I have tested plenty of cameras similar to this one but for the current price of just .£32.99 this one stands out.

Why do I like it so much?
Battery Life - the built in solar powered battery has never dropped to less than 90% even throughout the dark UK winter.
The app allows full control of the camera and can download recordings from the camera to the phone.
No limitations on recording or annoying attempts to sell the Cloud storage option.
Reliable. I installed this camera six months ago and have not yet needed to attend to it.
External charging port - it can be topped up by an external solar panel or USB power source.
Decent quality 2304x1296@15fps video with audio

In the mid market product box, I received the camera, charging cable, Wall mount with fitting kit, and a well written and easy to follow user guide. Build quality is lightweight but decent quality, with nothing looking likely to fail or fall off any time soon.

The IP65 waterproof camera is 114 x 91 x 57 mm and weighs just 480g. Covering the whole top is the built-in solar panel, on the front are the lens, microphone, infrared LEDs, status LED, and power LED. On the underside is the speaker and grommet protected bay housing the On/Off switch, reset switch and USB-C power in port. On the rear is the metal mounting screw hole for the supplied wall mount or any standard tripod mount.

The camera has a built in rechargeable battery powered from the solar panel but there is a USB-C charging port can be used to connect an external solar panel or for a manual top up from any USB outlet, but I have to say I have never needed to use it.

The camera uses the Wansview app and with it you can configure the camera, monitor and record live video, and download recorded video to your phone. The camera has motion detection to initiate recordings and this can be set to a schedule or 24/7 operation with infrared night vision or spotlight night operation with an optional siren. There is an image zone mode, so motion detection can be active in select areas only. The camera can record audio and there is a two way talkback option. The app can be linked to Alexa or Google voice control and fully integrated into your home network.

Video quality is good - but is better on brighter days or when using night vision or the spotlight - at 2304x1296@15fps. 4K would be better but for the price you cannot grumble.

If you need a reliable fire and forget video camera for outdoor use, for the low price this has to be a good buy.
