ieGeek 2K Solar Security Camera Outdoor Wireless with Color Night Vision - Battery Operated Security Camera,2.4G WiFi Home CCTV Camera System,Human Motion Detect,Siren,2-way Audio,Video Record,IP65

The media could not be loaded. After weeks of research, decided that this was the cctv camera for me to cover the front of my house. I didn't want to drill a hole right through my brickwork to have a permanently wired camera for various reasons especially if I wanted to move the camera at a later date. This proved the right thing to do...Arrived within 72 hours of ordering. Out of the box, the camera is smaller than expected but in a good way, and quality is good, not plasticky. Charged overnight, installed 128gb micro SD card and set up on the downloaded app, all very easy to do.Up on my ladder, held the camera and viewed the image and wifi signal strength on my phone to check positioning. I replaced the enclosed rawl plugs and screws for sturdier an longer ones. Once camera positioned, then installed the solar panel, again, using uprated screws and rawl-plugs than those supplied. Tidied the excess cable from the solar panel and cable-tied it to the bracket to give a neat finish. All straight forward but it helps having somebody down the ladder checking camera positioning and neatness of cables etc. from the ground.After a couple of days, found that the motion detection lag meant the camera was mainly recording the back of visitors as they were leaving and not approaching the property. Also, due to the positioning of my router and thickness of walls I had only about 50% wifi signal strength. Doing research, found that lower power cameras (such as this battery powered one) have a tendency to have detection lag. So, decided to position the camera nearer to my front door and therefore router, even though this meant the angle of coverage wasn't as good as I wanted but still covered all the areas I needed it to.So, on Christmas Eve, up the ladder I went, took the camera and solar panel down and re-installed it, again using upgraded plugs and screws. At this point I was glad I hadn't had to drill through an external wall! It was when I installed the solar panel again that the plastic rotating nut which tightens the panel to the bracket broke. I've tried to show in this in the video. I ended up up having to glue the plastic nut to the screw thread (not the panel itself) to be able to tighten it, I'll have to replace the nut if I ever move the panel again as it won't survive another move. Now have improved wifi signal strength (around 75%) and much improved motion detection.Couple of other points that may be of use:-You can switch the image quality from SD to HD; you can see from my day and night screen grabs how much clearer HD is but of course uses more battery.I've had to position the camera facing the sun and at times there is noticeable lens flare as the lens-hood on the camera is too small.When the battery is being charged by the solar panel, there is an indicator on the app that shows this. Even though we've had storm Bella and had the shortest day of the year, the camera is still fully 100% charged.I did contact Amazon about my faulty plastic nut and they were brilliant in resolving this for me over a web-chat.Overall, really pleased with the whole camera, installation and quality and the way Amazon dealt with the query. 4.5 out of 5 really but hey...it's Christmas so 5 stars it is!

Have been using this for just over a week now. It was very east to set up.The app is great with plenty of features. The human detection works a treat and so does the zoning option. Notifications are promp too.Picture quality is superb day and night with the built-in light giving full colour night mode. The built in siren is loud and volume is customisable. The option to talk to someone through the camera is a nice feature too.The item itself is quite compact and the solar panel works amazingly well keeping the battery topped up to 100% most of the time.I installed a 32gb card in the camera expecting this to run out but found that the recordings are well compressed and take very little room.All in all I am very happy with the camera, solar panel and app.

My first impressions of this product are very positive. Solid construction, good mounts and sturdy feel. The packaging often gives you the indicator of what to expect and this was also nicely put together. I tried another more well known brand before this but ended up sending it back. The night vision with this is much better, as is the breadth of view. Motion detection in daylight is spot on and very quick to alert. At night it has a slight delay but I think that is caused by my security light causing the night vision to flip from using the IR sensor. I am still tweaking the settings for this because I'd like to capture the foxes and badgers activity if possible. The battery still shows as 100% even after probably 30-ish triggers, several live views and various changes so I am hopeful that it will last for months. The solar panel will help with that too. The app is pretty good with only a brief delay in connecting to the camera for viewing purposes. I had a small problem with the firmware update at the start where the process appeared to freeze half way through but clicking back to the previous screen and then tapping the update button again and it went through just fine. A decent user guide too. Initial charging of the internal battery took about 3.5 hours, until the blue light came on, so shorter than expected. I have no hesitation in recommending it at this stage and will update this review after a period of use.

Purchased because of many other positive reviews and I totally agree with them.As always with Amazon super fast and convenient delivery,Nice quality feel to all the components supplied and come with all that’s needed to have it installed and working in a very short time .The app needed was simple to download and not to intrusive with information required.This purchase had a lower price that the white option I would have preferred (a more visible presence))Operating it from anywhere in the world is going to be very reassuring.Thank you ieGeek and Amazon

This the second camera of this type I have purchased. The quality of the image is excellent day and night with added bonus of a light so nighttime images are in colour. With a SIM card (not supplied) it gives a history you can refer back to incidents months ago. The navigation around the system is very good allowing you to go to different functions without going back to the Home Screen. The solar panels charge the camera quickly and even though where my panels are located they get very little sun in the winter months they seldom need to be topped up manually. The motion detection is good with the option to add human recognition separately. The system also allows you to suspend motion detection from areas where motion detection is not required for example a bush or tree that can cause a false alert in windy weather. As a result the number of false alarms is significantly reduced in comparison with other cameras I have had from other companies. In addition the Customer Support is easy to access and if a problem arises they give their all to resolve it
