- Does it need direct sunlight to work?
- The solar panel charges the battery, so it works best with several hours of direct sun. In shade or long cloudy spells you will need to take the camera down and charge it by USB.
- Does it record all the time?
- No. It records clips when the motion sensor triggers, to a microSD card or the cloud. There is no continuous 24/7 recording.
- What Wi-Fi does it need?
- It connects on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only. It will not join a 5GHz-only network, so check your router has a 2.4GHz band.
- Can I talk through it?
- Yes. It has a built-in speaker and microphone for two-way audio from the app.
- Is it fully wireless?
- Yes. The camera runs on its rechargeable battery and the solar panel charges it, so no power cable is needed. You only need Wi-Fi in range.
- Where should I mount it?
- Mount it within Wi-Fi range and with the solar panel facing the sun. Keep it high enough to avoid tampering and angle it away from busy branches to cut false alerts.
- Where is the Hiseeu Solar Battery Security Camera 4MP cheapest?
