This little camera is a great value for the buck. I now own several that are being utilized as trail cameras and security on a small farm. I can depend on these cameras to perform well in all climates. Had several of them for a few years and they have out lasted my Mountie and several other “big” name cameras.

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.

not with this security camera - you can choose between the cloud or install your own micro sd card for video files that are saved as 5-minute clips in mp4, timestamped and dated so you can easily transfer to your mac/pc and browse footage in real time instead of streaming it (this can be cumbersome on a poor internet connection). I have 6 security cameras from this brand that use the same app, so I can easily swipe between all the cameras in different locations. More information about the camera can be provided upon request if needed.

It's sturdy and gives me a feeling of security. It has many pockets and is therefore very practical.

All in all a very good camera for the price!

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.
