I actually really like these cameras. Great quality. The 24/7 recording is done well enough to keep battery life great with the solar. But my biggest downside is now HomeKit or home assistant video streaming available. If those two things aren't important to you then this is a great deal.
I bought these last month and installed them but I am thinking of returning these. Below are the major issues in my view
1) These are magnetic mount. If someone can reach these cameras they can just take them away
2) The cloud storage subscription is optional and the video can be recorded locally to SD card but if the bad actor takes away the camera, the camera and the footage will be lost.
3) I have enabled 24x7 recording, I tried playing the recorded video in a PC in multiple players including VLC, SM Player, Windows Media player, and it plays the first 10 to 15 seconds and after that the video freezes while the seek bar is moving indicating the video is "playing". I am able to move the seek bar and able to get to other timelines but sometimes it plays other times it just shows one frame indefinitely. So, despite having the footage it is difficult at beast and impossible at worst to get to footage of a precise timeline.
4) Vehicle and people detection is missed at times even during broad day light.
