ARCCTV Solar Security Camera Outdoor Wireless with NVR Base Station

for the price, this is pretty good.

you're battery life is going to vary depending on how much sun exposure your getting, I've had my up for 4 days and the batteries are all about half drained so I'm thinking of giving each one a external solar panel because I have a lot of overcast where they are set up. But the cameras have usb charging and I found 5wat usb-c solar panels for 12$ each so I think that will allow them to run indefinitely.

video quality is great, the motion and human detection allows you to save a ton on storage and easily search through footage

setup was easy, no cables, just turn the cameras on and pair the server to the app. The signal is stronger then i expected, it's even going through a brick wall.

After overcoming a little difficulty with the pairing process persistence prevailed and I was able to pair and activate the cameras. They should be installed in a way that allows easy access because the cameras may sometimes require a manual recharge from an AC adapter and the AC charging was requires for each camera before placement in a solar receptive area. Once that was done there has been no problem.

5 stars works great even in low light areas great quality the app is very easy to use and the cameras themselves are easy to install, motion detection is very sensitive and its battery life is very good

These cameras provide excellent value and functionality with a clear picture (4MP) and an option for a light and color pictures at night instead of the standard infrared. They are solid construction and the solar panel keeps them charged without having to take them down or wiring to a power source. The 4 Cameras and a base station with a single SIM card means the monthly subscription for cloud recording is optional (I chose not to pay for this.) I did buy the AI service on the main front driveway camera that provides additional notifications and descriptions of events as people and vehicles approach the house. It is a good optional addition but the AI recognition could (and I hope will) improve over time. Overall I am very happy with these cameras that replaced an older Arlo system that was EOL.

Too hard for me to figure out, spent hours trying to make work, connectivity issues, bought another brand, had it set up in minutes, get the 2.4gand 5g dual capability, you'll be Happier!!!

I do like these outdoor cameras. They have a good quality picture and clear night vision and built in solar panels for continuous charged battery life, which is one of the main reasons I chose these cameras over others. I gave three stars because the camera lags in recording so if something happens under 5-6 seconds the camera will not pick it up. (They won't be picking up any fast-flying UFOs. LOL!) And the recording turns off after about 10-15 seconds even with continued movement. Sometimes recording will start again as a different recording, but only sometimes. An example: I was on my patio the other morning with my dogs so there was continuous movement. The camera picked up 2 short videos of this. All off a sudden a huge hawk swooped down and past only feet from my head. I went to see this on my camera only to find that the recording had already stopped before this happened and because the hawk was only within camera view for less than 5-6 seconds, the camera didn't restart. How disappointing! There are also times that the camera has captured wolves, fox, or raccoons and because the camera turns off so soon it's never known what they do or where they go. This could be a safety concern as I come home from work VERY late (midnight to 2:00am). If someone or something attacked me during the time after the camera stops recording from my garage to my door it would not be captured. And we would have your typical unsolved mystery! I do like that I can get alerts on my phone when movement is captured, but because recording starts and stops often, I get many movement alerts. I didn't return the cameras because by the time the weather was warm enough to install them the return time had expired.

Very easy to set up. Great quality.

Offline setup lacks instructions, and does require strong up online before then going offline. This is true for each device you want to use the app on even after initial setup.

"Downloading" from local storage also requires an internet connection to no apparent reason, so just pop the micro sd card out and put it in a reader for your laptop.

It works for remote while you're away recording, but it is clunky.
