have quite a bit of experience with CCTV systems. I have set up 2 complete CCTV systems with NVRs in different locations and used all sorts of cameras, some POE wired, some BNC and coax cable systems and a number of wired wifi cameras connected to the systems via the Onvif protocol are. I think I have reasonable knowledge and judgment regarding build and image quality, poor light performance and ease of use etc. Item came in a nicely presented box complete with camera, solar panel (with grommet cable), bracket, separate charging cable, Instructions, mounting template, screws and dowels. Quick summary: BENEFITS: Very nice build quality Solar powered no power source required Allowing for multiple mounting options/locations. Quite a long cable on the solar panel (about 2.5 meters) The initialization process was easy The phone app (CloudEdge) really works with lots of options Notifications can be silenced for an hour or more (in case of false activations caused by wind or rain) Compact size Decent 1080P HD picture quality Wide field of view Siren & light can be selected independently Pan & Tit works very well via the app Solar panel keeps the battery full even in the UK winter sun microSD card can be used instead of paying for the cloud service You are not constantly hassled to sign up to the cloud service Good night vision. CONS: NOT ZOOM which can only be achieved by pinching the phone screen WiFi connection can be a bit flaky at times Lens (outside the lens) suffers from condensation when the weather freezes Lens can suffer from refraction when facing another infrared light/camera Solar panel cable is Shaped in limiting conformation Not ONVIF compatible Infrared may attract flies/small bugs in summer (but this is a common problem with all cameras)
