I have purchased three Aosu solar powered 2K cameras for few weeks now.
All three cameras came with about 65% battery charged, I would recommend to charge the camera before the setup.
The Aosu app can be downloaded from Google play and the setup process was easy and smooth.
All camera parameters can be set in the app, some of the functions like motion detection, you can set the detect zone/privacy zone/sensitive you want to trig the video recoding, also you can set human only to prevent tree leaves movement. I found the detection is accurate and sensitive, when someone passing by, I am always receiving the notification right away.
The video can be set to "2K" or "Smooth" to speed up the video loading time.
There's night vision mode, you can either use infrared light or white light aided illumination. I have no problem to check my 10m x10m backyard during night time, the streaming quality is good.
The single event recording can be 20 seconds (power save) or 60 seconds (intelligent mode). I have set the 60 seconds in the camera since I have larger size micro SD card and it works well.
From the manual the camera can take 8GB~512GB micro SD card, I am using Sandisk extreme pro 64GB, 128GB and Sandisk high endurance 128GB, all three micro SD cards work well so far. After few weeks event recording, the micro SD card is not even 1GB yet, so I expect it will take a long time before it start to over write the old events. no need to go high capacity micro SD, 32~64GB should work more than an year of event recording.
To check the event recording is easy, you can click the notification and it will open the Aosu app and load the event, it will take few seconds to load the video, the quality is good.
The two-way talk speaker function enable real time communication to the person in front of your house. You can talk to the delivery person to drop of the parcel, very useful function.
For the solar panel, it continue to keep the camera battery 100% charged even just few hours indirect sun light. So far, my two cameras never lower than 100% after few weeks.
One of the camera has been charged to 100% and disconnect the solar panel to test the battery life, so far, with couple video checks per day, two weeks after, the battery still have 85%, the battery should hold up to at least a month or two with no charge.
If there's anything the camera/app can be improved, that will be the real time streaming for all cameras (all 3 or 4), so I don't have to click the camera one after one. This may related to the network condition, will see if the future update can add this function. Also, shorten the loading time, it will improve the customer usage experience.
Overall, this is a good quality 2K solar powered indoor/outdoor camera with reasonable price.
