Cameras for Home Security-2K Wireless Security Camera Outdoor with AI Motion Detection & Siren, Non-Stop Solar Powered Charging, Color Night Vision, SD/Cloud Storage, Waterproof, S1 4P

I bought one of these solar powered cameras to try it out because I was tied of the hassle of cords everywhere outside and running cords into the house, and I have been pleasantly surprised by it. Installed it on the post in my driveway that receives son throughout the day. I live in the Southern United States so it gets in the triple digits here and the camera has held up to the heat and the violent thunderstorms we experience seasonally. The solar panel on the top and the battery in the camera are working well in tandem as the camera works 24-7 and hasn't died on me yet. The picture is very clear and in color. It connected easily to my Wi-Fi and was very easy to install. (I will say that you need to know how to turn on your 2.4 signal if you have fiberoptic before you are ready to install the camera. You can contact your ISP and they will tell you how to do it if you don't know.) The microphone and the speakers work very well. It has an app you can download on your phone. Through this app you can do a variety of things such as setting up the camera, speaking to someone through the camera and then in turn hear what they're saying in reply. You can also record footage and retrieve it from the cloud or download it to your phone.On the camera itself there's a slot for an SD card which I haven't used yet, but I'm assuming it would record to the SD card. I'm unsure of how often it would be overwritten, but I'm assuming it would be dependent upon the size capacity of the SD card itself. Maybe the manufacturer can answer that question for me.The only possible drawback is it probably needs to be in a sunny location or very near an outside outlet as it comes with a very short power cable with no box, so if you have areas around the outside of your space that are very shady you may need to get creative with where you hang it up if there's no sun due to a large tree or no wall plug nearby. I'm actually going to order another six of these and play around with the amount of and type of sun they receive depending on where I install them to see if I can put it under my tree to test i's functionality in a shady location or other areas where it may receive only morning or only afternoon sun. This is mostly going to be performed out of curiosity and an abundance of time.For the money, this camera is excellent and I would highly recommend it.

I purchased the four pack S1 camerasThere are instructions on how to set up the camera on your network included.I selected the camera type in the Wansview app for the battery S1.To set up the camera, I used the scan method to connect the camera to my network. It was easy. Just hold your smartphone up to the app and scan the QR code, then listen to the audio prompts from the camera as it tells you what's going on, then continue to follow instructions in the app.I put my own 128 gig memory SD card into the camera(s).The phone app can review live video or stored video using your phone app as well ason the SD card. I recommend getting a SD card.Also, if you want to view the cameras live on your computer you can use the pc app, Amazon show, or Fire TV.You can easily integrate with Alexa to do this.I use my Alexa fire TV to view the cameras on my big TV at any time.I mounted my cameras using the hardware provided and even a template to mount the base of the camera. I made sure they are getting sunlight as they are solar-powered. I do not need to use the charging cords once they are mounted. My cameras charge up using the sun each day to 100%, as you can check battery status in the smartphone app.There are several really nice features. You can have the spotlight turn on when motion is detected at night. You have the ability to hear what's going on as well as talk to whatever is near the camera. I like that you can go back and review what was recorded by date and time. You need to use the cloud service for the ability to save and recall the capture online. Or for free, put a sd card into each camera 128Gb max. You get notifications as well as 15 seconds of motion captured for free no matter what if you want even without the SD card.You can have the motion detection look for people as this will pick up a person and count that as motion however you can just report all motion detection and it will record this if you have a sd cord or the cloud service. You can adjust sensitivity of detection. I have several of the cameras and they all have very clear crisp pictures. The 2k video is very clear even at night. I love that you can adjust the camera to adapt at night to a color picture using the existing lights that are around your property, or the spot light built in, instead of seeing the picture in just in black and white. I bought the 4 pack and love them. I recommend these cameras as they use a battery and or USB C cable that comes with the cameras. They are solar so all you do is charge it once and solar does the rest with no cords at all. So far on cloudy days I have not seen any concern as the battery shows full all the time. The sensitivity can be adjusted as well as distance of detection. The Wi-Fi is 2.5 GHz only. The wansview app is very solid and has many features that also allow you to talk to the person if you want, as well as notify you of an alert. You can zoom in the picture to see closer and set the picture to full screen on your phone app. The echo show also lets you zoom in. The ability to set up each camera in about 5 minutes, a perfect picture, ability to see the cameras using the app on my pc to look at all the cameras at once is perfect. I recommend these cameras to anyone who wants security and just the ability to look at an area quickly when they get a notification.
