I got this solar surveillance camera for the house entrance because I don't have a wired power source there and of course it saved me work :)

What I like very much:
+ Design, camera is kept in a nice white, the solar -Panel has a matte finish.
+ Extremely easy setup, download the app, hold the QR code in front of the camera - done.
+ Selectable night vision function - either invisible infrared LEDs or white LEDs as visible headlights.
+ Push messages (identification of persons) incl. photo / video (storage selectable microSD card or cloud storage)
+ Thanks to built-in motors, the camera can also be swiveled from the cell phone.
+ Good camera image; SD or HD resolution selectable, depending on Internet bandwidth.
+ Good solar panel, fully charges the battery even in the current autumn sun.

What I don't like so much:
- The camera has an intercom function, but for me it had a relatively long delay and also a slight feedback, maybe this can be eliminated with a software update in the future. Since I personally didn't use this function, it still gets 5 stars.

... 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 A$200, 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.

►► Summary: attractive appearance, flawless workmanship, no separate power connection required due to the 9,600mAh battery + solar panel(!), sharp photos/videos, two-way audio and with direct recording options (micro SD card), free cloud -Storage (7 days), thanks to the engine. Control extensively rotatable. Overall, this ensures very good comfort.

► 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 Concept surveillance camera is specially designed for outdoors, although indoors is of course also possible. 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 like to think about burglars...

► Currently I mainly rely on two WLAN camera manufacturers (Blink and Reolink), but I also know other systems, e.g. B. by Arlo. There is a lot to be said for a special camera surveillance system with on-site recording options, namely on separate micro SD cards (up to 128 GB). However, private data in a (usually) foreign cloud is not for everyone, even if it is free (here 7 days). Local storage can therefore score points here, as long as the camera and memory card are not lost by thieves. But you should also ensure the best possible reception (if necessary, use a repeater).

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

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 light 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...
The area to be monitored regularly must be defined as precisely as possible in advance so that the camera can be used despite the 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.

► The battery has not given up so far, although the solar panel has always been responsible for charging. Now that the dark season is beginning, it remains to be seen whether this will remain the case with regular use. In any case, the camera is not designed for continuous operation and regularly long applications.

► 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 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...). A (paid) cloud service is therefore not necessary here, whereby at least 7 days are included as already mentioned...

►►► Conclusion: Overall, the K&F Concept Surveillance camera makes a very decent 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 certain wide angle, but also an additional motor. Steering. The resolution in the dark is also good using the lamp, although here too, in addition to the color view, many details can still be made out at a distance.

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 almost five stars from a price point of view (current price just under A$200!), because I really like the scope of services

The K&F Concept surveillance camera is powered by the built-in battery, which can either be charged by a power pack or by the solar panel included in the set. A mounting foot for the solar panel is included and a 1 m long micro USB cable. To set up the camera, it is necessary to download an app, for which the QR code is printed on page 24 of the enclosed instructions for use. Once the camera has been set up, it can be controlled via the app. To do this, it must be registered in the home network (2.4 GHz). You can choose between SD and HD for the video resolution. Furthermore, so-called intercom calls can be made. This works both ways. It also has a so-called movement mode. It detects movement and automatically displays the image in the app. The camera has a night mode thanks to infrared lighting. In addition, 2 bright LEDs can be activated for even better visibility. The images can be recorded on an SD card with a maximum of 128 GB in the camera or you can use cloud storage. The app can also be used to control the viewing angle of the camera, almost 360 degrees to the left and right and 120 degrees up and down. The output image in the app is clear and clear. Thanks to its independence from a power grid, it can be used for particularly dark corners. The running time of the camera is given as approx. 200 days with 10 activations per day of 15 seconds each. The camera is waterproof IP 66. The images can be recorded on an SD card with a maximum of 128 GB in the camera or you can use cloud storage.

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

Very simple operation and the connection to the device is quickly established.
I particularly like that the sound and picture quality is very clear in terms of color and you can see and enlarge everything.

I say this is the first battery powered camera I've bought. I was skeptical but pleasantly satisfied.
It is made of materials that are comfortable to the touch and feel sturdy in the hand.
Movements that can be controlled via the app are smooth and precise.
The battery lasts a long time, and the remaining power is more than sufficient even on days without sun or rain.
The clip to be attached to the wall facilitates installation, the same applies to the solar panel.
I can absolutely recommend the purchase! !

Short and sweet in advance✅
+ high-quality camera
+ good image quality, night vision
+ energy from solar panel
+ mounting material included in the set

For more details, just read on - have fun with it

The K&F Concept surveillance camera
I was very pleased to be able to test this camera as part of the Vine program. It is a 2K camera that is suitable for outdoor use. The special feature is that the camera is powered by a solar panel that is included in the scope of delivery. The scope of delivery also includes mounting materials for installing the camera. The camera is well made. The connections / buttons are protected against wind and weather with caps. An app must be downloaded to use the camera. You then have to register and can then integrate the camera into the WLAN. The app can then be used to access the camera and adjust the settings. The camera delivers a razor-sharp image - the image quality is top in my opinion. The camera can be panned and tilted via the APP - this expands the visible area. People are recognized by infrared and the camera can then start recording - a plus in terms of security, especially at night. The recordings can be stored in the cloud (costs may apply here) or saved on an SD card. However, this is not included in the scope of delivery. Overall, I think it's a great product at a reasonable price.

Here you get a K&F Concept surveillance camera that leaves nothing to be desired. It is controlled via the "K&F Cam" app. The setup via the home WLAN network is done in a few moments. It is powered by the supplied solar panel. It is connected with a cable that is permanently installed on the panel and has a USB port. A micro SD card is required to record the data, which is not included in the scope of delivery. But easy-to-understand, installation instructions and a drilling template are included in the scope of delivery. .
When motion is detected, recordings are made and a message is sent to the mobile phone. It is very nice that you can control the round camera head in all directions and thus get an all-round view. It also has audio transmission and an intercom system. The image transmission in live mode works perfectly and, depending on the strength of the WLAN connection, with immediate effect. Image and sound transmissions are very good. You can also turn on the lights with the app.
I am absolutely satisfied and can make a clear purchase recommendation here.

The K&F Concept surveillance camera is super quick to set up with the app and needs the appropriate WLAN reception.
In addition, there are numerous tuning options in the app by changing the monitoring period, alarm method (recording only, recording and light and everything together with the alarm system) and the option of hiding certain areas so that the camera does not start.
The quality of the videos, even with night vision, is surprisingly good and you can also see the people, you don't have a pixel mush as you know it from various cameras at Tatort.
In addition, the app also reliably sends notifications when movements are detected.
The audio function also works perfectly, I personally would only have wished that the duration of the light could also be adjusted, as I felt the light duration of 0.5-1min was quite long in order to be able to save battery if necessary.
Nevertheless, the product was able to convince us completely.

Everything is in the box, the screws, the dowels.
It is better to charge the camera well before installation. The solar charger keeps it at a perfectly acceptable level. The application to download is cloud and easy to use. You can choose to save to a micro SD card or opt for cloud with a free trial and then pay.
The application is simple, in French and intuitive.
I am very happy with my purchase replacing two fixed cameras.
