COOAU Solar-Powered Wireless Wi-Fi Home Camera with 360° Pan, Tilt and 15000mAh Zoom Battery Backup

Richard: I purchased this Cooau security camera 12th July 2022, and it has performed brilliantly, until recently.. I removed the camera from its fixing, charged the battery and tried to reset it. All to no avail. I contacted Cooau using the report form and explained the problems that I was experiencing. The next day I received their reply listing various checks that I could try, I carried out all the checks, but still the camera did not work. I again contacted Cooau and explained that the camera still was not working, I then received their reply
I'm sorry that your camera can't be used anymore. In order to better solve your problem, would you accept our new camera? We can send it to you for free
The new camera arrived two days later and today I installed the camera and it works like a dream.
From my experience, Cooau customer service is second to none, throughout our correspondence I found Cooau to be polite, courteous and sincere. I have already recommended Cooau cameras to family and close friends, saying that they will not be disappointed in the build quality of the camera and the excellent after sales service.

Nancy E: Purchased in June 2021. The main reason I chose this security camera was because a subscription service and Alexa were not required. The set up was relatively easy. CloudEdge app is easy to use and navigate. The pan-tilt-zoom is nice when you watch live feed and you have this option through the app to keep an eye on the dog, delivery person or check on other things in the yard from inside your home. (It is not an auto function, will not follow moving objects automatically.) Picture quality, wi-fi connection and battery have been good. I can't comment yet on the battery life during a midwest winter. First SD card I purchased didn't work but the second one did and it was very fast and easy to get the video up and running. The only negatives I've noticed is that the video very occasionally misses with either a late start or ends before the person is out of view and a couple times the camera angle has moved (pointing down or toward the wall) which I assume must be from strong winds as the camera is mounted too high to reach without a ladder. I would recommend this product. *I am receiving a gift in exchange for this review but no conditions were placed on that and my review contains...

Cooper: Camera is ok. Not brilliant resolution. The roadside is 8m (25 feet) from where the camera is mounted and car number plates are unreadable.
The major issue is the solar panel charger. It stopped working after 1 week. I have now had to hard wire the system. So crawling around in loft space to the eaves of my house was not fun.
UPDATE
Follow up support emails from Amanda regarding the solar panel was excellent. I was offered a replacement or a refund. I’ve changed my review to 3 stars because of Amanda’s customer support.

KentMan: I have an Arlo system of some three years' standing. It has been good, but the battery consumption of £60-80 a year for three cameras, plus the system's propensity to 'unsync' the cameras is an irritation. I looked around and saw this. Good reviews convinced me it was worth the investment, especially on Prime Day, with the solar powered aspect particularly of interest. The system is easy to install and set up, and delivers high quality images and video. Better coverage and quality than my existing Arlo system, for sure, although that is first generation. The app took a bit of getting to grips with, but I am happy. I have retained the Arlo system, but employ it in low trigger areas, so as to reduce battery usage. I would happily recommend this new system to anybody, although longevity is something I cannot yet speak to. Technology is constantly improving, and this is a definite improvement on what I had. UPDATE: As of 16 December 2021, still happy, but an issue that I had may help others. I ultimately employed a WiFi extender, due to erratic alert image sending caused by sub-optimal WiFi signal strength. Some two/three weeks after I swapped over to the BT extender, the camera was...

HughOSBHughOSB: The media could not be loaded.  Setting this up was easier than expected. Drilling into the bricks was the hard bit. Make sure you charge it on the mains before installation. The solar panel has a good long cable so if, like me, you do not need the full length of it, some cable clips would keep things today. They are three only thing, as well as a SD card, that is not in the box.

The rotation is 355 degrees, among with vertical adjust. The intercom works easily, just like a door ring camera, and the night vision is excellent. Make sure you choose HD vision.

The free Cloud Edge app is powerful but surprisingly clean in its layout. No ads! Remote control of the camera via WiFi from miles away works very well. The motion detection has 10 levels of sensitivity, and even on the highest it still only alerts for humans, without any false alarms for animals or birds. The app is highly configurable.

It has survived rain very easily, but make sure you push out the inner rubber hole for the solar panel connection to the camera. This is not clear in the instructions, and will ensure water proofing. The camera uses very little power so even after days of cloudy...

Tammy Wang: We don't live in the best neighborhood; growing up we were always extremely cautious about our surroundings whenever we left home. After setting up this security camera, I do feel like our lives have become more comfortable. My dad installed the camera and the solar panel above our front door-- the set-up was fairly straight forward. Downloading and connecting the smartphone app to the camera was also relatively easy.

The motion detection of this camera is especially sensitive (we all get notifications whenever the wind blows and our front yard plants sway). The camera's images are of excellent quality in day and in night. A few days ago, we were rattled by the sound of loud, consistent banging on our front door in the middle of the night. When we checked our camera, we clearly saw the video footage of one teenager wandering away from a group of 5 teenagers to bang on our door and then leave. Our camera was mounted fairly high up so we realized we were unable to see the face of anyone approaching. We adjusted our camera's location since then, and are thinking of also getting a doorbell camera.

We are planning to get a 2nd camera to widen the scope of our view of the...

MartynMartyn: I shopped the internet for ages for CCTV and found I was priced out most places I looked. Turning then to Amazon I looked at cameras I could fit myself. In the end, I settled on this one with the solar panel as it keeps the battery topped up after an initial charge on the mains. I was worried about the quality at first as the price is pretty low, however I was pleasantly surprised when I powered it up for the first time. It arrived well packaged and true to form, it was very easy to set up. Four screws in the bracket in position and four bolts to hold the camera in place. Then I just needed to scan the QR code, install the app and connect to the wifi, it really was that simple. All concerns went out of the window when I saw the night vision, I've included a picture here to show the quality. For me, the price and the quality of camera and the ease of use is excellent. I've included a video which show the first time I used it after mounting the camera. You can turn your phone sideways and swipe in the direction you want the camera to go and also have a full screen camera view and pinch to zoom in and out. I found that setting the sensitivity of the camera helped prevent false...

Music MikeMusic Mike: I found the WIFI set up to be great, I missed the text request for the password (I was not reading the small print right away) but once I did it connected to my Frontier Router which is listed as 5Ghz, but it also has the 2.4Ghz function which it found without any software or hardware tweaking. I am very happy that it can detect people and send a report to my cell phone, while ignoring the waving tree branches and passing cars. It came set for motion level 6, I have today moved it to 7 to pickup a walking person a little sooner, it seems to do so at maybe up to 75 feet now. I am using the SD video definition for recording setting. The HD setting probably requires much more data to transmit to your cell phone, but WOW is the HD setting ever great quality for details! The rotation function is smooth and responsive allowing a person to be brought into sight quickly. The voice coming from the camera is clear and easy to understand, I can even hear birds singing in the background through my phone when I watch an event recorded to the camera (be sure to purchase an mini SD card, I got the one recommended, 128GB and installed it. Without the SD card there is no recorded videos saved to...

aeromav©aeromav©: This Security Camera ZS-GX1S PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) is an upgrade to my previous ZS-GQ3 which is a still Camera. I got them pictured on my 2nd attached photo. I upgraded to A PTZ cam so I can have a better left-right, up-down view. I bought a same brand security cam for the purpose of using the same "App". It is better to have 1 app open on both security cam which is very convenient. You can capture SD or HD videos. 3rd photo attached is a sample of indoor capture. 4th photo was taken outside, it captures clear video. 5th photo attached is view being tilted (adjusted). This is the feature i'm looking for. 6th and 7th photo where the zoom capture. I also like the 2way audio which is kinda louder than my previous Camera. It's like it has a built-in speaker inside the camera and you can scare when there is someone outside your house.

Feature of the PTZ camera:
Wifi connection
2way Audio
Infrared Night Vision
Motion sensor
PTZ
Rechargable batteries
Waterproof
130° Wide angle

Clear Videos, clear photo capture and lastly very affordable.
