ieGeek Security Cameras Wireless Outdoor, 2K 3MP Battery Powered WiFi Security Camera with Spotlight & Siren Alarm, 2-Way Audio, Color Night Vision, AI Detection for Home Security, Works with Alexa

update: It’s been about a month now, and I’ve noticed a few issues that made me hold off from buying more of this same brand/model.First of all, I noticed it was ignoring cars and animals - but that was a quick fix, once I realized I needed to turn off human detection day/night in the settings for each camera. I assumed human detection meant “do you also want to watch out for humans?” but it actually means “do you only want to watch for humanoids?” so disabling that fixed it & I found my first skunk.But that said, the motion detection is spotty, even when I have max sensitivity turned up and adaptive sensitivity turned off (so multiple exposures won’t reduce its triggers). Sometimes it misses a flock or large birds walking 10’ away. Sometimes it doesn’t pick me or other people up until we’re already in the middle of the frame.I have it pointed at a large meadow to capture any predators stalking our fowl, but it can’t even see our birds or dog in the meadow 30’ away, completely clear, and it’s not because the grass is too high or the birds are too small. Because the dog is huge. If there was a bear 30’ away, we’d never know.I sat here this morning and watched the flock come within 20’ and finally 10’ out of that field toward the camera, cranked up to max sensitivity in broad daylight, zero cover, and it didn’t pick up a thing. Can’t see turkeys, geese, or dogs, let alone chickens.Sometimes it picks up the chickens, but it seems almost arbitrary - I think it may relate to how fast something is moving? So anything creeping cautiously around doesn’t get seen at all. Including me before I’ve had my coffee; I slide right under its radar, as though it had mythical t-rex vision. This is not helpful if you’re trying to detect creatures that are slowly sneaking! Foxes, raccoons, skunks, ninjas…I say it’s arbitrary because it often misses frenzied movement right in the chicken yard, even if it hasn’t recently been triggered, but sometimes detects the faintest movement through wire outside of the chicken yard in the shade! It’s thus been tough to adapt to its limitations. And tough to trust, which defeats the purpose to a large extent. This sort of monitoring is intended to buy you peace of mind but when it’s so unreliable, it may lead to damning false reassurances that could cost the lives of your livestock. Because of this, I’ll keep shopping for another project for the next batch of cameras.original: Have been using the 2 solar cameras for a week now. Install was turnkey, the app seems to work well, battery life is impressive & the image quality is fantastic. I love that the app allows for easy screenshots & motion settings are very customizable. Sensitivity seems good, from numerous tests, haven’t noticed it missing any human activity - though it doesn’t always notice birds at dusk. I may have had my sensitivity too low.Worth noting is that AI detection is an additional subscriber service, but it’s a few bucks a month & includes extended cloud storage if you want that. So far, I’m very happy with the free 6s/vid cloud storage included with purchase & the microsd slot. You will need to buy microSDs. I got 2 from Amazon Basics on a killer deal & have been pleased with that to date (will update this review if anything changes). Just remember to format the cards before trying to record.Conveniently, you can do that through the app, but you’ll need to go to “History” to access video recordings first to get the prompt to format remotely.Night vision is reasonably good. There’s a light on the camera itself, which helps, if needed, but you know, it’s not a slam dunk. Night video is a challenge even with a very high end professional commercial camera for production work, so the quality of this is about as good as you could ask for without shelling out several hundred bucks, and even then; I don’t think the quality would be much better. I’ve worked in the camera industry for a long time, have been spoiled with high end equipment, and this still meets my standards & expectations, for whatever that’s worth. The long & short is, if you want a better image, add more lights. Security lights.There’s a very nice feature with the app that tells you the wifi signal strength at the location before you install the camera, and likewise tells you the strength in realtime at any given moment you’re accessing it remotely.In general, I’ve seen low latency & moderate lag (it does take about ~5 seconds to load a live view) but this may have more to do with ISP/location & less to do with the camera itself. Overall, I did a lot of research before picking this one and fortunately it seems to have been worth the time.Lastly, I can’t comment on the efficacy of the weather sealing yet as we haven’t had any harsh weather since the install. Will wait to see how it handles rain & snow before ordering more. I guess that will be an update for later, ir I remember…

Let me start first with... you MUST use 2.4g wi-fi for this product. Also, you MUST FULLY charge the camera for 8 - 10 hours BEFORE you use it (or the battery will drain fast over and over again). I first installed it using 5g wi-fi, and for a month it would continue disconnect from the wi-fi. The picture and video was clear, but every other day or so it would disconnect from the wi-fi. I even bought a wi-fi extender because the camera said I had a "weak wi-fi signal" and I thought that would solve the problem, but it didn't. Every couple of days I would have to take the camera down, reconnect it, charge it... I tried everything. I was finally going to return it and the last time I tried to reconnect, the camera gave me an alert to use 2.4g and NOT 5g. Once I reconnected it using 2.4g, it absolutely worked perfectly! Battery stays charged, picture and video are clear, and it's been working great.

I'm a 60-year-old woman who easily installed these cameras on my front and back porches. I love the app with all the features you need to operate, maintain, and of course View your videos. Video quality is very good, even at night. The speaker function is fun with the squatters (animals) :) & pets. The alarm is LOUD! Fortunately haven't had to use, just tested.I also purchased and installed the solar panels so no worry about charging. I've had these for a year and a half, absolutely no issues. So comforting to have when you're away from home traveling. I plan to purchase a couple cameras for home interior now. Highly recommend.

I installed three of these units around the outside of my home. Not for security reasons but to watch wildlife. Two I bought the units with the solar panel included and one I bought an aftermarket panel. The video and audio from the units is clear. IYouTube have to download the camera app to install it. But that was easy. I was able to connect the units to Alexa so I can watch the feed from my Echo show.The motion detection is fair. The moving object needs to be large for it to record. Which doesn’t work well for small animals. Unfortunately the unit will trigger by bugs and moving tree limbs too. So it is a trade off. The solar panels that came with the unit are pretty small the aftermarket panel I bought is larger. I would recommend buying the camera and then getting the seperate solar panels. The seperate panels plugged right into the camera. The battery on the camera with the larger solar panel is better.

Very good quality the camera records well and is very easy to connect to any device either Android or iPhone it is also very intuitive and guides you on how to connect it and has a lot of time to return if it has any 10/10 problem to this product I recommend it for houses or any place where they want to put it.Muy buena calidad, la cámara graba bien y es muy fácil de conectar a cualquier dispositivo, ya sea Android o iPhone, también es muy intuitiva y te guía sobre cómo conectarlo y tiene mucho tiempo para devolverlo si tiene algún problema 10/10 con este producto, lo recomiendo para casas o cualquier lugar donde quieran ponerlo.
