We were pleasantly surprised by this camera. We'd been hesitant for a while about whether it would work with solar panels. But yes, this works. And what a bonus: you don't need any cords or wires, which don't look good, and you can always find a power outlet. Even if Wi-Fi isn't available, it can be taken over by your phone's 4G network. A real plus. The camera is easy to use and has a wide range because it can rotate. The images are clear. You do notice a difference in dark weather, but that's understandable. The app is also easy to use and offers plenty of features. We're happy with this camera, and it gives us a good feeling that we now have one outside.

This camera really opened my eyes. I was looking for a stand-alone camera because we live in a new-build house and have no way to get power and internet outside. Then I came across this camera from Imou (Dahua's little brother) with 4G and WiFi support. Perfect, you would think... And yes, it is.
Installation went quickly and smoothly, both the WiFi and 4G were active. Given that our house is well insulated, the WiFi signal has difficulty getting outside, but the 4G solves this. The solar panel supplies the battery with power and ensures that it charges nicely. Where many cameras cause unnecessary detection and therefore notifications, the Imou does this extremely well. Of course, there is the occasional false notification, but in general the notifications are correct.
The lack of an RTSP stream is a shame but understandable. I don't want to think about streaming 24/7 over 4G because that would entail a hefty price tag, I'm afraid if I don't have unlimited internet on the SIM card.
The app works easily and the PTZ part also works well, although there is a slight delay here. (It takes some getting used to). Image quality is good, but can always be better if you see what is available these days.

I've been using the camera for a few weeks now, and I've been amazed by its quality and user-friendliness. The ability to add multiple users in the Imou Life app is a great feature. This way, even if you have several people in your family, you can all still have access to the camera footage. The notification sensitivity is easily adjustable, and you can also mark an area. This prevents false or unnecessary notifications. It also features a 4G module, so you're not dependent on a Wi-Fi network. This service is free for 100MB. The addition of a solar panel means you don't need a permanent power supply to the camera. And it charges sufficiently to power the camera all night. I haven't yet experienced it dropping below 62% battery on a normal sunny day. It stores footage locally (32GB), which is enough for about a month's worth of footage. You can set the camera to follow people who enter your marked area, so you always have them in view. The image quality is also excellent, truly exceeding expectations. The spotlight is nice and bright and creates a startle effect for uninvited guests. In short, a complete security camera setup for a great price.
