First Impressions – Great for the Price Point
Edit:After more time has passed, I’m increasing my rating. this thing is a solid camera option at a reasonable price. I adjusted some settings and the motion detection seems to be working well now. We have a lot of wildlife, including deer, that are on the property every night. It’s yet to trigger for animals or cars, so seems like the humanoid detection works well. It has triggered for a hanging planter I have near the camera when it gets windy and the planter swings into the area. In fairness, it is a round planter that could resemble a head shape, so no really complaint there. I could just move the planter but it’s rare that it triggers from it. The wind has to really be strong.**** Original belowI’ve only had the camera up for a couple of days. Will modify the review if any changes are noted over time.The camera came well packaged and with nice installation guide stickers that were very helpful making it much easier to install. Set up was fairly easy although I had some trouble getting the camera to read the QR code on my Galaxy ZFold 3 with the screen open. I had to close the large display and it read it nearly instantly from the small display. Setting it up took a little longer than actually hanging the camera and the solar panel. The power and reset buttons near the micro SD card slot are marked as to what they are, but hard to see which is which. I had to refer the the picture on the user manual as I just couldn’t make out the tiny white on white markings. If you have good vision, maybe that won’t be an issue.The picture quality is very clear, even at night without the led lights or other outside lights on. My only complaint is motion detection so far seems a bit hit or miss. It spotted me fine leaving my house, but not when I came home. I do walk toward the camera from where I park, which the manual indicates it won’t pick up, but eventually I turn and I’m at an angle to the camera. It doesnt always pick up that movement, unfortunately. That’s the likely pathway of whatever serial killer would be coming to my house. However, there’s no other angle I could place the camera and still pick up that area.So far, no animals or cars have been picked up by the motion detector, which is a pro and a con. It’s a pro because with all the creatures around me, notifications would go off all the time. It’s a con because I also want to see the cute animals like hogs and coyotes (and actual cute animals) that often come around. I wish there was a setting to record motion but only notify if a “humanoid” is detected.So far, the battery has been impressive and the included solar panel seems to charge it right back up in the morning. No complaints there. I’m in a rural area, so there aren’t a lot of triggers which may prolong that battery life compared to other users. That said, since it’s a new device, we’ve been checking the live view a lot and such.It was also fairly easy to connect to my Google home environment and share the camera with others in my household. For some reason though, I had to reset my password as it kept saying my credentials were wrong. This was immediately following setting up my account and logging in fine through the CloudEdge app. Not a big deal, but caused a bit of WTF during set up.Cloud storage is very affordable for this device starting at about $2.99/mo. for the lowest plan at the time of this posting. A full year of 7 day overwriting cloud storage is only $50 if paid for a full year. You are not required to use for storage though. The camera did have a micro SD slot (supporting up to 128GB card, only).As mentioned, I do wish there were different motion detection features. I’d rate this 5 stars if I were more confident in the motion detection. I’m going to try turning the sensitivity up from the default for a while and see how that goes.

Good camera but not the app, ||Update, Feb 26, 2024= Get the Cloud Edge app
My grandparents wanted this camera, it is good, but they call me a lot when the notifications just stop, or when the video recording does not play, even when the card is new and only used 1G out of 16, The camera itself is awesome, but the app needs work, it is slow to work with even with encryption off, it takes like 40sec to just view a video that is like 15sec long, sometimes it don’t play at all but just shows a picture. The worst part is anyone can delete the camera, which will require you to redo the steps to get it running, it is soooo easy to delete the camera and change settings for someone who does not have the complete control profile. But other than the app, the camera itself is awesome, and clear with good view angles, good night vision, and easy installation, I just wish the app was better.———————————————————————————————–/ / / \Update, Feb 26, 2024///: / / /The camera itself is still good, and the base app still is not good, However, Their customer service is amazing with them giving me suggestions on what to do, they asked to change the SD card, this did not work, but I can see how it would help some people, then they ask me to get the (Cloud Edge) app instead, this is soooo much better, it is faster and I can see my recording.Note, for my experience of using Cloud Edge these past months, it shows that this app is better, but it is still slow when getting the history when you are away, at least I can get it with this app, which is way better than before where I could not get anything, the main video works better as it is just faster with Cloud Edge, and my grandparents all agreed on that.Overall, if you are having connection problems, check the SD card, try the Cloud Edge app, or call customer support to get your device checked for free. We are more happy with the Cloud Edge app, so we will rate this better due to the amazing help from Anran to fix the issue.

Customer Support
I had ordered this camera in July not really sure what happened I just know that it wouldn’t connect anymore. I decided to call the company directly and they was amazing asked couple questions about the camera I told them what it was long story short they had me a new one within 4 days I recommend this camera company I also have multiple cameras from them great build quality also and great 4k pictures and videos

Telecamera esterna funzionale dal ottimo design con connessione wi-fi potente che si controlla semplicemente con l’app. Ho trovato sia molto semplice da istallare con buona qualità per il controllo perimetrale. La rotazione a 360° permette una visione ampia. Il pannello solare carica e mantiene a sufficienza la batteria. Ogni tanto la carico tramite il cavo in dotazione. Trovo molto utili le funzioni: audio, luce notturna, sirena, ecc e la compatibilità con Alexa. Amazon ok.Un prodotto che consiglio vivamente

Je possède déjà 4 caméra différentes solaires Anran … j’en suis très content pour surveiller ma seconde résidence….par ailleurs je viens d’acheter pour 120 euros une unité qui fournit du courant à mon routeur wifi 4G en cas de panne électrique pendant 3 h … donc je vois tout ce qui pourrait se passer …

Die Überwachungskamera überzeugt auf ganzer Linie. Sie erfüllt ihre Aufgaben zuverlässig und liefert tolle Aufnahmen. Sehr empfehlenswert!
