Super Motion Detection
It’s been a great purchase. The motion detection feature is top-notch and quickly alerts me to any movement in my backyard. The wifi connection is quick and easy to set up, allowing me to access the footage from my phone at any time. However, I have been disappointed with the night vision capabilities of the camera. While it does have night vision, the image quality is not as clear as I had hoped. Overall, I highly recommend this camera for its motion detection and wifi connectivity, but be aware that the night vision may not meet your expectations.

The perfect monitor
This is our third baby monitor in less than two years, and I wish I’d gotten this one sooner! It’s a fantastic value. You just open the box and you’re ready to go! The display is not terribly large, but that’s no issue for us. I had a heck of a time finding a camera that rotates, and camera checks that box. I like the temperature display and great battery life. We will likely add a second camera soon, which is another great feature. This is a great, non-Wifi option!

Excellent wifi camera and excellent service.
I have been using my Amcrest 720P camera for over a year and it has worked very well. I have the Amcrest app installed on both of my cell phones and have rarely lost the wifi connection. Recently, though, my camera stopped connecting and I became extremely frustrated trying to fix the problem, even though I had followed the directions to restore it. I knew that the service support department doesn't work on weekends, so I was even more frustrated knowing I would have to wait until Monday for help. Then, out of the blue, AMCREST CAME TO MY RESCUE! Though Amcrest Support is not available on weekends, a service technician took time to call me on Saturday, He was remarkably helpful, and in just a few minutes, had my camera up and working again. I was so grateful to him, and couldn't believe that he would take the time on a day that Amcrest service was supposed to have off. Thanks so much, Amcrest!! Your camera is very good, and your service to support it is excellent. Thank you so much for your time and your expertise. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this camera to anyone.

Good trail camera, but wifi is a failure
Got this Ceyomur Solar 4k Trail Camera to replace a 5 year old Distianert DH-8 1080p trail camera. Main usage is to monitor critter hot spots around the gardens, orchards, and hen house, like groundhog fence breaches (and snares), deer traces and loitering patterns, raccoon hen house raids, activity timing, and other details to assist with deterring these intruders or removing pernicious raiders. Trail cameras are a good low cost starting point for this, but recently I got a security camera system (3x PTZ, 8x bullet) with network video recorder (all POE).So the trail cameras will shift to other interesting spots to watch for critters, for examples: Compost piles attract mostly opossums, raccoons, and mice. Bird feeders attract certain bird species & squirrels. Fruit trees attract other bird species & opossums, sometimes raccoons and even deer. Nut trees attract squirrels and still other bird species including turkeys. Dead critters attract foxes, raccoons, opossums, and still other bird species including crows & vultures. I suspect an uncommon frequency of deer carcasses here has altered local fox behavior to respond to food as a proto pack, both taking down wounded deer and rapidly devouring carcasses as a group, with a lot of it carted off for the kits, this is punctuated by a chorus of fox singing echoing through the hollows, and a sort of wild fox laughter as they chase things around, truly wild sounds which I'd love to catch on camera, but unfortunately they can see the IR on the old camera so they quickly drag the carcass out of view before feasting. Also suspect an occasional wild kitty has come through, bobcat or mountain lion, which I'd love to catch on camera too. That is something I hope this solar power camera can do much more easily, with lower visibility IR, no/less audible clicking sounds, and long endurance (not having to bring it in for recharge every 3 to 5 days), like the old camera.Build and design quality on the casing is better in some ways but worse in others, the plastic on the main housing is a little heavier duty but the frame structure for the mounting strap is weaker, and the latches are the weaker single part design rather than stronger two part design. I think they went with a simpler lower cost design but made the plastic a little thicker to avoid feeling cheap, or put another way, what's there feels good quality but it's lacking in robustness of the features.Build, design, and functionality of the electronics is good, much better than the old camera (which was good for it's time). The camera is crisp, clear, and fast. Motion detection is good, little better than old camera. The IR illuminators are less visible, but seem brighter on IR images & video, much better night time visibility. Audio is good, no mic noises (hiss), no encoding noise (chirp/pop), no induced radio noise (low pitch tones), wind noises are more natural sounding (not like blowing against a cheap mic). Files are clean, no corrupt videos, even in hot weather (albeit hottest it's been here since getting this is mid 80's, not multiple days of high 90's like earlier this summer, which corrupted several videos on the old camera), video is h.265, with similar file size to old 1080p mjpeg avi. Camera settings are well organized in menus, easier to intuit, but the ~20 page manual is still a useful reference, and necessary to understand the details behind some of the features. Battery setup is good, really like having the 4xAA backup battery pack so it still works at low temperatures.For me the wifi feature is a failure, I was expecting Internet of Things (IoT) but this resembles a decade old gimmicky cheap value-add feature. The wifi range is very short and it seems to only work with their app - no connecting to a wifi access point or adhoc/mesh to nearby devices, no network setup, no webpage, no ftp/sftp, no terminal, no security camera or webcam protocols supported, no network video recorder support, etc. I had hoped I could setup up this trail camera anywhere within my wifi coverage, even if that meant a long range relay mounted on a small pole with a solar panel, and then check on it remotely and/or have it push alerts, images, and video to another computer via wifi (local or online). But nope, not supported, it's spitting distance and crappy app only. Maybe this wifi hardware is like a very simple Arduino chip, and they needed to spend $3 or $4 more to get a better IoT style wifi chip, the sort of thing you can find on high-end coffee pots these days or any printer for the past 15 years.Several camera brands do support this advanced usage of wifi, and a few offer 4G/5G cellular wifi access points for multiple trail cameras, and/or trail camera to trail camera adhoc (mesh) wifi daisy chaining of dozens of trail cameras or wifi repeaters, all of which can be solar powered. Those other brands also offer lots of paid add-on services, like cloud based image & video hosting, AI analysis with filtered alerts, etc, but generally the data can still be pushed to any wifi accessible local device or online server without paying a subscription fee, other than metered cellular data usage, or free data with a limited number of images per month increased with paid image transfer packs. Those name-brand trail camera companies want people to believe those wifi networking features are expensive, but it's not, it's cheap and easy with free open source software if the trail camera has similarly cheap and easy "IoT style" wifi hardware.Could also do a good comparison with security cameras, especially the newer solar powered 4k pan-tilt-zoom cameras, which can nearly fill the same role as a solar trail camera. Unfortunately most of those are hobbled by only supporting proprietary (subscription) cloud video recording services (not a local network video recorder), also have crappy proprietary control apps (not support open standards based apps), but can be live streamed from anywhere (direct access only), and still have on-board SD card storage (albeit most are limited to 128GB). These seemingly advanced security cameras have a similar price point to this trail camera, but trail camera functionality is weak, these miss smaller critters, have poor response to motion detection for auto pan-tilt toward critters entering video coverage arc but outside of active camera arc, the motion is noisy, and almost all are bright white. Better performance and open standards support is available from wifi PTZ cameras with hard wired power, which could be supplied via an external solar panel and larger battery (e.g. 5W continuous, 10W momentary), but that power hardware makes this setup a lot more expensive. Sooner than later a camera company will release a solar wifi security camera with adhoc/mesh and full open standards support, at a good price, the hardware and software are ready, just waiting for someone to release a product. The exact same is true of trail cameras, the tech is just waiting there, but it's easier without the PTZ, dual IR & visible spot lights, two-way audio, mounting hardware for buildings, and other unnecessary features.Which is along way of explaining, this trail camera wifi sucks because they failed to put much effort into it, nothing to do with available hardware or software, whomever did this simply didn't care.Price point of $129.99 is a bit high, but the $15 off coupon makes this a good deal compared to similar cameras.Overall, I have mixed feelings about this, my inkling now is 4 stars and dismiss the wifi as a failure with the above info. Problem is that's biased because I saw a review before I requested this item saying the wifi was worthless but the 4k & solar were good. If I had bought this mainly for wifi functionality I would rate this 1 or 2 stars. So a more well rounded rating might be 3 stars, but that's too harsh if you figure that without wifi this trail camera would easily be 5 stars, so back to 4 stars recognizing the wifi failure.Hope that helps, thanks for reading, and thanks to Amazon for the free trail camera to review.

Best investment when you have a baby.
Currently I have gone through 6 baby monitors of several brands. By far extremely happy with this purchase. Great picture, great audio, night vision works well, music playback, can hook up multiple camera to the unit wirelessly.

New Baby monitor.
Camera is awesome! Love the mobility of the monitor with out having to rely on our phones. Give us peace of mind allowing us the comfort of watching our newborn sleep and use our phones at the same time. Lastly love that it is not connected to our WiFi (not “bogging” down WiFi speed, less likely to be hacked).

Great picture
My son does videos on YouTube and we were looking for a camera. This camera is by far the best. We have tried different providers and the quality of the image is not even close.My son was able to set it up by himself without any help. Great picture and audio quality

It's Boavision, so...
Not my first Boavision camera.This one is similar to one I tried before that failed on me, except this one is black and has slightly different lenses and lights.Not easy to set up, if you're familiar with wifi cameras this won't be too hard but still takes some work.Picture quality - okNightvision - okIt's a decent budget wifi camera but we'll see how long it lasts.I frequently update my reviews as products get used, especially if they fail. So, I may be back. If I haven't updated yet, it's still working.Wouldn't recommend if you're a newbie to wifi cams.Would recommend if you need a decent budget wifi cam and don't mind the hassle of setting it up.
