The camera is intended for outdoor use. Its robust metal housing is specially designed for this. The camera does not need a socket, because a battery is installed and solar can also be used. This is important to know, and in individual cases it could mean that it cannot be used in the desired place. Without the camera being "paired" with a smartphone or tablet and of course using an APP that you have to download beforehand. nothing works. You can then use the smartphone to make many settings and explore the entire world of the surveillance camera, which is much more versatile than you initially suspected from the simple object. This can also get a bit annoying, especially if you really didn't want to spend so much time and insight into this thing. The images provided by the camera are very usable. The camera does not have a zoom, instead it is equipped with a "digital zoom", i.e. a software solution. If you use this option, the pictures quickly become horribly bad, which was to be expected. But actually the angle of view, as determined by the built-in lens, is just right and needs no improvement. The camera's image transmission also works without problems in low light, but then some noise can be seen, which is also not surprising. Overall, the camera performs its duties well and as expected.
