Cinnado 2K Solar CCTV Camera Systems - Security Camera Outdoor Wireless, 2P

Have had front and back cctv now for over a year and I'm pleased with it they are solar powered and the pictures are clear and it's easy to use and good value !

Working perfectly fine. Battery seems good. Good value for money, motion detection perfect, recordings are great, struggled initially with Internet connection due to my own fault but the team spent the whole weekend guiding me through every step. Easy to setup. Thank you.

Very easy to set up and install with no wires just the solar panel. Very easy to control and the video quality is very good.

The camera are great good picture quality when working only downside is that the battery dose not charge enough by solar panel provided with the cameras need to take it off and recharge by mains supply after few days. So technically not fit for the purpose for hassle free operation need to get ladder to take it off and recharge then stick it back on I don't know if I have got the doggy one or the solar panel is not powerful enough to recharge battery. By the way I am using this in Pakistan and it's 41c every day with bright sunshine for at least 10 hours a day

It works very good all when you travel it still works 100%

Easy to install and set up on the app. Great picture quality and the ability to rotate the camera is ideal for what we need Highly recommend

Product is good quality. Easy to set up very good picture, Solar ok But only time will tell as at the moment we have beautiful sunshine so it’s difficult to know for sure until the weather drops a , The reason for giving three stars is because it seems to miss what’s going on it picks up small things like birds and butterflies and pans ok but misses the obvious such as people can walk in front of it and it doesn’t move or follow them. I’ve had several rings at my doorbell and when I have checked the CCTV. It hasn’t seen this person coming down the drive or seen this person in anyway I just may get a single moment sometimes of somebody as they go out the gate but nothing significant of them coming down the drive who they are to recognise them or see anything I’ve tried myself by walking past it and under it and it doesn’t move so it has limited usage. The times I need it to be used is to pick up human beings coming down the drive or in my garden Not bird spiders, butterflies etc It seems to miss big things and does not pan on them at all. after using these I report the battery life is appalling. It’s a couple of days in the bright weather the solar panel just about keeps it going but one keeps switching itself off and having terrible trouble trying to reconnect it personally I’m not happy with this and there doesn’t seem an obvious way of returning the faulty one for a replacement, probably a static camera, would be work much better as this seems to pan things you don’t want and misses all the vital things that you do want to catch, not a good experience although really easy to set up maybe if the company reads this you might like to send me a replacement for the one that doesn’t work. I can’t say it’s a good experience so far.

This cameras are well worth the money very good easy to set up very impressed with them

I've had this 2-pack up for about 3 weeks now - one covering my driveway/garage and one on the back fence facing the yard. For the price, these are seriously impressive. What I LOVE: 1. True wireless + solar actually works. I was so tired of running wires. These were up in like 10 minutes each - stick the template, drill 2 screws, click the camera in, plug in the little solar panel. Both of mine have stayed at 95-100% even with a couple cloudy days in Oklahoma. The 5000mAh backup battery is legit. No more ladder to recharge every week like my old Blink. 2. Picture is REALLY good for the price. It's listed as 2K (2304x1296p) and you can tell. Daytime is crisp enough to read a license plate from about 20ft. The 360° PTZ from the app is smooth - I can pan from my garage door all the way to the side gate without moving the camera physically. 3. Night vision is color, not that creepy gray. It has 3 modes - I keep mine on Smart mode. If it sees a person, the spotlight pops on and you get full color night vision. Otherwise it stays in infrared. My garage cam caught a raccoon at 2am in full color, clear as day. Spotlight is bright enough to be a deterrent on its own. 4. AI detection is way less annoying. I set human-only detection and sensitivity to Medium. I'm not getting alerts every time a branch moves anymore. When it does detect, the instant alert hits my phone in under 3 seconds, with a snapshot. The auto-tracking on this version actually follows - my driveway cam followed my delivery driver from the truck to the porch. Not perfect, but way better than static. 5. No forced subscription. It takes up to 128GB SD card (not included) and I have both cams recording locally. There's cloud too with a 30-day free trial, but you don't need it. Works with Alexa - "Alexa, show garage camera" pops up on my Echo Show. What to know before you buy: • 2.4GHz Wi-Fi ONLY. It will NOT connect to 5Ghz. I had to make sure my phone was on the 2.4 band during setup. Once it's on, it's stable though. • Not 24/7 recording. These are battery cameras, so they record on motion events to save power. If you want constant recording, this isn't it. For farm/garage security on motion, it's perfect. • App is a little basic. The Cinnado app (uses UBox I think) does everything you need - live view, playback, siren/light, 2-way talk - but it's not as polished as Ring/Nest. 2-way audio has a slight delay. Bottom line: If you need affordable, no-wiring cameras for a farm, garage, barn, or big yard, this 2-pack is a steal. I bought them to watch my garage and back acreage without paying an electrician, and they do exactly that. The solar keeps them alive, the color night vision is great, and I finally stopped getting 50 false alerts a day. Would I buy again? Yes - already thinking about adding the 2 more for the sides of the house. Tip: Mount the solar panel where it gets at least 4-5 hours of direct sun, not under an eave. And do a full Type-C charge before first install - it calibrates the battery percentage better.

The feature I like the most is the motion activation. It's so convenient to be able to go directly to the incident without having to Fumble through a bunch of files and files. Or watch endless hours or fast forward endless hours of no activity. When the motion alert is activated that's what you truly want to be recording. You can store videos on the micro SD card can be set to run as long as motion continues. That's a nice option because I do not like to pay the monthly fees just to see my recording. But furthermore I run it through my NVR that way I don't need to use my phone and I can view it with my other security cameras. and when necessary it is easy to access using the app. With self-explanatory features. and videos can be downloaded to your phone. Motion detection works very well where my cameras are positioned. I like the ability to be able to turn the IR infrared function for night on and off manually. Night Vision Works just as it should. The two-way audio is also very convenient as I have one position near my front door. That gives me the ability to talk to delivery men or not answer the door if it's a Salesman. The pan and tilt features are very smooth. But I think the most convenient part of the whole installation was not having to run or install any wiring. The most wiring I had to do was plug a USB cable into the camera that comes out of a solar panel. The solar panels that are included I have had no trouble with batteries. They keep the batteries fully charged at all times even through several cloudy days. The rest of the time if the clouds aren't out I am in direct full sunlight the entire day the way that I have the panel mounted. I purchased a two camera system that came with the two cameras two solar panels and also included the mounting hardware. I like the other option where apart screws onto the wall and then the camera clicks on to that base that you screw onto the wall. It gives you the ability to Quick snap the camera off unplug the USB cable so you can clean the lens before reinstalling it to the base. Make the maintenance as I call it cleaning the camera lens a breeze. Satisfied with the 2K resolution as because that's what I expected. Cameras are built well seem to be built out of Quality Parts and with my particular system and app I have no issues no bugs very satisfied. Hopefully this is helpful for anybody else. As to if I have any problems in the future I will update this review. This being the second time I've purchased this brand of cameras I also have the D1 cameras and I'm extremely satisfied with those too and have had those several months now. Thank You Cinnado for another great product to secure what's most important to me, My Family! All of the features that come included with the camera all work flawlessly including the application. Set up is a breeze I had mine set up in under 3 minutes. Plug it in download the app the camera talks to you and says the scan the QR code on it automatically configures itself to the Wi-Fi. A few moments later you're watching live video on your screen. Customer service is some of the best customer service I think I've ever had the opportunity to speak with. Efficient courteous professional and had the answers I needed without having to put me on hold. Another feature I would like to see is higher resolution cameras, or megapixel cameras. And lastly optical zoom possibly 12 times opposed to four times. Some of my other cameras have 30 times optical zoom. And There's No Going Back once you witness the clarity. And knowing you have the ability to read a business card from 100 yards through a camera. These are just some improvements I'm suggesting. Things to be offered on future cameras that are often a deciding factor whether somebody will purchase or not.. Will they integrate into a system they are currently using? One way to do that universally quickly and without extensive knowledge is by using an open source program called OnVif. The majority of CCTV or security cameras usually include the software in their Hardware Giving that ease to integrate with pre-existing equipment that is also OnVif equipped.

What to like/dislike, and what was the product used for? (Per this section). First some tips: Charge it first before finishing assembly to place outdoors. Know that the solar panel worked flawlessly so far with 70 motion alerts per day for 2 weeks from mostly critters coming for food or to play. Making a simple bracket to mount the device to before affixing it to a more permanent area saved for excessive readjusting at the top of a ladder. (Situational, depends where one wishes to place it). Came in white but certainly paintable for blending in if one so chooses. Pros: +Once placed and if sunlight, used minimal power OR charges bk up quick. Unsure which or if another factor entirely but zero issues with battery life so far. +simple to setup when mounting, just 3 screws. +simple to login to app and adjust various setting including bright spotlights to show when motion is noticed at night, or no lights at all and use IR, able to adjust and change particular areas one may wish to keep an eye on (shown in vid). +dual option of cloud OR micro sd card. +waterproof and weather related factors seemed non issues. Vid demonstration was taken in 14 degree Fahrenheit. (Almost 20 below freezing). +Completely okay to just use in the dwelling and off the internal battery without solar panel for days. Tested that just out of curiosity in case ppl might wonder if the solar panel is required for a few days. *can post again if anyone’s curious how long it will last on full charge w/o solar panel. +being able to rotate and zoom is useful. No issues with clarity but wouldn’t expect to be able to use it as a telescope or anything outrageous like that. +wifi reach is fine. This one is placed maybe 50-80ft from the router, shows 2 bars of signal strength but haven’t had issues connecting. +Just the mobility of it is rly handy to have that freedom n move it anywhere so long as Wi-Fi reaches it. +Build quality is fine. Antenna reach is good. ++Customer support is alive and well for this company Cinnado! Post purchase questions or issues? Have yet to went over 24 hrs without a real person respond (and not some automated email, a real person check in and it seems they rly want to do right, the customer be satisfied, and at this rate I genuinely hope they continue to offer strong, competitive products affordable for the foreseeable future). Cons: -meh, 10 second recording times on micro sd. Why?? To be fair, bc it’s not a typical wired or 120v outlet cam then this is somewhat understandable. Still… would suggest leaving that up to the customer. If they have a need for 30-120 second record times w/o cloud subscription for a day or two then set it back to 10 second increments then let them. But ultimately, this was the primary factor to being 4* instead of 5 ngl. Wish there was a 4.5 or something closer a verified purchaser could leave instead of strictly 4* or 5* but moving forward. -I mean I guess one could gripe about no color night vision like Tapo does, or find other faults but tbh… I’m not going to sit and knock down a product over trivialness when at least they HAVE customer support. And I’m thankful for that unlike apple, google, social medias, phone/internet providers… it’s all phone tag but Cinnado, they want the customer happy from my experience and hope they never change. Trying to find any other potential con worth mentioning but can’t. I mean the range is good, battery life is good, solar panel concept of outdoor cam works as intended, build quality is fine, the app isn’t atrocious to use/understand or a headache at all. Ample features (some shown in pics included). Suppose that’s it. Yes, would recommend. Hope all that helped or provided consideration for others curious abt making the purchase. Cheers.

I really like these cameras for several reasons, not the least of which is the great value. The cameras are a breeze to set up. The quick set up guide is easy to read and coherent, not like some many instructions that are written using poor grammar. Basically, once you link the camera to your phone, the camera and app walk you through the process. It's pretty tough to goof up, even for a novice like me. I love that from my app I can pan the camera up, down and sideways. And the video quality is excellent. Not 4K mind you, but certainly good enough to make out facial features on people, and see the stripes on racoons! We've got some amazing video of hummingbirds who are curious about the cameras. The motion sensors are very responsive, almost too much so! I wasp or hornet flying in front of the lens will set off a notification. We have had one problem with one of the cameras, but the technical support has been amazing. I contacted the company by email and within a few hours had a helpful response. But I needed a little more help so I called. I had less than a three minute wait for a tech person, who was over the top helpful. In short, we're thrilled with the cameras and very impressed with the technical support. Buy these, you won't be sorry.

I have bought outdoor cameras in the past, and when I did, I didn't want to have to climb up and take the camera down so it could be recharged every few months or so. So I bought solar panels to connect to the cameras, at a cost of $10-20 minimum. Thankfully, this 2 pack of cameras also includes 2 solar panels, and they are able to keep my cameras at a full charge all the time. Even after a few days of clouds or rain, they recharge fully as soon as the sun comes back. So, that's a little thing that makes a big difference in my eyes, and makes this purchase a great value. The camera itself is awesome in its own right. I have good wifi where I live, so I enjoy being able to use the 2k HD resolution of the camera. It really helps when looking for details. I have one camera out by the driveway and one next to the house. The resolution is great for being able to see license plates and even name tags on delivery people. If we had an issue with an intruder or vandal, he or she would be very recognizable. One thing that most people don't know: 5G wifi is new, and does allow higher bandwidth, but it also has a shorter range. This camera being 2.4 allows me to extend the range farther from the house, while not affecting the quality of the picture in the slightest. Bandwidth is more than adequate under 2.4G for 2K HD. The pan/tilt/zoom abilities are a very nice feature. It basically can move from all the way on one side to the other, and you can keep track of someone or something entering your property, while continuing to video them. It's easy to operate. The manufacturer has a cloud storage plan that is inexpensive, and works well. It's not required, though. When motion is detected, you can also store videos on a microSD card. The videos on the microSD card can be set to run as long as motion continues, and are easy to access using the app. And the card can be up to 128GB, which means that you will go many months, if not years, without running out of space. The settings allow you to overwrite the oldest files first if you run out of space, so you never need to even access the SD card. And videos can be downloaded to your phone for permanent storage or sharing. It's a good system. Motion detection is solid, and you can adjust the sensitivity to avoid false alerts. Night vision works just as it should, and there are also some options. You can leave it on color or use infrared. Where I have lights on, I keep it on color recording. Where the camera is in the dark, I use the infrared setting. Both work well. A fun feature is the 2 way audio, which you can use to talk to anyone lurking around the camera area. I use it mostly to communicate with delivery people, especially if I'm not able to go to the door or am away, but once in a while it comes in handy to scare off someone approaching that has no business with me. I actually scared off a coyote once; it went running when it heard me yell at it. :) All in all, I really like this camera, its features and quality, and I LOVE the price. Highly recommended!
