use two of the cameras. One in the garden and one at the front of the house. I chose the camera because I didn't want to drill holes in the house or install extra sockets. That's why the battery-operated camera with solar panel is a good alternative. If you position the camera well for yourself (e.g. near a window on the upper floor), you can easily attach a power bank to it in an emergency. I also wanted a camera that doesn't necessarily need a cloud, but saves everything on an SD card. If someone wants to steal a camera, they will. If it's hung high enough, it's not impossible, but a bit more difficult. So I personally see saving on an SD card as a problem. The camera delivers good pictures and is easy to install. Setting it up is also child's play. Install the app on your smartphone, switch on the camera, scan the QR code and connect it to the WiFi. That's it. I would use the smartphone app for the first setup, later you can also install the Windows software. During setup, a password is assigned for the camera. You should make sure that the password is secure. So at least 8 characters (preferably more), consisting of numbers, upper and lower case letters and special characters. Since the camera has been hanging in the garden for a while now, I can already say something about the solar panel. I did not pre-charge the back of the camera. It was attached straight away when the battery was at 70%. The solar panel charged the battery to 100% in a week. The sun does not have to shine directly on the solar panel, it is enough that it is simply there. At the front of the house, I do not have direct sunlight. A house is simply too far forward for that. Despite this, the battery is kept at 100% in the morning hours. What I would like to see for this camera from K&F CONCEPT in the future: - The option of connecting it to a server or to the disk station - A solar panel with good low-light performance that can be retrofitted would make winter days a little better. I don't have any experience of winter operation, but I can imagine that it will be a little more difficult to charge the battery in winter. So far, I would definitely recommend buying the K&F camera. However, the settings also play an important role here. Motion detection and a schedule for when the camera is "switched on" help to save battery power. When you are at home, the PIR does not necessarily have to be switched on. If you do leave the house for a longer period of time, you can quickly change the schedule with just a few clicks. Addendum: It is now autumn and so far I am still happy with the cameras. I have had to recharge the front camera once with a power bank (there is a lot of movement right at the front door). Since I placed the camera very well, I was able to get to it very quickly and it was charged to 100% again within half an hour. The low-light performance of the solar panel is also better than expected. The support is also very good. The second camera was defective from one moment to the next and a new one was sent to me without much back and forth. The new one was already defective upon arrival and a third one was sent immediately. Everything was uncomplicated and quick. The shipping costs for the return were immediately refunded after a brief inquiry.
