AOSUSolar Security Camera Wireless Outdoor System, 3K/5MP Battery Powered WiFi Camera for Home Security, Panoramic PTZ, Auto Tracking, Human/Vehicle Detection, Night Vision, Spotlights, 2-Way Talk

The cameras are great...THE DELIVERY WAS AWFUL!First, Amazon left the package of 2 cameras on the ground at the base of the mailbox, on the street, in plain view!! How moronic is that!! What's worse is that the package would fit inside the mailbox! (big mailbox)CAMERAS - Originally, we purchased the Aosu video doorbell, and the images are so great that we decided to buy these compact solar human motion tracking cameras. They did not disappoint. They have very sharp and clear images. They are easy to set up and easy to install. They are self-charging via solar panels that are included and, so far, have performed very well.DOWNSIDE - Aosu offers Cloud Video Backup services that are reasonably priced for one or two devices. Back-up for more than two devices, and the cost is outrageous! The plans DISCOURAGE buying several Aosu devices. There is no incentive to back up more than two devices. At present, we have three video doorbell devices and four cameras. So, Asou offers plans for up to five cameras for $269.00 annually, which offers minimal, if any, quantity cost reduction. There is no plan for seven cameras. Aosu must take a hard look and drastically revamp this greedy cloud storage cost.BOTTOM LINE - the cameras and video doorbell products are good, but the cloud storage fees are greedily overpriced.

This camera is a pretty amazing piece of technology. We installed one on back of the house and the front. The solar panels are well made from solid material, and with consistent triggering (we live on a busy street), the battery has not dropped below 90%. When motion is triggered, the camera tracks the triggering offender until it is no longer visible. The tracking AI is a pretty cool technology, the only problem (minor annoyance) is that it can pick up the ripples from wind in the pool, so it likes to trigger often and film the waves. It can be managed in sensitivity settings, to minimize false triggering.. but every now and then… I still get a few, twenty second videos of a leaf floating in the pool. Overall, this is a great cost affordable camera that is a good value for the money… that’s rare in today’s business world

This camera has great video and sound quality, it's well worth the money spent! The camera was very easy to set up and connect with the app on my phone. It connected flawlessly with my WiFi and had a great signal while being out in the backyard at the chicken coop. The motion detection was great and would follow me wherever I walked in the area. I liked that there was a sensitivity setting for the covered area so I could control what objects triggered the alerts. The volume of the audio alert is loud and can also be adjusted to your preference. This camera is exactly what I needed for the security I was looking for. There was a problem with the SD card not being recognized right out of the box so I called tech support. They were very professional and talked me through some troubleshooting steps. When the troubleshooting didn't work they quickly offered a replacement camera that was shipped in a very timely matter and worked perfectly. I can't say enough about the courteous and professionalism of their tech support. They stayed in contact with me through the whole process and made sure I was satisfied. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a solar powered security camera.

These are the latest model and maybe there's some software programming to take into consideration with these vs. the previous model. I ordered the two pack - don't do that when they offer a single pack X 2, as you may get one that has issues and then you have to risk sending both back, even if one is great.The seller / manufacturer were quite helpful overall in addressing some concerns I had. These newer models have more bells and whistles like setting up a colored zone within the camera's field of view to reduce triggers. It mostly works.They have an automated voice you can adjust on the phone app, turning the volume down or off, along with the advertised human form tracking and nighttime spot light that turns on after dark. The voice is interesting I guess, "You have entered a high security zone..." or something like that. Male voice only.I notice that if a thief were to walk close to the walls of the house and beneath the cameras that these tend to lose their target and then return to the default position. Otherwise they spin all the way around as described in the listing, following their target.As for the issues... One of them seemed to have a dysfunction in distance detecting despite being set on 'far'. It's currently been relocated to my back patio where it can't fail to detect motion at a shorter distance. For a while it wasn't even sending push notifications to my phone to alert me of activity.Non specific to the one camera, these seem to be programmed to pick up and review possible intruders and then they start recording if they determine someone doesn't belong, i.e. they have entered the zone. So they may not seem to be working if trying to test them out - as I spent a lot of time doing this, only for them to actually be working afterall, you just can't tell. No tracking changes, no push notifications nothing. I guess they have AI onboard to determine whether to activate even though the camera is looking at the scene.They also have a very wide lens view even without rotating so when testing for movement detection and human tracking, having the camera placed along the side of the house for example didn't cause it to move at all because 'it didn't need to'.Inside the phone app that directly ties into the camera setup there's a carryover feature for capturing the panorama of the camera's range and to this day I don't know what it was intended to accomplish?I did find that the camera didn't operate correctly when setting up this panorama and then within the still image you can point the camera to a spot which becomes it's starting point prior to tracking motion, at least in the outgoing model. On the new model it seem to create a software conflict causing the camera not to detect anything. The solution was to simply delete the panorama and leave it empty or blank.On this newer model there is an additional setting in the menus where you can take a picture with the camera and that can be chosen as the default for it to return to after tracking. It also has a zone feature in that section.All in all I do like this brand and their cameras, especially how they can auto track / rotate to follow the intruder. They do come with a lower resolution setting and I can't tell if running at lower resolution is literally affecting the onboard recording to the SD card, or just how well it plays across my wifi router to my phone? I just leave it on the HD settings. You can also capture decent colored video at night, as mentioned in the description.One of the main reasons I went with this camera is that it does default to local storage on an SD card which means that if some saavy thief buys a wifi jammer, that it 'most likely' won't keep the camera from working and recording them. The only difference is that no push alert or live capture would be possible from the phone app.Installation is a bit trickier on this model as you have more flexibility but also a second mount to place for the solar panel. On the outgoing model it's an all in one and far quicker to setup. It is nice that the company supplies a sticker with the mounting holes to help with install. I will add here that the screws are the cheapest metal I've ever seen as the heads mushroom after installing them. Also, becareful not to overtighten as I managed to crack one of the plastic mounts when tightening the screw down.Due to my questioning the newer model I looked into returning, despite its updated features I opted to purchase two more cameras, but went with the previous models that were easier to install - no cabling concern either between panel and camera. That, and not wanting to chance another camera not seeming to work right.On the older model which also has the panorama feature that seemed buggy on this model, I also didn't see a need to use it as the camera despite not having a 'default' setting simply returns automatically to the last position it was in prior to detecting motion. This position can be manually adjusted inside the phone app using a panning mode. So again, not even sure what the panorama feature is good for? It seemed to be a legacy carryover to the latest model despite causing some kind of non detection glitch.I've had them up and covering all of the windows where someone might try to force their way in, and one on the corner of the garage that looks down on the car and anyone entering the driveway. I would recommend these as they are doing great after a month so far. Not having used it much, but the phone app also has a feature to display up to 4 cameras simultaneously, if that's of interest. Coupled with these cameras I had also installed the Ring doorbell, as sold locally - resulting in a bit more coverage when approaching the front door.Additionally, apart from installing PVC poles in windows and the sliding glass door, I found that Amazon sells a nifty latch mechanism that is screwed into the door jam and overlaps the edge of the door, when closed. I mounted it below the deadbolt as videos suggested this was the kick point. Very easy to install. There are several brands to choose from. I also replaced the very short door jam screws on the door hinges opting for the recommended 3" long screws to bolster that side of the door.Additional advice here - tie up the lead for the garage door opener around its assembly so a thief cannot grab it from outside the closed door.

This device is wonderful in that it will really let you know in real time who is at your door. We have the cameras in both front and back of the house, and you can hear and speak to the person you see. Although it is somewhat confusing to set up with multiple family members, it is possible to do which is what we have done; the tech support is 10 stars above excellent and 20 stars above in patience in working with us; my husband and I are blind which means my brother in law needs to have the ability to see the devices on his phone which we now have and more cameras to be added as we have multiple properties.
