I'm running one of this style by 2k image quality and several others of the same brand but different style. Great cameras for the price. AI auto detection is a little funky and trips out sometimes and I wish it had a return to home position because when it tracks something sometimes it gets stuck on it. Very happy with them.

Do you have this specific model and if so can it be connected to a solar panel to charge like the ones they sell at Costco the TC85? TIA

Almost identical. 2k instead of 3k resolution. they are powered by a transformer, not a battery, so you would have to add a battery into your setup.

Have this camera, excellent wifi range. Have this camera at the furthest part of the house and it is rock solid wifi signal thanks to the external antennas.

The beauty of this camera is it puts out an rtsp stream so you do not have to be part of their cloud ecosystm where you videos are not private. Put these on a private VLAN that is blocked from accessing Internet and run open source frigate server for free. Then you are in complete control of all of your videos with no one snooping on them.\ with no subscription fees.

I've had very inconsistent luck with the 2K/3K/4K cameras. A lot of times they go offline or fail to load. I have a wifi 7 to link router like 20 feet away. The features across the cameras is all different too which is annoying. Most of the time it lets me "clip" from the 24/7 recording but other times it says I need to be on the same wifi network, even when I am. They use a standard AC power adapter although each of the bullet cams uses a different one. No backup power. I have an SD card in each camera. I've tried to remote recording home base thing and on 24/7 recording it had a huge amount of missing time. It would only record a few seconds at a time then skip time. It was super frustrating. I use these for wildlife but wouldn't rely on them for actual security.

When you say battery does it mean it take certain battery or do you have to plug the camera to outlet to charge its own internal battery?
