I think I've found the ultimate security camera. Bought this camera after a friend of mine recommended this brand. He is a photographer and has used some of their products in the past and seemed very happy with them. After a few hours of research, this camera seemed to be the only one that had all the features I was looking for, so I figured I should give it a try.
Just like the specs, you get everything they claim. The camera has a built-in high-capacity battery, so you will never run out of power. This is also guaranteed by the solar panel that you bring together. Both are waterproof and suitable for outdoor use, which is amazing.

When it comes to storage you have a micro SD slot that supports up to 128GB or if you prefer you can store your footage via the cloud service. Obviously you would have to pay a monthly fee.

However, what I like the most is the pan/tilt/zoom feature, which allows you to control a very large area remotely from the mobile app. The footage is in 1080p, so it's very clear even with night vision. Another great feature is the PIR sensor, which is optimized to reliably detect humans and large pets, and you can change its sensitivity in the app too. Night vision is both black and white and color thanks to the floodlights installed on the front of the camera.

Connectivity is via your WiFi. So if you are planning to buy more than one camera, you need to make sure during installation that they are within your WiFi range and have a strong signal, otherwise they will not work properly. Or you can buy a WiFi extender.

The app that controls the device is very user friendly and easy to install for the less tech savvy. And you can basically control everything from within. You can share the device with other people, check the battery status and change the energy saving settings. Change Motion Detection Sensitivity You can take screenshots or record videos whenever you want. You can even set time periods for the camera to detect motion and record videos. Basically everything you can think of is in this app.

The only downside I could find is that it's a bit pricey. I've used a few RING cameras in the past and they've been really good and a bit cheaper. But none of them had all these functions. So if you're looking for a security camera that has it all and is willing to pay the price for it, this is probably your best bet.

We bought the K&F Concept surveillance camera for the garden. Easy and quick installation. Works perfectly + very good picture quality day and night. The battery charges itself over and over again via the solar panel. The money was worth it.

I love the Cloudedge app from K&F Concept and this surveillance camera continue their tradition of ease of use and reliability.

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.

The K&F Concept Surveillance camera is a fabulous security addition and pairs perfectly with my video doorbell and the Cloudedge app.
It is excellent value for money and extremely easy to set up and use.

Who wouldn't want to take the opportunity to look around at home while on the go.

Installation ★★★★★
Simply unpack and connect the camera before any installation and check its function!

Before you unpack the drill and drill the first holes directly, you should think about the position of the camera in advance.
Thus, the camera should only be temporarily attached to the place. In an emergency, it also works if someone simply holds it in the position.
This test is particularly important when the camera is in night mode, since objects that are too close to the camera reflect the light too strongly and the image is ultimately overexposed.

If the right position is found, you have checked several things at the same time.
Day-night mode and its image quality!

What I really like is the color night vision, which also differs from other cameras.

App ★★★★★
The app is really very user-friendly and can be set up quickly and easily. Here you are guided through the setup and the whole thing directly in German.

Once these points have been completed, the camera can now be attached to the wall.

Application ★★★★★
1.The required app can be loaded via a matrix code on the back of the packaging or in the manual or simply in the store
2.Registration is a must
3.The guide in the app makes the complete setup easier and is completed within minutes
5. After the camera is stored in the app, the images are immediately transferred to the app.
6.Insert SD card up to 128GB. These can be ordered separately. Often there is still a home lying around somewhere.

Here you can then also make further settings and configure everything according to your wishes.

Conclusion ★★★★★
You get a very comprehensive surveillance camera with a very clear app
. The setup is incredibly simple.

With an SD card you have the option of recording the camera images. I also really like the fact that you can pan the camera up to 355 degrees and 120 degrees using the app.

I'm excited! My chicken coop is about 50m from my house and even there I still have wifi! The router is by the window and some large trees are probably still interfering with the signal, but - it works! Ie the camera has good antennas for receiving the signal :) from my side, a purchase recommendation!

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.

I am very happy with the camera. The supplied solar panel in particular ensures that the battery life (at least in summer ;)) is really great.

Great Outdoor Surveillance Camera. We got one to keep an eye on our dog during the day. The subscription plan is reasonable when compared to other companies (like Arlo etc) and only needed if you want to have access to stored videos. Given the camera should cost a lot more the sub is very affordable.
We have multiple ring cameras in our house and being able to pay one sub for access to all is good value.
