edit: most replies below say it is the same, but packaging is different so don't plan to rebuy/return different packaging from another retailer
Typical Chinese cam in 2024:
1. Delayed start of recording (miss the most important part, like car driving by or person's face coming up to the door).
2. Only records 10-20 seconds even if motion is 5 minutes.
3. Long cool off , so next recording doesn't happen for a few minutes and lots of things happen meanwhile that are not recorded.
4. Horrible app for viewing. Rewinding, skipping.
5. No multicam view option in the app.
6. No windows app. No IP connection.
7. Incompatible with all 3rd party apps like tinycam pro and Blue Iris.
8. Ignores the motion area and does random recording regardless of where the motion is. So a leaf moves it records then goes into 5min cool off and misses important event.
9. Human detection is paid feature.
10. No direct contact to camera by opening port or VPN to home address.
I don't understand why the Chinese apps are soo horrible while their hardware and cam quality is great.

I'd pass on a solar camera. I was down for them until Nov/Dec came and mine wouldn't charge. Plus it's only about 2-4% charging per day. Well, after very little sunlight my S220s battery is draining, and it's draining hard. I'm talking about charging 100% and then getting less than 60% a week later.
