- IP Camera: true (An Internet Protocol (IP) camera is able to record and display image/video data via the internet, without need for a local recording device.)
- Number of IR LEDs: 4 (Quantity of infrared (IR) LED lights for emitting IR light and allowing the camera to detect objects in low light.)
- Camera Iris: Fixed (The iris is the opening on a camera that controls how much light reaches its image sensor, which in turn affects image/video clarity. Fixed and manual irises are generally suited for locations with consistent levels of light. Automatic and "P" (precise) irises automatically adjust in response to changing levels of light and are suited for a wider variety of environments. "P" irises feature additional capabilities for improving footage clarity.)
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)

- Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Good cameras for entry level home surveillance.
I do like that they're extremely portable I can put them where I want as long as it has access to daylight to charge the solar panels. It's not infinite, but I can go back at least a week to look at triggered events captured on video. This same feature is part of a $99 membership on the ring camera I just bought. It has a light feature but the huge drawer back it only lasts for 5 minutes, so it's not like one of the ring floodlights. But if you're just looking for a camera to record motion, this is a pretty good buy. Since it's not wired, it's totally dependent on your Wi-Fi connection and sunlight to keep the unit charged, though you can easily unscrew the camera and charge it via USB port if needed. I've only had to do this once in the year that I've had these cameras.

It's perfect. I'm changing my other brand cams. No montgly subscription requirement. Just buy microSD cards and ready to go. Easy install. Wide coverage. Clear resolution.

Very happy with these security cameras.
I am very happy with these cameras. They give a clear picture of the areas we needed to focus on. Alarm is loud enough to create a second look but not disturbing to neighbors. After two breakins at our office and considerable damage, these will definitely detour additional vandalism
