Security Camera Outdoor – DEKCO Wireless Solar Security Camera, 1080p HD, Smart Human Detection, Simple Setup, Night Vision CCTV Camera Outdoo

I love the camera but I just can’t work out how to share with another phone. The manual doesn’t cover this and I am unable to find information on the internet. Apart from that I am pleased with the quality of the camera. It can work well away from the router and gives smooth, clear images. I just wish I could share it.

Picture quality is very good . Colour quality also very good . Had a slight problem with recording area and cloudedge app but dekco customer service resolved this very quickly many thanks to brady from customer services for your swift response and help i would reccomend decko products high quality, and fantastic customer services are there if you ever need them. cloudedge app is fair but once you have a play around with it you will soon pick it up .night vision is also very clear viewing .i also found this Easy to install . I fully charged camera before installing it and found the solar panel has held its charge very well .

Worked well then broke stopped working seemed like seller was ignoring messages.
Then got a replacement and
Works well again.

Funciona muy bien el nico problema es que lo se conecta a una red 5G, el resto es perfecto

Good camera, solar works well maintaining power to the unit, night vision is nominal, resolution isn’t great but sufficient just for monitoring. My biggest gripe is the functionality of the software, it will only record when you tell it to detect motion which is ok, but then you are notified of every movement, you can specify humanoid only but then it doesn’t record other movement. I would think the better option for their software would be to the notification and recording to have their own seperate set of triggers independent of each other. e.g. I want it to record at night but I don’t want notifying unless it’s humanoid.

Installed this yesterday. #1 – Solar panel is in a bright, sunny spot. Battery is not charging. We plugged a power pack into the camera to see if it was the camera and it started to charge the battery (according to the app) so something is up with the solar panel. (Q&A for this camera recommends simply charging it with a USB every few days if the solar panel doesn’t charge the camera but why would we buy a SOLAR powered camera if we were willing to do that?) #2 – Infared isn’t working. As most people would probably agree, night time is when you especially want your camera to work. Ain’t happening with this camera! #3 – Motion sensor (in daylight) works well but drains the battery (that won’t charge with the solar panel…) We have reached out to customer service for resolution and I will happily change my review if we can get this camera or a replacement working. We’re kind of disappointed because this seemed like the idea solution for placing a camera in an awkward spot.

UPDATE: Customer service responded within 48 hours with questions and recommendations including “reseating” the USB cable. The solar panel now seems to be charging the camera and though we aren’t sure why because we didn’t change anything specifically to do with it, the infared now seems to be working.

Purchased 2 of these cameras to replace the W-nowa i had because they were an older model and night vision started to crap out at the new place . These guys work great and detect humanoid detection so there’s less messaging regarding tree motion or cars driving by. It will happen once in a while (I live on a busy street) but definitely an improvement since the last guys. The help team is great, they reach out and respond quickly. The app is also user friendly. I am thinking about purchasing a subscription but you don’t have too which is great.

The best customer support experience that I have ever received on Amazon. Really.

The camera works well. The app could be a little better at things like saving videos to my iPhone, but it’s usable.

A good purchase.

This is the best solar security camera I have used yet.
Great for indoors or at an entrance as intended.
I had hoped it could detect at greater distance but the quality of the picture is also not designed for this.

So it is perfect for it’s intended use.
I have ordered a different model to try outside for my needs.

Overall, best I have seen yet for this price.
Highly recommend for home use.

This is excellent for the price, it was easy to set up to the cloud edge app and took about 20 minutes to install the camera. Once installed it’s easy to adjust the camera angle. The picture quality it excellent.
I inserted the 128 scan disc card which once formatted works fine.

I bought one of these to keep an eye on my backyard, specifically the area around my new spa prior to leaving on a two week vacation. The camera arrived very quickly and it took me only 30 minutes to install.

I’ve now had the camera for about a month and here are my thoughts.
1. Great Wi-Fi signal strength due to the two antennas.
2. Great picture quality.
3. I love the fact that you can save all the footage and snapshots to an SD card, so NO need for the cloud storage unless you want that.
4. The night vision and motion detection seem very strong. You can create a schedule for when you want notifications and alerts and when you don’t. For example, day vs night, home vs. away. This is very useful.
5. Love the solar panel. Every time I check the battery level it’s always at 100%

There was really only 1 con that I had, which really isn’t a con since they fixed it. When I ordered the camera I expected it to have the ability to pan because the other reviews mentioned that, but mine didn’t have it. I may have ordered the wrong one. I contacted customer service and really wasn’t expecting a quick turnaround; our vacation was also coming up quick. To my surprise they were very responsive and shipped us another camera which had the panning function. I was also able to get it installed before leaving. The customer service is top notch in my book and I will definitely be ordering more cameras from them in the future.

I have not tried this because it does not have a card inside , like stated. could please let me have one so that I can get started

Daytime the camera takes excellent quality pictures and works very well..

Nighttime not so much.. The camera works well however it is very hard to tell what is in the picture as it is not clear at all.. I will do some more settings changes and see if I can get the night pictures to a higher quality.. Will update the review in a week or so..

I like the fact that it works with solar. Easy to work

I was worried about this because I’ve no clue about electrical items and how to install them but my neighbour put this up for me in minutes and had it working on my phone in a few minutes more. Feel much safer now and can keep an eye on parcels too. Very good kit and being solar isn’t costing me anything to run.

Quand j’ai dcid d’acheter cette camra j’ai lu les commentaires des autres acheteurs. Mon achat correspond mes attentes. Facile d’installation. Pas de difficult la connecter au rseau. L’cran solaire est performante.

This is a great battery powered camera overall. It lasts quite awhile if motion isn’t too frequent without the solar panel, and with the solar panel basically goes indefinitely (at least for me so far.)

I have it placed outside my motorhome to keep an eye on things when parked alongside some other similar cameras, and it’s done the job well. Has held up to some snow storms and colder weather without dieing on me.

Picture quality is good, and you can stream in SD or HD. App isn’t perfect but does the job.

Overall solid for for 80$!

Just as many other CCTV cameras I had before, this one is super simple to set-up in matter of minutes when speaking about connection with app and phone.
What this camera is benefiting with more than others is that it comes with solar panel that will keep the camera running all the time, you can simply install it and forget about it and about re-charging it.

Standard features it comes with are:
-Night Vision
-Motion Sensor
-Smart Human Detection
-Two Way Audio
-Real time notification
-130 View Angle and many more..

This device will keep your area safe and you will be able to access it from anywhere through your phone. A little bit on higher price range but worth every penny.

The video quality is crystal clear, and the night view quality is outstanding. Easy to install and set up, it takes only a few steps to connect the camera with the App, and the wireless feature works amazingly well to access the camera from anywhere and anytime. The build quality is very good, feels sturdy, durable and well-made, and the solar panel is of good quality as well. The battery will last well during the night and charges enough even on cloudy days. Great product for the money, accurate description, and I highly recommend i

I still haven’t managed to get round to installing this on the outside wall of our house, but have been testing it indoors connected to a USB power source.

It was surprisingly easy to get up and running, just download the app, create a password, add your wifi password and let the app know you have a camera to add. It warns you to hit the reset button on the camera, which once that’s done connects in a few seconds. Job done.

The app is simple to use and easy to navigate. When selecting the camera image it appears in about 5 seconds. The motion sensor seems to be appropriately sensitive, moving around the room fires off a message to my phone (and connected watch) to say it’s detected movement. As I’m yet to test it outside I can’t tell how well this will work if stuff is blowing around the garden for example, but there are ten levels of sensitivity so it should be possible to find an optimum value without too much trouble.

The solar panel is fairly compact and fits into the base of the camera via a small removeable rubber plug. I might consider a little sealant just to ensure that there’s no water ingress when I install it outside.

Both wall mounts include their own templates for drilling holes for mounting. I don’t really understand why everything designed to be wall mounted doesn’t include these as they are so useful and such a simple and cheap to make, but valuable add on.

Image quality is good and provides plenty of detail, and the field of view wide enough to cover most of the garden from my mounting point when it goes up.

This is quite an impressive camera, being able to mount it without any cables running from inside makes it really versatile. To get the best from it I would suggest it probably needs to be mounted with the solar panel on a south facing wall, though the cable length means it could be mounted around the corner from the camera if the house and garden were appropriately aligned.

At 70 this is a bit more expensive than other similar models that take power from the mains, but I think the versatility of it being completed cable free is worth the extra cost.

Camera arrived the next day as expected.
Very easy to set up and download the CloudEdge app. I am by no means a “tech” guy and even for me it was easy. Using it on a farm hence why I didn’t go with a wired camera. I did fully charge it by plugging into the wall before starting to play with it. I then attached it to a 7′ piece of 2×4 and started walking around the farm to see where I could and couldn’t get a signal. Worked well up to 700′ from my new AP. Can switch from SD to HD right on your phone. Pic I included is HD.
Voice is really good and clear. Walking around property my wife was talking to me through camera and we both agreed it’s as clear as talking on the phone. We have left it in SD and have been playing with it a lot and haven’t noticed battery level on camera drop.
Will up date review in a month (todays date April 10 2022) as we have only had the camera one day. Was easy to set up family with their own CloudEdge accounts then they join the “family” so we can all see the camera at the same time.

This camera was very easy to set up on my Wi-Fi network. Installation outside was very straightforward and with the solar panel connected the camera stays charged very well so far. Picture quality is clear and easy to distinguish the details I need. I am pleased with this product.

– This camera uses the Cloud Edge app to run the camera. There are lots of wireless security systems that use this app and so you could purchase other units to run on the same app as well. I have 2 other cameras and also a wireless video doorbell that uses the same Cloud Edge app and it’s very convenient. This is the second camera from DEKCO and I have to say I like both of them.

– WIFI: This camera uses the 2.4GHz wifi band and does not use the 5GHz as many are using now in the home. If you don’t have a dual band wifi signal, you have to go into your router and reconfigure it so that it outputs 2.4Ghz and 5GHz band separately. The support of 2.4GHz is normal as every camera and doorbell units at this price range all use the 2.4GHz and do not support 5GHz band.

– POWER: This camera is battery operated and comes with a solar panel to charge the camera when it’s sunny. This is by far the best system in my opinion. For a wire connection camera, you have to run a long power cord to connect the camera. For a battery operated only camera, sooner or later you have to go outside and charge the camera. But for the hybrid system such as this DEKCO camera, it uses the solar panel to charge the battery and so technically, you’d never have the need to go and charge the camera. The solar is charged via micro-usb port. There is a thick silicon cover in the camera that allows the micro-usb cable to plug in, while providing a tight seal against the weather. The cable is long so you can hang the solar panel in a high place to get the sun to charge.

– MOTION DETECTION: There is motion detection in the camera. You can adjust the Detection Sensitivity between 1-10 levels. But the most striking feature that I couldn’t find on other cameras, even the one that uses the same Cloud Edge app, is the ability to select Alarm Area. You can draw areas to have the Motion Detection to only work on specific areas of the frame that you like. This is nice to have if you have the camera pointed to a busy road and you don’t want the motion alarm to notify you every time a car drives by. Just select the area without the road and you’re all set.

– Overall, this is a camera system that’s worth the $90 price it’s asking for (price is at time of review, including all savings). The ability to charge via solar and the ability to select for Motion detection area are just perfect for what I am looking for. Definitely recommended.

This review evaluates the “Wireless Solar Outdoor Security Camera” made by DEKCO.

The product was well protected in its packaging; all components are snugly contained in a form-fitting block. What’s in the box: One (1) Wireless Camera, one (1) solar panel, one (1) solar panel adjustable mount, one (1) micro USB to USB-A to charging cable, two (2) mounting screw templates, one (1) “Warning 24HR Video Surveillance” sticker, two (2) packages of mounting screws, and an owner’s manual.

I ordered two different models of cameras from DEKCO (both solar) and I wanted to test them side-by-side so you will see both cameras in some of the pictures (my review of the other DEKCO is also on Amazon). I mounted both cameras to a 4ft high by 6″ wide piece of plywood and temporarily mounted them on one of my trees in a location of lots of sunlight. This review is the DEKCO camera (model: S01) is the bottom one in the picture.

First impressions: The security camera comes in a small form factor and is light but feels rugged. The camera comes in a matte white finish and looks sleek and modern. The camera is IP65 weatherproof rated and has a grommet where the solar panel cable connects to the camera. The grommet also covers the access panel for the on/off switch, reset button, and microSD card slot. The camera runs off an internal battery that is trickle-charged by the solar panel. All communications with the camera are via your home’s WiFi network (works only with the 2.4GHz WiFi band does NOT support 5GHz WiFi) and can be controlled and monitored using the free CloudEdge App. You have near-total flexibility in mounting this camera because there are no wires to run to your home.

PROTIPS – BEFORE you install the camera in its permanent resting place:

1) Fully charge the battery using the micro USB to USB-A to charging cable (included) and a typical cellphone charging block (not included). It will take many days with the included solar panel to charge a battery that has been significantly drawn down. The panel is only designed to constantly keep the battery topped up from its daily activity.
2) This camera is fully configurable via the CloudEdge App which you MUST download to your cellphone and sign up for a free account. There are no fees to set up an account (email and a password).

Once the battery is fully charged, open your CloudEdge App and it will walk you easily through the set-up and registration of your camera. This set-up is easiest done in close proximity to your WiFi which is why you should set it up inside from the comfort of your easy chair LOL. The App is fairly straightforward and easy to navigate and use supporting multiple DEKCO cameras. There are no hidden fees in the App unless you want the pictures stored in the Cloud instead of the onboard SD card. You are sent real-time notifications via the App when movement is detected (to save battery power, images/video is only taken once movement is detected). There is a microphone that works really well and clear and a speaker that allows you to talk with the person in the picture. The unit also has lights and a siren that can be turned on — I found it loud and annoying so I’m quite content to leave it turned off.

The quality of the pics was great, even at a medium setting on SD. On the higher HD end, the resolution is quite sharp. The camera has Zoom in the sense that you can “pinch-zoom” a picture on your App to read a license plate or see a face in more detail.; that being said, it is pretty clear doing so The night vision is decent for this class of camera.

Some things I didn’t like was the awkwardness of the micro SD slot insertion/removal of the cards. The spring-loaded slot is difficult and you pretty much need a decent fingernail to release it. I can see dropping the tiny card into the outdoor abyss as a distinct possibility I wish you could also delete pictures from the onboard microSD card via the App. Another curious thing (although not a deal-breaker) was this claim by the manufacturer: “The Alerts That Matter: Human detection technology enables home security cameras to intelligently detect body shape. Ensuring you are only alerted when a person, and not a stray cat, approaches” Well, the camera sure had a hay day with my dogs running around LOL I received plenty of notifications of activity only to see my beloved dogs.

I am evaluating this product as part of the Amazon Vine program so I am limited to a 30-day window to submit a review. My experience with this class of camera products (if there are going to be failures/issues) is that they either 1.) Dead on arrival (DOA), 2.) Die within a short period of a week of steady use or 3.) Die after their first harsh Canadian winter. Therefore I am going to monitor this product over the next 8-12 months of use and revise my review should problems arise.

Cost-effectiveness and value: At a current price of $95.99, I feel that this is comparable to competing products and is good value for the quality delivered.

In summary: I was impressed with this product. The “Wireless Solar Outdoor Security Camera” made by DEKCO is compact and well made. The joy in this product is the ability to wirelessly mount it (within the range of your WiFi network) without the need for external power. It is fully featured and configurable via an excellent App from the manufacturer. While this camera won’t replace a high-end wired system, it definitely has a niche and I would recommend this product without reservation.

Pros :
Compact and light.
Sleek and modern looking in a nice matte white finish.
Easy to set up and use.
Wireless hook up — Full flexibility of location install.
No external power needed — trickle charged via a solar panel.
Fully featured and configurable via an excellent App.
Great photo resolution.
Flawlessly transmits photos to your cellphone with real-time notifications via the App.
Store photos on the Cloud (pay service) or use on the onboard microSD card (free).
See, hear and talk. Onboard microphone and speaker to communicate.
Good value for the quality and functionality delivered.

Cons:
Does not include a microSD card.

I am not new to the world of ip cameras I have used a foscam and Wyze v2 camera previously and I have to say the image quality and night vision on this camera out do thise previous cameras I have had. The app is also more responsive and works far more often. With the wyze cam I found that I would have times where the app couldn’t connect to the camera and Id have to keep refreshing but this doesn’t occur with this camera. It was easy to set up, I downloaded the app on my iphone and android phone called cloud edge. I am using it with the solar charger and even though the previous days have been cloudy and we even had freezing rain that covered the solar panel in ice , it still quickly topped the cameras battery up to 100%. The camera has a wide field of view which lets me see a large portion of my property. The default sensitivity for the cameras motion detection is also good it doesn’t constantly go off but if someone walks into the frame I get notified. With my wyze cam I would get alot of false notifications for nothing. I installed an Sd card and can view footage saved and even if I am not on my home wifi network I can check my camera through the app. It has an intercom function so I can speak through the camera if I see someone and also an option to sound a siren. Overall I have to say I am very happy with this camera compared to previous ones I have used and will update this review If I encounter any problems. I would not hesitate to recommend this and would buy a second one if I needed.

This camera system is good, it took all of about 10 minutes to setup including attaching to the wall and the solar cell does add battery life to the unit meaning fewer recharges. The motion detection, wifi and picture are all good and I must admit I am impressed. The app is ok and ideally you should make sure the solar panel is in direct sunlight all day.

For the price I’m very impressed. I was unsure how good it would be, but I’m very happy with it so far.
Links to WiFi easilly and at a good distance.
The app works, motion detection and how it saves images. Also no wires and solar powered is great, it mounts on the shed fine. Buy an sd card as well so it’s got one installed in it.
Night vision is OK as well. I used the solar panel mount for the camera as it seemed a bit firmer, but doesn’t make any difference really, and you caiuls just charge it from usb/powerbank every month if you don’t want to mount the panel.

Overall for the money it’s very good so far.
Not the sharpest of pictures at distance but
Overall a great camera for the price, battery lasts very well.
I’ll be buying a second one.

This is a simple instal as no wires pass from the camera to the house so it’s just a case of mounting it and making sure the solar pannel gets some sun time, video quality is really good and can pick out details just fine, it’s been fine in the rains and so far trouble-free so I give it 5 stars.

This security camera for outdoor works excellent with no any problems. What’s I mostly like that there is solar panel, with this solar panel you will enjoy 365 days a year non stop power, completely free from the hassle of disassembly for charging. With this camera you will be able to see, hear and talk via your phone, has really good option, real time notification when motion is defected. Digital zoom x4. You will be able to look back the past, cloud and micro SD card record and save videos those captured by your DEKCO cam. You can download the videos and review them anytime and anywhere. You will find and locate to the specific motion event quickly and never miss a thing. You can even share this camera with your family, just scan a code or search account on the App to share the cam, they will be able to remote control and check.
Good value for money I can easily say. Great quality. Highly recommend.
