[Updated X 2] Nice little camera...
Not sure what all the whining in the bad reviews is all about. When I received it I was immediately impressed by the build quality and overall design. Very solid unit and I like it much better than the Blink camera that I am replacing.Great picture quality (for 1080p), totally silent motor operation, great mounting options.I'm also impressed with the phone app (especially compared to the Blink software) - haven't tried the desktop version yet, but expect it to be the same. Very customizable and mostly intuitive. PTZ operation is very good.In other words, I would recommend this camera and I would buy it again.----------Edit (07/29/21): I take back everything I said about this camera. I've been working with it for about a week now, and I'm even more impressed than I was before. Great solar charging (and I only get about 2 hours of direct sunlight where I mounted it; it will passively charge too, just much slower), I'm really impressed with the video quality (again, especially for just 1080p), also, I'm impressed with the WiFi connection. My installation location meant that this unit was going to be about 30-40 feet from my router, through walls and windows, with the unit antenna facing away from the router location. Still, excellent signal, and only a few seconds lag [which is probably more due to my router than the camera]. Anyway, impressed.If I were talking to a friend about this unit I would tell them (he/him, she/her, it/other - LOL) to buy the freaking thing and ignore the negative reviews.This, coming from a real "Tech Guy" with almost 40 years of real tech experience.Ciao!----------Edit (08/04/21): I received this unit with about a 38% battery charge. Based on my preferred installation location [second floor balcony, with dense foliage/trees], I really should have, and had the option to, fully charged the unit via USB before I installed it. But, being the adventurous, stubborn S.O.B. that I am, I wanted to see how long it would take to get a full charge using only the solar panel. Today I achieved 100 percent charge! Yay!You do the math because I don't want to. But, to the best of my recollection, it's been just under a month, and I have full charge with only about 2 hours of direct sun on the panel, and the rest of the day is passive. Admittedly, I would shut off the PIR (Motion Detection) during the day, almost every day, to allow the charge to hold rather than be on/off again all day, which would inevitably sap the power, and prolong the 100 percent goal.Having said that, now with 100% charge, I'm going to leave the PIR detection on 24/7, and I'll probably update again.Bottom line... I freaking LOVE this camera, and I still don't understand the negative reviews (please don't get me started).Hope this helps,Ciao!
