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

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.

Without being an expert on the quality of ND filters, I think they serve their purpose well, are well packaged and well protected (they are kept in a leather case) and come with a collection of rings to attach them to adapt to different lens sizes. Just remember that protection from the sun's vertical rays is imperfect and can have an impact. With a long exposure, when there is a lot of light, it is necessary to put your hand on the filter or put a flat surface on it.

I've bought quite a few K&F Concept Surveillance Cameras so far and i have no complaints when it comes to setting these up. I have a mesh network at home so wifi signal is great at home. Set up is very simple. I wanted something that anyone could use via the app which i haven't had any complaints from any of the household members.

I have several tripods. Without a doubt, none of them come close to the quality of this finely crafted precision instrument. ALL the moving parts on this tripod are SO smooth - even the screw cap fasteners for the leg extensions are easy to loosen and tighten, and the ball head swivels like the best telescope. If you're serious about your photography or videography, this tripod won't let you down. It's a fantastic tripod of the highest quality and comes with everything you need to start shooting right away.

... 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 €100, 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.

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 German-language app (e-mail, password). After this procedure you also have access to the data in the camera (card) and other settings ("Settings").

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 indoors for fundamental reasons. A repeater can work wonders with WLAN reception problems and ensure the best possible reception.

I bought 3 pieces for my surveillance cameras that use batteries.

As for the product itself, the power is not sufficient to charge a camera even when it is perfectly aligned in the sun.

The panel maintains the battery level of the camera but fails to charge it.

Cable length is good so that there is enough slack to place the panel.

the attachment and the panel itself
makes a good impression.

We have purchased 3 of the K&F Concept Surveillance Cameras and there super easy to install, quality is great and the app works really well. Sometimes there is a slight 3-5 second delay if you want to view the video camera live but keep in mind it's wireless and goes to sleep when not in use to save battery, if you need super constant security you can just tweak the settings and forgo battery life or just purchase the wired ones. We currently are in a rental and this solved our problem perfectly, very happy.
