Good camera for what we needed, to replace or other solar camera from another provider that just stopped working. No help at all. This camera does the same job and is clear, affordable and good quality. Easy to install and no hassle so far.

This is the first external home camera I have bought and I am very impressed with it. It was easy to install - I have it covering my front path/door. It was straightforward to add the camera to the ANRON app which I downloaded onto my iPhone. I did some testing with the sensitivity and found a setting of 4 was ideal to detect people approaching/entering the house. We have previously had children knockingon the door and running a way and the camera will record this if it happens again.Being able to see who is knocking at the door on the iPhone is great as you then have a choiceto answer it or ignore it. The 'Hold to talk' function allows you to speak to the person at the door without opening it. The camera has been in place, on a north-facing wall, for 5 days and still shows a full charge so I guess the solar panel is charging it efficiently. I bought a micro SD card with the camera, total 54.94, which I consider is great value. I will be buying 2 more of the same camera to cover other parts of our house & garden.Edited 30/08/2024I have now have bought and installed a second of these cameras. It was easy to install and link to the ANARAN app on my iPhone. I have been using the second camera to monitor our drive and cars. I can set the sensitivity to detect everything that comes on the drive, including cats and foxes. Or, I can exclude these to just detect humans. The camera arrived with charge and since I installed it the solar panel has kept the battery fully charged.I like the way the app allows easy navigation of alerts in the app and I am impressed by the video quality, as the cause of the alert is always clearly shown; for example a black cat at night! I would recommend this camera to anyone requiring a dependable camera to monitor their home.

these are decent cameras, thought i’d give them a try out. nice that the solar panel is integrated into the cam, no separate wires to link to the panel and camera, don’t have to drill two lots of holes so it’s a nice and tidy job. they keep the cams charged up pretty well, providing you put them in a lit place of course. 2 of my cameras were right next to my house which was not exposed to a lot of light but still managed to charge to 70% or so. i have frequent motion around my property so its operating a lot, and kept the charge.app interface is pretty easy to navigate and i can easily understand everything, access footageOption for micro sd card or cloud recording, no hidden fees which is good. i opted for sd card- got a 32gb sandisk high endurance which is made for cameras and cctv footage storage. 1 week of recordings not even filled the capacity a lot which is greatthey are not for 24/7 recording, which is what i wanted for my property. unfortunately this is one of the reasons i have returned them.Another reason is the sound quality- cannot really make out voices unless they are speaking very loud. can make out basic sounds like cars coming or opening and closing of doors.third reason is because when motion is detected a lot of the time it’s too late by the time it’s recorded footage and the person / car is gone. i have it set to high sensitivity toooverall pretty good budget system, well made but unfortunately not for me.

Easy to set up and decent picture quality. Good battery life and company offered an extra solar panel as my camera is not quite in direct sunlight due to an overhanging porch. New panel can be located better to ensure camera keeps charging

Extremely easy to set up, literally two mins, very easy to install, and picture quality is great. For the price and peace of mind you can't go wrong. See how it holds up in the dark later. So far so good

I had high hopes for this solar security camera, especially with all the advertised features like colour night vision, two-way audio, and PIR motion detection. However, after using it for a few weeks, I’m left thoroughly unimpressed.Firstly, the motion detection is hit or miss – sometimes it doesn’t pick up movement until the person is nearly out of frame, which defeats the purpose. The two-way talk has a delay and often crackles so much that it's barely usable. The colour night vision only works under ideal conditions; most of the time it’s just grainy black and white.Battery life hasn’t lived up to the description either. Even with the built-in solar panel, I had to recharge it manually after just over a week – and that’s with minimal activity.Setup was a bit fiddly and the app isn't the most intuitive. Occasionally it doesn’t send notifications at all, and sometimes it spams false alerts.Overall, the camera looks good on paper but underdelivers in practice. I wouldn’t rely on it for proper home security.
