Without a contract and without electricity costs.
It's like the wonder security camera I've been waiting for.
At first I wasn't thrilled with the bulk of this camera and how much space it would take up in the front of my house, but after installing it and seeing the results, I'm blown away!
The solar panel isn't that big and the cable that connects to the camera is discreet but needs to be secured. You have to think about where you will get the best light and point the solar panel in that direction but the installation was very easy and first thing for me it comes with template stickers to help with drilling the holes and inserting the anchors, fabulous.
Of course, none of this matters if the camera isn't reliable and the image quality is rubbish. But I'm happy to say it wasn't, for 1080p the picture quality was good and the playback was great, no tearing, no blurring and I could see license plates across the street from my house even while I was walking around moved.
The app is solid and connecting to my network wasn't a problem. The only downside is that it cannot connect to a 5GHz Wi-Fi router. I had to rely on my 2.4 network, for 2022 I find that unacceptable, they should accommodate more modern routers or even both standards. And if I had to be really picky about relying on the sun to trickle the charge, I can't use any of these in my garage... but they're small beans.
Moans aside, everything about this camera is excellent, the light is powerful, the alarm is great, the tracking and AI is spot on, the night vision is superb and the clincher for me is, there's no contract, you get all the features in one purchase and it even provides its own electricity.
For that reason I can only recommend this camera! I won't even take one star just for the 2.4G Wi-Fi.
