2K Solar Security Cameras Wireless Outdoor, 2PCS Outdoor Camera Wireless with 360° View, Cameras for Home Security with Color Night Vision/2-Way Audio, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Only

Batteries last forever, even without solar power
I’ve been using these cameras for over a month, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the reliability of the hardware/software.I added a (not included) microSD card to each camera to save recordings, although there is also the option to save recordings to the cloud for a monthly fee. I have had no problems using the iOS app to watch recordings from the microSD card as well as the live view of the cameras. The app is straightforward and reliable, I haven’t had any problems with the app yet. Camera setup took a couple minutes, using the setup wizard in the app, which had clear and simple instructions. The pan/tilt/zoom controls in the app work fine, and the picture quality is impressive even under when using the zoom.One camera is outside, powered by the included USB solar panel, and it has handled the weather (including recent hurricane) without issue. I was concerned that there could be water intrusion at the USBC port that the solar panel connects to, but the rubber gasket has prevented that. The night vision has worked well on this exterior camera at nights, with the motion detector occasionally catching the neighbors cat climbing on the hood of my car in the dark.The other is in my garage with no power source yet. I was originally planning on running a USBC cable to the camera to power it, but the built-in rechargable battery has not run out of juice yet, over a month later. I plan on simply recharging the battery with a USB battery pack every month or two, instead of permanently running a power source to it. It helps that the garage camera does not see as much activity on a daily basis, which results in less recording activity than the exterior camera. I plan on ordering another pair of cameras to complete the coverage of the exterior of my home.

Excellent Video Quality and No More Changing Batteries
I used to have a security camera that required a battery to work unless I had electricity nearby. I waited to review this camera to make sure everything works and it does, like a charm. I’ve had it installed for about a week now and below are the features that I love:Solar Battery CapacityThe camera impresses with its dual power options—solar and rechargeable battery—allowing for continuous power without the hassle of frequent charging or wiring. The solar panel ensures that the camera remains operational, a substantial advantage for those who want a truly wireless outdoor security solution. This setup is perfect for remote locations or areas with limited access to power outlets, and the solar charging capability makes it an eco-friendly option. The IP65 waterproof rating adds durability, ensuring the camera continues to function well in various weather conditions, from rain to snow. However, it’s worth noting that optimal solar performance will depend on the placement and exposure to sunlight.So far it has kept its charge to 100%.Wi-Fi Antenna StabilityThe camera is designed with a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection, which is standard for many smart home devices and provides standard coverage for most home setups. The dedicated antenna appears to stabilize the connection, reducing drop-offs and ensuring smooth live streaming and notifications.I have this installed outside on a tree, about 70 feet away from the router and the signal is keeping up.Remote Focus and ZoomThe camera’s remote focus and zoom capabilities provide flexibility in monitoring your property from anywhere using the app. This functionality is highly beneficial, allowing users to adjust the view and zoom in on areas of interest remotely without physically adjusting the camera. However, the camera’s zoom is digital rather than optical, meaning the image quality may degrade when zooming in too far. Nevertheless, for general home surveillance, this feature offers convenience and adaptability.Additional FeaturesInstallation and Setup: The camera’s quick and easy installation is another strong point, making it accessible for users with limited technical expertise. The compact size and straightforward setup process ensure that you can have the camera up and running in about five minutes (it took a little time installing it on a tree for us but works like a charm nonetheless), which is a big plus for a DIY security solution.Versatile Alarm Options: The inclusion of an alarm option provides a robust deterrent against potential intruders. Additionally, the two-way audio feature is great for communicating with visitors or warding off intruders in real time. The volume for the alarm and speaker is adjustable.Flexible Storage Options: The support for both memory card and cloud storage offers users flexibility in storing footage. The 30-day cloud storage trial is a nice bonus, allowing users to explore the best option for their needs. The cloud storage subscription is about $38 / year.ConclusionOverall, this outdoor security camera is a well-rounded option for those looking for a reliable, easy-to-install, and cost-effective home surveillance solution. The combination of solar-powered operation, stable Wi-Fi connectivity, wide lens view, remote focus, and zoom capabilities makes it a compelling choice for enhancing home security. Some areas for potential improvement include the addition of 5GHz Wi-Fi support and possibly an optical zoom option for even better image clarity.For most users, especially those in need of a flexible and low-maintenance outdoor camera, this product offers an excellent balance of features and performance.

Easy to Install – Excellent Video Quality
Put one at our front door and one for the chicken coop. Excellent video quality. Good sound. Excellent app with ability to pan and zoom remotely. Good alert system. Solar panels working great. Very pleased so far.

Easy to setup and works great.
These cameras work very well. Very easy to set up and pair with the app on my phone. The pictures, videos are very good quality. The solar panels do a great job at keeping the batteries charged. The only issue I have is I have not been able to figure out how to view videos stored on the MicroSD cards. It only shows cloud videos, and I am not using the cloud storage option. Otherwise, I’d be giving them five stars.11-14-24 Update: Customer service promptly responded with directions for viewing the SD card videos. So, I have now updated my rating to a full five stars.
