ON WATCHSolar PTZ Camera with Floodlight, Motion-Activated Recording/Notification/Siren/Floodlight, 2K Resolution, Hardwiring-Free, Two-Way Talk, HD Live View, WiFi, White, No Monthly Fee

I’ve been using this camera to monitor my backyard, and it has exceeded my expectations in many ways. Mounted on my shed, which doesn’t have electricity, the solar charging feature is an absolute lifesaver! Having both a camera and a powerful floodlight all powered by the sun makes this a perfect choice for monitoring areas where power sources are limited.Key Highlights:No Subscription Required: One of the best things about this camera is that there’s no need for a subscription. That’s a big cost-saver and hassle-free experience compared to other cameras that require monthly fees.Effortless Installation: Installation was a breeze. All necessary hardware was included, and the process was quick and straightforward. Within minutes, I had it mounted and ready to go.Weatherproof and Reliable: Rated at IP65, this camera is truly weatherproof. I live in a humid, rainy area, and this camera handles both rain and high humidity like a pro without any issues.Sharp High-Resolution Video: The 2304 x 1296 video resolution is fantastic. The footage is crystal clear, and I can easily make out details in both daytime and nighttime recordings.Motion Tracking: The camera’s ability to track moving objects when it detects motion is a fantastic feature. It adds an extra layer of security, ensuring that no movement goes unnoticed.Bright Floodlight: The 1500-lumen floodlight is incredibly bright and easily illuminates my entire backyard. It provides great visibility, which is perfect for nighttime security.Solar Panels: My shed is located under large, mature trees, so it doesn’t get much direct sunlight. However, the solar panels come with long cables, allowing me to mount them in an area where they get more exposure to sunlight. Even with just a few hours of sun each day, the panel keeps the camera’s batteries fully charged, which is super convenient—no need to worry about constantly recharging.Durable Solar Panels: The solar panels have a glass coating, which adds to their durability. Unlike cheaper plastic ones, these won’t degrade over time, which gives me confidence in their longevity.A Few Minor Drawbacks:Mounting Options: The camera can only be mounted on a vertical surface. While this works fine for most scenarios, if you plan to mount it on a ceiling or a different angle, you might need an additional L bracket.Zone Recording: It would be nice to have an option in the app to select specific zones for motion detection. This would allow more control over where the camera focuses its recording after detecting movement.Limited Cloud Video Duration Options: The cloud video recording options are limited to 5, 10, 20 seconds, or full-time recording. It would be great if there were more duration options available.Overall Impressions:Despite a few minor drawbacks, I am extremely happy with this purchase. The combination of solar power, high resolution, motion tracking, and a bright floodlight makes this camera an ideal choice for outdoor security. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and cost-effective security camera solution!
