Great camera and app! Great camera and app. Camera comes with a battery so no wires. Was really easy to install. The app allows you to add multiple users which is good. You get 30 days rolling free and it’s free with an SD card. I purchased a 128GB one so have loads of data. Really happy. Have bought a second one for the back garden.
Better than Ring If you’re looking for a security camera, then look no further. This is a brilliant bit of kit for 39.99 (on sale). I feel much more secure when working nights that my back garden is being monitored by this bad boy.
Works just as you need it to Decent little camera. Installation took all of 2 minutes with a drill, pairing with the app was also quick and easy.
The interface of the app is easy to use and recordings are easy to access.
The camera quality is really good. Nice and clear with a wide angle. There’s other good features like a security light, 2 way mic and a siren if you need it.
No bother to fit or use so I would definitely recommend.
Good value for money Very impressed with this camera. Bought two, one to put in my back garden and one at the front. The app and the set up is very straight forward, it took hardly no time. The only thing was it was mentioned SD card to buy separately in the description which I did but when I looked into the instruction details it said to have a micro SD card.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent security camera Purchased this camera on Tuesday set it up today so easy to do up and running in ten minutes good picture quality would definitely recommend this camera price is very good to
Great camera for such a low price Absolutely delighted with this little camera. Only had it approximately 2 weeks but cannot fault it so far. Out of the box it was screwed to the wall, connected to my phone and working perfectly inside 10 minutes.
Picture quality is pretty good, night vision better than I expected and the built-in light is handy to brighten things up if needed. All i all, a really good purchase.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great little cameras. Easy to set up with Instructions and connections to wi-fi were pretty straight forward. Good playback options with good night vision with the light sensor activation.

Installing the camera was easy and very intuitive. Quality of video is great and the settings allow you to increase battery life.
Highly recommended
5.0 out of 5 stars Really good little security camera. bought this camera for security at front of property, neat unit with lots of good features, easy installation and set up instructions, just download the app to access all features, needs a micro sd card for recording. a very good purchase, would recommend.
Excellent video and stills The camera was very easy to connect and is giving some excellent shots. The LED really helps to capture excellent images of night time visitors – I use it to monitor hedgehogs.
The company have already made contact as an offer of support. What more could you want?
Edit: I have been so impressed with the quality of the images from the camera, I have bought a Second one! Both cameras are working just as I would want so why buy any other?
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent security cameras The cameras arrived quicker than expected, are really easy to set up, control and monitor, plus remotely chasing settings is really simple.
Excellent product and service.
5.0 out of 5 stars Night time vision and colour is brillia It’s an excellent camera the picture is so clear and at night the picture is very good and you can marks the exact spots you want monitored.and the spot light is so bright.Must say I’m very happy with this camera.No fault.
5.0 out of 5 stars Nigh Brought this camera to discover what was coming into our garden at night, have to say I have been pleased with the results so far, have recently made a home for our latest resident….
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to fit and easy to use Fitted the camera on the front of the house in less than 10 minutes. Connected to our router straight away and then downloaded the app. Its easy to use and you get movement alerts sent to your phone and also a live video feed if you want to look at what is happening. Added bonus of a light that comes on at night when movement is detected
5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality As the price was very reasonable I wasnt quite sure what the quality of the item would be like but I am very impressed, very well made with a 2 year warranty and a good team on hand that assisted me with setting up . Picture quality is very good and the app has a lot of functions and is easy to navigate.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Picture Day and Night! Its very clear picture and sound. The app used with it has so many features to adapt to your needs too! Super simple to set up! Device sharing with other family members is great too. Motion detection is adjustable and very good! Very please with the product!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great little security camera Small discreet camera, good picture and video. Has siren alarm and light. Would recommend solar panel if not using mains power as would have to climb up to take the camera down and recharge. Not had it long enough to know how long the battery lasts without charge. Easy to install and set up.
Customer service excelle I had a problem with a camera, about which Cooau exchanged several emails offering advice how to reactivate it. Unfortunately none worked. However Cooau replaced the camera with a new one woithout requiring me to return the defunct one. Another camera has worked well for a long time.
The problem has been resolved and Cooau gave brilliant service.
Impressive Work absolutely great I’m so happy I took the gamble buying it. The picture it provides is really clear and bright and it will catch anything and anyone that enters my garden. Perfect!!!!!!!
Remote security camera The camera was very east to install as was the app. It was up and running in 10 minutes. It has linked easily and I know have remote security. Very reasonably priced for what it provides.
Watch out when charging Initially fine although doesn’t record for long when motion is Detected . Until went to charge.. charging port is loose and will not charge. SELLER SENT NEW camera within a week, many thanks
Good all round exterior security camera Camera used outside under roof to deter would be intruders and works well, capturing good quality images with good motion sensitivity. Easy to set up and recharge. Overall recommended product.
High quality image, compact desig Very well made camera, sharp image. Excellent customer service. Recommend purchasing the solar panel which keeps the camera at full charge without having to take it down to charge it .
COOAU camera The picture is so clear on this camera especially when your watching a live view video a love the siren that you can just turn on and off when you please and the light on it decent cooauuuuuuu baby
Battery operated camera I was sceptical about the camera with the battery life suggesting between 1-3 months before needing a charge.
I am pleasantly surprised that 2 weeks in, the battery life is at 81%
Our camera is used indoors and doesn’t have any motion detection setup so I assume this is prolonging the battery life.
Either way it more than does the job it was intended fo
Second purchase I purchased the second camera for the front garden. It is easy to add to the app and I can see my front garden anytime. I often take a business trip left my family behind. Today I also communicated with my family via this camera. The camera has a very good mic. In overall, it is a good product.
A lot of features Pleased so far with camera for a budget security device. Has lots of useful features such as the motion triggered light which is handy by my front door for dark nights, and although it’s a subtle light it goes a long way for the colour night vision. You can also activate the light and siren on demand via the app. The picture is good and clear, and quite detailed close up, although for distance detail you may need a higher spec. Works well on wifi but also sends notifications to my phone when away from home. Live viewing is also possible at home or away via the app. There is a good amount of flexibility on the settings, sensitivity levels, alarms etc. I haven’t used the cloud storage to be able to comment on that, as I purchased an sd card which stores and enables viewing of the footage. Battery life seems pretty good so far. The microphone picks up from quite some distance too. It also has a 2 way intercom that I haven’t used yet. It’s early days but so far I’m very happy with it.
Terrible motion detection but good image quality Ok, so I have bought 7 of these over the last few months and have them installed in 4 different locations. Here is my verdict.
The Pros:
The setup is pretty straightforward and the 2k quality is good too. The battery lasts a long time (weeks) so long as you don’t access the camera too often and trigger the LED light. I have a mix of USB powered cameras and a couple which just rely on the battery as I could not get a USB cable long enough to reach them. You have to be mindful that a cable over 5m starts to create issues as there is not enough power to drive the camera beyond this distance, so the camera probably would not work if use a cable greater than 5m. The mounting bracket is pretty sturdy and the camera holds its position well enough. The app is reasonable — not quite as intuitive as it could be but good enough for the main tasks required. So far the cameras have withstood a broad range of weather, including rain, and they seem to be holding up well. The LED light is ok too as is the loudspeaker but you can get some sound issues which are more related to Wifi than anything else, so you end up with a bit of jitter from time-to-time.
The Cons:
There is a terrible lag with the motion detection. Even when you have the sensitivity setting set to the maximum, the camera does not start recording until the subject is almost on top of the camera. This is the case on all of the 7 cameras I have purchased so I can confidently say that it’s not a one-off issue. This was them main reason I did not give the product a higher rating. This might seem relatively minor but there have been several occasions now where I have wanted to see the face of someone as they walked up the drive, and all I end up seeing is the back of their head as they go past the camera. The night vision is ok but anything beyond a few metres and you’d be lucky to make anyone out (I couldn’t even recognise my own son one evening).
Summary:
You get what you pay for. If you really need something for security purposes then I would highly recommend spending a bit more and going for a higher quality product. If, however, you just want to be notified when the postman has been, or to check on the dog in the back yard, then this product is perfectly satisfactory. Its best feature is a good image quality (2k version) and it has a reasonable app. The worst feature (by far) is the terrible reactivity to any motion. So its 3-4 stars from me but because of the relatively low price, I’ll give it a 4.
Value security. Overall good value for money, originally bought one for the front of the hse and was happy enough to buy a second for the rear of the hse.
Great camera. Picture quality is great and you can easily see faces and number plates on our street.
The speaker means you can clearly be heard by anyone in the picture. Battery life is good to and it’s very simple to take down and charge. It is extremely good value for money.
Overall great product for the price, I simply cannot fault it and would recommend.

Absolutely brilliant 🤩 I don’t normally write reviews on purchases, but I felt compelled to let people know that this is an absolutely brilliant piece of kit for the money.
Bought this camera for the front door as a trial security tool with a view to buying another for the back of the house if it was any good. Sufficed to say there is another one on the way.
Super easy to set up. The only key consideration is WiFi strength which needs to be good, especially if you are going to use it outside. I ended up using a cheap WiFi extender and plugged it in near the front door and it has provided the required signal strength.
Any movement near the front door (night or day) is picked up immediately and I’m alerted via the APP which in turn pings my Apple Watch. Already I’ve seen the benefit: delivery drivers leaving parcels for all to see on my step, allowing me to alert someone to collect it. I’ve seen family and friends calling when I’ve been out. You also have the ability to speak with anyone that the camera picks up.
Honestly, if you’re thinking of buying one, you won’t be disappointed.
Great after sales service I bought a couple of these and have found them to be excellent quality. However after 4 months one of my cameras became unresponsive and would not charge. I was a little concerned about whether this would be covered under manufacturers warranty but I need not have been. I contacted the after sales support by email and they were more than helpful. After a few email exchanges to test a few things it became apparent that any remote fixes were not going to work. At this point the company agreed to send me a new camera which arrived quickly. All done and dusted within a week or so and no hassle whatsoever. I would definitely recommend this seller. Best after sales service I’ve ever had! It’s a great little camera. Clear picture and easy to set up.
Excellent product at a great price Ordered after reading the positive reviews and so glad I did. So easy to setup and the quality of the product and the video feed it excellent both day and night. The alerts come through to my phone straight away when there is any movement in the area I have set it up in. I have already passed the details on to a few of my friends. Ordering another soon.

Great picture quality Picture quality is very clear, can easily see faces and number plates within a reasonable distance. Easy to use app with various options for motion sensors, timers, playback etc. Good motion detector alarm which picks up human movement after approximately 4 seconds. (Would be good to be able to adjust this with any future updates)
Overall great product for the price and would recommend
Fab little camera Bought this camera as I’ve been having problems with a group of teens. We went for this because it’s battery powered and I didn’t really want to hard wire a camera to the house. It’s great, you’re not forced into a subscription as you can pop in a memory card. Picture quality is brilliant, motion sensors are also fab. Would definitely recommend and I think I’m even going to look at their camera doorbell next 🙂

Excellent Security Camera - Recommended! Bought this camera, on the back of many positive reviews… here’s my honest review.
QUALITY: States it’s a 1080p camera, i’d say it’s close to this resolution. The footage is clear and crisp, and the camera has very good wide angle coverage.
NIGHT MODE: The camera automatically detects night mode when it’s low light, and works very well. Again, the picture is good with decent clarity and you can make things out very clearly.
MOTION DETECTION: This is generally good, but some software updates can make it better… On the app, the default setting is 8 (out of 10), and this generally picks people/movement up within the cameras view. There was a couple of times, when the camera failed to pick up say our dog in the garden, and also it’s sometimes a little slow to pick up human movement. As a suggestion to the manufacturer, i’d make the camera more intelligent by thinking more intelligently on movement. I had a couple of occassions where the camera picks up movement late, then sends a notification. Ideally, I want the camera to pick up as soon as it notices any movement within it’s field of view, and then record at least 30 seconds to 1 minute, predicting more movement.I appreciate there’s a battery management issue here, but this is important and integral to why people by security cameras.
BATTERY: Generally seems good. I’d recommend you take the manufacturers advice and charge it fully BEFORE you set it up, to allow the camera to perform at maximum capacity and as best as it can.
APP: ‘CloudEdge’ is the app that the manufacturer uses. It’s generally straight forward to use – I wish it had more recording time when it picks up movement. Also, when you get a notification, rather than clicking the notification to only see a screen capture of what the movement is, it’d be better to click on the notification and go straight to the video clip of what’s been recorded. Also, the pricing for the cloud service seems slightly expensive, also i’d improve the cloud storage time to at least 90 days of footage stored. This would be far more helpful for the money.
VALUE FOR MONEY? For the price, this is a very good camera with a lot of positives – i’d recommend it to anyone who’s looking to buy one – I hope that the manufacturer takes on board my suggestions and thoughts, to help improve the security aspect of the camera and the overall user experience.
Great camera and app!
Great camera and app. Camera comes with a battery so no wires. Was really easy to install. The app allows you to add multiple users which is good.

Ok, so I have bought 7 of these over the last few months and have them installed in 4 different locations. Here is my verdict.
The Pros:
The setup is pretty straightforward and the 2k quality is good too. The battery lasts a long time (weeks) so long as you don’t access the camera too often and trigger the LED light. I have a mix of USB powered cameras and a couple which just rely on the battery as I could not get a USB cable long enough to reach them. You have to be mindful that a cable over 5m starts to create issues as there is not enough power to drive the camera beyond this distance, so the camera probably would not work if use a cable greater than 5m. The mounting bracket is pretty sturdy and the camera holds its position well enough. The app is reasonable — not quite as intuitive as it could be but good enough for the main tasks required. So far the cameras have withstood a broad range of weather, including rain, and they seem to be holding up well. The LED light is ok too as is the loudspeaker but you can get some sound issues which are more related to Wifi than anything else, so you end up with a bit of jitter from time-to-time.
The Cons:
There is a terrible lag with the motion detection. Even when you have the sensitivity setting set to the maximum, the camera does not start recording until the subject is almost on top of the camera. This is the case on all of the 7 cameras I have purchased so I can confidently say that it’s not a one-off issue. This was them main reason I did not give the product a higher rating.

The night vision is ok but anything beyond a few metres and you’d be lucky to make anyone out (I couldn’t even recognise my own son one evening).
Summary:
You get what you pay for. If you really need something for security purposes then I would highly recommend spending a bit more and going for a higher quality product. If, however, you just want to be notified when the postman has been, or to check on the dog in the back yard, then this product is perfectly satisfactory. Its best feature is a good image quality (2k version) and it has a reasonable app. The worst feature (by far) is the terrible reactivity to any motion. So its 3-4 stars from me but because of the relatively low price, I’ll give it a 4.
Hope this helps.

Overall good value for money, originally bought one for the front of the hse and was happy enough to buy a second for the rear of the hse.

Detecting motions in right time. Batery try longer. I’m quiet happy.

Great camera.
Picture quality is great and you can easily see faces and number plates on our street.
The speaker means you can clearly be heard by anyone in the picture. Battery life is good to and it’s very simple to take down and charge. It is extremely good value for money.
Overall great product for the price, I simply cannot fault it and would recommend.

Great product with great aftersales service.
We have 4 of these and they are fantastic. Would recommend them and have done.
Absolutely brilliant 🤩
I don’t normally write reviews on purchases, but I felt compelled to let people know that this is an absolutely brilliant piece of kit for the money.
Bought this camera for the front door as a trial security tool with a view to buying another for the back of the house if it was any good. Sufficed to say there is another one on the way.
Super easy to set up. The only key consideration is WiFi strength which needs to be good, especially if you are going to use it outside. I ended up using a cheap WiFi extender and plugged it in near the front door and it has provided the required signal strength.
Any movement near the front door (night or day) is picked up immediately and I’m alerted via the APP which in turn pings my Apple Watch. Already I’ve seen the benefit: delivery drivers leaving parcels for all to see on my step, allowing me to alert someone to collect it. I’ve seen family and friends calling when I’ve been out. You also have the ability to speak with anyone that the camera picks up.
Honestly, if you’re thinking of buying one, you won’t be disappointed.
Great after sales service
I bought a couple of these and have found them to be excellent quality. However after 4 months one of my cameras became unresponsive and would not charge. I was a little concerned about whether this would be covered under manufacturers warranty but I need not have been. I contacted the after sales support by email and they were more than helpful. After a few email exchanges to test a few things it became apparent that any remote fixes were not going to work. At this point the company agreed to send me a new camera which arrived quickly. All done and dusted within a week or so and no hassle whatsoever. I would definitely recommend this seller. Best after sales service I’ve ever had! It’s a great little camera. Clear picture and easy to set up.
Excellent product at a great price
Ordered after reading the positive reviews and so glad I did. So easy to setup and the quality of the product and the video feed it excellent both day and night. The alerts come through to my phone straight away when there is any movement in the area I have set it up in. I have already passed the details on to a few of my friends. Ordering another soon.

Great picture quality
Picture quality is very clear, can easily see faces and number plates within a reasonable distance. Easy to use app with various options for motion sensors, timers, playback etc. Good motion detector alarm which picks up human movement after approximately 4 seconds. (Would be good to be able to adjust this with any future updates)
Overall great product for the price and would recommend
Fab little camera
Bought this camera as I’ve been having problems with a group of teens. We went for this because it’s battery powered and I didn’t really want to hard wire a camera to the house. It’s great, you’re not forced into a subscription as you can pop in a memory card. Picture quality is brilliant, motion sensors are also fab. Would definitely recommend and I think I’m even going to look at their camera doorbell next 🙂

Excellent Security Camera - Recommended!
Bought this camera, on the back of many positive reviews… here’s my honest review.
QUALITY: States it’s a 1080p camera, i’d say it’s close to this resolution. The footage is clear and crisp, and the camera has very good wide angle coverage.
NIGHT MODE: The camera automatically detects night mode when it’s low light, and works very well. Again, the picture is good with decent clarity and you can make things out very clearly.
MOTION DETECTION: This is generally good, but some software updates can make it better… On the app, the default setting is 8 (out of 10), and this generally picks people/movement up within the cameras view. There was a couple of times, when the camera failed to pick up say our dog in the garden, and also it’s sometimes a little slow to pick up human movement. As a suggestion to the manufacturer, i’d make the camera more intelligent by thinking more intelligently on movement. I had a couple of occassions where the camera picks up movement late, then sends a notification. Ideally, I want the camera to pick up as soon as it notices any movement within it’s field of view, and then record at least 30 seconds to 1 minute, predicting more movement.I appreciate there’s a battery management issue here, but this is important and integral to why people by security cameras.
BATTERY: Generally seems good. I’d recommend you take the manufacturers advice and charge it fully BEFORE you set it up, to allow the camera to perform at maximum capacity and as best as it can.
APP: ‘CloudEdge’ is the app that the manufacturer uses. It’s generally straight forward to use – I wish it had more recording time when it picks up movement. Also, when you get a notification, rather than clicking the notification to only see a screen capture of what the movement is, it’d be better to click on the notification and go straight to the video clip of what’s been recorded. Also, the pricing for the cloud service seems slightly expensive, also i’d improve the cloud storage time to at least 90 days of footage stored. This would be far more helpful for the money.
VALUE FOR MONEY? For the price, this is a very good camera with a lot of positives – i’d recommend it to anyone who’s looking to buy one – I hope that the manufacturer takes on board my suggestions and thoughts, to help improve the security aspect of the camera and the overall user experience.
