Review: Versatile & Affordable security camera well suited for my
home security - I have been using other ieGeek security cameras
for some time as their affordability and ease of setup, make them
a reasonably good choice for home surveillance. Recently, I
purchased this new ieGeek security camera which has combined many
desirable features such as, 360° Pan, Battery Camera, and Solar
Panel. I have installed it at the front of my house, and it sits
nicely under my first-floor window (I attach photos and a footage
from the Camera). Here's my brief review: 1. Affordable: Very
reasonable pricing 2. Easy Installation with Wireless
Connectivity: Straightforward setup process - Wireless
connectivity enables easy installation and flexibility in camera
placement without the constraints of wired connections. 3. Decent
Image Quality: While not on par with high-end security cameras,
IeGeek camera offers satisfactory image quality for home security
/ monitoring. 4. Remote Viewing: Ability to remotely access
camera feeds via a mobile app is a significant advantage to keep
an eye on your home from anywhere with an internet connection. 5.
Solar-Powered: Solar panel allows for continuous operation
without the need for frequent battery replacements or manual
recharging. 6. 360° Pan: Ability to pan 360 degrees provides
extensive coverage, allowing to monitor a wide area without the
need for multiple cameras. This feature enhances the camera's
versatility and effectiveness in home monitoring. Keeping in view
it’s price range, please do not expect advanced features such as
auto pan, tilt, and zoom functionality. Overall, I consider the
ieGeek Solar Security Camera as a versatile security camera well
suited for my home security.
Review: Quality Camera - Summary The camera is the next step in
quality from ieGeek. I have had a few ieGeek camera's and this
one is by far the best one so far. Sharp and quick connectivity
to Wifi are the top stand out features. Packaging & Installation
The camera's come in a nice neat box and the packaging is at a
good standard. Everything is properly sealed. The box comes with
2 seperate cameras, bear in mind you would have to install them
separately. The package comes with the camera itself, solar
panel, USB C to C charging cable(no block for socket) and screws,
the screws are separate from the solar panel installation to the
camera installation. You will need a size 6 drill bit for these
particular screws and possibly a masonry drill bit if your
drilling on wall. All together you will need to drill 5 holes if
you want to install both the solar panel and the camera. If you
plan to charge the camera and not install the solar panel then
you need to drill 2 holes only. The camera's also come with a few
stickers to deter any criminals. Quality & features The camera is
packed with features to help with all your security needs. As you
can see from some of the images the app is packed with different
settings to fiddle around with including adjustments to the
sensitivity and some basic Ai technology for detection.
Miscellaneous features *You can move the camera almost 360 from
app *2 way talking feature *Lights on camera, switch on via app
or auto detection in night *Recording via SD however limited to
10 seconds per capture *Night vision There are plenty of other
features which can cater for your needs. Battery & Charging Based
on how many detections and sensitivity(on settings) my camera
lasts around a month without solar, charging via USB-C takes a
few hours. With solar it depends on sunlight and summer days are
obviously better, I haven't had the opportunity to see how the
solar panel plays in the winter. Alexa Connects to Alexa like a
charm, name the camera something easy like 'front door' and then
tell Alexa show me front door camera. The camera will show up on
your Alexa for around 3/4 minutes before rerurning home. You need
to connect to Alexa using the app and not directly through Alexa.
Improvements The app still has a little room for improvement. The
battery indicator when the solar panel is attached only shows a
charging indicator but not the percentage. This can be
problematic as you want to know if the camera is low on battery
even if the panel is on. Although cloud is available at a
subscription cost the SD only records for a few seconds longer
then the free cloud storage. I would like a slightly longer
recording time for SD. The camera is a little on the bulky size,
which could be an advantage for some of you as you want it to be
seen, however I find it a little too large. I can't give you a
review on how it plays in extreme weather, my camera is not
exposed to that scenario as it has a roof over it, so im not sure
how the lens will be able to tolerate the weather.
