Surprisingly awesome
I was not expecting to love this camera. Having the ability to pan while being solar worried me that power consumption would be an issue. I tested the camera by getting it to a full charge and then removing the solar panel entirely. With active storage to a 128 GB micro sd card, it was able to have perform motion capture with audio to disk for 2.5 days (having the camera facing our back door and taking the dog to and from the back yard throughout the day). The quality of audio and video is awesome, and the infrared LEDs are brighter than cameras I’ve had in the past. I would expect clarity up to 30 feet in the dark, but not more than that (easily supplemented by an infrared spotlight to span a long driveway in my case). Setup was super easy using your cellphone with a QR code scan by your phone, and then using the camera scanning a similar QR code that pops up on your phone. The whole activation took about 2 minutes. There is a second Type-C USB connector for charging in-house, or supplementing if you have another solar panel ramped down to 5V. I was also pleasantly surprised to see how well the housing held up under heavy rain. In lieu of putting it under an eave, I place it between two of the joists of our pergola. Lastly, and best of all, I went into my existing Reolink NVR PoE setup and clicked rescan after making sure the new solar camera was on the same network, and it showed right up. Just be aware, you will not get rolling video to disk the way you do with the PoE, but it is arguably better. Not only does the motion capture work well, but the snippet are somehow labeled with a paw when animals are detected. A raccoon showed up on our porch, and a little paw icon was stamped on the video snippet and in the video samples that show up in the playback tool, which is also available through the NVR interface. If you have a PoE solution watching the perimeter of your home, parking one of these things high in a tree as a failsafe would be a great idea for additional peace-of-mind. Will be buying a few more in the coming months. See the attached screenshot from the phone interface (black and white because infrared was active). Note the raccoon going toward my pool and the paw icon in the highlighted clip. The next two clips were me going out the backdoor (no animals present). Great job, Reolink.

Great quality video and pictures
These outdoor solar powered wireless security cameras are Great. These cameras are a bit different when it comes to some of the other solar powered wireless security cameras as they will work on both wireless networks of 2.4 and 5GHZ wireless bands which helps a lot with the triggers and distance if you have them a little bit away from your router. They get really good picture quality video quality is phenomenal, has great motion detection night vision is really Great. Once they are charged up and then mounted the solar panel keeps them charged real well. The other security cameras that I have dropped about 3% one time during a really bad storm as it was really dark, then these did not drop any battery percentage they stated 100% at all times during the day when the storm was going and the sun wasn’t out as well as at night time when it was extremely dark as the storm was passing on. I have them mounted at a pretty decent distance from my router as my house is fairly old there’s only one Network location in my home and it is in my bedroom which is in the back of the house these cameras are all the way in the front and they are constantly getting 100% wireless connection. They are tried and true weatherproofed we had a pretty good snowstorm / ice storm not long after I got them where we got about 8 in of snow and about 2 inches of ice. They have some really good settings for the motion you can block out areas that you do not want the motion to trigger a recording, you can rotate the cameras however you want them to get some really good angles anywhere you need them in your yard or wherever you decide to mount them. Good night vision is really good, they have people and animal detection you can set it to where they will not trigger false recordings if you have children that play in the backyard and the cameras are there or a dog that you don’t want to trigger a false event as well, among several other settings which are great. I use SD cards in the cameras that I have they will take up to a 128 GB SD card. Or you can use their cloud service of course you have to pay extra for so I opted out of that. It can rewrite over the SD cards once they get full. Or you can format them yourselves directly from the app for The cameras.

its a great camera.
Cliente de Kindle –
Es una muy buena cámara, eso sàla ubicación es muy importante para que tenga la suficiente exposición al sol, yo la coloqué en el tubo de la mufa de la luz eléctrica usando unas abrazaderas metálicas y la baterÃÂa nunca se le acaba además de que tengo una vista completa de todo el alrededor.
Contras:
– Me falla la memoria micro SD, le puse una de 16 GB, los primeros videos si los graba bien después los siguientes videos parece que se corrompen.
– Al ser solar, la cámara se activa usando el sistema PIR por lo que detecta mejor a los objetos que pasan de lado de la cámara y solo graba máximo 30 segundos lo que me parece muy poco, deberÃÂa grabar hasta que se acabe el movimiento.
Excelente cámara, la recomiendo.

We have this in a location removed from the house and it works so well. Easy to setup and the images are great day and night. This is the third Reolink camera I have purchased and all are super great.
