Autel Solar Wireless Security Cameras (4-Cam Kit)

This review is for Autel Solar Security Cameras Wireless Outdoor, 2K Color Night Vision, Solar Powered, Expandable Local Storage, No Monthly Fee, AI Cameras for Home Security System (4-Cam Kit).The price at the time of the review was $254.00.I really like the compact design and the integrated solar panel, which makes these cameras easy to set up without worrying about constant recharging. Installation was straightforward. Just a few screws and they were ready to go. The 2K color night vision provides clear footage even in low light, and the AI motion detection with floodlights and alarms adds extra peace of mind. Local storage up to 4TB means no subscription fees, and I appreciate that the system works both online and offline with HDMI output. The ability to monitor multiple areas at once and use voice control with Alexa or Google Assistant makes this kit versatile and user-friendly. So far, it’s a reliable and well-designed security solution for outdoor use.

Installation was quick and easy. The cameras and the solar panels connected easily to the app, clicked right into the mounting brackets, and the signal strength was consistent throughout my yard. I tested the color night vision function after dark and could see car details and people’s faces under the streetlight. Notifications were prompt to my phone, and the app has tons of features to fine-tune them. I didn’t need to deal with any cloud storage plans since all motion clips were stored locally without issue. Not only that, but the battery life is forever because it is solar-powered. My area does not get much sun, but it seems like this camera does not require much. This is a very nice camera for those looking for a quick and seamless setup. Works right out of the box, excellent value.

The fact there is no subscription required for these cameras is beyond amazing. I was looking at a similar solution for security and everything I was able to find was much more expensive. The picture quality on these is perfect. I'm not trying to make a movie on these, just keep my property secure. The night vision actually does extremely well in my opinion. Setup was very straight forward and I had these up and running in under an hour. Battery life is good so far, I've never had them die or run low. The solar panel seems to do a good job. They stay connected the the hub even on the other side of my house without any issue. Live streaming is very simply and I love that I was able to use an existing app I already have to monitor the cameras. The only issue I had was using an SD card. In the future I will be upgrading to an SSD. All around I was impressed with everything including the price.

Such an excellent product with a beautiful and practical design. All parts in the kit, including the cameras, the base, and cables/accessories, are in premium quality. The hardware and software are well integrated and very easy to set up. I used the wireless method -- simply connect the included mouse to the base and connect the base's HDMI output to a monitor or TV, power it on, and it will start the process for basic settings, wifi, adding cameras, and connecting the app.All went smoothly except it took me some time to figure out where the power button is -- such a tiny button with a rubber cover. But once I powered the camera on, it automatically synced with the base and connected to the wifi network. The camera resolution is great. You can monitor them on the home base screen or use the app once it's connected to the base, which is quite a convenience feature without subscription!The base supports storage via a SD/TF slot and a central, bigger slot for a SSD or hard drive. I don't have a spare SSD drive so for now I use a 32 GB SD to test it. The base recognized it as an unformatted card initially and after I allowed it to reformat the SD, it works nicely. Will definitely get a TB SSD drive for long-term storage. Each camera also comes with a slot for TF/SD storage but I haven't tested it yet.The mounting accessories appear to be of great quality too. Though I'm still trying to figure out where and how to mount the cameras securely. Will have to see how well the batteries with solar panels will hold up -- I'll probably connect them to a USB outlet for those installed on the shady side, as I don't think they will get enough charging.All in all, an excellent product with no subscription to have easy access to four security cameras!
