I dreaded setting this up after a previous brand had not gone without a hitch when setting up.
This was download the app, charge the battery, insert EE card and it worked instantly.
Good enough picture quality, though previous camera was clearer, alerts work well and you can set for more or less, no complaints so far.
Easy to install, solar panel keeps battery topped up even on dull days. Good picture quality and motion sensor/recording spot on. Audio a little patchy but adequate
I can keep my eye on my off grid stables 24/7 so gives peace of mind
First impressions out of the box are of a nicely made, quality camera. In the box with the camera is a solar panel with a very long cable and even a camouflage cover for the camera which helps protect it from the effects of global warming. The camera and panel are easy to put up – extra screws are provided for those who, er, screw it up 🙂 You’ll need to buy an STD card and sort out a SIM-only deal – I’m using a 64gb card and have a 3gb per month deal with Lebara for a fiver a month. Once up and running, the camera uses hardly any data unless you sit there watching it for ages – that will definitely chew up your data package. The settings allow you to adjust a lot of stuff, including push notifications, sensitivity and recording parameters. The solar panel does actually work really effectively – make sure you charge up the battery to 100% before installation and it will stay charged up.
The only reason I’ve deducted a star is because viewing (especially recorded clips) can be very glitchy and take several attempts to load (of course, this could be down to the quality of phone service, but I’m not convinced). The field of vision isn’t huge but it’s more than adequate to cover a driveway, a patio, a front door or the neighbour’s cat using your flower beds as a toilet. Also, if you don’t get the sensitivity levels right, you’ll get a notification every time a leaf blows in front of the lens!
This is a very neat bit of equipment that provides everything you want from a security camera without having to plug it into the mains or use wifi. Recommended.
Love this works as it should,I used it as a wildlife trail camera comes with camo cover too, the bracket don’t have camo cover but I used camo tape.. sola panel is definitely a bonus saves revisiting to change battery.. I use a Vodafone smart sim which is 5 to buy then 4 a month with no contract..
We needed security cameras on an empty property without electricity or broadband etc hoping to stop window breakages. We bought two cameras hoping they would deliver as stated. All activity is sent to our phone apps and is very clear and if required we can hold a conversation with anyone there. Activity is also recorded. After a few weeks the batteries are still fully charged with use of the solar panels. Excellent product so far.
We have two of these now. I gave 4 stars as connecting is not always easy (it relies on network connection so can be patchy) which can be frustrating. The good out ways the bad for sure as being able to have a live camera where there’s no electricity or WiFi is such a relief! I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again.
One thing I would like to see improvement on is the ability to read temperature.
Great camera 🙂
All good, be better if the sim came with it but easy enough buying the Vodafone iot sim separately. Be nice if the night range was further but that’s a tiny niggle, the range is pretty good truthfully…
Absolutely Fantastic Camera . The Motion Detection and Night Vision are Really Good and Clear . I’ve Noticed With The Solar panel The Battery Fills up Pretty Quick Too . One Bit Of Advice if You Have a Apple phone Download The Vodafone Smart App . Not The Vodafone V SOS . Vodafone Smart App In Black Links Your Camera and Sim Card absolutely Great . All together a Fantastic Camera Love it and Going To Buy More
Wouldn’t now be without this camera. It’s been up for about 2 weeks, gave it a full charge at home and placed the solar panel up high and it satisfactory trickle charges and has stated at 100% battery life despite the dull weather in the UK. I have a 4g sim to keep a stream and the quality is amazing. It gives me peace of mind knowing my yard is safe and my horses can be viewed at any time. I recommend this product so highly that I’m purchasing another one to direct the opposite way for full all round coverage. 5
Amazing so far, Catches every movement needed and has gathered evidence remarkably and with decent clarity. Solar panel works well but needs South facing position. Sound and vision passes with me.
Battery doesn’t last very long only about 3 days, not two months as described. For it to last longer you need to switch everything off which defeats the object. Camera is good including night vision it’s just a shame about the battery
Fantastic bit of kit. Solar powered and works with a SIM card. Picture is really clear even at no. Worth every penny.
This camera was bought to keep an eye on the horses as they are in a field too far away to get wifi. This is excellent. Run on a SIM card for data it has been a great add for seeing the horses and knowing if anyone is hanging about. We did have an incident with people in the field at 3 am. This lets you know if there is movement and you can watch to see what is going on. We have had 2 episodes of no signal but didn’t last too long. Absolutely love this as it protects the horses and my daughter when she’s up there.
Absolutely amazing product! Easy to set up and use. Perfect if no electric or wifi near. Brilliant quality in day and night. Gives me peace of mind at any time.
Great product, 20m range for good detail.
It comes with the battery and Vodafone chip
wanted this to monitor a rarely used gated entrance and bin storage area, looking to spot fly tippers for example.
Wasn’t sure initially of its suitability, but few options on the market so have it a try.
It’s superb! Installed it 12 days ago with the solar panel and have been on holiday travelling the UK since then. I receive alerts (easily modified to suit your specific requirements) on the App on my smart phone and can instantly playback any or all of the individual captures which have been initiated by the motion detector. Initially found the motion detector was too sensitive and was initiating with all the passing traffic and pedestrians, however, am able to remotely tweak the settings as required, so currently only getting notified when people or vehicles coming in to the vicinity I am interested in – currently about 6 per day. The video quality is excellent and able to freeze frame and capture images easily straight to my photos app where can easily identify number plates for example (toggle quality to ‘clear’ not fluent in playback). Still playing with the controls, but so far so good. Not rated night vision, as so far not had any experience of it plus we’re in the middle of Summer here so only dark for a few hours.
I have a 64gb MicroSD installed and it loops (overwrites oldest footage when full), but so far have still got all the captured videos (approx 70 videos each between 11 and 18 seconds long, from the last 11 days). Obviously you can save any captures directly to your phone/pc or to the cloud, though not tried the latter yet.
I received a Vodafone V Sim with the camera and once I’d set it up, works great (as long as you have 3 or 4G coverage where your siting the camera) for 4 a month (bargain). I did have a few issues getting the sim enabled.
All in all, a very robust solution.
I purchased one of these cameras, with the solar panel, for the stables. There was no available electrical supply or WiFi so this appeared to be the only option. I used the Vodafone v sim that came with it and it was pretty easy to setup. There is a slight delay with the account setting up and syncing but once it was done it was easy.
I set up a few other horse owners on their apps on their phones and we were all up and running.
So far it’s been fitted for about 6 weeks and the power supply has never dropped below 90%. Motion activations are also pretty good and send alerts to everyone setup on the app.
The cost for the v sim is below 5 a month, so far so good.
I’d definitely recommend this camera. They’re pretty awesome and for the price an absolute bargain.
This camera is excellent gives piece of mind for me and my family so we can check on our precious horses and know the land is fully secure the quality of the camera is excellent even when it’s dark we are so happy with our purchase of the riolink camera xxx
Using this in conjunction with a Vodafone V-sim and the little solar panel that comes with it to provide security on a plot where we are building a new house.
A little bit tricky to set up, but got there in the end.
First camera would set up ok, but after leaving alone for an hour or so would not reconnect. Had some toing and froing with ReolinkEU via Amazon seller messages, but after a few e-mail exchanges, they sent a new camera which works perfectly.
I connect with the mobile phone App and Reolink PC app regularly, and the battery seems to be well supported by the solar panel.
PC app seems to have a few issues compared to Android App (can’t get playback to work on PC, but fine on Android), but overall very good.
Installed the camera to watch wildlife on a large park and it works amazing.
Fast, good quality and easy to set up.
I have always used cameras that are attached to wifi and this would be the first time I have tried a mobile 3G/4G alternative as the location of the camera does not have any Wifi signal. I was very sceptical how well this camera could work from its signal strength connection, to its battery life.
*** Installation: ***
Nothing terrible and installation is the same as with any other camera. It comes with some raw plugs as well as the needed screws. It has templates for both the camera base and the solar panel base so you know where to drill the holes. You might need a spare phone to activate the Vodafone SIM card.
*** Connection ***
The camera comes with a data only device specific Vodafone SIM card and the subscription comes to 4 a month for unlimited data for this device only. This is, I think, the cheapest data only sim around. However, make sure that you get a good decent signal (at least 4G) from Vodafone in the location you will be placing the camera. You can use any other data SIM card of course and are not forced to use the Vodafone SIM card but it is very convenient.
*** Storage: ***
The video footage recorded are stored onto the local SD Card. There are no SD Card with this package so be sure to purchase one of at least 16 GB before installation of this camera. Video footage are not big so can store quite a lot of videos. Once the card gets full it will delete older videos in favour of newer footage. The apps allows access to these videos, and you can download or share them from the app if you need to.
Reolink offers a free iCloud backup server for your cameras – however this is NOT available for this camera in the UK even though you can subscribed to said service. There is no way to add the camera and Reolink support have confirmed this. Saying that, it’s technically not needed since you can stream off the camera’s SD card directly. Not too big of an issue unless the camera was stolen.
*** Solar Panel/Battery Life ***
The package that I purchased also comes with a solar panel which depending, on the location you are placing the camera, may or may not be as useful as it appears. I was very sceptical with the ability to keep the camera charged especially. with the typical British weather. However, it has not disappointed. It’s been in used for a month now and the battery has not dipped below 98%. I don’t anticipate any issues during the Summer months even on cloudy days. We will have to see how it turns out in the dark winter months.
*** Quality of Footage ***
The camera records and stores both a quick access low data video, as well as a high quality video. Both are accessible via the app (and of course the SD Card). The quality is decent as with any outdoor cameras. Night vision is also as good as can be expected. Sensitivity may be a bit too high as we mostly catch several of the neighbourhood cats wandering around at night.
*** Support: ***
I had to contact support a couple of times via email contact on their website. They are relatively quick to respond, and are very nice and helpful.
*** Issues Encountered: ***
I had a few weird blips that I think I should mention for completeness.
Firstly, on the first day of installation, the camera would only get a 3G signal. This corrected itself to 4G the next day and have remained that way ever since. My guess is that the SIM card is still trying to find the correct phone towers to use at that point. Let me tell you, streaming over 3G is not pleasant and I was initially not impressed.
The 4G SD Card that I placed into the camera caused issues with video storage and playback. It was the only SD Card I had at that time and assumed it would be fine since the video stored were not big. The camera instructions did mention that the minimum SD Card size should be 16GB so once I placed it with the correct size, it worked splendidly and as expected.
There was a period in the last month (a few minutes) where the camera would not send a notification and I was not able to connect to the camera through the app. I initially thought the camera’s battery have ran out (although it claimed to be at a 100% that day). However, it turned out the camera was active, but there was no phone signal during that period – potentially a Vodafone issue rather than a camera issue. Video footage was still recorded onto the SD Card during the SIM card down time so the camera was operating correctly.
*** Conclusion ***
I am completely surprised how well this camera worked especially considering the price (and was on offer at the time of purchase). It helped with security in places where there are no accessible wifi signals. It works just as well as any wifi camera, and paired with the solar panel a completely truly wireless alternatives. I have yet to see it in action during the dark Winter months but I do anticipate recharging the camera’s battery but we have to see.
So easy to set up (as long as you know the app you need to set up the SIM is now called Vodafone Smart App!).
Great images too.
The camera came supplied with a Vodafone SIM.
For some reason first order went astray but excellent service from Amazon and refunded on gift card and used that to order replacement. Put camera up yesterday and after a few issues with the SIM card it’s all up and running. SIM was included in pack but the app from App Store was Vodafone smart app. That was what I found confusing. But pleased with camera
Mit der Kamera bin ich sehr zufrieden. Vor allem war die Beratung von Cassie sehr hilfreich. Ich kann es weiter empfehlen.
Das einzige was strt ist die Karte von Vodafone. Diese kann man nur aktivieren, wenn man bereits Kunde ist oder wenn man eine Kreditkarte Besitz und mit der Kreditkarte zahlen kann.
Schade, da dass Angebot von Vodafone an sich sehr gut ist. Knapp 5 Euro fr 40 GB.
Great camera, easy to set up and install. Good night vision. Needs SD card to take recordings. Great piece of kit. The stick up signs are no good outside though.
Non ha un rilevamento del movimento dei migliori, ma in relazione al basso costo fa egregiamente il suo lavoro. Molto semplice da installare e da utilizzare. Superlativa l’assistenza!!!! ne ho prese 2 e forse ne prender altre.
I was a little dubious about a camera run solely on 4G/3G and charged via a solar panel. I have got to say I’m so pleased I went ahead! I was quoted over 800 for a similar camera through a security company. This was not even 200 and has given me peace of mind that my horses are safe and keeping out of mischief. The alarm you can set off remotely is a little quiet but I’m sure if needed it would make someone realise they are being watched. You have a clear and fluent setting. The clear setting makes the picture much sharper but the playback a little jumpy. The fluent makes the picture less clear but playback is much smoother. When the horses are being naughty I can use the talk function to tell them off, and they wonder why they can hear me but not see me, but it works haha! I keep mine on the clear setting and the motion detection on 100%. I have had this for a couple of months and I’ve never had to charge it! Absolutely brilliant budget camera and I would recommend to anyone. I’m actually looking to get several more
Wir haben eine ReolinkGo mit Solarpanel und SimCard nun seit 1,5 Jahren in tglichem Gebrauch und sind sehr zufrieden. Akku Laufzeit gut, Aufladen per Solarpanel funktioniert meist auch gut (es sie denn, es wird wochenlang nicht hell , mit Schnee und Regen und Klte, dann muss man malnachladen, das ist aber selten und abhngig davon, wieviel geguckt wird). Wir nutzen die mit gelieferte SIM Card.
Weil wir so zufrieden waren haben wir 1 Jahr spter eine weitere gekauft – die Kamera an sich war auch identisch, jedoch hat das Einloggen mit der SIM Card absolut nicht geklappt, was wohl an der App lag. Ohne SimCard nutzt die Kamera ohne Wlan aber leider gar nichts, deshalb ging die dann zurck, sehr sehr schade!
Funktioniert einwandfrei und macht super Bilder. Nachts knnte eventuell noch etwas besser sein.
Eigentlich wollte ich eine Kamera, die schnelle Bewegungen (alles, was fliegt) ruckelfrei und identifizierbar aufnehmen kann, weil ich mit meinen Ring stickup cams diesbezglich nicht ganz zufrieden war. Diese Kamera kann aber auch nur 15 Fps. (Ok, ring kann in Europa sogar nur 10, aber Industrie-Standard fr Sicherheitskameras sind derzeit 30 fps).
Hardwaremig: viel zu schwer und gro, eifrmig und daher nicht so gut greifbar, den Akku rausnehmen ist mhsam, dass er dreieckig ist, macht es auch nicht besser. Das Bild ist ganz gut. Der Akkuwechsel im Betrieb drfte sich schwierig gestalten, SIM und SD Karte knnten unter Umstnden rausfallen, was man leider vom Akku nicht sagen kann. Aber nachdem ich bis jetzt keine Mglichkeit gefunden hab, einen zweiten Akku dafr zu kaufen, ist das eh kein Problem.
Die App bietet nicht viele Mglichkeiten der Anpassung, man kann blo einstellen, ob die Kamera Bewegungen registrieren soll und ob man darber benachrichtigt werden mchte. Ein Feature, dass je nach Einstellung alle 5/10/15 Minuten automatisch ein Snapshot gemacht werden soll, wr schn.
Dass eine SIM von Vodafone beiliegt, ist nett, auch wenn sie fr mich nicht brauchbar ist. Immerhin hab ich dadurch Adapter bekommen. Ich hab mir eine SIM von Hofer besorgt, die benutzen das t-mobile Netz und daher funktioniert die Kamera mit dieser SIM.
Was mir gefllt:
Das Solarpanel schaut echt gut aus! Dadurch, dass es nicht glnzt, kann es in der Sonne auch nicht blenden. Und unaufflliger ist es dadurch auch … Und es drfte gut funktionieren, gestern und heute gabs Schneestrme und sporadisch Sonnenschein und die Kamera zeigt nach 24 Stunden (und zahlreichen Verbindungen meinerseits zu ihr) immer noch 100 % an.
Der mitgelieferte Tarn-berzug ist praktisch, man muss ja nicht auf den ersten Blick das weisse Ei im Baum hngen sehen. Mit dem Gurt kann ich noch nicht viel anfangen, aber ich werde vermutlich eine Verwendung finden. Dass diese Kamera unabhngig vom Stromnetz ist und dass sie mit SIM funktioniert, ist sehr gut fr Orte, an denen man keinen WLAN Empfang hat. Das war eigentlich der wichtigste Grund dafr, dass ich diese Kamera gekauft hab. Es gibt ja abseits von Wildtier/Jagdkameras kaum welche mit Solarpanel und SIM.
Als ich die Kamera im Garten aufhing, wollte ich auf dem iPhone nachschauen, ob die Position gut ist, aber da bekam ich immer nur beim Aufruf des Live-Streams die Fehlermeldung, dass das Passwort falsch ist. Irgendwann bin ich dann draufgekommen, dass die Kamera ein eigenes Passwort hat (nicht das vom Login), und das muss man eingeben, wenn man von einem neuen Gert aus auf die Kamera zugreifen mchte – zum Beispiel auch, wenn man jemandem den QR Code gibt, um ihm den Zugriff auf die Kamera zu erlauben, muss der zustzlich noch das Passwort eingeben, das bei der Installation angelegt wurde. Wozu das gut sein soll, wei ich nicht. Es ist jedenfalls mhsam und frustrierend, wenn man damit konfrontiert wird und keine Ahnung mehr hat, dass es so ist.
Fazit: um tglich mal nachzuschauen, ob im Gartenteich irgendwo abseits von einem WLAN noch genug Wasser drin ist, ist diese Kamera optimal. Fr non-stop berwachung ist diese Lsung aufgrund der Mobilfunktarife eventuell nicht ratsam. Das Solarpanel ist durchdacht und sehr gut. Den Preis fr die Kamera halte ich aber fr berteuert und dass es nicht einmal einen Zweit-Akku fr den Austausch extra zu kaufen gibt, ist seltsam – das ist bei batteriebetriebenen berwachungskameras doch ein Muss, ich kann ja nicht den Akku mit nach Hause nehmen, dort aufladen und dann wieder zur Kamera fahren, um ihn wieder einzubauen? Bei Ring ist das super gelst, da gibt es Ersatzakkus zu kaufen und der Akkutausch erfolgt rasch und einfach, was im Winter schon manchmal ntzlich ist.
Super Kamera, wenn man die richtige Simkarte benutzt ,besitzt, kauft!!!
Kamera wurde ohne Speicherkarte geliefert??
Wir nutzen diese Kamera fr unseren Garten. Einfach super das Teil. Klare Kaufempfehlung. Funktioniert einwandfrei.
Consiglio a tutti efficace e semplice, arrivata in anticipo e ben imballata
Die Kamera ist sehr hochwertig und macht sehr gute Aufnahmen.Das installieren ist auch problemlos,sehr gut beschrieben.Man kann ja auch auf YouTube ein Video darber anschauen.Die Kamera funktioniert wirklich berall da wo 4 G vorhanden ist,also vorher mit Handy testen.
I needed a reliable camera to observe a few pregnant mares this year. This camera was easy to set up and worked straight out of the box. I charged it before installing, used the sim that came with it at a very reasonable 4.00 per month, and now have perfect peace of mind without having to spend my nights sat in the car waiting for the foals to arrive. I’m not using the motion detector, but I might try it…
Very pleased.
This is the second one of these we have purchased. They are perfect for a location where Wi-Fi is not available, in our case in our ponies field. This one came with a Vodafone VSim card so didn’t even need to sort a SIM card.
We added a memory card to store recordings. If we get an alert (to our mobiles) then we can quickly look at the playback to see what is happening. Usually the ponies playing chase it a fox crossing the paddock.
As a system these really do work, the only advice we would give is to check on your phone there is 4g available where you want to use it. Also get the version with a solar panel, in more than a year with the first one we have never had to charge the battery.
From getting out of the box to working took 30 minutes. Highly recommended.
Purchased for a friend, she is very happy 26th i
Captured my rescue mare having a foal! Perfect – so happy!
I didn’t have any daylight access whilst having the camera docked in the stable so it was a case of taking the back off every 4/5 days and retrieving the battery to take home and charge. In hindsight I would have bought two batteries so one was constantly charged and ready to swap over. I now have the camera set up outdoors. Its day three of using it with solar panel and all seems to be working well – battery seems to stay topped up in the 90 percent end. I really like the feature where you can set the sensitivity of the motion sensor depending on use. I have to switch off constant notifications to my phone as when set to high its as often as every few minutes with horses but it’s handy to have saved as clips to watch back later incase anything were to happen. Great product, have recommended to friends and I will be buying one more for another area of the field later in the spring
Definitely does what it says on the tin, I have 4 of these and they give me complete peace of mind that my horses are ok when I’m not there with them
The camera gives a very clear picture, great motion detection and a clear microphone, happy with all these features. It was simple to set up too.
I’d like the connection to the phone to be quicker and more robust, but I suspect that has many contributing variables. The loudspeaker could have greater intelligibility, but that’s being picky. Good value and a quality product, glad I bought it.
Easy to install and link up. Good detail on app. Charges well with the mini solar panel.
Wanted the complete package that included the solar panel to charge the battery, After all its a 3g/4g sim only device.
The kit contains the camera, rubber camouflage skin, mounting brackets and solar panel with mounts. Cables for charging from USB and cables to connect solar panels to camera.
Setting up the device is very easy. Download the app and follow the instructions, disappointed that an sd card isn’t included for recording. We fitted a class 10 32gb card. We charged the battery from USB before setting up outside.
The camera is easy to set up and we went with recommended Vodafone data sim.
Camera image quality is excellent in daylight and darkness. Sound communication is a bit hit and miss.
To save data we just login to view and log back out.
What’s really disappointing is how quickly the battery is dischargeing. We presumed the USB solar panel would keep the camera fully charged. Camera is only on motion detection from 6pm to 8am. So far after 12 days of use battery is only at 32% even when connected to solar charger. Battery life will be a big issue as we have mounted the camera quite high in our stable to keep the camera out of reach of the horses. It will be a real pain if we need to keep unmounting the camera to charge! Not contacted support yet to get advice.
PROS
Remote camera that actually works well
Great image quality
Easy setup
CONS
Battery life
If battery drain can be sorted I would rate 5 star.
MARCH UPDATE AFTER A FEW GOOD SUNNY DAYS BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED. WINTER WILL BE AN ISSUE, SO BE WARNED WHERE YOU MOUNT IT AS IT WILL NEED A CHARGE FROM THE MAINS IF WEATHER IS DULL.check out update images showing charge state
Easyvto set up with Vodafone for 2 a month. Clear picture, great night vision.
Nice security camera and my own fault I didn’t check, but the option to upload recording to the cloud is not available in the UK. This is pretty key for me as the camera is easily accessible, but if it’s not an issue for you then its a good camera, the motion sensor is good, good recording quality and was easy to set up, once I spoke to Vodaphone who explained how to set the SIM up! Am sure the more techno minded wouldn’t have any trouble. Not sure how good the solar charger is, been cloudy most of the time since we had installed it, so have had to charge it once at home, but weather and location may be the fault there.
We use these in a Nature Reserve for both security and tracking wildlife. Great performance and good pictures.
Excellent camera. Bought with the solar panel. Used to monitor a field with no electric or WIFI. Not used the PIR motion detection as yet but the wide span view and clarity has saved much travelling to check all is ok. Now sunlight is disappearing more, an hour or so charging on mains electric or power bank once or twice a week keeps it topped up. Brilliant product and would recommend for remote area. We have good 4g vodaphone reception. Highly recommended.
Absolutely love my Camera good picture and sound quality.
Definitely reccomend to friends
I’ve been so impressed with these cameras that I have now bought 3. The fact that they come with a Vodafone sim card makes setting them up very easy. Within a few minutes you are up and running.
Not only that, but the company’s customer support is second to none. I contacted them about repairing a damaged camera and they sent me a replacement free of charge and offered to pay for the postage of sending the damaged camera back to them. If only other companies took on their willingness to support their customers.
5/5 from me, bought to keep an eye on my horses, I thought ppl were walking through my fields and letting horses into another field and closing the gate behind them leaving them with no water!!! TURNS out the horses know how to open gates! No WiFi needed, no electric hook up needed! 5 a month for 4G! Easy to set up! Only down side is the strap rather than using fixings so I can move it about, the camera is maybe too heavy for the strap but it doesn’t affect working order as the camera is easily adjustable. A bit blurry when zoomed in but I don’t need clear identity with this! No camera stops trespassers anyway! Or gets them caught let’s face it lol a top buy ! Just pricy but I’m saving up for another one.
I bought this cctv camera with solar panel for my garage which is located in a garage block without power elsewhere, I wanted to be alerted of any movement or break in Attempt. It’s perfect and I would highly recommend. The SIM card that comes with it costs me 4 pound a month unlimited data… so I can access it as much as I like … I installed it with 58% battery and the solar charged it up to 100% within a couple of days. Probably because I kept testing it and using some battery power. Easy to install and setup , I used some outside weatherproof Velcro tape to pin my solar to roof. Could of fixed it to the bracket if it was an end Garage but it’s a middle garage and back of it is in some else’s garden !! Not an easy fix but this ticked all the boxes for me and worth every penny . Mounted another dead lock on garage door now I have complete faith storing tools with lock and cctv. Early days for battery etc but it’s September and I live in newcastle so mainly cloudy lol .. battery certainly charging without issue. Don’t hesitate to buy this for somewhere without power it’s so impressive. And definitely use the dedicated sim it comes with it’s cheaper then any other provider for data.
Can’t rate this highly enough, I have it at my horse field which has no power. Complete peace of mind with phone notifications when movement is detected, offering some sense of security for my belongings. I like it so much, I have just ordered a 2nd one to view my horses too. Pictures uploaded show night view with no light, night with solar spotlight activated and daytime view, I’m sure you’ll agree, it’s pretty good without spending a fortune. Couldn’t be happier.
Good camera and very easy to set up with the app, once you sort out the PIR detection distance it’s total piece of mind, I’d definitely purchase again if I needed to.
Easy to set up and registration with Vodafone went smoothly. App shows the battery which, with the solar panel, has remained at 100%. Occasionally detected a passing cat or badger in night. Adjustable sensitivity is good. You can take snapshots with the app and play back auto recordings, which happen when it detects movement. Can also notify you when movement is detected.
But… There’s no web site or API, so you can’t use it for timelapse or scheduled recordings.
After reading many reviews online and watching you tube videos this looked like the perfect piece of kit for my needs.
My Dad has a farm in the middle of know where with people fly tipping in front of his access gate, but with no power or WiFi this camera ticks all the boxes.
What should be an easy set up seemed to be very hard work and for some reason the camera would not connect to the app using the QR code scanner. Even though the camera had registered “network connected successfully” I am using a Three pre-paid data SIM loaded with 24GB.
I managed to connect the camera after about 80 times but the following day it lost connection. I was pretty fed up now. I made a video and sent it to the Reolink support team and the following day I had a response. I sent over the details of the camera, about 1 hour later I was told to try and re pair the camera again and it worked 1st time!
seems there was something blocking the TCP protocol, having said that Reolink support were very helpful and the camera has been working ever since.
What is good about the camera it does record locally to an SD card so you’re not constantly using data only for live video feed and playback from the SD card.
Good camera easy to set up, clear picture and handy with sound recording , second one and will get a few more
Great camera perfect for a remote location without power and/or an internet connection. The camera quality and recordings are excellent as is the motion detection. The microphone picks up even everything in the locality and is very sensitive. All in all a superb well made piece of kit. There are some things that could be better and I’m sure with upgrades they will come into the camera. Very annoying that you can’t view recordings from the camera and you physically have to retrieve the memory card. You can however record direct to your phone upon An alert for motion detection but you need to be near your phone to get things running. All in all a great camera that does exactly what it says it does.
So pleased with this product, very easy to set up. Took no more than 10 minutes. Viewing the camera of an afternoon can be somewhat static and I may get a live stream for about 5 seconds but just have to hit the refresh button, but think this is more a Vodafone issue I feel rather than the camera. Of a morning I can stream for over an hour without any interruption and that’s set at 1080p. The Solar panel has been charging the camera all day and has kept the battery at 65% but this is probably due to the amount of times I am checking the camera. Not sure how it charges in normal British weather as today was very sunny and have to add that even though the sun isn’t shining on the solar panel for about 4 hours now it is still supplying a charge to the camera. This has provided such peace of mind hence why I cannot praise this product enough and have already recommended to a friend whom has ordered one.
Working perfectly. In my field. Near barn. No false alarms just the job .easy to set up .I would definitely buy agai
This product is excellent. If you want this type of camera in a remote area, then this is superb. Had it installed for 1 month with no problems whatsoever except the SIM card wasn’t activated by Vodafone (their error).
Does what it says on the tin, absolutely no complaints there.
There are some things not mentioned on the tin which make this less than perfect:
– only takes 10 second clips
– is slow to wake to movement and can miss some of the action.
– IR lights are ‘on at night’ or ‘off at night’. ‘On at night’ uses a fair bit of battery, off at night means that the PIR trips, but you get a recording of darkness. Why-oh-why did they not include ‘turn IR lights on at night when PIR trips’ option.
Otherwise reasonably hassle free set up and usage. User interface takes some getting used to, and connecting to the camera sometimes takes a while (this may be 3G signal levels, and that may shift the blame to Vodaphone).
Summary: If they addressed the three issues it would be an impressive piece of kit.
Providing excellent security for our site, has lead to us catching one unwanted visitor already!!
Easy to set up but getting the motion detection to not ping every second took a bit of work.
Doesn’t always connect and keeps telling us that the battery needs charging, but the battery meter says 95+% so all is ok.
Pic quality is good so a great option if you have no power or WiFi in the location where you need a camera.
Used this camera in my stables so I can keep an eye on my ponies remotely. So far it’s working brilliantly – the night vision in particular is very good ! The only reason it hasn’t got five stars for everything is because occasionally it freezes and fails to load – but I just try it again and it literally delays me by a couple of seconds so overall very pleased – would definitely recommend.
Great product where there is no power. We were concerned that we might have issues with the mobile data signal but everything is working great. Only had the camera is situ 3 days so reviewing on the product so far.
This camera came with a Vodafone v-sim. Wish this information would have been clearer from the sellers as I also ordered one from Vodafone so now need to return i
Was very skeptical on the battery life for this camera, but pleasantly surprised at how long this lasts for and with the addition of the solar panel I have no further worries.
The camera was easy to setup and the picture quality is fantastic.
We have this setup to keep watch over our livestock and entrance to our field,l which was impossible by other means due to it’s location but the 4G network makes this a reality.
Very impressed with this camera.
Perfect for keeping an eye on my boat. Easy to set up and works perfectly.
I really like this it works great and exactly how it should. The battery life cannot be knocked as even without the solar panel it hardly drains. The solar panel keeps it to near on 100% all the time. In fluent and clear mode its really good and clear (obviously better in clear mode)
The live streaming is good however it sometimes lags which i suppose is expected but is slightly frustrating sometimes when you have to press it a few times.
Motion detection is good. It picks up well. And records well quite a few seconds before and after its been detected. Sometimes doesnt get everything but defo works well.
I do wish it could record 24/7 however it never claimed to constant record so cannot be too picky.
I have a 64gb sim card in it and its hardly used any of the card over a fortnight. The 4g sim i had a bit of trouble with (do NOT insert it into your phone) its only 4 a month which isnt bad at all!
Nightvision is very clear and very impressed with it! App is good and really easy to navigate and playback and change settings.
Overall this is really good. And i have recommenced already to a number of my horsey friends (i have this to keep an eye on my horses.
EDIT after having this for a number of months i am still impressed with it but i thought id highlight a few things. Firstly the solar panel keeps charged even in the winter however sometimes i find it has dropped low and needs unplugging and replugging to almost ‘reboot’ the charging process.
Also sometimes the app can be slightly buggy and not let you view the camera. It can also have very little signal which can make it frustrating when you have to press it a few times to view. Still happy with it though and use it daily to check my horses
