i bought one of ebay for £70 its now all installed and working fine , i am just thinking of a way to extend it out from the wall by about 9" , don't if any one on here has done it but i am open to some tips ,

[@domesticalnorwich7697]

Hi, I have this issue, I assume you are installing it on a corner of the building so you want maximum coverage. My thoughts at the moment is to mount the camera at the end of a piece of wood, say 1ft long, then attach the other end of the wood onto the wall. One question I need answering if you know, the motion detection is to turn the camera on and notify you of an event, but does the camera track the person?

[@josephcroft4268]

@@domesticalnorwich7697 , i have it mounted on the side of my house which overlooks our driveway and the camera & panel are facing south , but i have a small extension to the right of the camera so i want a bracket to bring the camera out further to get all the drive in if needed , but i have found a bracket on ebay that fits to a pole so i am going to it attach it to an aerial mast bracket , the camera does notify & record an event to my SD card but i don't think it tracks

Based on it, I am ordering this exact camera in the Philippines. My options are limited but Anran is available. Shipping issues are a problem in the Philippines. It takes a lot of time. Anran have in country customer service and warranties are honored. plus its local in a warehouse. Even with that... I expect to wait 7 to 14 days to get it!

The event recoding was working well for 2 days with the SD card. Then stopped viewing the video. But still recoding the event. Then I subscribed with the cloud , after subscription the camera was not able to record any events. Any advice please

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

ok im not 100 % sure it sounds like somewhere the settings are sending your footage to cloud storage as the memory card may have been full also you can access all the live events without subscription to the cloud personally i recommend using the free version unless you do want to keep and refer to all the footage at some point if you look in the messages tab there should be alerts but alerts need to be active and it can be a little annoying if you have pets settting it off all day like i do etc it sounds like the memory card got full and the camera didnt know where you want the footage to be kept so has no back up i only SD for back up and re write after 7 days try restarting the set up process check all permissions are active and your live feed and captures should all be there for free my friend

[@rogermastrangelo5227]

Is there a way for camera to send alert to two phones that are connected? Seems like the alert is only sent to the last phone that viewed the app.

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

i think there is in the settings there should an option to share with family or friend i think this is how you do it but i havn't tried personally i hope that helps some my friend have a great Day !

[@kevinconklin2346]

What does the Red/Blue Led light indicate next to the charging port? Mine flashes blue-red when a 2a charger is connected.

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

red means charging blue means fully charged if it flashes maybe the charger cable is to powerfull for it or it sounds like its confusing the device into thinking its fully charged before power is taken on the cable must be incompatable or inefficient for this camera bare in mind it is Solar power so it draws a long slow trickle charge from the pannel normally. depending on configuration like in my case i need to charge every now and then i just use a standard usb cable micro hope that helps answer

[@kirstendangueteoubanan9173]

How do you see the previous videos?. I use a SD card instead of monthly paid cloud storage. I can’t see anything from the playback and there’s no option of continuous recording. It can only record videos by turning on the smart detection and alarm prompt tone where it rings when somebody walks by but I don’t want the cctv to ring all the damn time when somebody walks by and the cctv is place on public. How to turn it on?

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

Hi you can access the recorded footage from the 3 lines top left corner click messages then alarm messages all the footage should be there you don't need to pay for that you only need to pay for cloud but its not necassary the alarm alerts are annoying i had the same issue tbh i solved this by Turning alert notifications off and on when need be to do this scroll right on the pan and zoom page and select audio warning where there are a couple of options i hope this helps

[@peterambler4359]

is there anyway you can connect direct to a huawai 2019 mobile phone without a home rouyter as ive not got a landline to have a router i use tethering a lot from mobile to desktop any details or advice would be appreciated thank you

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

Hi ! yes mate you can Teather, point of interest though as for the model of phone i can't say for sure but i tested it on 3 devices 1 A Samsung A51 2021. 2 Samsung Tab, 3 Samsung J15 2015, I am able to hot spot on any of those devices and also the app works just as well although a little slower on the older devices i hope that helps answer your question

[@macfletcherhotmail]

Just wondering do these cameras need a house wifi to connection to work? as id like to get a couple for my horse yard that has not wifi and no power on the yard

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

ok so this would be ok in this use case but it would require a Internet connection, to view live footage, Hotspots can also work but tbh i would recommend something with either back up power or constant recording for that kind of thing as the Horses may set the camera off over and over and drain the battery quicker it is solar so you can get around that problem but then you would still need to either boost wifi to reach that area or if its too far away maybe consider finding a way to get it there It will still charge in low light all be it slower battery life is good too hope this helps answer your question

[@macfletcherhotmail]

Thank you for the quick reply and its very helpfull tbh the live feed side im not to fussed about really if it can records to a memory card and doesn't require wifi to operate thats fine by me and also 1 other question does the camera track when it detects motion so if I was to walk past the camera would it follow where I went?

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

@@macfletcherhotmail Hi yes it can record to a mem card I believe 128 gb Micro SD It has a wide coverage and motion detection but this model doesnt auto track you would get a notification on your device to say motion detected you then could manually get a 360 degree view tbh i have another Anran not solar but a little cheaper and maybe more suited for your needs that has Full motion Tracking but Video won't be out for a week or so I have another budget one to do first if your not in a hurry though could be usefull

[@LiveSoundDreamer]

What are the benefits of adding a 128GB SD card? Does it record footage on its own? For example, that way I can view my outdoor activities over night while sleeping?

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

Hello ! The SD card would just back up the footage and give you a physical copy incase of a crime or something important, as for your use case im not sure this Camera would be suitable as it only Records once it has detected motion and the clips are only around 10 second s although there is a manual record button in the app, so technically you could record while sleeping i guess but im not sure it would run through the night as storage may become an issue i hope this helps answer your question i should have tested the length of that record feature in the Review noted for next time :-)

[@neciasilver5357]

​@@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5 acually in case of the more typical common "crime", a cloud based storage is your only hope to still have footage, least the jerks who've done crimes on my property, the first thing they do, Is find the angle my camera isn't facing or can't turn, and ripp the camera down, dismount the memory card, then break wtv they can on camera and take memory card w them or dispose of it where ever I can't find...idk maybe my neighborhood criminals are like pro or something, lol, idk, but I've spent hundreds $ and many hours trying to catch the criminals.

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

if you place it in a well lit area Yes it basically trickle charges and the battery life is Very good so it can stay on constant mine lasts days like 4 or 5 days at a time off solar with a lot of motion alerts from my pets... on solar I never need to worry about Charging but i live in the North UK in a valley type town which is always Dull and cloudy plus my placement is not ideal so I need to charge now and then but yes if you have the solar panel placed in direct sun light it should be fine my friend !

Whats the run time of the camera when triggered on full charge?

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

The run time is very good once fully charged it will last approx 6 to 8 weeks depending on usage maybe longer without re charging. or the solar panel can keep it at around 80 % it still charges a little even in poor day light ! (sun prefered) each time the motion is triggered which in my case is A Lot lol, I have it record 20 second clips if somone was under it for a minuite it would give you 3 clips Theres loads of custom settings to reduce battery life too like Spot light off in Daytime etc i hope this helps answers your question

How far of a zoom can it do to be capable of still reading a license plate? Readable

i would say depending on distance its fine around immidiate area but at around 20 to 30 meters it may struggle to read a plate ! i have a newer version in edit now video will be up soon also Anran and 5mp with auto tracking which maybe better suited to your needs and if you have an issue with criminals stealing the Cards destroying cameras etc a few options ... you could either go with a Hard wired nvr or dvr system and hide the storage device somewhere in the home or you could add a small cage around the camera unit as its fairly inexpensive and would prevent easy access to devices also make sure to back up any footage digitally so you do have several copys you may need to maintain the file sizes etc but its an option

One question I was always curious to have an answer for, what happens when your batteries die out? Seems to me a lot of solar powered cctv cameras have one common problem - you cannot change their batteries. Or can you on some models perhaps? They might work for say 3 years tops but it would be a pity if they cannot be changed or replaced. Thank you.

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

Very good question i suppose you could change the battery on anything in theory but im not sure how you would although after testing the battery life on this model i believe they have used a High quality maybe even a lithium battery shame but nothing really these days is built with user maintainance in mind unfortunately

[@rambo41554]

@@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5 I agree with you on this. Some cctv cameras I have looked at on amazon might be of the battery replacement type because on the specifications of such cameras, it says batteries not included. Its a shame that such cctv cameras are not of good quality and then the good quality cameras have batteries that are inbuilt and that are probably next to impossible to access and change.

History is alway?

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

Im not sure i understand the question ? Do you mean you cant Find the History ? or its not showing anything in there the history is in messages at the top left of the app If you refuse permissions though when setting up the app this can cause issues it can't notify you effectively and in which case maybe some missing footage etc if you need help i will try further

[@gormas9565]

is the history/recording video 24 hours uninterrupted?

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

Hi mate unfortunately No it doesn't record 24/7 nor does it give full History 24 hours previous for eg It only records when you tell it too in the app, or when Motion / sound is detected depending on your settings. I hope this helps answer your question

Hi wee don’t get too much sun light here, does the battery keep good charge in it when charged from the mains, regards Andy

Mine does not give alerts and no cloud, cloud want you to pay

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

hello Yes there is an option to upgrade and pay for cloud storage but i wouldn't recommend it because you can access all the footage home, my messages, allerts, for free and if your not getting the allerts you need to switch on in settings, also i think you have to confirm your account and accept permissions for the allerts
