    How can a solar camera power itself? Aren't the solar panels not powerful enough to keep it powered? The secret is that it doesn't. It just only turns on long enough to record a short clip and then powers back down. It will turn back on when there is movement. Check out this review of this solar security camera to see if it is right for you.

    Also what is different between 50 and 60 Hz in setting and which one you use since it is solar ?

    • @BeatTheBushDIY
      @BeatTheBushDIY  Před 3 lety

      50/60hz usually means to block out those signals due to the frequency of your local power. Locally here, it's 60Hz in California.

    • @BeatTheBushDIY
      @BeatTheBushDIY  Před 4 lety +2

      Ring is completely different because it sits near your doorbell. This thing is meant to be under the sun which may not work in the same place as the ring. I never had a ring so it'll be hard to compare.

      I just returned this camera after installing a few days ago. There is about 5-10 second latency from PIR activity to record.
      About 99% of all motion activity recorded on the most sensitive setting didn't have a usable footage.
      Ring does have security cameras and the 2nd gen stick up camera with solar becomes in 2 days.
      I do have a ring door camera and it's motion to record response is phenomenal, so I will likely go that route.

    • @BeatTheBush
      @BeatTheBush Před 4 lety

      You might have a lot of movement in the field of view which causes the camera to constant be turned on. Perhaps adjust it to be less sensitive or move the view to something that moves less. Trees tend to move more with the wind.

    • @BeatTheBushDIY
      @BeatTheBushDIY  Před 3 lety

      I didn't. It powered on and it's supposed to top up with the solar panels. This is not meant to turn on at all times and on only intermittently with movement.

    I have installed the sim card correctly (I have already tried two different cards), I have turned it on and off several times and even reset the camera, but the mobile application cannot to find the device.
    Could you help me?

    Sorry guys, watched different reviews, bought the camera and what a disaster. Save your money if you are a potential buyer. This camera disappoints on every level it isn't funny. It gives a great shot if objects are still or a bug crawls across the lens. I can pull into my driveway, exit the vehicle and enter the house, it records no movement, only the vehicle. Moving objects pixalate. If you are a thief and see a Soliom camera in use, steal everything, the owner deserves it.....lol
    Forget how to use it, what SD cards and applications, I want to know who called this a security camera. I'm hitting up every CZcams account that reviewed this camera to save someone else a big waste of time and resources.

    Just bought this on Amazon, and it didn’t come with the screwdriver. It does include 2 different sized Allen wrench to tighten the solar wings and mounting bracket.🤠 SD card does not come with it, so order one also, if you buy it on Amazon. Don’t forget to format the SD card before you install it...instructions on how to do that are in the camera manual.😳

      It might be doing some tricky thing where there is a single SSID for the wifi which I have not seen before. Usually it would be SSID for 2.4GHz and SSID_5G for 5GHz. If they combined it, you may want to go in your router settings to specifically have different SSIDs for each band.

      New frontier routers have a new option in their configuration that blends the 2 and gives you 5 ghz if available or 2.4 if not. I forget what the setting is called but I remember it had a good description telling you that’s what the option was for.
