Really Solid
The sound quality, while a little tinny from time to time, is a lot better than I expected. I'm not thrilled about the battery life, but there are some caveats there. 5 hours seems to be a pretty common battery life for wireless earbuds right now, especially in this price range (this is my first ever pair of wireless earbuds; this one of those caveats I mentioned), but it's a little irritating for me because I use them mostly for work, which is a pretty standard 8 hour shift. So, yeah, not great for me but not bad on the whole. The charger case does a really great job, though, I must say. I've had bad luck with similar wireless charging devices but it's incredibly dependable. Also, they're quite unobtrusive, very comfortable, and do an excellent job with noise cancelling.

GOOD ECONOMIC ALTERNATIVE TO GOPRO
The media could not be loaded.
I bought this camera for a trip to Hawaii. I did not have experience with action cameras. The camera worked well and provided great images and videos. I can’t speak to the 4K aspect of the camera as I do not have 4K televisions or screens to watch such content but from researching 4K cameras this one may not be true 4K from what I’ve read. That being said, it performed great while swimming with an underwater case on it as well as being attached on my person for rock climbing videos. It also has a nice time lapse video function. I like that I can choose the width of the angle for photos/videos. Very good camera for the money and I would recommend it to anyone getting started using an action cam. I did find the instructions confusing but I just looked for a YouTube video to guide me and was able to find more useful information that way. The company did send me a letter several months after I bought the camera offering to provide me with a free backpack for my honest review so I wanted to disclose that but also say that this is indeed my honest opinion of the camera.The main takeaways are it will shoot good wide screen or regular photos/videos as well as time lapse. Battery life is good and it comes with two batteries. I’m not sure if the 4K setting is truly shooting in 4K and the instructions can be confusing although I was able to easily operate the camera with some help from a YouTube video. Overall recommend and cannot beat the price!

It is a good solid product that performs well and
The camera performed very well in two weeks that I had installed outside. It weathered three severe thunderstorms and wind gusts up to 50 MPH in driving rain. Currently the camera is installed on the deck via stand screwed to the handrail. The camera does have some barrel distortions but that is expected in a pin hole type camera. The focus is relatively good. The contrast of the picture is bit too much. There is no way to adjust picture properties such as brightness, contrast, hue, etc.I would have paid little more to have a zoom option, but I understand that adds complexities that may cause the reliability to go down.I tried to keep it inside of the house, but the LED lights caused reflection that made the outside the glass unviewable. So, the only option was to have it mounted outside. I am bit surprised that it survived the harsh rain and wind conditions as well as recent heat wave of 100 degrees. The battery is still showing 90% after a week on battery. I am mightily surprised for the battery have such a miniscule discharge rate. At this rate it will last over a month one a single charge.I have moved it couple of times to direct sunlight to see if the heat adversely affect this unit; it did not.The camera is currently 30 feet from the router. I have never had issues with the loss of signal while during the lightning storms. It is a good unit so far.Obviously, there are something that I cannot review. I will check back after the winter and see if it survive the cold ice storms and such.It is overall a very good performer. I have connected to this camera over 1000 miles away. It is nice to see your home while away in business trips. A good camera sofar.

Updated: Great night vision camera
The camera is easy to hold and to use, but the night vison is not as amazing as advertised. I zoomed into an owl on nearby tree, the first photo was while there was still some light, the second was later in the evening. Basically you need to have some light in order to get a good photo. Overall its not bad, but not as good as I thought it was going to be based on the product description and the photos they show you.--- Updated 8/3/2021After messing around with the camera more and getting better with the different infrared settings I was able to take a zoomed in photo of a tree while outside and it was pitch black. When using night vision and zooming in it is a bit tough to take a very steady photo, but it does have a connector for a stand (which I wasnt using). As far as getting a crystal clear photo of a moving animal while its pitch black out.... you would have to be some amazing photographer and it would be very hard to do with this camera, BUT taking a great photo of a stationary animal while it is pitch black out is very possible with this camera.So overall this is a great night vision camera for the amateur photographer like me.

Good picture quality, mic needs improvement
All in all it is a very nice camera especially for the price, but do plan to buy a headset to supplement the subpar mic. Rated 4 stars due to the mic issue.Pros: Good quality video and true plug and play, no software installation required. The USB cord is very long which is just what we needed with our PC setup. The camera angle can be physically adjusted up or down.Cons: The mount is not the most secure. When closing/opening the privacy screen it's a good idea to hold the camera to ensure you don't push it too far back and knock it over. The mic barely pics up sound unless you hold the device directly in front of your mouth which is clearly not the intended use. We plugged up our Plantronics headset into another USB slot and that worked much better for sound.Important note: When we plugged the camera into the USB 3.0 port on our PC the computer didn't recognize the camera, even though the manual says it can accept USB 2.0/3.0. We had no issues using the USB 2.0 slot.

A great product with even better customer service
I bought the camera and monitor bundle with additional cameras when we had our second child. Our previous monitor was discontinued and we were so happy with the switch. After years of use they still work great. There are also great aftermarket products that pair with it for even more use.Recently we traveled and I brought our playroom camera on the trip. I hadn’t realized that the camera’s night vision was not functioning because it was formerly only a playroom camera and was never used in the dark. I contacted customer service and Jen S was pleasant and prompt. She told me the warranty was only for 1 year and my products had been purchased more than 2 1/2 years ago. Understanding I was well out of the warranty I thanked her and told her she should close the service ticket and I’d handle it. Instead, she responded that although it was out of warranty the company wanted to make it right and they replaced the camera and monitor. That is beyond wonderful service and dedication to customer satisfaction. A great product with great customer service. I have only the best things to say about this company.

Great Security Camera with Lots of Features
The Soliom S600 is an excellent camera for the price. All of the mounting hardware is included, which makes for an easy installation. I had the unit connected to my WiFi via the Soliom+ Android app and mounted outside in under a half hour. My WiFi is set up with the same SSID for 2.4GHz as the 5GHz, and the camera was able to connect without disabling the 5GHz. Connecting the camera to the app can be done via QR scanner or sound communication between the camera and smartphone-the sound process is easiest.The video and picture quality is very good, and can be saved to SD card (not included) or uploaded to Soliom's cloud subscription service, hosted for a reasonable fee at Amazon's AWS here in the USA. Video is crisp and easy to recall for viewing and can be downloaded to your smartphone's photo library. Snapshots are also crisp and downloadable as well.The cameras features are easy to set and use. Pan, tilt and rotate are easily changed via the app. The motion detection has 3 sensitivity levels, High, Medium & Low, and can also be turned off. Motion triggers the LED spot lights to turn on and start recording. Recording has 5 different delay options. No delay, 15sec, 30sec, 60sec & always on. It also has an alarm that can be turned on/off, and the two way communication through the camera is clear.The solar panel does a great job at keeping the battery charged, even through several days of cloudy weather.I've not needed tech support with this particular camera, but have previously with a different Soliom camera. They were very responsive and quick to resolve my issue-I was quite pleased with the process.

Directly configure the camera for best results
The camera was easy to set up, but it was out of focus when it arrived. I thought that perhaps I had a faulty model, but I was able to fix the focus issue by installing the LMS software recommended by the supplier and manually adjusting the settings. The camera video quality is good both night and day, and the night vision distance is good for our purposes (approx. 100 ft).We wanted to look at the camera through my wife's Mac Mini, and although we could connect to the camera there was no video. The same configuration worked great on Windows 10. I contacted support, who told me that Mac was not supported (see below). However, by logging into the camera through the browser interface and changing the default video format to H.264 it works just fine on a Mac.I tried twice to inform the support person that H.264 allows you to view video on the Mac, and all I get is the same fixed response that Mac is not supported. My guess is that there isn't a real person on the end of the support line; just a bot that's looking for key words and giving pre-prepared responses.

Camera works well and good customer support - upda
Pro's:- You can select what kind of motion triggers the camera, ours is set for people and it seems to work well- Relatively easy to install and set up, one note though, the wall anchors they provide are not suitable for use in brick so if you are not attaching the camera to wood you'll need buy anchors and have a masonry drill bit- Good Customer Service, we were having a problem with how to use the two way communication and they responded back to several messages very quickly.- Price is very reasonable for this quality of a camera- Will accept a memory card or store to the cloud- Notifications show up on the cell phone and you can attach more than one phone to the account- Update: Very good battery life, unit went almost 2 months on a single chargeCons:Nothing to serious - somethings the signal can be a bit lagging because of the WiFi signal strength but that's more a function of our internet and not the cameraUpdate: After about 2 months of using this camera I have been very happy with this purchase - would definitely buy again if I ever decide I need a second camera.
