Title: AOSU 5MP Solar Security Cameras
Review: These cameras work great and they come with all you need to set them up. Instructions are easy to follow. Charge them up before mounting and it's like they'll never die because my solar panels aren't getting the best sunlight, but they're staying at 100%. It's like they train themselves also because I put one up on a tree next to my house and it wasn't detecting us going in and out of our door. So, I thought that I might have put it too high or too far away, but I did some measuring and it was within the limits so I left it. The next day (or maybe that night, I forget) it was detecting all of us, the animals, and vehicles. I mean, I did move it from one spot to another so the camera was probably like, "quit moving me around". Look no further, these are the cameras you need to buy and plus they have awesome CS. I had a question one time so I called them and they're very helpful.

Title: Love These Security Cameras
Review: If you want an easy to use security camera with good resolution, then these AOSU Cameras are for you. The Home Base connects to your Router, and you then connect each camera to the Home Base. It is easy to use and the pictures come out clear and concise. I could even see a rabbit running around by the gate. A friend of mine recommended these cameras and I sure am glad he did. They actually provide a lot of entertainment watching what goes on outside.I had one camera that did not work right, and I contacted the Support Team, and Lynnette at the AOSU Support Team sent me out another camera. I was able to connect the new camera and it is working like a charm. Thank you Lynnette for your fast service.

Title: Great Buy! No Subscription, Solar-Powered, and Super Easy to Install
Review: I've had the Aosu 5MP Security Outdoor Camera for a while now, and I have to say, I'm really impressed. One thing I love is that there's no subscription neededâjust set it up, and you're good to go. No hidden costs or monthly fees, which is a big win in my book. You can monitor Solar cameras, Doorbell, Indoor cameras all under a single app. You also get push notifications that are contextual to the event too.The absolute best part is that it's solar-powered. Installation was a total breezeâno need to mess with wires or worry about finding a power source. I just mounted it where I wanted, set up the solar panel, and it's been working perfectly ever since.However, I got an additional mount from Amazon, I installed it in my gutter and I could mount both the camera and solar simultaneously hiding all the wires.I was actually considering some other pricier, big-name brands, but after doing some research, I decided to give Aosu a shot. Honestly, I'm so glad I did! The video quality is super sharp. Ensure your camera hub is closer to the WiFi.**Pros:**- **No Subscription Required:** No monthly fees, which saves money in the long run.- **Solar-Powered:** Easy installation with no need for wiring or finding a power source.- **Good Video Quality:** Clear and sharp 5MP footage.- **Reliable Motion Detection:** Works well in most situations.**Cons:**- Motion-Activated Recording Only: It only records when motion is detected, and occasionally it might miss something. Not a huge issue, but worth noting.

Title: Not Perfect, But, Well Worth the Money...so far
Review: This product arrived extremely quickly, and all components were present and functional/undamaged in the box.It wasn't easy finding an outdoor security camera system that has all the features I was looking for:1. doesn't require professional installation,2. doesn't include a costly subscription,3. includes local video storage - an easily accessed hard drive in my home,4. doesn't need a hard wired power supply or periodic battery replacements.I wasn't expecting one product to fulfill all these requirements, particularly at this low price, as this one does.It was helpful to read other reviews before making my purchase. My expectations were realistically restrained, which made some frustrations a bit more palatable. For instance, I knew it would be easier to install by downloading the Aosu App before beginning. Also, there appears to be zero reason to buy this system if you don't have a recent smartphone. I downloaded the Aosu App to my Mac, but, it is extremely limited; it does not give me full functionality and contains some weird glitches. YOU MUST HAVE A SMARTPHONE AND GOOD WI-FI to fully make use of this system.The 4 cameras were already holding a 50% battery charge upon delivery. This was a good thing, because it allowed me to check that they functioned normally on the App before mounting them outside.Installation was very straightforward, and relatively simple. Installing the home base was simple, and Wi-Fi connecting the cameras was completely trouble-free. All 4 cameras connected easily and maintain their connections to the home base without a hitch.I have 2 cameras facing the street, plus one toward my front door, and one at the rear of the house. There is good news and bad news about the images from these cameras. The good news is that the field of view is exceptionally wide, easily allowing cross-camera images from the 2 street facing cameras, and a view of my side gate and the back of the house appearing on screen with the rear camera. The bad news is the trade-off - there is considerable "fish-eye" distortion in the image. Also, even at a distance of about 30 feet, resolution is so bad, that reading license plates or identifying details of any vehicle or faces is near impossible. This is the newest version of this system, using 5G instead of 2.4G, as the older one did. Aosu claims enhanced resolution, but, I find it is pretty bad. This is one of the trade-offs I was expecting.Without going into too much detail, I must say that App is not very intuitive, and it takes some time to get used to the many commands necessary to find every menu or the countless settings included with the App. Also, not every feature works the first time when I use the touchscreen on my phone. Sometimes it is necessary to reload or reverse the commands to get to a previous menu, before it allows me to interact with the one I'm trying to work with. Some of the nicest features, like 2-way audio and adjustment for alarm and notifications, don't work as easily or as completely as I had hoped. So far, the alarms and night lighting features work well. Thankfully, the cameras' alarms, and App/phone notifications can be silenced or adjusted. I have already discovered that not all events are recorded. There were 4 separate events, last night, that should have triggered recordings, but I only found 3. I'm not sure what the minimum time-on-camera is required to trigger a recording or alarm. There is a real-time delay of about a full second between the camera and the phone App.I like that the battery levels can appear on the home screen. You must choose this option in settings, but nothing is easy to find. Adding an additional user was easy enough.I saw that some users had no trouble with this camera system until after a few days or weeks had passed. I will report back in 6 months, or if problems develop earlier.

Review: The setup with this product was incredibly easy, from actual mounting to interface with my network.The ease of use with this product once set up, canât be understated. It performs exactly as advertised and is seamless.However, 3 months into use, one camera completely stopped working. After trying to diagnose/fix the problem with Customer Support it was decided to send me a brand new camera. I wasnât even asked to return the old one! Within a few days I received the replacement and itâs now up and running. This is what I look for when purchasing important products; proper customer support and service.I would highly recommend this product and the company itself.

Review: Super easy install, solar charging works well and is enough to keep it topped up, even in indirect sunlight. Night vision is good and the AI works well, filters out animals/wind movement etc. and leaves only humans. Love having this to easily check on the house when away etc., great product.

Review: Had some issues getting these to addon to the current system.Contacted then through the chat in the app...it took quite a few trouble shooting items to get to it. They sent a link to a video that walked me through it and it was resolved.The product itself is also excellent...app is good.Battery life is very dependent of course on how often it's triggered....but it's reasonable, I'll have to charge them one every 3 months or so based on what I've seen so far, but a couple might be every 6 or more as they don't trigger often.
