ieGeek 2K Solar Camera Wireless Outdoor,2.4GHz Only for Home Security,2Pack

My first purchase of three cameras was in August 2024 and based on the recommendation from a friend. I did not leave feedback right away because I wanted to try them first and make sure they were efficient. The cameras I find to be more convenient for me are the ones with the solar panel backup. They are so easy to set up and connect to a device right out of the box. All cords are included. I let the cameras fully charge one at a time before installing them on the back perimeter of my home. If there is a lot of movement and a camera is capturing snapshots all day (I live on a busy street), the battery will last 3-5 days before I need to recharge it. The solar panel placed correctly will continuously charge the battery without me ever having to remove the camera again. These three cameras have worked so well capturing a burglar trying to sneak into my back yard (review photos). I was able to send clips to the police with the date and time stamps. Cameras cover a wide view and provide great day/night vision with color accuracy. There is a speaker, light, and alarm option if needed. I have since ordered two more cameras recently to cover the front perimeter of my home. I am very pleased with my purchases.

took a little time to connect cameras through home network. you must use a 2.4Ghz wireless connection to work properly, otherwise setup was quick and easy. signal strength, clarity and user functions are great. iGeek Cam App is pretty good. would highly recommend.

update: It’s been about a month now, and I’ve noticed a few issues that made me hold off from buying more of this same brand/model. First of all, I noticed it was ignoring cars and animals - but that was a quick fix, once I realized I needed to turn off human detection day/night in the settings for each camera. I assumed human detection meant “do you also want to watch out for humans?” but it actually means “do you only want to watch for humanoids?” so disabling that fixed it & I found my first skunk. But that said, the motion detection is spotty, even when I have max sensitivity turned up and adaptive sensitivity turned off (so multiple exposures won’t reduce its triggers). Sometimes it misses a flock or large birds walking 10’ away. Sometimes it doesn’t pick me or other people up until we’re already in the middle of the frame. I have it pointed at a large meadow to capture any predators stalking our fowl, but it can’t even see our birds or dog in the meadow 30’ away, completely clear, and it’s not because the grass is too high or the birds are too small. Because the dog is huge. If there was a bear 30’ away, we’d never know. I sat here this morning and watched the flock come within 20’ and finally 10’ out of that field toward the camera, cranked up to max sensitivity in broad daylight, zero cover, and it didn’t pick up a thing. Can’t see turkeys, geese, or dogs, let alone chickens. Sometimes it picks up the chickens, but it seems almost arbitrary - I think it may relate to how fast something is moving? So anything creeping cautiously around doesn’t get seen at all. Including me before I’ve had my coffee; I slide right under its radar, as though it had mythical t-rex vision. This is not helpful if you’re trying to detect creatures that are slowly sneaking! Foxes, raccoons, skunks, ninjas… I say it’s arbitrary because it often misses frenzied movement right in the chicken yard, even if it hasn’t recently been triggered, but sometimes detects the faintest movement through wire outside of the chicken yard in the shade! It’s thus been tough to adapt to its limitations. And tough to trust, which defeats the purpose to a large extent. This sort of monitoring is intended to buy you peace of mind but when it’s so unreliable, it may lead to damning false reassurances that could cost the lives of your livestock. Because of this, I’ll keep shopping for another project for the next batch of cameras. original: Have been using the 2 solar cameras for a week now. Install was turnkey, the app seems to work well, battery life is impressive & the image quality is fantastic. I love that the app allows for easy screenshots & motion settings are very customizable. Sensitivity seems good, from numerous tests, haven’t noticed it missing any human activity - though it doesn’t always notice birds at dusk. I may have had my sensitivity too low. Worth noting is that AI detection is an additional subscriber service, but it’s a few bucks a month & includes extended cloud storage if you want that. So far, I’m very happy with the free 6s/vid cloud storage included with purchase & the microsd slot. You will need to buy microSDs. I got 2 from Amazon Basics on a killer deal & have been pleased with that to date (will update this review if anything changes). Just remember to format the cards before trying to record. Conveniently, you can do that through the app, but you’ll need to go to “History” to access video recordings first to get the prompt to format remotely. Night vision is reasonably good. There’s a light on the camera itself, which helps, if needed, but you know, it’s not a slam dunk. Night video is a challenge even with a very high end professional commercial camera for production work, so the quality of this is about as good as you could ask for without shelling out several hundred bucks, and even then; I don’t think the quality would be much better. I’ve worked in the camera industry for a long time, have been spoiled with high end equipment, and this still meets my standards & expectations, for whatever that’s worth. The long & short is, if you want a better image, add more lights. Security lights. There’s a very nice feature with the app that tells you the wifi signal strength at the location before you install the camera, and likewise tells you the strength in realtime at any given moment you’re accessing it remotely. In general, I’ve seen low latency & moderate lag (it does take about ~5 seconds to load a live view) but this may have more to do with ISP/location & less to do with the camera itself. Overall, I did a lot of research before picking this one and fortunately it seems to have been worth the time. Lastly, I can’t comment on the efficacy of the weather sealing yet as we haven’t had any harsh weather since the install. Will wait to see how it handles rain & snow before ordering more. I guess that will be an update for later, ir I remember…

So is easy to setup with cameras, no hassle at all. Installing the cameras was just as easy. Took me a little bit of playing with the motion detection system to get it where I wanted but is a good product for the price. I got 2 cameras with solar panels.

These cameras are garbage. First of all, let’s start with the fact that this crap only records up to 30 seconds and not a second more, which in my honest opinion is the most frustrating part of it all. To add insult to injury, these cameras also take FOREVER to load on their stupid app. If I didn’t go through the entire process of getting a ladder and setting it up, I would’ve returned it immediately. It is an entire waste of money and I will be getting new ones in the future. These things are so cheaply made it’s embarrassing to even say you own one. At this point, since they are incredibly slow, they act as decorative objects on my house. Useless. Save your money and invest in something with better quality that loads when you press it.

I picked up this 2-pack of solar cameras mainly to keep tabs on my chickens and their run, and honestly, they’ve been fantastic. The motion detection is spot-on – it catches any movement, so I always know if something’s happening, day or night. I also love that it’ll turn on a light or even sound an alarm if I want it to, which has been awesome for keeping any critters away at night. It also has a microphone so if you needed to talk you can. The app is very solid and easy to navigate. Installation was super easy. My husband helped but I could’ve done it myself no problems. The battery life is insane. With the solar panels, I never worry about them dying on me, even with cloudy weather. These cameras are practically self-sustaining! I’ve purchased these in May and it’s October and I’ve maybe charged 2-3 times. What’s even better is the quality of the video feed. Checking in on the chickens anytime I want gives me peace of mind, and the app makes it easy to see what’s going on. Now I’m thinking about adding a few more around my property because they’ve been so reliable. All in all, if you’re looking for a dependable, solar-powered camera setup to keep an eye on animals or property, I highly recommend these! Definitely worth every penny – might be my best purchase yet!

So these take nice pictures but the rest send subpar to other cameras. The recordings are too short and have a lag to capture the event. Despite changing sensitivity multiple times, I cannot find a happy spot between capturing real movement (ppl, cars, animals) and not capturing shadows from sun and clouds. I cannot easily pause notifications or recordings easily. I turn them off then lose my settings, unlike other apps. The app is my least favorite and there is an intense buffer time with consistent failure. I put a different camera in the same location and the video loads instantly, the app is user friendly and recording time is more flexible and allows a longer rangw.

These wireless cameras are just what we were looking for! Set up was so easy and the app is very easy to use. The cameras work even better than we expected and we have had no issues. Will be buying more in the future.
