Great all-round wireless camera!

I've been looking for a wireless camera with a solar panel for a long time. Read many reviews. This ticks all the boxes. I already have another COOAU camera that works great. It has a larger capacity battery, which means fewer charges. The night vision is pretty clear as you can see from the photos. I always set motion detection low so I don't get false alarms and save battery life. The connection to the solar panel is a bit short, so it needs to be installed close to the camera, which may be difficult for some. The Wi-Fi signal is strong 55-60 feet from my router, so external antennas seem to help. The app is easy to set up and easy to use. Adding additional cameras is easy. I added an SD card so no cloud subscription is required. Remember to format your SD card to FAT32, otherwise the camera will not be able to read it. Most SD cards have exFAT by default. Can't wait to see how long the batteries last with a backup solar panel and will update my review when I have a better idea of that performance. So far I am very satisfied and would buy again at any time.
