I really like this affordable quality night vision. It uses IR (not heat sensing) technology that works well with the camera and video functions. With head mount!

We have just set up this K&F Concept surveillance camera at my parent’s driveway a few days ago and so far I am very impressed with this little camera! It came in a tiny box packaged with the solar panel, all the needed cables and mounting hardware and an extensive user guide. Setting up the camera was extremely simple and we could mount it beautifully in less than an hour.

Once the camera was mounted, we downloaded the CloudEdge app from the app store. The app showed how to set up the camera and connect to WiFi with simple step-by-step instructions. Within 10 minutes we were moving the camera around with the joystick and changing motion detection settings.

We were very impressed by the image quality, the camera is as good as a smart phone and the wide angle lens covers a huge area so we are overall very happy with it. Even at night, although black and white, the image quality seems to stay just as sharp with the infrared camera.

I put a 16GB MicroSD card in the camera so it can save the recordings, it has been running for a few days now and only used about 400MB storage, I think it uses a very efficient video encoding format. There’s also an option to save the videos in the cloud, I activated the 7 day trial, we’ll see if I end up subscribing, but it would definitely make me feel a lot safer to have a backup of all the recordings in the cloud instead of just on the camera itself!

Overall I think this is an excellent package, the image quality is very impressive, the application has all the features you will ever need and the motion detection works flawlessly. The two way audio is also a handy plus that we will use a lot!

The K&F Concept surveillance camera system is ideal for a wide range of applications. It has an app control that works over the Internet. For campers or off-roaders without an internet connection, there is no possibility of using it directly via Bluetooth, for example. This would be particularly interesting for campers. Otherwise, the camera can be controlled remotely and communication can also be carried out remotely. So it is no problem to call up the current views from vacation or a business trip via a bookable cloud system, but also to receive movement reports. The motion alerts also work well. If the camera z. B. used inside the house, office, warehouse, etc., so every movement is registered,recorded (with cloud operation) and sent to the smartphone or tablet as movement information. With SD card operation, you can then decide for yourself when to call up the recording. A loud signal can be added. The same procedure can be used for outdoor use, but it makes no sense to switch on the siren, as this can be triggered by a cat walking by. The built-in speaker and microphone in the camera are also very beneficial. In the entrance area, not only monitoring can take place via motion detection, but also communication, and that from vacation or business trip via smartphone. The camera can also be used to monitor the children's room. With SD card operation, you can then decide for yourself when to call up the recording.A loud signal can be added.

Due to the high resolution, it can also be used to monitor and read values ​​​​and statuses from meters and machines.

The night vision function expands the field of application considerably, but you have to know that the illumination does not go very far. You may still be able to see an entrance or door area, but a larger area, such as an entire house front, is not possible without the use of additional infrared LEDs. For this you need an additional infrared spotlight, ie invisible light, then you can see larger areas perfectly.The camera delivers a good and sharp picture. It also copes well with backlight.

Motion detection works very well. You can also readjust the sensitivity.

Connecting the camera to the internet is relatively easy. The camera and the smartphone must be registered with a router, switch, access point or repeater via WLAN. Nothing works without registration. As soon as this is synchronized and the registration via app has taken place, the camera can be accessed. In the documentation everything is described very well in words and pictures.

A good internet connection is required.

The camera's special battery is replaceable. The service life of the camera is therefore not dependent on the battery life.Certainly it would be easier if it were standard AA Eneloop batteries, which could be quickly replaced in case of need or damage. The battery is charged via a microUSB socket and a normal charger. A microUSB charging cable for continuous power supply is included. The camera can remain permanently connected to the charging cable if a supply of solar power is not possible due to local conditions.

The connection to the supplied solar panel is absolutely professional and useful. The solar panel is also connected via microUSB. The solar panel can be optimally aligned to the sun regardless of the camera location. It is equipped with a long cable.

When used outdoors, the camera should either be protected from the rain or get an additional rain and snow cover.

The installation of the camera and the solar panel is easily possible with the help of the supplied screws and dowels.

Conclusion: This is a very good wireless and panning camera system with optional solar power supply, as it should be. The motion notifications and images can be received via the app anywhere in the world where the Internet is available with the addition of cloud services. Installation and operation are kept simple, all you have to do is follow the instructions in the good documentation. The processing and the quality are very good.The field of application is very extensive and varied due to the swiveling and the good recordings with the addition of the solar panel.

Most new generation surveillance cameras are often round or very rounded in shape and white in color.
This is different here with the square cube with the chamfered edges and I really like the shape.
In addition, the color, which goes very well with our windows, doors, etc., is not as conspicuous as a white camera.

To start up, you have to install the manufacturer's app and create an account as usual and integrate the camera into the WLAN network.

The camera only supports 2.4GHz networks and if you connect the device (tablet or smartphone) on which you have installed the app to the 2.4GHz WiFi and follow the instructions in the app and the German manual, the setup is easy and done quickly.

The camera is attached to a wall etc. directly with the housing using screws which are then covered by silicone plugs.
It doesn't make sense for me to mount the camera rotated by 180°, but if this is necessary, you can activate "rotate the screen" in the app so that the image is not displayed upside down.

I really like that the live image in the app is displayed quickly and without much delay. With my much more expensive cameras (Arl..Ultra) I have a much longer delay and the picture is not much better with them either.

The app offers the usual options for setting up the camera and a clear display of the recordings on the micro SD card.

There is a power consumption statistic so in conjunction with the alarm and video settings you can find out the maximum battery life.

As usual, areas can also be marked in which no movement should be detected.

The recordings and the live image can be made with the resolutions SD or FHD. This is set with two clicks in the app.
The current WLAN strength and data transmission rate are also displayed there.
With SD it was about 20KB/s for me and with Full HD (FHD) up to 220KB/s.

The image was displayed very sharply and with high contrast with a slightly visible delay (1-2s).
The depth of field is impressive. Both an object positioned very close (approx. 30cm) to the lens and objects that were far away were sharply represented.
The digital 4x zoom works, but shouldn't be overestimated because of course details are lost as a result. If you want sharp pictures here, you have to opt for a camera with an optical zoom.

Using the app, the camera can be panned over a very wide area with a very short delay time. That's 355° horizontally and 120° vertically.
This gives you an all-round view and you can look at the sky or the ground.

What also worked very well was the motion detection with the PIR sensor, which is intended to only detect movements of people and not to record every movement of bushes etc.

In the alarm management, the detection sensitivity can be set in 10 levels.
In the "Alarm plan" periods are defined in which recordings are to be made
The live image from the camera is shown with the "Alarm area" item and overlaid with 144 squares (16 horizontally and 9 vertically). By activating the individual squares (which are clearly colored orange), you can define the areas in which the motion detection should be active.

One of three options can be activated under "Warning with sound and light".

"When motion or people are detected, the camera sends a warning with"
• Alarm with sound (siren)
• Alarm with light
• Alarm with light and sound

A sub-item in alarm management is the "alarm work mode".
Three options can be activated here.

1▪︎In energy-saving mode, the recording time is limited to a maximum of 10s and the detection of people is activated.
2▪︎In performance mode, the recording time is extended by detecting motion again.
3 ▪︎If the "Custom Mode" is activated, you have three options.
• Activate that only persons are recognized at night and/or during the day.
• The recording is made with 10 • 20 or 30 seconds
• Switch off the alarm interval or set it to 2 • 5 or 10 minutes.

The battery life is of course dependent on how many events are recorded. The longest battery life is probably achieved in energy-saving mode.
You can check this in the power consumption statistics and adjust the settings in performance mode accordingly.

The recordings were stored on a micro SD card with a capacity of 128GB. My card was recognized but had to be formatted in the camera. Therefore, you should back up the data on the card beforehand.

On the positive side, storage in the cloud has to be activated separately. According to the description, the free test phase is 7 days, which I did not use, although it makes sense.
If the camera is stolen, the SD card is gone and you have no evidence or pictures of the thief.
The videos are definitely stored more securely in the cloud.

I was surprised by the WLAN range, which allows a greater distance from the router compared to other cameras.
Here again comes the comparison with the Arl.. cameras, which - for me - have a much shorter range.
The stronger signal - for me - can probably be explained by the "improved 4 dBi dual WLAN antennas". However, other reasons cannot be ruled out.

The WLAN range as well as the picture quality is very good, the depth of field is great and if it's a bit dark and you want to see colored pictures, you can switch on the built-in and bright "headlight LED" with the app.
This can optionally also be activated when motion is detected and thus draw the attention of uninvited "guests" to the camera.

A not very loud but sufficiently loud siren can be activated for 30s when motion is detected and drives away - hopefully - uninvited visitors if necessary.
The built-in speaker is better for communicating with visitors than I've heard on other cameras.

Due to the relatively short test phase, I cannot yet judge the battery life in the current weather (with little sunshine) and thus the charging by the solar panel. In addition, the battery life is also dependent on many factors, so that the times determined by me cannot be regarded as a reference.

I rate the price-performance ratio as very reasonable.

In any case, the overall impression is so good that I can recommend the camera and rate it with a very good five stars.
It's one of the best cameras I've tried so far.

This product seems to be fairly well built. But, the directions are lacking, especially regarding the programming of the light sensing option.
I do like that I didn’t have to plug the solar panel into a regular plug to charge before use.

The motion sensing night vision camera came in a very sturdy box and was packaged very well. I just put it on my back porch to see how it worked. This is a picture I took with my cell phone of the photos I downloaded the the computer. The photo quality is excellent and me taking a photo of a screen sort of distorts it will try to upload them later directly from the computer. Transferring the photos from the device was easy. Just plugged in the USB cable that came with it and they transferred in seconds. The night vision worked exceptionally well too. I will get those uploaded later. Overall very satisfied with the product. It’s a gift for my mother she has 43 acres and tons of animals and I think she will love to be able to see the photos of the deer and wildlife close up. She feeds them daily.

I’ve been testing this camera for a few days now and all I can say is I’m extremely impressed! The solar charger keeps the battery 100% charged all the time, the motion sensor sends alerts straight to my phone, it has crystal clear HD video day and night. The flood lights come on when the camera detects motion. It works great with the CloudEdge app. I can use an SD card with it so I don’t have to pay a monthly charge for cloud storage (I could if I wanted to though). It even has a built in microphone so I can talk to whoever’s near the camera and they can talk back. All in all I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. I’ll be buying a few more now that I know the solar charger actually works and my uncle said he’s getting some too! lol

Easy to set up, pretty clear picture. The best character of this camera is motion sensor, it can always help me check my home whether there are wired guys outside my home. Protect my property and stuff. Overall, I am happy I bought this camera, pretty good decision .
