the surveillance camera is detailed and sharp during the day. If you zoom in (digitally), this is more or less at the expense of the sharpness, despite 2K, because there is no optical zoom. In night vision mode and tending to low light and in the dark, the image is still satisfactory and not faint and blurry. Then black and white without light, but ok
If, on the other hand, the spotlight is activated, you have color and more details even in the dark. This is a certain added value and may also serve as a deterrent, whereby the infrared mode detects movements and then activates the light, while the alarm mode lives up to its name... ;-) The area to be monitored regularly should be narrowed down as precisely as possible in
advance , so that the camera despite motor. Control does not need to be panned in the main viewing area. Not to forget the important remote access: this worked quite well in the test, as long as you are not stuck in a dead spot, you will (hopefully) be notified in good time if something happens.

► A battery was not installed here, which limits the flexibility in a certain way. A protected (!) power connection (possibly with an extension cable) must therefore be available. But this also has the advantage that the camera can be used more frequently without the battery (with or without solar) dying too quickly... ►

What else is important? You have to do without an optical zoom here. However, that is not to be expected in this price range and is also not standard. But there is also a solid two-way audio (intercom function). All in all, a nice performance package.

► Keyword data/theft: If the camera accidentally falls into the wrong hands, the data recorded on the micro SD card will fall into the wrong hands. An occasional data backup (PC or similar) can't do any harm anyway, although the question is what third parties want to do with the recordings... (unless thieves break in and cover up tracks...). The cloud service is therefore not absolutely necessary here.

►►► Conclusion: Overall, the camera makes a good impression in terms of equipment and also visually. Ensure the best possible reception, because there are many sources of interference lurking in the 2.4 GHz network, which can have an unfavorable effect. If that works, you get a smooth, sharp picture during the day, with a limited wide angle, but also motor. Steering. The resolution in the dark is also good using the spotlight, although a number of details can also be made out at a distance in addition to the color view.

Note: Alarms ("warning notifications") via motion detection/sounds are possible, ok for my purposes and therefore usable. Remote access also works, which means extra security on the go. Nevertheless, if there are any problems (too many/too few alarms), you should generally tinker a little and avoid moving backgrounds or background noise as much as possible.

Despite the lack of long-term experience, there are also four stars from a price point of view because I like the scope of services.

This surveillance camera can be connected to the WLAN network. It has a two-way audio system so you can talk to the other person.

The sound quality is okay. The camera has infrared night vision and delivers a very good black and white picture on the phone. In daylight you get a sharp and high-contrast color image.

The surveillance camera is also Alexa-compatible, but I hadn't been able to establish a connection and actually don't need it.

The camera also has motion detection and can then send a message to the recipient.
You can use the camera with an SD card up to a maximum of 120 GB, this is unfortunately not included in the scope of delivery.

After installing the app, for which you unfortunately have to register again, you can also rent cloud storage for a fee (the first six months are free). This means you can keep an eye on everything at home, even when you're on the go, no matter where you are in the world.

The camera can rotate 120° vertically and 355° horizontally. This can all be controlled via the app. That worked fine right away.

I would recommend this camera, it was fairly easy to set up and the images are of excellent quality. So I'm happy to give it five stars and a buy recommendation.

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.

I was looking for a good surveillance camera to keep an eye on my car. Now I have found it. The camera is battery operated and recharges itself through the solar panel. The installation is therefore very simple, without annoying power connection. The image quality is exceptionally good. In addition, the camera has a motion detector & is swiveling, ie you can always look who just rings at the front door.
All in all, I am very convinced of the surveillance camera and am already thinking about getting a 2nd.

This surveillance camera is equipped with everything you need for your security.
I particularly like the good resolution here, as well as night vision and fast tracking. So you have everything in view and it is also displayed quickly on the mobile phone via the app. What I don't like so much is the 2-way audio system, which reacts unreliably, meaning sometimes there's no sound. This was noticed in some tests. But since I don't normally use it, it's not that wild.

... and this is especially true in the dark, because this is where the light scores and allows more detail and color vision.

► Brand manufacturers are making it increasingly difficult for other camera manufacturers to establish themselves successfully. In order to be able to counter this, the scope of services and the price must be right. Can you expect a good outdoor-capable WLAN camera for currently around A$200, which instead of Full HD (1,080p) has 2K, a light, two-way audio and a generous pan range (355° Pan and 120° Tilt)? offers ? Yes, you can, because I haven't found any real vulnerabilities so far. So if you can do without 4K, you can buy a good device at an attractive price, which tends to cost more from other manufacturers and also offers flawless workmanship and good optics.

►► Summary: attractive appearance, flawless workmanship, no separate power connection required due to the 9,600mAh battery + solar panel(!), sharp photos/videos, two-way audio and with direct recording options (micro SD card), free cloud -Storage (7 days), thanks to the engine. Control extensively rotatable. Overall, this ensures very good comfort.

► There are many good reasons for a camera surveillance system, which is why I have been using various cameras indoors and outdoors for years. The K&F Concept surveillance camera is specially designed for outdoors, although indoors is of course also possible. My previous cameras are used to monitor pets, but of course I also want to know what happens in my/our absence. For many parents in the home, this is certainly a key reason to buy a surveillance camera. I really don't like to think about burglars...

► Currently I mainly rely on two WLAN camera manufacturers (Blink and Reolink), but I also know other systems, e.g. B. by Arlo. There is a lot to be said for a special camera surveillance system with on-site recording options, namely on separate micro SD cards (up to 128 GB). However, private data in a (usually) foreign cloud is not for everyone, even if it is free (here 7 days). Local storage can therefore score points here, as long as the camera and memory card are not lost by thieves. But you should also ensure the best possible reception (if necessary, use a repeater).

Try out several possible locations for attaching the WLAN camera, provided you can also place the solar panel well. So far I have had good experiences (including reception), although any reception problems and jerky playback are not necessarily to be attributed to the camera. DECT telephones and heavily loaded 2.4 GHz networks can also be considered sources of interference.

► Installation: The instructions are very helpful and should be able to fix any problems. Otherwise, a smartphone/tablet is required via WLAN, since the use of the app (“K&F Cam”) is mandatory. Within this, the connection of the camera succeeds quite quickly and you can then get started immediately. Here you can set a few things and call up recordings.
Many manufacturers now rely on well-known apps such as "Smart Life" (or "Tuya" from the same manufacturer). Instead, the app "K&F Cam" (current iOS version 4.2.1) is specified here, although I have not checked whether the camera also works well with other apps.

You have to register in advance in the app (e-mail, password). After this procedure you also have access to the data in the camera (card) and other settings ("Settings"). You also have access to your camera on the go. You are guided within the well-structured and so far stable app, so that the cameras can then be called up separately.

► The battery has not given up so far, although the solar panel has always been responsible for charging. Now that the dark season is beginning, it remains to be seen whether this will remain the case with regular use. In any case, the camera is not designed for continuous operation and regularly long applications.

► What else is important? You have to do without an optical zoom here. However, that is not to be expected in this price range and is also not standard. But there is also a two-way audio (intercom function). All in all, a nice performance package.

An occasional data backup (PC or similar) can't do any harm anyway, although the question is what third parties want to do with the recordings... (unless thieves break in and cover up tracks...). A (paid) cloud service is therefore not necessary here, whereby at least 7 days are included as already mentioned...

The resolution in the dark is also good using the lamp, although here too, in addition to the color view, many details can still be made out at a distance.

Nevertheless, if there are any problems (too many/too few alarms), you should generally tinker a little and avoid moving backgrounds or background noise as much as possible.

Despite the lack of long-term experience, there are also almost five stars from a price point of view (current price just under A$200!), because I really like the scope of services

The K&F Concept surveillance camera is super quick to set up with the app and needs the appropriate WLAN reception.
In addition, there are numerous tuning options in the app by changing the monitoring period, alarm method (recording only, recording and light and everything together with the alarm system) and the option of hiding certain areas so that the camera does not start.
The quality of the videos, even with night vision, is surprisingly good and you can also see the people, you don't have a pixel mush as you know it from various cameras at Tatort.
In addition, the app also reliably sends notifications when movements are detected.
The audio function also works perfectly, I personally would only have wished that the duration of the light could also be adjusted, as I felt the light duration of 0.5-1min was quite long in order to be able to save battery if necessary.
Nevertheless, the product was able to convince us completely.

I bought this camera to monitor my garage driveway and especially with the flexible rotation it is well suited for this area. The picture quality is very good and the night vision function works as it should. You can recognize the people in both modes.
Personally, I don't actively use the floodlight, but it also works when a person is detected.
And now the best: The camera always has enough power thanks to the solar panel, and in the 5 days I used it, the battery was never below 80% - so it shouldn't be a problem even on dark winter days. The only important thing to know is that the camera needs an active WiFi connection to work, which is why you can't turn off the WiFi overnight.

A few small shortcomings that you have to accept with such a good camera are the lack of an RTSP address, no USB C, and unfortunately the camera cannot follow and track people once they have been detected. Maybe something will be added via an app update.

All in all a recommendable surveillance camera
