A:AnswerI don't know .. We haven't hooked it up yet . Didn't realize it had to be hooked up to electric. Thought it as a plug in.. If you find out if we can hook it up to solar instead of electric PLEASE let us know.
A:AnswerThat depends on a few things. 1
Do you have constant power to the install location?
2. Are their structures or anything else blocking "line of sight" between your mount point and the nearest Wifi access point?
3. Is there a way to put a repeater or bridge or wifi amplifier between the mount point and the nearest Wifi access point?
This unit needs strong consistent wifi to work correctly for the camera functions. The lights don't care and will operate without WiFi, but the camera will not.
If you can't get the camera within 100 feet clear line of sight from a WiFi access point, you aren't likely to be happy with it. If you have power to the mount location, consider using a Powerline Adapter to send your network signal to a closer location, then add a WiFi point near the light. Depending on all of those things, it may work.
A:AnswerI've had the white one for a few weeks now. It won't turn yellow as long as the water from your sprinklers don't it it. I might turn a little brown of black from the dirt. Spry it down with the hose and use a Mr. Clean magic eraser will get it looking new.
I was worried bout the black version changing color in the sun, so i went with the white.
A:AnswerI have two flood lights. The second is soffit mounted under the gutter above my garage. There is no difference between the images from the cameras based on the way they are mounted. The person who installed the one upside down (basically), used a second waterproof box to make sure the camera cleared the gutter. There were no additional tricks. There are videos online where folks are encouraged to alter the ball that allows the camera to move. However, there were no physical alterations to the camera for my home and it works fine.
