For an aftermarket add on, the Solar Wireless Backup Camera HD 1080P Rechargeable System with 5'' Monitor, is a game changer!Right out of the box, I tried it. Not only did it connect right away, but the picture was amazingly clear! So, I fully un-packed the unit, charged the camera fully and couldn't wait to get it installed, up and running.After fully charged, it took longer for me to decide on the placement of the camera on my lift gate than it did to get it all hooked up and running.The manual is fairly well written and laid out, as are the color pictures. I had thought for sure passing by one of our many huge power transformer stations, the picture would be interrupted, flicker or even lose connection. My Bad!! Never happened, not even a flicker!!It seems as long as it is daylight out, this camera charges! Even those cloudy days where you cannot see the sun, the icon shows charging taking place.I noticed that it does not have a night vision per se' BUT you do not need it. This camera is so good that ambient light provides a clear, color view. I turn it off when a car comes up from behind and haven't used it continuously at night since I do not want to be blinded. That said, a simple push of the provided button and problem solved. Total darkness, backup lights provide enough light to see where you are backing.The dual mounting capability of the monitor is a plus. Also, the use of the camera on another vehicle with a simple removal from one bracket to another is great! Weatherproof housing of the camera totally seals out the rain and cold. Huge thunderstorm the other day and the camera worked better than the one that came with our other factory installed system!What more can you say, well worth the investment for this quality system and it works beyond expectations. Get it, try it, YOU will not be disappointed... HIGHLY Recommend for sure!

I would say I'm not a normal user of these security camera's. I purchased a few of these to replace some very old 10+ year old camera's that I had connected to my Zone Minder system via the rtsp web link.I'm here to write completely about RTSP and it works great. The app calls it NAS/RTSP but basically it's a URL that you can use software to access the camera. Most of the camera manufacturers will only allow you access via their app and have you pay to keep recordings of the feed if you need to review it. I purchased these as a few of the reviews indicate RTSP support. I have them connected to my ZoneMinder dedicated computer system, recording all the time so I don't need to pay anything or keep a memory card in them. I have not tried the specific camera features as ZoneMinder handles recording and motion detection for me. There are specific instructions on how to setup ZoneMinder with these camera's, just google search them. Also as an extra security measure, once you set these up with ZoneMinder you can disable internet access for the camera to make it harder to be hacked (just enable to update the firmware).I took a star away as a few of them have randomly become inaccessible until either I unplug them or after 24 hours they seem to reset themselves. They do not show up in the app, nor does the RTSP feed work. I also cannot ping the camera's during these issues. Being used as a security measure, I want these to be reliable to continuously be available if/when I would need to review the footage. The cameras have not done this continuously so I do not think it's an issue with hardware but I will monitor to see if the same ones have issues.

I ordered the Mini Body Camera Video Recorder by Iseason, which currently retails for $35.09. I think that for the price, it's perfectly good value and a reasonable camera to collect footage in a convenient way. This camera is small, and if you can get it attached at a good angle or propped up correctly, it can be used as a spy cam to keep an eye on what's happening on your house (nanny cam style.) It could also be used to monitor the front door or driveway. It's not my first pick as an action cam for sports, because I already have a high quality action camera with great image stabilization. However, this is a nice hands-free alternative. It's very easy to use, but of course the main drawback from a security camera standpoint is the lack of wifi interaction. I can't be out somewhere and check on my home in real time. I'd have to come home and check the recorded footage on the camera afterwards to see if anything had happened while I was away. Plus, it maxes out at 6 hours of recording, then starts recording back on top of old footage, so if you're away for longer than that or using it for longer, you will lose the initial footage recorded. Still, that CAN be a convenient feature, since one of the drawbacks of my other action cam is that I can't delete footage from the card on the go, and the camera stops working when the storage space runs out, forcing me to take the time to swap out the card and delete the old card later. The fact that this one keeps recording over top of itself makes it convenient to use as a body cam if you know you're going to only check it if there was an incident you needed the footage from. Overall, I would say that this is a nice compact camera that works well. It has its advantages and disadvantages but it's certainly useful.

I like to think of myself as a reasonably competent amateur photographer with a fair knowledge-base about better quality cameras. The Canon USA EOS M6 Mark II Mirrorless Camera has impressed me far more than I might have expected. My favorite camera before acquiring this canon is my Nikon L820 Cool-pix released in February of 2013. This Canon has an arsenal of features compared to my former favorite.The initial set-up is fairly easy to set up; the battery with comes with its own charger dock needed to be fired up, the lens installed and an SD card if wanted inserted. Once set up the camera is comfortable to the grip with control buttons and key layouts that's intuitive and familiar to anyone with modest experience of newer digital cameras. There's an optional viewfinder for bright and sunny days when use of the touchscreen LCD viewer get obscured. This viewfinder has a sensor that detects your eye when you look into it and which turns off the main LCD display when used. The main LCD viewer can also be adjusted on hinges.There are 12 features among the mode choices accessible on one of the three dials each of which are easy to understand once you select from the LCD screen; there's a plethora of filters and adjustments options that allow for a variety of effects. When set on automatic and the camera does a very good job of adjusting to a particular environment. This setting, however, it is not perfect and taking the time to learn how to manually adjust for darker settings, low light, distance or other particulars is well worth the time and effort required. There's also downloadable supporting software on the Canon site to aid in editing and transferring your images through WiFi and Bluetooth. This camera also supports Android, Mac and various other devices. Although this device transfers data over a USB-C type cable through a port is on the mini HDMI port side, no such cable is included; I much prefer transferring over over cable verses its WiFi function given that the latter drains the battery quite rapidly and transfers data rather slowly. A peculiar aside I noticed: the battery doesn't charge while on the USB. The fact that the battery charger is of a proprietor y rather than universal design suggests to me that buying an additional charger is a good idea. Once charged, however, the battery life is impressive for photo-shoots but discharges quickly when the camera is in video recording mode.The Canon also has a built-in mic and a port for a better one. The audio quality is good, as is the video it produces with can be set up to a 4K quality. As of this writing I am already wondering about the flash burst included. After a about three weeks of virtually daily use and testing of this camera I can say that there's just so much to learn about it. But I'm having fun discovering it all. The Canon site has everything you need to get yourself started. If you're willing to make the investment this EOS M6 Mark II will meet pretty much all your photography needs at least until you're ready to move up into the professional photographer ranks.

High quality cord. Very pleased, I use this cord for my Wyze camera that is located outside & I have zero issues.

The SOLIOM S600 solar powered outdoor camera was pretty easy to install since you don't have to run any wires (power, video feed, etc.). You'll have to download the SOLIOM+ app and create an account - that was my least favorite part of the install. Another app, another account another company/country having access to my camera and phone :( Once the app was installed and I synced with the camera (I wasn't able to use the QR Code I had to use the audio option) it was pretty straight forward from there. I did notice that when I installed the camera for the first time it only had 2 bars for Wi-Fi, but a reboot of the camera AND wireless router fixed that, it now has 4 bars for signal strength.The camera yields a 1080p view that is crystal clear and easy to see. The solar panel keeps the batteries charged all day so there is no power issue as of yet. I researched adding additional batteries but could not find the specific voltage and mAh (I'm guessing 3.7v and 3000mAh) so I won't be adding any extra batteries - and so far I don't need them. Be mindful of your install orientation - if you mount it upside down i.e. attaching to a roof eave, etc. you will lose some of your PTZ features. In my situation I now only have up and down, no side-to-side, Test the PTZ features before you start drilling holes.Also note that you HAVE TO USE the app for viewing, etc. You cannot FTP or add this camera to a NAS for recording :(Overall I am pretty impressed with the camera quality. It's a bit larger than I'd like (it's not that pretty and sticks out a bit in my install situation) but it does the job great and the larger solar panel means it will work 24/7/365 without any issues.

The main appeal of this product is it's very simple installation that basically does not require any wiring. The power to the camera is supplied by a large battery that is solar charged. This eliminates any need to access vehicle wiring. The battery and solar panel and camera are all in a compact unit that is placed with adhesive strip ideally close to the license plate. The monitor can be directly wired but can also be power from a typical cigarette lighter adapter or other 5 volts supply. The monitor is relatively compact but bright and clear. The compact size allows for placement to the left lower windshield corner where it does not block any view forward. See photo attached.The wireless configuration prevents the need to wire the camera to the backup lights. This slightly compromises the utility of the unit since it uses a different protocol to determine when the monitor is on or off. The monitor comes on as soon as the ignition key goes to accessory setting and that starts a timer which will turn the monitor off after a user selected duration (45, 60, or 90 seconds). This of course is not the exact protocol one might want but in a typical situation it functions basically the same as if the camera was wired directly to the backup lights. Of note, let's say the camera times out while you still need to see the backup area for the vehicle then all that is necessary is to press a remote control button that is provided as part of the unit and is also wireless. This is the signal to turn the monitor back on for a repeat of the user selected duration. Not ideal but pretty close and a good trade-off to eliminate complicated wiring that would otherwise be required.The camera is claimed to be waterproof which will hopefully be the case. It's not clear however if the camera with the all-in-one battery and solar panel will be safe to go through a automatic car wash given the antenna attached to it. Suspect it will be prudent to easily remove the antenna prior to using the car wash. Otherwise no major flaws in the design or implementation of this backup camera.

UPDATE:Camera worked reasonably well despite its limitations. Was working, but suddenly stopped connecting to the Danale app. I reset the camera, and reinstalled the app, but no luck. It loads the camera to about 80 to 90 percent, the app freezes, then says that the connection is too weak. Since the camera is on Ethernet and not Wi-Fi, I’m not sure how the connection is to weak.UPDATE:I had some problems with this camera at first, especially with setup and the rtsp stream (See original 2-star review below).After seeing my first review, the company contacted me to offer assistance. Between their suggestions, and a lot of trial and error, I was able to get the rtsp stream working. They do have an app (Danale) but it is, in my opinion, severly lacking for ease of use and software quality. They also appear to use some form of propritary stream access to limit use by other apps, which is why I only 4-stars. I could get the stream to work, but I could never reliably control the cam using any app except theirs. This is simply wrong on so many levels, and the manufacturer needs to change this.The camera itself is well made, and stable. Video is superb. Just don't expect an easy setup unless you use their propritary app.-----------------------------ORIGINAL REVIEW:I am very experienced with IP cams. This seems like a very well made camera. Picture quality is outstanding. However, I could not get the rtsp stream to work, trying it on several devices. I contacted their customer support by email and they were quick to respond, and offered a couple of other alternate ways to get the rtsp feed, but none of them worked. I don't know if this camera is defective, or that they are all like the one I received.I spent a lot of time trying to get this one to work, but to no avail. Sending it back.
