Security Cameras Wireless Outdoor, 2K Battery Powered WiFi Cameras for Home Security with AI Motion Detection, Color Night Vision, Spotlight, Siren, Waterproof, SD/Cloud Storage

It is a very good product
I like how easy it was to set up and the picture quality is excellent. I use it as a security camera and it works perfectly for that. I also like the 2 way communication feature. I don’t use the cloud feature but do record to a SD card and it has excellent recording and I love the color night vision. You can also set up different security zones for alerts. Overall a very good product for the price.

Good value for this decent security camera
Follow the instructions given. Download the apps, easy to setup. I installed this camera about 2 months ago. So far, there’s no issue. Quality of the video is very good, 2K video. Connection to my home network is very stable. Motion detection is functioning pretty well. Notification alerts to the apps in live time. Battery life is good. I only need to charge it once in 2 months with the light on at night. So far, I am very happy with my purchase.

Verdict Still Out, One Month In
Purchased 3 cameras for outdoor recording and have had them in operation for about a month now. First the good…..as others have said, cameras were easy to set up and app is easy to use. The price is right and the video quality is pretty good in color and 2K. I wasn’t as happy with the SD black & white setting. They are easily mounted and small enough to not be that noticeable. They are also easy to remove to take down and charge (except for having to get the ladder out every few days to remove a camera for charging).I am still not sure how I feel about these cameras overall. I want to love them because the price is right (and the cloud subscription isn’t that costly, either). However, the old adage “you get what you pay for” creeps into my mind as well.Recording in SD isn’t quality enough video for me. I feel it doesn’t capture people so that they are recognizable, especially after dark. So, I have mine all set to record in 2K. Whether this is what drains my batteries faster than they should, I suppose it is a factor. I get considerably less than a week on a charge. For instance, one of the cameras was charged yesterday, and today it is already down to 54%. The cameras catch all of the neighborhood road traffic, so I assume that is another reason for the short battery life. Not really a way to aim them so that doesn’t happen, as I want to have video of my whole front yard. If I aim one at my driveway, it’s getting the road traffic, too. No choice.Two instances I have not been particularly happy about….ok 1, and the other is kind of a what the heck moment…I had a political sign stolen from my yard over night, which is one of the reasons I decided to pull the trigger at this point in time on the purchase of video cameras in the first place, even though we had discussed getting some for many months. Anyway, when I reviewed the video from the camera that would have captured the theft, I found that one video had the sign in place and the next video in the sequence had the sign missing. There was no in between of the actual theft. This miss of the important event made me change motion detection to high on the cameras, however I have since changed it back to medium so I preserve battery.The what the heck moment happened a couple of days ago, when the camera that is focused on my driveway captured the Amazon delivery person pull into the drive and get out of his car. The camera that would have captured him on my front porch caught nothing, even though the front porch is part of that camera’s focus.I will also note that the power button on the bottom of these cameras is tiny and is press and hold style to turn on or off. It is very difficult to press and hold the button for long enough for the camera to actually turn on or off (makes an audible tone when it happens). The buttons are under a flap that also covers the charging port, rightfully so, but I struggle trying to keep the flap open and also push and hold the small button long enough to turn on or off because it takes several seconds for the process.These cameras also take hours to charge. I believe this is noted in the instructions, but it literally takes a good chunk of a day to get a camera that is low (15% or so) back to a full charge…I would say 6 hours at least. This is inconvenient if you discover later in the day that the camera requires charging, because you either let it run out mid-overnight or lose overnight coverage to charge.The cameras supposedly allow for known vehicles, which I have marked….numerous times. Each time our vehicles are captured, I am presented with a “Do you know this vehicle?” question. I cannot tell you how many times I have answered that question for our two vehicles. It doesn’t seem to remember the previous answer to the same question about the same vehicles.I haven’t had a lot of luck with tech support. A chat feature is offered, but no one is ever online. The offer in the chat feature to type in your question for review when someone is available is fruitless, because I have not gotten an answer using that method. I did receive an email response on one of my questions, but it simply offered the common sense things that had already been tried. I haven’t attempted to call, I prefer email or chat, and the things I’ve had questions about aren’t important enough for me to hang on hold (that is a generalization, as I said, I haven’t tried).All of this being said, I know what I paid for these cameras, and maybe I shouldn’t expect as much as I do. But, it may have been wasted money in the long run, if I don’t become satisfied enough soon and instead decide to look again at something maybe a little more high end. I’m giving a 4 star to not be too mean, because at a level, these cameras are functioning. Just maybe not at the level I had hoped.UPDATE 10/24/2024 (~1.5 months after install). In an effort to not use so much battery, I began using sleep mode on my cameras by setting up a schedule. I noticed that 2 of my cameras were not auto entering sleep mode, so I emailed tech support on 10/15/24. One week later and I am still going back and forth with tech support via one email a day from them, trying to determine the problem. Won’t bore you with the details, just wanted to state another issue I have come across with these cameras and also my dealing with tech support.UPDATE 10/24/2024 (~1.5 months after install).
