WOOLINK 4MP Solar Camera Outdoor Wireless, 2.5K Pan/Tilt Rechargeable Battery Powered Camera, 2.4GHz WiFi for Home Security, Motion Detection, 2-Way Talk, Color Night Vision, Cloud/SD

My first impression of this wireless solar camera (I have two installed) wasn't great. The home screen doesn't show a live view. Instead, you see a static snapshot with the camera in "standby" status. Click on the view and camera wakes up after a few seconds and then shows a live view. The default resolution is standard but you can click to change to HD mode. I contacted support (via chat) to ask if I was missing something and could just default the camera to live view? The answer is No. The reason (which makes perfect sense) is that a constant live view would drain the solar-charged battery. Instead, the camera uses always-on-detection in order to capture video when activated. Although it wasn't obvious at first, this is a brilliant design! Let me back up a second to explain. The fact that this camera doesn't require external power is a HUGE benefit. There was no way I was going to pay someone three times the cost of the unit to wire them up to power. All I had to do was mount these where I wanted. Quick and easy. I have one camera installed near the front door and a second overlooking the driveway. All I really care about is when a subject's motion triggers the camera. I want that recorded so I can review who or what was moving in the monitored area and when. And that's precisely what this camera does. It's beautiful, actually. I have a 75GB SD card installed and the camera is set to overwrite when it's full (which, at the current rate, will take at least a month). Every morning I load up the SAVED view and it shows me the most recent motion captured by the unit. After that plays the camera starts over at the earliest recording for that date and continues playing whatever it captured in order of recording. Which is EXACTLY what I want to know -- what moved to activate the camera and when. You can slow down or speed up the playback, and there's a timeline where you can choose what to review on that date or any previous date. I LOVE IT! The app is user-friendly and works perfectly. The settings are plentiful and effective. I've found that setting motion sensitivity to the second-most-sensitive position works best. The only thing I'd like to do, that I cannot, is default the recordings to HD. I asked support about this and the answer was, like before, this was done to minimize battery drain. Still, I would like the option. I could always turn it off if the camera was regularly running out of steam. Another missing feature is that the camera won't "follow" a moving target. That might be a turn-off for some people, esp. if you need the camera to cover a particularly wide field of view. In my case, it's a non-issue. All in all this is a great security camera at a great price. Very glad I purchased it and highly recommend it for those looking for an inexpensive (and painless ) installation option.

I was having trespassing issues so i purchased two of these.This camera for cost is awesome.I have purchased other systems for more and this camera is impressive. Very clear picture, easy to use, the alarm system works very well and alerts you quick. Nice being able to use sd card to record. The battery life is very long I played around with it for hours didn’t drop below 70% by next afternoon fully charged. I highly recommend this camera if you are looking for best bang for your money.
