Which is better for a yard with no power outlet?

The C675D Kit. Its solar panel and 10,000 mAh battery run it without wiring, while the C560WS needs a DC adapter at the mount.

Which has the better picture?

The C560WS. Both record 4K, but it runs at 25 fps versus 15 fps, so motion looks smoother, and it adds Wi-Fi 6 and Ethernet.

Is the C675D Kit worth the extra over the C560WS?

Only if wiring is a problem. The C675D Kit has sold for $180.00 to $199.99; compare that with the C560WS's live price, since the solar and battery hardware is what you pay for.

Which lasts longer outdoors?

The C560WS is rated IP66 versus IP65 for the C675D, so it handles heavier rain and dust. The C675D's weak point in buyer reports is the charging cable, not the camera body.

Do either need a subscription?

No. Both do AI detection on the device for free and record to microSD; cloud storage is optional on both.

Which covers more of a driveway?

The C675D Kit, with a 165° view plus a telephoto lens that tracks across 360°. The C560WS pans 360° but its lens is 88° horizontal.

Pick the C675D Kit if you cannot run power to the camera spot: its solar panel and 10,000 mAh battery keep it running without an outlet, and the second telephoto lens auto-tracks motion across 360°. Pick the C560WS if an outlet is within reach and you want the sharpest, smoothest picture: 25 fps, Wi-Fi 6, Ethernet, and IP66. The C675D Kit has ranged from $180.00 (November 1) to $199.99 (October 29); no current price was supplied for the C560WS, so check its live price before deciding.
