Solar Security Cameras Wireless Outdoor, 3MP Pan Tilt 360°WiFi Camera with Color Night Vision/PIR Sensor/2-Way Audio/Alexa/Google Assistant

Great Camera!
I use it in a small coop and love it! The resolution is awesome and crystal clear with or without light mode. It’s easy to install and set up. I like that there are no app services to buy; just a simple app to install. I have checked in on chickens no matter where I am, even when out of town!

Good camera but one major flaw.
**UPDATE** After a week of using these I have dropped my rating to 1 star. I was told that I could access and download the SD card images from the camera. There is no way to do this that I can find in the app. This basically makes these cameras useless. At the very least you should be able to download your clips.Bought 2 of these to replace some Arlo cameras that I was quite disappointed with. The install is easy, but you do have to use their screws otherwise the camera will not attach to the wall mount properly. I learned this from experience as I first mounted the bracket with some standard wood screws. I tend to use outdoor wood screws with star drive heads for camera installations. If the heads of the screws don’t recess into the holes of the mount, they block the ability of the camera to mount completely. A minor issue but worth noting. The included screws should work for most situations albeit they are quite light duty. The cameras themselves are of decent quality. The image is clear and nice. The IR for night vision works well. One of our cameras is mounted on a shed that is about 75ft from our house and 100ft from our wireless router. That maintains an 85% signal which equates to some drop-outs and disconnects when viewing the camera live. Mind you, this is mostly a problem with where our wireless router is stationed. Not the camera’s fault. The other camera is mounted to the front of our house and works at 100%. Not sure really how the solar works as I caught it saying it was charging the camera at 2am the other night. And the battery did go from 86% to 91% by morning. Apparently, it’s ghost charging or something. Not quite sure. For the first 4 days we had bright but overcast conditions and the solar would not charge. I read something in the manual that said you should keep the battery at 50-80% for max longevity so maybe it just doesn’t charge until it meets a specific requirement. Today it is sunny here and it is indeed charging. Overall, I am happy with the 2 cameras I purchased but there is 1 major flaw. You cannot view these cameras on a desktop. On Cloudedge, the app that supports these cameras they say you can install the android app on Windows 11, but I am here to tell you, unless I hack the .APK or run Bluestacks (Not in a million years) then you cannot install the app on Windows or a Mac. One part of the site suggests using the Amazon Store App on PC, but I tried that route and the CloudEdge app is not available on the Amazon App Store here at least in the US. To be considered a decent security camera I really believe they need desktop support. I can view my Arlo cams (when they work) and my Nest Cams on the web at any time. So, if that is a feature you desire, I highly suggest you steer clear of these cameras. If all you care about is viewing on a tablet or phone, then you are good to go. I knocked off 2 stars off my rating for the screw issue and the no desktop support issue. I would easily forgive the screw thing if this cam had desktop support.

Stuff The Fine Print Doesn’t Tell You
I ordered 2 of these to replace an alleged smart camera that broke within 2 weeks. So far, so good.I charged both cameras before pairing with the app and then mounting. Pairing was simple. The app gives you step by step instructions with audio instructions. The second was trickier. There is a + sign in the upper right corner of the home screen to start that process. On the first, it auto navigated that step.Mounting (for me) wasn’t exactly a breeze, but manageable. I just didn’t have much experience with this kind of thing. I did have to go buy a 15/64 drill bit for the anchors because the screws aren’t self tapping. Once the holes were drilled, I hammered the anchors in and had to manually screw into the anchors with a Phillips head screwdriver. The second camera was much easier once I kind of knew the process. Take care with the stickers and make sure they aren’t bubbled before you start drilling. I ended up with one hole slightly off.Once the mounts are up, the camera and solar panel attach easily. The camera just slides onto the top finger and the panel screws on. They connect with a m/f plug. It remains to be seen how well the solar panels will charge since I could not position them in direct sunlight and we’re heavily overcast so far here this winter, but since I installed them charged, I’ve noticed that they don’t seem to have a high drain. You can check the battery level from the app, which is a nice feature. USB charging cables are included in case I need to bring them indoors to charge. Again, they slide on and off the mount easily. (Update: the cameras charged fine in overcast, snowy conditions, in indirect sunlight. I mounted one panel lower than the camera so that it was not shaded by the eaves.)I have them mounted about 30′ from the router. My wifi isn’t the greatest, but they are working fine. It does take a few seconds to establish a channel for live viewing in the app, but the alerts are accurate and seemingly instant! It also can record the full event and not just little 6 or 10 second clips. (Update. The recording isn’t instant. You miss a few seconds when motion is first detected)I have SD cards installed, but I did add the cloud subscription- $7.99 for 2 devices ($3.99 for 1) which includes smart AI detection (let’s you know the specifics of the event other than just motion). I want to be able to view my alerts when I am away from home. It was tricky (for me) to figure out how to set up the subscription for both devices under one plan rather than individually. I think I eventually happened across it under the “me” tab, bottom left, and then just started fishing around. It looks like you can enrol one device individually from that cameras screen.I did test the 2 way audio and the sound quality that plays from the camera when you speak is much better than on the unit I replaced.I can pan the camera from the app but it does not appear that I can zoom. The camera does not auto track.. It stays fixed where you position it. There are pros and cons to that one, I guess. (Update. Zoom is a 2 finger pinch/spread method, just like a typical phone screen. It can’t be achieved from the ptz icon. You can also pan by just running your finger on the screen, but the direction is reversed.)The home screen of the app does list both cameras on the same screen and looks like it might show up to 4? I have not yet determined whether or not I can watch the live stream on both cameras at the same time yet. I found a picture in a picture feature, but it just showed me the same camera view.Ultimately, I find these to be well worth the money. The picture and sound clarity are both pretty good and the alerts have been reliable thus far. They arrived quickly and I feel secure that I will be able to see my driveway and entry points from anywhere in my house.Update: if you elect for a subscription, be sure to go back into the individual camera screens and update your AI alerts. Check the ones you want detection on. Your alert time that you already specified will remain if you already set that, but the AI features wouldn’t be activated yet. Remember there are 2 screens in the app from individual camera view for this section and you will have to slide left to access them all.I hope this helps others who want to be able to set up and fully use their devices with the app quickly.Update: The cameras have been in use for about 2 months now and are still performing beautifully, even in this extreme winter weather.I recently left for 3 weeks and on my second day away, they both went offline. They magically came back online a week later. Meanwhile, I tried to teach out to customer support. That’s pretty sketchy. There is a regular phone number (not 1-800) No response to chat.I also cancelled the cloud subscription because I kept getting messages for AI failure and nothing saved to the cloud anyway. I am still able to view my events from my SD card remotely through the app.I had an incident when I was away in which both cameras were tripped but didn’t catch anything but footprints in the snow. When I returned home, I discovered they were likely savvy in evading cameras and were likely inside my car by the time the recording started. The car had been ransacked (could be accessed by blind spot under the camera) but my house was undisturbed (impossible to avoid the camera view on that one).I am still happy with the cameras at the price, but there are a few things to be desired here.

With this I can watch my neighbour and his shinanigans , the women on the block , figure out when my neighbour normally leaves so I can take my dog to crap on his lawn without him knowing because Frick you bob
