ANRANSecurity Camera Wireless Outdoor, 2K Solar Outdoor Camera with 360° View, Smart Siren, Spotlights, Color Night Vision, PIR Human Detection, Pan Tilt Control, 2-Way Talk, IP65, Q1 White

Edit:After more time has passed, I'm increasing my rating. this thing is a solid camera option at a reasonable price. I adjusted some settings and the motion detection seems to be working well now. We have a lot of wildlife, including deer, that are on the property every night. It's yet to trigger for animals or cars, so seems like the humanoid detection works well. It has triggered for a hanging planter I have near the camera when it gets windy and the planter swings into the area. In fairness, it is a round planter that could resemble a head shape, so no really complaint there. I could just move the planter but it's rare that it triggers from it. The wind has to really be strong.**** Original belowI've only had the camera up for a couple of days. Will modify the review if any changes are noted over time.The camera came well packaged and with nice installation guide stickers that were very helpful making it much easier to install. Set up was fairly easy although I had some trouble getting the camera to read the QR code on my Galaxy ZFold 3 with the screen open. I had to close the large display and it read it nearly instantly from the small display. Setting it up took a little longer than actually hanging the camera and the solar panel. The power and reset buttons near the micro SD card slot are marked as to what they are, but hard to see which is which. I had to refer the the picture on the user manual as I just couldn't make out the tiny white on white markings. If you have good vision, maybe that won't be an issue.The picture quality is very clear, even at night without the led lights or other outside lights on. My only complaint is motion detection so far seems a bit hit or miss. It spotted me fine leaving my house, but not when I came home. I do walk toward the camera from where I park, which the manual indicates it won't pick up, but eventually I turn and I'm at an angle to the camera. It doesnt always pick up that movement, unfortunately. That's the likely pathway of whatever serial killer would be coming to my house. However, there's no other angle I could place the camera and still pick up that area.So far, no animals or cars have been picked up by the motion detector, which is a pro and a con. It's a pro because with all the creatures around me, notifications would go off all the time. It's a con because I also want to see the cute animals like hogs and coyotes (and actual cute animals) that often come around. I wish there was a setting to record motion but only notify if a "humanoid" is detected.So far, the battery has been impressive and the included solar panel seems to charge it right back up in the morning. No complaints there. I'm in a rural area, so there aren't a lot of triggers which may prolong that battery life compared to other users. That said, since it's a new device, we've been checking the live view a lot and such.It was also fairly easy to connect to my Google home environment and share the camera with others in my household. For some reason though, I had to reset my password as it kept saying my credentials were wrong. This was immediately following setting up my account and logging in fine through the CloudEdge app. Not a big deal, but caused a bit of WTF during set up.Cloud storage is very affordable for this device starting at about $2.99/mo. for the lowest plan at the time of this posting. A full year of 7 day overwriting cloud storage is only $50 if paid for a full year. You are not required to use for storage though. The camera did have a micro SD slot (supporting up to 128GB card, only).As mentioned, I do wish there were different motion detection features. I'd rate this 5 stars if I were more confident in the motion detection. I'm going to try turning the sensitivity up from the default for a while and see how that goes.

These are good solar cameras. Put one up about a year ago still working great. Has a good wifi range. Just put up 4 more for a friend. Easy install and great performance for the price.

My grandparents wanted this camera, it is good, but they call me a lot when the notifications just stop, or when the video recording does not play, even when the card is new and only used 1G out of 16, The camera itself is awesome, but the app needs work, it is slow to work with even with encryption off, it takes like 40sec to just view a video that is like 15sec long, sometimes it don't play at all but just shows a picture. The worst part is anyone can delete the camera, which will require you to redo the steps to get it running, it is soooo easy to delete the camera and change settings for someone who does not have the complete control profile. But other than the app, the camera itself is awesome, and clear with good view angles, good night vision, and easy installation, I just wish the app was better.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\/ \/ \/ \\\Update, Feb 26, 2024///: \/ \/ \/The camera itself is still good, and the base app still is not good, However, Their customer service is amazing with them giving me suggestions on what to do, they asked to change the SD card, this did not work, but I can see how it would help some people, then they ask me to get the (Cloud Edge) app instead, this is soooo much better, it is faster and I can see my recording.Note, for my experience of using Cloud Edge these past months, it shows that this app is better, but it is still slow when getting the history when you are away, at least I can get it with this app, which is way better than before where I could not get anything, the main video works better as it is just faster with Cloud Edge, and my grandparents all agreed on that.Overall, if you are having connection problems, check the SD card, try the Cloud Edge app, or call customer support to get your device checked for free. We are more happy with the Cloud Edge app, so we will rate this better due to the amazing help from Anran to fix the issue.

Easy setup. Picture quality is much better than expected. Documentation could be better explaining the features.UPDATE: 3 days laterAfter using the Q1 for a few days, it is AWESOME. I have 12 Wyze and 1 Reolink at my house, the Q1 blows them away for quality, features, and price as well I installed this on a commercial building as I wanted a large camera as a deterrent. This camera looks professional and not like a toy mounted on the building. As mentioned earlier, documentation is lacking, even online, but the app is easy to figure out. I like the Q1 so well, I ordered the K2 yesterday for the back of the building. The antennas to receive wifi is really a plus compared to my other brand of cameras. The Anron is mounted on a concrete building with a metal roof, is receiving a 72% signal. Other cameras were not stable enough in that location to use without dropping the signal. The night vision is better than any camera I own and a must for a commercial building that is vacant at night. Faces are crystal clear...a must for the Police to be able to press charges. This camera will blow any of the brand name cameras out of the water for price and quality.Elimination of vehicles for notification is a must for a commercial building, but they are still on the SD card to enlarge and get a license plate number if a person gets out of the vehicle. My other cameras, vehicle elimination is so bad, people getting out of the car are not even seen.

I own horses and needed a way to watch my horses at night. Which is why I purchased these cameras in the first place. They have a very easy to use app, set up is super easy, and I love that I never have to charge them as they are solar powered! The image quality is outstanding I can see everything I need to even at night without interfering with the horses. I like these cameras so much that I actually ordered more to put around my house. The 360 feature is incredible. I have tried other Q versions and the Q1 is by far the best. Q3 has a nice slick mounting feature but it's night vision isn't as good. Highly recommend the Anran Q1 camera for anyone looking for a camera!
