Mine works great ,,and it’s about a 111 feet away from my apt...plus what I love is that you can be across town (any where ,where there’s wifi)and still see what’s going on at your home..
Great review, I got the same camera and love it. Can I add that I found if I click the “ speed “ button and selecting slow I was able to “fine tune “ the camera frame I wanted as it went slower and not so much “ increments “ 🤓 great video thank you thank you 🙏🏻
can some one tell me why my motion detector is not sending message to my phone first it was working excellent now it stops plus i placed 64 gb sd card but i don't see it is recording it says no memory card
Does this camera give you video playback of people walking by the motion sensor?, as well as floodlights?, do the lights come on when it detects motion?
Great video! What happens when sd card storage is full? Can you remotely erase it or does the camera do it itself? Or it simply stops recording? Can its batteries last a ehole night if recording non stop? Did you play with batteries' capacity? To put larger mAh batteries for example?
It will loop record but I haven't gotten there yet on the 32gb card I've installed. I have actually taken out one of the battery since it is always 100% fully charged and it is still always at 100%.
Go to settings and look for format but you can save a video and pictures first than format the sd card to a fresh new SD card it’s a great camera so much you can do with this camera I love mine
Quick question does it needs port forward or just internet access ? i mean if i get a 4g sim and then doing a hotspot to the camera and connect the camera to it should work ?
App works without port forwarding. I can connect to the camera while out of town. Of course camera needs internet access. A tunnel is created when you use the app to login into your account. From there you can view you cameras. Live view. Settings. And stored events. Cloud or memory card.
Gracias por el video, muy completo. Me gustaría saber si aún tienes esa cámara y que tal se ha comportado en este tiempo. ¿Has tenido que cambiar las baterías? Saludos y gracias
So if you are just using the SD card would you have to remove it from the camera or can it be viewed from your computer without taking out the card? I wouldn't be wanting to drag out my ladder every day to check out the recordings. Thanks. Great review.
How long does it record on the sd card and does it loop record? i do not have WiFi can it be used like on a cabin where's there is no WiFi. You forgot to say that
I don't know how long it will record. It hasn't even recorded 1gb of the 32 gb card and I've had it for ever since the video. This is a wifi security camera so it will need wifi :) You will need a cellular camera if your cabin does not have wifi.
Will cars passing by or neighborhood walkers passing by my driveway trigger the active alerts to come on? I don't want an alert to notify me everytime a walker, or vehicle passes by the camera. Is there a way to control its sensitivity??
These are cool but my dad wants video playing all the time on the TV at his home, does anyone have suggestions how we can make that happen with wireless solar powered cameras ??
If you have an outside flood light that comes on can you place that over the camera area so that the sensors think it's daylight all the time and you can work with that instead of the infrared?
Are the batteries AA size? Or AAA? I want to get backup batteries. I just ordered this camera. Thought I would have no problem Google the battery size but was I wrong so many out there. Thanks in advance.

You will need wifi for this camera. You can either set up wifi to reach the camera or go with a cellular camera. czcams.com/video/M4AoePC5OpE/video.html
it is always better to use the same mah size batteries when discharging and charging which is what this solar panel will do if you mix and match them in parallel if that is what you are asking. It will work if you mix them but I would either use all 2600mah or all 5000mah batts just to be safe.
While the solar panel provides reliable charging, the cameras performance may vary depending on the amount of sunlight available. During sunny days, no problems. However, during periods of limited sunlight or cloudy weather, the batteries may run out of charge if “woken up” constantly. Therefore, It's important to consider the weather conditions when relying solely on solar power. It does have micro usb charging so, plug it in on cloudy periods. I haven’t had any issues with just solar powered year round.

I have 4 of these cameras 🎥 and they are simply awsome for $39,99 cad a year I have unlimited cloud service for all my cameras !

Do they make one that uses cell phone network instead of wifi ?? I don't have wifi at my storage building.

have the camera automatic delete videos after one week

While the solar panel provides reliable charging, the cameras performance may vary depending on the amount of sunlight available. During sunny days, no problems.
