This camera works great. The picture quality is very clear and vibrant. The solar panel for charging works terrific. Installation and connectivity is simple. Great price for a great buy.

I just purchased the Cooau C5 - I did some looking around at a bunch or makes and models. This one had what I was looking for. I wasn't familiar with the brand so I did some comparing and on paper = Looks very good. Also - Thank everyone who posted a review - That was a big factor. So I figured I would try it. It only took 2 days to arrive. I usually don't get excited about orders, but this, I was looking forward too. I opened it right away and already was impressed. The packaging was great. The could have drop kicked it off the truck - and I don't think it would have affected the camera. Installation was a snap = literally only 2 screws. I downloaded the app - Very straight forward with the steps exactly as shown - Everything connected easily - Wifi, camera, login and syncing the camera was all of 15 min and straight forward - no Youtubing to figure it out. After everything was set - I put up the camera - again only 2 screws and was up and running in 30 min. Now I get to play - Visual were pretty good - Better than I anticipated. However - I wasn't impressed and the motion detection didn't seem to work. So I started to go int specs, adjustments, re boot the router and didn't seem to change. I thought maybe it's placed too high - It's 10' off the ground - so I climbed the step latter to take it down and BINGO - I my haste I pulled a rookie mistake. I forgot to pull off the protective film covering the lens. As happy as I was - It was user error. I was even more amazed at how nice the picture was with the film on - but with it off - Absolutely amazing - very clear - even zooming in at 25-30 feet was great.It's been up for 3 days now and I am very satisfied with this product. I will keep you posted after some tweaking time. Now to top that - there Customer Service is top notch - I sent in the warranty about 2am EST - I had a reply within a couple hours, Cooao had listed in the ad to email them for a Thanksgiving special. So I did - again, the replied right away - Not just a thank you customer email, But a personable, freindly, We appreciate your patronage and are here for what questions or needs that might come up. I felt like family. A rare quality now a days. I may even add them to my Christmas card list. Hmmmm. Seriously - An excellent camera - Does exactly what I needed and want it to do. GREAT Camrea - GREAT Customer Service - GREAT to be a Happy Customer. I hope this helps if you are considering the C5 Camera.

This is a great security camera. Picture quality is great, day and night. And there are way fewer false positives than with a major-brand camera I tried before this one, and returned. Battery life is forever it appears - the solar panel, even in a fairly shaded area, keeps the battery fully charged always. I don't think I'll ever have to charge it manually. And customer service is fantastic - before I bought the camera, I wrote to the seller and told them I had to place it in a shady area, and wondered if the solar panel would provide enough power. They quickly wrote back and offered to send an extension solar panel for free, so I could place the panel it in a sunnier location. It arrived quickly (from China!), and I put it in a better location than the camera was in, but still not great, and it has worked phenomenally. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that on my wifi connection, it only gets about 70% strength, so there is a few second lag when viewing the recorded videos back. This is probably due to my wifi though, not the camera.

We've had this up for about 2 months and are happy with it. The night vision works great. It has lots of settings so if the motion detection is to sensitive or you want it to record longer you can change all that. We put a SD card in it so it would save recordings and it works great. It swivels around and up and down easily in the app. It's never not stayed on no matter how cloudy or snowy it's gotten. The Bluetooth works great, never not connected. Easy to setup and navigate the app. Very happy with our purchase on this one! Going to grab another one soon!

I purchased two of these wireless solar security cameras for video security at a rental property. I am impressed with the quality of the camera and its IP66 rating. Be aware this camera only operates on 2.5GHZ WIFI band. This is not uncommon for wireless cameras and it actually increases the distance you can place the camera from the router. The Quick Start Guide is pretty good but you will have to read it carefully as a couple of the steps are a bit quirky. The setup using the downloaded app was not difficult but be aware that if you choose to use a micro SD memory card to store data you must insert the card first before turning the camera on for initial setup. Plug the camera charging cable which is provided in to a USB2 or USB3 adapter (not provided) and turn it on to start the setup through the mobile app. You are limited to 128GB maximum cards and I would recommend purchasing a new, well known brand name ( Sandisk, Samsung, PNY etc.) to save yourself from potential incompatibility issues. They are relatively inexpensive. The camera will ask for permission to format the new SD card for FAT32 during the initial setup. Agree and let it do its thing. Because the C5 camera has an attached fixed angle solar charging panel, placement is important to be sure you get enough light to keep the onboard battery charged as well as getting the optimal viewing area for your needs. Placement is also critical for getting adequate WIFI signal from your router. COOAU recommends at least 85% WIFI signal strength to the camera and you can get a pretty good idea of what signal strength you are getting at the camera within the mobile app. The camera had to be moved around the area a few times to find the sweet spot with consistent 4 to 5 bar signal level for my application. Take your time with this step because sometimes repositioning the device just a few feet in any direction can drastically change the WIFI signal strength If you have many devices sharing the WIFI signal on your network or if your router is far from the camera location you may want to consider a separate dedicated router or WIFI booster placed closer to your camera(s). Newer Low E glass windows and doors have a coating which can interfere with WIFI and cellular signal to any WIFI device or cell phone so keep that in mind as well when figuring out your camera location to get the optimal connectivity. There is a learning curve to using the mobile app to control the camera and view files. It's not the most intuitive app and there will be some trial and error when setting up your alert and notification parameters. Not a great deal of detail in the User Guide for how to use the app but once you get the hang of it it's pretty easy to use. Although I have not needed to contact customer support for assistance the manufacturer says they will respond quickly to inquiries and requests for tech help. The basic mobile app has free six second video clips and an alert notification is sent when you have motion detection set up. There are optional cloud video storage and advanced video and alert packages available and the cost seems reasonable if that's the route you choose to go. The battery life is exceptional so far and the new generation solar charging panel works very well to keep the battery charged even on cloudy days. The 2K camera resolution is very good even at night. There are multiple adjustable sensitivity levels which may need some tweeking to get the best setting for you. There is an Automatic function which can be selected to let the camera learn and adjust to the area being viewed. This works well when there is the possibility of high traffic at various times to keep from getting too many alert notifications. There is a two way speaker and a alarm horn which can be turned on or off as desired. I am able to monitor the cameras from anywhere using the mobile app. This is a very good outdoor security camera choice at a very reasonable price. I will buy additional ones for other remote locations

Une caméra de surveillance top ! Je suis bluffé par cette caméra COOAU. L'installation a été un jeu d'enfant, tout est pensé pour que ce soit simple et rapide, même si on n'est pas un pro du bricolage. Une fois en place, j'ai tout de suite été impressionné par la qualité de l'image. La résolution 3MP offre une netteté incroyable, bien supérieure à ce qu'on trouve d'habitude. On peut voir les moindres détails, de jour comme de nuit. La fonction PTZ 360° (panoramique, inclinaison et zoom) est super pratique et réactive, elle permet de couvrir une zone immense sans avoir besoin de plusieurs caméras. La connexion en Wi-Fi 6 est un vrai plus, elle est d'une stabilité à toute épreuve, je n'ai jamais eu de coupure de signal. La détection PIR intelligente fonctionne à merveille, elle ne m'envoie des notifications que quand c'est vraiment pertinent. L'alarme est un bon moyen de dissuasion et la recharge solaire en basse luminosité est une excellente idée. Je n'ai plus à me soucier de la batterie, c'est un vrai confort. En bref, je recommande cette caméra les yeux fermés !

Prodotto di qualità, semplice da configurare e subito operativo. Il Wi-Fi è stabile, la rotazione a 360° permette di controllare tutta l’area senza punti ciechi. Ottima la visione notturna a colori, davvero chiara e dettagliata. Il pannello solare integrato è comodissimo e garantisce autonomia costante. Sicura, affidabile, facile da installare e con un buon rapporto qualità/prezzo.

Ich bin wirklich beeindruckt von der COOAU Überwachungskamera Aussen Akku Solar-2K Outdoor WLAN Kamera. Sie erfüllt alle meine Erwartungen und übertrifft sie sogar in einigen Punkten. Meine Highlights: Einfache Installation: Die Montage war kinderleicht, und dank des Akkus und des Solarpanels konnte ich die Kamera genau dort platzieren, wo ich sie brauchte, ohne mich um Kabel kümmern zu müssen. Das Solarpanel lädt den Akku zuverlässig, selbst bei bedecktem Wetter. Gestochen scharfe 2K-Auflösung: Die Bildqualität ist fantastisch! Man erkennt selbst bei Zoom jedes Detail. Auch die Nachtsicht ist hervorragend und liefert klare, gut ausgeleuchtete Aufnahmen. Zuverlässige Bewegungserkennung: Die Kamera reagiert schnell und zuverlässig auf Bewegungen, und ich bekomme sofort eine Benachrichtigung auf mein Handy. Die Personenerkennung funktioniert sehr gut und reduziert unnötige Fehlalarme. Stabile WLAN-Verbindung: Obwohl die Kamera etwas weiter vom Router entfernt ist, hatte ich bisher keine Verbindungsprobleme. Die Übertragung ist flüssig. Die COOAU Kamera ist eine erstklassige Lösung für alle, die eine zuverlässige, hochauflösende und wartungsarme Überwachung für den Außenbereich suchen. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

Great piece of kit very easy to set up, and hopefully will not have to take it down to recharge.

The camera stays charged using the solar panel so I never have to climb a ladder to change batteries. The picture is very sharp on my phone and the view covers the whole garden. AI detection tells the difference between a person and a stray cat to stop false alerts. I use it to keep an eye on the house when I am out. Night vision shows everything clearly even in the dark. Easy to set up, fits perfectly and excellent quality. Great value for the price. Very pleased. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would certainly recommend.
