THE PROS:
Larger Easy to read and understand manual included, also downloadable on line manual available in PDF format. Setup is very easy “if you follow the instructions”, also online videos for set up are available, Can take up to 128gb microsd card for storage of alert capture videos, Cloud service and Specific AI Detection are available for a monthly fee on EACH camera, in case you have more than 1. Camera wifi speed is 2.4ghz only, and you want to keep the camera within 30 to 50 feet of your router as you may experience signal drop and delayed response to your mobile device. Which can be solved by adding a WIFI Extender for your router.. Picture quality is actually very good. Sound mic and speaker quality is absolutely EXCELLENT. The camera pivots fast 350 degrees horizontal and 90 degrees vertical. The PIR detection and humanoid detection can be turned off to catch everything and are very configurable for the discerning user. Notification alerts can be turned off at ease in the software. Device sharing is also a feature available, as long as the person your sharing with , must and has set up their own CLOUDEDGE account, weather they have a camera or not. Activation and registration of the camera can bring you extra benefits, extended warranty, life time Tec-support and more. This is a very respectable starter price point camera. The camera comes with a 3 ft USB C cable for initial charging, but NOT ac to dc 5v 1 or 2 amp charger. The whole idea of the SOLAR charger is to supply charging power when the battery level gets low, not to override the battery 24/7- 365. That being said, If the solar power panel fails or not enough direct daylight sunlight, The battery will die and the camera will NOT work. The camera MUST be removed from its location, manually charge the battery with an ac to dc converter to full capacity, then the POWER button MUST be manually pushed and held till the camera restarts, then the camera can be reinstalled in its location. Hopefully redirecting the solar panel directly at the suns best angle will work, if not then the camera needs a continuous AC to DC power supply. More details to come at a later date, 3 to 6 months. Customer support is excellent, returns emails very quickly, lots of tech support and helpful ideas if your having any challenges.
THE CONS:
There is NO option for still shot pic auto capture, but can be done while reviewing videos. There is NO option to save either pics or videos to an outside FTP or remote server. There is NO option for a P2P windows or Apple computer, there is a windows website to view your camera on, see link in pics. The only available app is CLOUDEDGE for Android or IOS, which is proprietary to the Rebluum cameras. There is NO auto tracking or intelligent tracking available in the software. There is NO pre-set locations for specific quick access of the camera viewing area. Changing WIFI or network locations can be very cumbersome, you must delete the camera from your REQUIRED account, then push and hold the hidden reset button on the camera, then TOTALLY Reinstall, reconnect and completely reconfigure the camera for the new network. There is NO simple “CHANGE WIFI SSID or Network location” buttons in the current software. Definitely a pain in the butt if you are using multiple routers with different SSID’s or location name. I’m not sure how the Winter extreme cold and lack of direct sunlight will affect the Solar charging and life of the battery during usage, but time will tell. A Note: In the manual it does say not to keep the battery plugged in continuously to an ac power adapter as it will not allow the battery to cycle its power range if power is lost.
