Xega 4G LTE Security Camera No Wi-Fi Solar Camera with SIM Card

Second updated review. The camera has been very good since we bought it and has been a great piece of mind for my daughter so she can keep an eye on the horses. We had a problem after about 6 months with the camera charging. We went through the help offer by Xega and in the end it was believed to have developed a fault. They (Kiki) was very good and arranged a replacement camera to be sent out and it was received within 3 or 4 days. Very good after sales customer services.Original reviewThe camera was pretty straight forward to set up. Was already charged and the SIMM card provided worked straight away. Once synchronised via the Mobile APP the camera has been fine. The camera picture quality is good. As the provided SIMM card worked well we took out the 12 month subscription. We had an issue when the the original SIMM card data had been used up and the next 12 months subscriped to. The SIMM card needed to come back out and I had to install a different SIMM card to start a network search. Once the original was then put back in the subscriped service has been working fine. The Solar charging is good and the battery power has remained although its not recording continuously. Overall its been very good and value for money, and the night vision has also been useful as the camera is looking after horses in a field.

I am extremely impressed with the Xega 3G/4G LTE Security Camera! This product has exceeded my expectations in every way. The 2K Super HD video quality is crystal clear, even at night, thanks to its excellent night vision capabilities. The PIR motion sensor is highly responsive and ensures I’m alerted to any activity around my property.The solar-powered design is a game-changer, providing a hassle-free setup without the need for WiFi. The inclusion of a SIM card makes it even more convenient for outdoor use in areas where WiFi isn’t available. The two-way talk feature is an added bonus, allowing me to communicate remotely with ease.What truly stood out was the exceptional customer service I received. The support team was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful in guiding me through the setup and ensuring I had the best experience possible. Their professionalism and friendliness made the process seamless.I highly recommend the Xega 3G/4G LTE Security Camera to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality security solution. It’s perfect for outdoor use and offers fantastic value for money

Fantastic camera I’ve had a fair few tried and tested some of the more expensive range of cameras and by far these have been the best for picture quality, ease of installation and ease of use . If that doesn’t sell it to you then their customer service is amazing ! Never to much trouble and easy to speak with. I would never go back to Reolink as had nothing but problems with them in the weather but these have been up now for over two years and I haven’t had to touch them and in the ovation I did have an issue the customer service rectified it straight away ! We live in the middle of the mountains and the weather is particularly harsh but these cameras manage everything that’s thrown at them. They’ve never lost service and it’s spotty at best here. The built in cloud option is easy to manage and you have lots of options to use also resetting the sd card is easy to do through the app my father in his 60s and has Parkinson’s and he manages easily to use the app and cameras.

Camera works well in good weather in the day and at night. View isn't always great in the wet weather but the camera isn't sheltered at all so works well considering, haven't had any issues with snow, frost, wet etc.. sometimes over sensitive to lorries passing in the main road but would rather that than not detecting any issues. Solar panel works well and camera is still fully charged a few months into daily use. Overall very happy with my purchase.

Edit 3. The camera and solar power through the winter where perfectly fine. It's been nearly 2 years and have caught 3 intruders onto my property. Police showed up on 1 occasion and I was able to listen to the conversation unknown to them. Imagine their suprise when I used the speaker to interrupt. Best money I've ever spent on a gadget.Edited Review. 2So after a year and a much needed App update I dont actually have anyhting bad to say aboout the camera. If your in a situation where you dont have the internet this SIM option is perfect. But the tech support has been brilliant as well. I highly reccoment this camera.It seems a lot of the issue was with Vodafone. I changed carriers and since then any of the issues below have gone. Yes, there is the occasional connection delay, but in all it's been a much better experience. What I will say is how good the customer care has been.I have had the camera for a few weeks and I feel I am in a strong position to write a fair and accurate review. Its a mixed bag with a couple of deal breakers for me.The positives are there is a lot or really good things about this. If you are in a situation where there is no WiFi, then the SIM option is a great way round this, just go for a well known network in your area and not the SIM provided. Not only will you save heaps but you will get a stronger, more reliable connection.The camera itself is pretty decent, its zoom is still clear at quite a distance and the nigh-time camera is crystal clear. Even the voice works better than I was expecting, its not great, but people can hear and talk to you.The basic camera functions in the app are ok, not great, not good, just ok. Moving the camera about is a breeze, but that it as far as the positives.The motion detection, one of the most important part of the system, is quite frankly the weakest link. There is no point having a security camera that doest not come on where there are intruders. If the camera is anything above 3 meters, it is inconsistent, even set to high. Who puts a security camera lower than 3 meters where people can easily access it and break it? This for me was a fail for me. The detection should be good for 10m minimum, otherwise it's just a party piece and not fit for the job.You have to subscribe to get any video saves and accessed, and oh my god what a PITA this was to actually get to work. The app failed to process my transactions with PayPal. The only way I could get this to happen was link the phone to my PC and use the WEP option. Personally, the camera should be free is its going to be a subscription, and I would gladly pay more for a system that works well.You also have to give them a lot of your personal data, for what? Its a camera.So a lot of good things let down by poor movement detection and a terrible app. But this is one of the better option on the market, they just need to improve a couple of points and it would be perfect.

I don't normally leave reviews on products but just felt I had to on this one. I bought this camera over 6 months ago now so it has seen plenty bad weather and days with little or no sunshine which was my biggest fear when purchasing that I would have have to take it down to charge it during the winter. Yesterday and today have been just about as bad as it gets here weather wise and the battery is showing fully charged right now. (It turns on when the motion detection picks up movement and records instantly) I have recommended this to a friend who like me, needed a camera in a place I did not have power or Internet connection available. I can at any time, open the app and see the location where I have the camera which has brought peace of mind. It is incredible value for money. I bought my own mobile sim card to put in it (I use GoMo in Ireland, €14.99 a month but it's worth it for the security.What has driven me to write this review is the customer service that comes with this. I thought I had an issue with the camera cloud storage but it appears to have been just my bank processing the payment was the issue as I had changed bank cards. I reached out to the company through the app and I was expecting the usual automated response you get from many companies these days, but a person named Rebecca was back to me the very next day and could not have been more helpful and I was up and running straight away. Not sure if the company ever see these reviews on Amazon, but if ye do, know that ye have a super team member in Rebecca. I had been recommending this camera in private prior to this but after the top class customer service, I said I'd stick a review up on Amazon.Long story short here. If you need a 4G Solar powered CCTV camera, you won't go wrong with this one.Easy to set up.Easy to install.It's a deterrent and its high quality. Can read number plates from the footage.I got it while on offer on Amazon, but it's easily worth it's full price if I had to pay it.

It used to work fine, but now it doesn't. I had my camera on, and then it stopped working—I don't know what happened.

I'm so glad I made the right choice by getting this camera. Great value for money and motion detection is on point. The connectivity is also great and it works just as expected. Plus the customer service is also excellent. They were quick to resolve my concern and they sent me a free extra solar panel with an long extension cable that allows me to place the panel in a strategic position for direct sunlight. I really love this camera. The best for real!

PERFECTO FUNCIONAMIENTOTRAS UNA INCIDENCIA, EL VENDEDOR ME HA CAMBIADO LA PLACA SOLAR SIN INCONVENIENTE NI COSTES.

Great device with image and quality is also good and a better flexibility and very easy to use and had an issue with a Sim card but a Team Member "ANNA" sorted out within minutes and a great service from ANNA.

I’ve been very impressed with the Xega 4G LTE Cellular Security Camera. We purchased it to monitor a remote construction site where there is no power or Wi-Fi, and it has exceeded our expectations.The motion detection works great and sends alerts whenever someone is on the property. Through the app, we can check in anytime, watch live video, record footage, take photos, and even speak through the camera. The solar panel has kept the camera fully charged without any issues, so we haven’t had to worry about power at all.Setup was fairly easy, although the instructions could definitely be improved. It reminded me of trying to set up an Android phone when you’re used to an iPhone—you have to play around with it a little, but once you do, everything makes sense. The instructions also made it sound like a separate SIM card was needed, but the SIM card is already built into the camera. You’ll just need to purchase a cloud storage plan if you want to save recordings and a cellular data plan if you’re using the camera somewhere without Wi-Fi.One feature I really appreciated was that we initially set the camera up on our home Wi-Fi, then moved it to our construction site where there is no Wi-Fi. It automatically connected to the cellular network without any additional setup. I was concerned we would have to reconfigure everything, but it switched over seamlessly.We’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now and are genuinely impressed with the video quality, features, and overall performance—especially considering the price. Another nice bonus is that multiple family members can use the app on their own phones without paying additional subscription fees.Overall, this is an excellent value and a great solution for anyone needing reliable security at a remote property, construction site, farm, or vacation home.

Working well! I added my own SD card so I don’t have to pay for the cloud save, but I do pay monthly for the LTE data subscription. However, to me it is more than worth it. This camera works very well for monitoring my workplace which is too far from wifi to be able to use a conventional security camera setup. It’s not 100% perfect as its motion activated and takes a few seconds to kick in sometimes when it’s picking up video, but it’s been helpful on more than one occasion for me so I’m satisfied!

Diese haben ein auf nur wenige 100MB beschränktes Datenvolumen inkludiert, das schnell überschritten ist.- Alle Kameras (bis zu 6 Cams) lassen sich über die Ubia-App (Apple App-Store) konfigurieren, überwachen und steuern.- Alle Kameras haben eine steuerbare, zoomfähige Linse.- Cam 1-6 wurden auf „mittlere“ Empfindlichkeit bei „Bewegung“ eingestellt, da sonst („hohe Empfindlichkeit“) Fliegen vor der Kamera Alarm auslösen.- Cam 1-4 haben in den Einstellungen zusätzlich die Option „Mensch“ (aktiviert).- Cam 1-4 Der Alarmbereich gleicht einem 45/55Grad-Fächer „aufgespannt“ von der unteren Mitte des Kamerabildes. Reichweite max. ca. 8(-12m).- Cam 5 Der Alarmbereich lässt sich in Matrix definieren.- Installation erst nach vollständigem Laden des internen Akku vornehmen- Installation über Ubia-App vornehmen (ist selbsterklärend, aber Anleitung liegt bei)- Unbedingt PTZ Reset direkt nach Installation vornehmen. Das erleichtert das Steuern der Kameras im Alarmfall.- Funktionstüchtigkeit - im Besonderen der innen verwendeten Kameras - ist hochgradig von der Empfangsqualität des Funksignals abhängig!- Alle Kameras wurden mit 128GB micro-SD Speicherkarten bestückt.- Bei allen Kameras wurde die Aufnahmedauer auf 20 Sekunden eingestellt (wg. Datenvolumen/Sim und SD-Card)- Alle Kameras zeichnen Aktivitäten automatisch auf Karte auf und laden in die Cloud hoch.- Bei „LIVE“-Beobachtung lassen sich Clip- und Fotoaufnahmen manuell auslösen.Erst-Installation/Ort:Cam 1 innen 2m unter Dachfenster - in ca. 4,5m Höhe - mit Solarsegel an zusätzlicher Halterung (innen direkt unter Dachfenster) - Alarmbereich ca. 8m entferntCam 2 innen neben Fenster - in ca. 3m Höhe im Treppenhaus (Außenhöhe ca. 7m) - mit Solarsegel an zusätzlicher Halterung außen - Alarmbereich ca. 5-7m entferntCam 3+4 außen am Mast/Höhe ca. 5m/Alarmbereich ca. 8-12m entferntCam 5 innen flach an Wand, 1m neben Fenster- Alarmbereich ca. 5,5m / später 2,5m entferntCam 6 innen 1,5m Höhe - Alarmbereich (Aussenfenster) ca. 3m entferntEinzelbeurteilung:Cam 1 (Innen):Aufladung mit dem innen unter dem Dachfenster montierten Segel funktioniert nicht. Hier muss eine Powerbank die Laufzeit verlängern.Signalübermittlung und Erkennungsalarmrate wie (2).Cam 2 (Innen)Die Aufladung über Sonnensegel funktioniert hervorragend. Ladestand seit August ununterbrochen 100%.Die Kamerasteuerung/Signalübermittlung erfolgt bei Vodafone-4G (3Strich-Empfangsqualität) zeitverzögert um etwa 1-2 Sek. Die Erkennungs-Alarmrate ist sehr gut.Cam 3+4 (Außen)Beide Kameras haben - neben der steuerbaren - eine zweite FIXE Weitwinkel-Linse, die eine gesamte Häuserfront (75-100m) abdeckt (nur Sicht, nicht Alarm!). Beide Kameras wurden nach 6 Wochen um einen Meter nach unten versetzt, da trotz aktivierter Option „Mensch“ auch Katzen oder Vögel Alarm auslösten. Die Erkennungsrate verbesserte sich deutlich, die geringere Höhe macht die Kameras allerdings „angreifbarer“. Die von XEGA empfohlene maximale Höhe von 2,5-3m kam daher überhaupt nicht in BetrachtCam 5 (Innen):Nach Umpositionieren der Kamera von Montage an der Wand neben einem Fenster nun „freistehend“ in 1,8m Höhe direkt unter einem Dachfenster, ist die Erreichbarkeit/Reaktion/Steuerung zufriedenstellend bis gut (vorher sehr schlecht).Cam 6 (Innen)Kamera liefert (fast zeitnah) gestochen scharfe Bilder im Alarmfall.ALLE:Die „Alarmierung“ erreicht den (Smartphone-)Empfänger grundsätzlich mit etwa 3-5 Sekunden Verzögerung. Bis man die Ubia App und dort die entsprechende Kamera aufgerufen hat, ist die erste 20 Sekunden-Aufnahme in der Regel bereits gespeichert.Support:- Im Verlauf der Installationen, die von zwei „Admin“ vorgenommen wurden - Admin A (Cam 1-4) und Admin B (Cam 5-6) - zeigte sich, dass die Vergabe der Adminrechte wechselseitig nicht „unproblematisch“ ist.- Bei Wandmontage von Kamera 5 funktionierte diese nach Erstinstallation zunächst gut. 2 Stunden später war die Kamera nicht mehr erreichbar.Der Support von Xega - erreichbar über den Button „Kundendienst“ (Achtung: differenziert je Kamera!!!) - ist PERFEKT. Innerhalb von wenigen Stunden erfolgt eine Reaktion auf ein gemeldetes Problem. Es empfiehlt sich vor der Kontaktaufnahme alle „üblichen“ Überprüfungen vorzunehmen und dies auch mitzuteilen, sonst wird man dazu aufgefordert. In meinem Fall habe ich dem Kundendienst Admin-Zugriff auf alle „beanstandeten“ Kameras gegeben und jeweils konkrete und hilfreiche Unterstützung erhalten. Vielen Dank dafür - im Besonderen an Rebecca!!!Mein Fazit:Für unseren Anwendungsfall stellt die beschriebene Konfiguration eine sehr kostengünstige Variante dar ( Hardware inkl. Cloud und SIM-Karten/Vodafone-Tarif Tech Flex für 6 Cams und 6 Monate ca. 1100€)Die Alarm-/Erkennungsrate ist sehr gut, die Aufnahmen sind qualitativ gut bis sehr gut.Bei Cam 5 und 6 aus 2 bis 4m Entfernung sind Personen/Gesichter einwandfrei erkennbar. Bei Cam 3+4 aus 8-12m Entfernung sind - allerdings nachvollziehbar - Gesichtszüge trotz HD nicht mehr erkennbar!Was nicht ganz unwichtig ist: Der Support des Kundendienstes ist TOP!
