Ideal for places where there is no mains power available.
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.
