- Does it need Wi-Fi?
- Yes. It connects to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, and the app needs that connection to send alerts and live video.
- How long does the battery last?
- With steady sun the panel keeps it charged. In shade or heavy alert use, expect to recharge it every few weeks.
- Does it record without a subscription?
- Yes. It records to a microSD card, so you avoid a monthly cloud plan, though cloud storage is also offered.
- Can it see in the dark?
- It has infrared night vision, but owners say the picture is soft and best for spotting movement rather than reading faces.
- Is it fully weatherproof?
- Aosu markets it for outdoor use, but no IP rating is stated, so mount it under an eave where rain hits it less.
- What is in the box?
- One camera, the solar panel, a mounting bracket and screws, and a charging cable. A microSD card is not included.
- Where is the Aosu Solar Wireless Outdoor Security Camera System 3MP cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $229.99, as of our latest check.
