good outdoor camera with the benefit of solar charging
The camera was delivered quickly and well packaged. In addition to the camera itself, the scope of delivery includes a solar charging panel and a USB cable for charging with a plug-in power supply. Also included are drilling templates for attaching the camera and the solar charging panel, as well as screws and dowels. The solar charging panel has a cable length of approx. 2.90 m. The connections for the charging cable and the SD slot are on the underside of the camera. They are covered by a silicone flap. There is a plug in the silicone flap to connect the charging cable without having to open the whole flap. Unfortunately, this plug is then no longer attached, so you have to keep it well so you don't lose it. I've been using the camera for over a week now. Registering in the app didn't work at first, which was probably due to the fact that the battery wasn't sufficiently charged. After a full charge via a plug-in power supply, registration in the app then ran smoothly. The quality of the picture is excellent. Both by day and by night. Switching to IR night mode can be disabled, automatic switching between day and night vision can be selected, or you can switch to night vision without supporting the built-in IR diodes if you use an external IR illuminator. The motion alarm is reliable, and you can adjust the detection sensitivity and range of detection in the app. Also, the interval frequency of detection can be set to save battery power. The camera image can be rotated in the app depending on the mounting position. If an alarm is detected, a video sequence is saved in the cloud or on a built-in SD card. Protection plans can also be created via the cloud, which offer more options. I don't use the cloud myself because the videos on the SD card are enough for me. 24/7 storage is not possible, videos are only saved when an alarm is detected. Unfortunately, the camera did not have the option of calling up an RSTP stream like other cameras from the manufacturer. You are therefore limited to the manufacturer app. I have not yet connected the solar charging panel to be able to make a buld about battery performance. After more than a week of normal use without excessive hits, the charge level is still at 60%. So it shouldn't be a problem to operate the camera permanently with the solar panel, even if the sun doesn't shine all the time. Basically, I'm very happy with the camera. It is a pity, but as is the case with all cameras in this price range, that storage on a local storage location in the network is not possible. the SD card in the camera enables longer recordings, but if someone tampers with the storage medium, the recordings are gone. 24/7 storage would also be nice, but would probably consume too much power with a battery-powered camera. I think it's a pity that you can't call up an RSTP stream, but unfortunately I don't know if this is also due to the battery technology. If you attach the camera to a place where it/the SD card is protected from unauthorized access, you have a flexibly attachable camera with the solar panel that delivers a good picture and does its job perfectly. If you can live without 24/7 recording and storage on the network, you have a very good camera with an excellent image for this price.
