Security Camera Outdoor Wireless Solar - 2K CCTV Camera Systems, Battery Operated Home/House Security, PIR Detection, IP65, Colour Night Vision, TF card/Cloud Storage, S1

Honestly, I couldn’t be happier with this solar-powered security camera. From the moment it arrived, everything about it just worked. The setup was incredibly straightforward – I had it connected and running in less than 10 minutes. The instructions were clear, and the app guided me through everything step by step. Speaking of the app, it’s genuinely one of the best I’ve used for smart tech. It’s smooth, intuitive, and lets you customise alerts, view live footage, and scroll back through events without any hassle. The notifications come through quickly and I love being able to check in from anywhere. The image quality is excellent too – both day and night. The HD clarity is way better than I expected for the price. Even in lower light, the night vision picks up a lot of detail. What really sold me though is the solar power. It means I could install it exactly where I wanted for the best view, without worrying about running power cables or being near a socket. It charges well even in typical UK weather, and I haven’t had to think about the battery once since putting it up. If you’re looking for a reliable, wire-free, solar security camera with a brilliant app and crystal-clear video, I’d definitely recommend this one

I bought two cameras, one for the front door to replace a Hive camera that's being phased out, and one for the back garden. They are really excellent, amazing value for the price, and the quality and features are actually better than the much more expensive Hive camera. Setup was pretty simple if you're used to pairing wifi devices, and there are lots of ways to optimise the field of view. The camera can be switched on and off via the app, and you can set it to deliver alerts just for people. I had to charge the first camera once in the winter when light levels were low, but probably my fault for not charging it fully before I installed it. Since charging, it's been at 99% all the time. All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase, and would recommend it. Update 1 - I’ve now installed a second camera at the front door and it too is performing well. I particularly like the speed with which motion is notified to my phone, as the old Hive camera was very slow. My only (relatively minor) concern is that the cameras are very easy to remove from the bracket. Not sure how this could be fixed, especially as it’s actually quite helpful if I need to remove it for charging! But still five stars after 6 months use. Update 2 - both cameras still working well. One is not exposed to direct sunlight in winter and needs to be charged every couple of months. I bought a 3 m USB-C lead so that I can attach and charge the camera without having to take it off the mounting. Takes about 4 hours to charge, and the camera is operational throughout.

It's a great camera, picture is good. It's responsive and gets a good signal even fairly far from my router. The night vision is also very good. Deffo stands up to the weather, it's been raining hard for almost a week now with no issues. Would be 5 stars but the battery is small for this country. It runs out to quickly and can't charge enough in the british winter. I have other cameras from this company which actually do very well in this area and charge enough to run all winter. Not this one though. But other than that, a very solid piece of kit which is well worth the money. First pic is day light, second is night vision and the third is nicht with the built in light on.

What’s Included. • The camera itself • A wall-mount with 360 degree swivel bracket, a drilling template, and screws with wall fixings • USB3 charging cable • Certificate of Conformity • 24H Surveillance warning sticker • Quick Start Guide Setting up Installation was the quickest I have experienced. I was pleased to see that this camera uses the WANSVIEW app, which I already had on my phone. Pressing the POWER button for 5 seconds followed by pressing the RESET button for 5 seconds resulted in the indicator light flashing alternately red and blue. These buttons are located beneath the flap on the top of the camera. After tapping the Add Device button on the app and pointing the camera at the QR code on the app, the camera announced by voice that it had successfully been added to my network. Immediately the image from the camera appeared in the app, together with my other Wansview cameras. Selecting the settings symbol resulted in a window informing me of the Wifi strength and battery charge. Next to the POWER and RESET buttons there is a USB3 slot marked DC 5V, and another marked TF. The DC 5V is for charging the internal battery should there not be sufficient sunlight to charge it during use. I did not need to charge the battery as the app informed me that it was already at near full charge. The TF (TransFlash) slot is for a memory storage card for local storage of images and video. Although it says TF, I managed to insert a 32GB micro SD card. The app detected my 32GB card then included a section for Memory Card Storage. There are a few options associated with this, like Motion alert ENABLE, when to record (scheduled or 24/7), space remaining, and action to take when storage is full (overwrite earliest recordings or stop recording). It also had options for custom recognition and notifications including person recognition. There is no need to subscribe to a cloud based subscription if using the memory card. Installation This involved mounting the camera at a suitable location. This would be a wall or any flat vertical surface where the view required is available. Note, however, that the location must have a good 2.4GHz WiFi signal. The mounting bracket is easy to fit. The template can be stuck to the surface and then the holes drilled where indicated. I found that it if the swivel mount is unscrewed form the mounting base, it was possible to hold the bracket against the mounting surface and then to drill using the holes in the base. The swivel mount has a threaded stud which screws into a socket on the back end of the camera, and the swivel bracket is held to the base by plastic collar. This should be loosely attached so that the body of the camera may be rotated and angled as required before tightening the collar. My attachment was to a wooden beam, so the supplied fixings were not required. In Use The image on the app was bright and sharp and declares itself on the image to be 2K, which is similar to High Definition (HD) or 1920 x 1080 pixels. As I watched myself on the app walking towards the camera, there was very little delay and movement was smooth. The app allows the image to display individually with options in the main screen, individually at full screen or with other Wansview cloud cameras (if any) in a grid. The settings menu provides access to various other functions built in to the camera, but at the top of the main screen is a useful indication of WiFi signal strength and the battery charge percentage. If sunlight is detected, then the battery symbol alternates between blue and green to indicate that it is charging. On testing the alert function it appeared that an alert was not triggered unless the movement was close to the camera. Checking the Motion detection settings revealed that by default these have been set to Power-save mode (see screenshot above). Clearly, with a battery powered camera it is important that the battery drain does not exceed the solar charging capability. In a British winter, I’m not sure how this will work out even in Power-save Mode. The settings available are: POWER-SAVE STANDARD PERFORMANCE SENSITIVITY LOW NORMAL HIGH DETECTION DISTANCE NEAR NORMAL FAR RETRIGGER INTERVAL 60 SECS 30 SEC 0 SECS The camera did trigger an alert and it did record me but not until I had reached the camera and started to walk away, but in the light of the above explanation I think this is acceptable. I changed them to Standard Mode, and this time an alert was triggered when I was about 5 metres away from the camera, so I think Performance mode would increase this distance further. The battery indicated that it was 60% full after running for 5 days in Power-Save mode in poor sunlight weather. After changing the settings to Standard, the battery indicated 48% after about 4 hours. However I was creating a lot of alerts in that time by walking back and forth to check it. With it still in Standard mode but with nothing to cause an alert, it is still showing 48% 2 hours later. Reviewing the alerts is achieved by selecting the Replay button on the main screen of the app. This will open a timeline showing where the alerts have occurred, and allow the video at that time to be viewed. Night vision is very good, with the built in infra-red lighting automatically switching on when darkness descends (see screenshot above). Summary A very impressive camera – easy to set up and good quality images were obtained day and night. The alert function can be adjusted between power saving and sensitivity. The only minor issue I had was the camera slipped slightly during a high winds. Make sure the swivel bracket is fully tightened. Update after 2 months’ use (Mid December to Mid February 2025) The camera has performed faultlessly, providing clear images, day and night. Particularly impressive is the fact that its solar panel has now charged the battery to 100%, as indicated on the display. No charging cable has been attached during use. This is despite the fact that I have set it to Performance Mode, with the motion sensitivity at HIGH, detection distance to FAR and retrigger interval to 0 seconds.

Es muy buena camara, se carga solo con el Sol, se escucha muy bien el sonido, la imagen es muy buena, envía alertas de movimiento, tiene sirena y puedes hablar y prender la luz, excelente compra!

La caméra est vraiment top ! Elle filme très bien et l’application permet de tout gérer facilement. Franchement, je la recommande à 100 %.

La cámara llegó bastante rápido. De tamaño está bien, es muy fácil de instalar y de configurar. La imagen se ve bastante nítido y en color. Es fija, no sé mueve. La batería carga bien al sol, también viene un cable con posibilidad de enchufarla para cargar. Se recomienda cargarla 100% al primer uso. Tiene la opción de poner una tarjeta SD de memoria para guardar los vídeos de detección. También existe la posibilidad de guardar las imágenes en la nube, pero tiene un coste por suscripción. En definitiva, la cámara está bien, hace su función y su precio es barato. Yo la tengo en la terraza para que me avise al móvil si hay una alerta.

Très bonne caméra extérieure, qui complète très mes autres cameras gérables sur la même appli. Installation facile avec QR code. La qualité d’image est excellente, de jour comme de nuit, avec des images nettes et bien contrastées. L’interface de l’application Vansview est intuitive et fluide, ce qui facilite la configuration, la consultation des vidéos et les réglages de détection. La taille est modeste et le poids léger, rendant l’installation simple et discrète. Le fonctionnement solaire est efficace, tandis que la possibilité de recharge par câble est un vrai atout pour gérer l’autonomie, notamment par temps couvert cumulé d'une position défavorable sous un porche. La batterie tient longtemps (après 8 jours sous porche par temps pluvieux, le niveau était encore à 76%, nettement au-dessus de nombreuses caméras similaires, ce qui réduit les interventions de maintenance. Une option fiable et bien pensée pour une surveillance extérieure autonome et conviviale pour un utilisateur qui ne veut pas perdre de temps avec des détails techniques

Really happy with this all in one security camera so far. The 2K video quality is clear and detailed, and the built-in solar panel is a big plus since I don’t have to worry about charging it. Setup was quick and easy, and the two-way audio works well for talking through the app. I also like that you can share access with multiple users. Overall, it’s been reliable and easy to use.
