This camera is designed to be 100% autonomous wireless. It works with batteries that can be charged via the built-in solar panel or via a USB port.
DE connects to your devices via 3G/4G/LTE with a SIM card (included). The connection is made through the UBox App, which is available in multiple languages ​​including Spanish and is very easy to use.
Because of this, it is an ideal camera for monitoring farms or remote areas where there are no cables or WiFi around.
Some of its main functions are:
- Detection of people (throw away animals) and instant notification to your devices with recording of the detected scene.
- High quality color vision, including color night vision
- Two-way audio that allows you to have real-time conversations.
- 355° pan, 95° tilt and x4 zoom
- Completely waterproof, suitable for outdoor use.
It's a great option and at a price that matches the features it offers.
I think I'll install another one in the yard to keep the whole house under control!

It is very good that the camera can be controlled via the app. Zoom also works.
You can also be alerted via cell phone in case of movement or noise. It is important here that the app receives the appropriate permissions.
Night vision is good, with the integrated LEDs it can also illuminate the surroundings.
With such cameras, which are accessible via the Internet, you have to trust the manufacturer, because you can not make any security settings yourself. You also have to hope that the manufacturer will react quickly when security holes are found, and update the firmware.

I personally feel safer if my house is guarded when I'm not there. I also find it reassuring that I always know what is happening in and around the house. I feel a little safer then. For this purpose, I wanted a camera that also takes satisfactory pictures in the dark, since there is a lot of darkness in winter. I found that this camera is well suited for this application.
The camera looks like the photos. It's not too big so it's too noticeable on my door, but it's still visible so everyone knows they're being recorded. That alone can make a big difference when it comes to security.
The camera is made of metal and shouldn't cause any problems in wind and weather. So far this has been the case for me too and the camera has withstood all weather conditions.
Before attaching the camera, you should first connect and set it up with the app. I can imagine the process being made more difficult when the camera is already mounted outside. To do this, you first have to download the app using the QR code. With the app itself you have to register first, which I personally find a bit exhausting.
Once registered, you can then connect the app to your device, which worked flawlessly and quickly for me. After that I was able to try out the camera. The picture is really great, I definitely don't need more. I can rotate the camera manually and I can talk through the app. The sound, even coming out of the camera, is crisp and clear. That's great too. When you see something you want to capture, you can either take a picture or a screenshot. This happens without much delay, so that you can really capture what you want.
Motion detection is also important to me. The app always notifies me when it detects motion. Here you can also set how sensitively the camera should react to movement, in which period of time you want to record movements and in which zone. I find that really successful here. You can do the same thing with sound detection.
Overall I think the camera is solid. It works well, the picture is great and it has many features.

The solar 4g camera must be located so that the 2.4 GHz WLAN signal is good. I put a heavy duty micro SD card in the camera for storage. The camera records to this SD card, or if you pay for a subscription, the video is stored in the cloud (in addition to or instead of local storage I suppose). When the camera is activated, it records all the time. The app has many settings to customize how it works, such as setting notifications, notification triggers (sound or motion), and motion detection in a preset region. Recorded footage can be viewed using the app and copied to the cell phone running the app. One can zoom into the video via the app. The quality of the video and sound during the day and night is amazing. Video is time and date stamped. Motion tracking is very good. Motion detection sensitivity can be adjusted. Camera view can also be controlled from the app, even with preset views. The live feed of the camera can be viewed - good smooth video too.
Initial pairing of the camera with the app can be a bit frustrating, but follow the instructions correctly and then everything is fine.
I would recommend this camera to anyone.

The scope of delivery includes the power supply, drilling template, screws, dowels, instructions and of course the camera.
Equipment:
Here, too, it is not necessary to take out a subscription to a cloud provider. The alarms are stored on the SD card and can be viewed later in the app.
The app is always required for configuration. It is necessary to register first. The ease of setup in the app is a plus. Movements and sounds can be detected. You can also set up motion tracking, which works, but the camera only rotates horizontally. Depending on where the camera is mounted, two axes would actually be required for proper motion tracking.
The camera also has a speaker that you can talk to through the app. This also works very well. However, one cannot limit the field of view in advance, but always has a full field of view. Be careful when taking photos outside, as public areas are not allowed to be photographed in Germany.
The night vision is good, thanks to the built-in LEDs, the camera can also illuminate the surroundings itself.
Danger:
For cameras that are accessible via the Internet, you have to trust the manufacturer because you cannot set the security settings yourself. You also have to hope that the manufacturer will react quickly when security holes are discovered and provide a firmware update. Furthermore, if you are aware of the risk involved in storing and transferring the data to a Chinese manufacturer, you can't go wrong with this camera. It is easy to use and has all the necessary features.

The security camera is well made and setup was easy and intuitive.
Setting up the surveillance camera was really easy, plug and play - the surveillance camera was set up within just 10 minutes - all you have to do is download the APP and link it to the surveillance camera.
The surveillance camera can be swiveled and this can be controlled excellently via the APP, even if you are not at home, you have permanent access to the surveillance camera - the surveillance camera also has a 2-way audio system installed, so you can not only hear what is on the other Happens on the side of the camera, but you can also actively engage in dialogue with the person in front of the surveillance camera.
I am satisfied with the surveillance camera and can recommend it. The processing and quality is good.

I bought the camera to monitor our gazebo. It should run with a SIM card, as there is no WLAN in the garden and be independent of electricity via a solar panel. I made the right choice with this camera, I am very satisfied so far. So far, the battery level has always shown 100%, even though the days are getting shorter and the sun doesn't hit the camera until the afternoon. I find the image quality to be very good (2nd photo), I don't need more. I can see what my garden looks like from anywhere at any time, I'm happy about that. I can also take photos or videos very quickly. And the microphone works perfectly too. Sometimes I have to press the screen 2-3 times to connect to the camera, but that may be due to my data plan. Don't bother me anymore. The camera reacts very quickly to movement, and I immediately get a message on my cell phone. Overall I am very satisfied, I would like to see a few more settings in the app. For example, a setting so that the camera films or photographs the "intruder" for a few minutes (of your choice) when there is movement. Unfortunately, there are too few setting options. But overall I am super satisfied and the customer service is very easy to contact and you get very friendly replies and help straight away. So far I'm very satisfied, recommendable camera and I hope it stays that way for a long time. that the camera films or photographs the "intruder" for a few minutes (at your choice) when there is movement.

Inexpensive surveillance camera with very good properties. It has a good clear picture with the resolution of 2K. The camera follows you automatically and has an almost complete all-round field of view.
Standard features include things like push-up notification of movement, 2-way audio, night vision with infrared and LED spotlight (e.g. as a deterrent). There is also an SD card lot up to 128 GB. As with many, you can also use an online service or online cloud - but this costs money. I don't know how much as we never use it.
The setup via app is relatively good, not difficult but not too easy either. Some require extra permissions. Otherwise you can see live images via the app and also pan/rotate the camera etc.
In the event of an alarm or movement, for example overnight, a video is recorded and stored on the SD card. You can set whether you want to have infrared or LED spotlight. We are currently testing the LED spotlight method. We live on the edge of the forest and in the last 5-6 years some people have been looking for (valuable) things here in the area and also in our garden.
That's why we swear by cameras and deterrence. We currently have 6 installed across the property. One side of the house, one in the garage and one that monitors the garden. Luckily nothing has happened to this day, but you can still hear that something is going on on the neighboring side. It can also be wild boar. Hard to know without a camera.
Conclusion: Recommendation is outside. Easy adjustment - we already had cameras, so setting them up was a pain. Inexpensive with great features. Easy attachment.

I was pleasantly surprised by this security camera. Since it runs solely on solar power, it works remarkably well.
When I took the camera out of the box I noticed that it was a good weight and felt of pretty good quality. Setup was straightforward - the instruction manual includes a QR code that you can scan to download the app. Just register an account and then the app will search for the camera. Then it's time to move the camera to the desired position.
The camera comes with the screws and plates needed to drill it, but I'm lazy so I used gorilla tape. If you haven't used the stuff yet, it's time to get to know it. It's double-sided tape that sticks permanently both inside and out. I've used it to hang solar lights, camera doorbells and now this camera with no problem and with total security. Wait... I should check the camera...
Anyhow, the picture quality is really great for a solar powered device. I'm sure you could get better picture quality with other cameras, but then you'd be paying a lot more and it would probably have to be wired. It depends on what you're really looking for, but this camera is ideal for our needs. We have a summer house in the garden, so we use it to keep an eye out for potential intruders.
There is a monthly subscription that you need if you want to capture footage automatically. You will also need an SD card for storage. However, without the above, you can view the feed and manually press record when you see something going on. The camera sends a notification to your phone when it detects motion, which is a handy feature. However, it is very delicate and has often picked up the tree blowing in the wind. However, you can adjust the sensitivity of the motion detection feature if you want.
Overall super happy with this device and would happily recommend it

I already have several surveillance cameras that are disconnected from the power grid via a hole drilled through the wall, but I wanted a camera on the back of our house, and the only mounting location suitable for the right shooting area is no power source available, so I needed a completely wireless camera, as this came complete with a solar panel that reduces the number of recharges needed, which I ordered.
When opened, this security camera set comes with everything needed to install it on a wall, post or fence. The main camera is a separate unit from the solar panel. When 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 is waterproof so it can be used year round. I can't 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 battery level depending on location and 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 whether it faces south.
Once the camera is turned on, it can be paired and set up in the free app that can be downloaded to a smart device. I had no problems pairing at all, although I did so before I took the camera outside to mount it, so it was close to my router and phone. This is the way I would recommend it.
Since 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 to extend the time between charges. The main feature that isn't available with a battery camera is the ability to take constant recordings, which is understandable since that would use up power pretty quickly. The recordings for this are all made from the motion sensor, which when triggered, starts recording for a set amount of time. The motion and recording times, as well as various other options, can be accessed through the app.
I always prefer to record locally rather than in the cloud, so I installed a 128GB SD card and formatted it ready for use. If needed, 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 that the quality drops so I wouldn't normally use it.
Overall, this is a very nice, reasonably priced surveillance camera kit with the added benefit of having a solar panel included, which reduces the number of recharges. This needs to be taken into account when comparing prices. The HD image is at 1080p and streams over 2.4 GHz WLAN without too many hiccups, this depends on the router setup of coarse. Along with a pretty decent daytime picture, this also has an automatic night mode with infrared, again clear enough to see features for identification 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 mains power or just need the convenience of a wireless option, you can't go wrong with this set. However, I will say that a mains option is always the best way to go if at all possible.
