Cinnado 2K Solar Wireless Outdoor Cameras for Home Security White B6 2Pack

This Cinnado camera is part of the Wansview family of cameras. They use the Wansview app to view, operate, and configure. Setup is very easy, just follow the prompts on the Wansview app EXACTLY and the camera will be up and running in under a minute. One thing to note is that battery-powered cameras such as these do not have RTSP video streaming so cannot be used with Zoneminder, but they can be used with Google Home or Alexa (I did not try either one). I bought the 2-pack and put one camera outside aiming at the rear entry door of my house, powered by the solar panel and the other camera is inside aiming at the same door and not connected to any power source (using internal battery only). The outdoor cam has a 32G micro SD card installed and is set to record motion events while the indoor cam is connected to wifi and is for viewing only. I've used just over half gig of storage in 24 days in the outdoor camera. When the card eventually fills the camera is set to overwrite older files. Battery life is fantastic. As a test, the indoor camera was charged with a standard USB-C phone charger for 24 hours and on 12/7/23 put into service. As of 12/26/23 the camera is still working and showing 100% battery. Even if the battery gauge is inaccurate, running 19 days so far on only it's internal battery is amazing. The outdoor camera has never shown less than 97% battery as the solar panel keeps it charged even after a few days of cloudy and rainy conditions. Also, the outdoor camera has been set to turn on it's white lights for 15 seconds when motion is detected so it should use more power than the indoor one. You don't have to worry about these cameras running out of power. Picture quality is excellent. The 2K resolution combined with a good lens make these probably the best security cameras I own for video quality. I'm not sure of the lens focal length, but it does not fisheye like a 1.7mm and the view is wider than a 3mm. It's the proper angle-of-view for typical suburban home use (in my opinion). At night the infrareds light up the area just fine and the option to turn on the white lights when motion is detected (and the video then records in color) is an added benefit. I am so impressed by these cameras that, even though I cannot link them to my Zoneminder central monitoring system via RTSP I will use internal micro SD storage and the Wansview app to have a second security 'system' to complement my existing Zoneminder setup. Like the other Wansview cameras I have, these B6's so far have been operating perfectly with no glitches or lockups. I will update this review once I find out exactly how long the camera lasts on it's internal battery. Impressive! Edit 1: I started with one of the cameras fully charged and running without the solar panel on 12/29/2023. On 2/9/2024 the battery was down to 22%, camera still working fine. Then I connected the solar panel, which was not aiming up at the southern sky -- just aiming towards the east inside a screened pool enclosure -- and the camera was up to 100% on 2/19/2024. I don't have to worry about the camera running out of power!

5.0 out of 5 stars Verified Purchase Easy to set up and use, excellent value for money, amazing internal battery life This Cinnado camera is part of the Wansview camera family and uses the Wansview app for viewing, operating, and setup. Setup is extremely simple — just follow the instructions in the Wansview app EXACTLY, and the camera will be ready and running in less than a minute. One thing to keep in mind is that battery-powered cameras like these do not support RTSP video streaming, so they cannot be used with Zoneminder. However, they can work with Google Home or Alexa (although I have not tested either one). I bought the 2-pack and installed one camera outside facing the back door of my house, powered by the solar panel, while the second camera was placed indoors facing the same door and running only on its internal battery. The outdoor camera has a 32GB microSD card installed and is configured to record motion events, while the indoor camera is connected to Wi-Fi for live viewing only. In 24 days, the outdoor camera used just over half a gigabyte of storage. Once the card becomes full, the camera automatically overwrites the oldest recordings. Battery life is fantastic. As a test, the indoor camera was fully charged using a standard USB-C phone charger for 24 hours and started operating on December 7, 2023. By December 26, 2023, the camera was still running and showing 100% battery life. Even if the battery indicator is not perfectly accurate, getting 19 days of operation from the internal battery alone is incredible. The outdoor camera has never dropped below 97% because the solar panel keeps it charged even after several cloudy and rainy days. The outdoor camera is also configured to turn on its white lights for 15 seconds whenever motion is detected, which should consume even more power. You really do not have to worry about these cameras running out of battery. The image quality is excellent. The 2K resolution combined with a high-quality lens makes these some of the best security cameras I own in terms of video quality. I am not sure of the exact focal length of the lens, but it is not as distorted as a fisheye 1.7mm lens and still offers a wider view than a 3mm lens. In my opinion, the viewing angle is perfect for a typical suburban home. At night, the infrared lights illuminate the area very well, and the option to activate the white lights when motion is detected — allowing the video to record in color — is an excellent extra feature. These cameras impressed me so much that even though I cannot connect them to my Zoneminder monitoring system through RTSP, I will still use the built-in microSD storage and the Wansview app as a secondary security system alongside my existing setup. Like the other Wansview cameras I own, these B6 cameras have been operating flawlessly so far, with no crashes or freezing issues. I will update this review once I know exactly how long the internal battery lasts. Very impressive! Edit 1: I started using one of the cameras fully charged without the solar panel on December 29, 2023. By February 9, 2024, the battery had dropped to 22%, and the camera was still working perfectly. I then connected the solar panel, which was facing east inside a screened pool enclosure rather than directly toward the southern sky, and by February 19, 2024, the camera was back to 100% battery. I truly do not have to worry about this camera running out of power!

I bought this camera system for my Dad's home. This is a pretty good camera. Video resolution is very good, both day and night. The installation was easy and quick. WIFI connectivity was straight forward and easy even with my dad's slow antique internet connection. Solar power/battery has been exceptional. Sound quality is good and the microphone is loud and clear enough to be heard. At least with testing. PTZ works well especially when motion is detected and it will follow a person. It is suppose to return to previous view after following a person. Sometimes it does not. I also would love to have a "home" position set up in settings. From what I see in the positions settings, there is not a 'home" position. The bad, I have to remotely calibrate the motion pretty regularly. I have saved set positions, and periodically I check the camera after getting a notification and the camera has lost it's mind. Human motion detection. My EUFY is able to identify human motion 90% of the time and not give me a false movement when a tree branch moves. Not this camera. If something moves in the wind, it sends a notification of human movement, even with human detection selected in the settings. There is a rose bush in the background that moves with the slightest of wind and it triggers a notification. Even with me adjusting the detection zone in the settings. Speaking of settings, on my EUFY, I can adjust the detection zone in any method to block out just a small corner if I wanted. On this system, the only detection zone adjustment is top/bottom, left/right and is only the full side or top/bottom. I cannot just adjust the corner out of the detection zone.

The feature I like the most is the motion activation. It's so convenient to be able to go directly to the incident without having to Fumble through a bunch of files and files. Or watch endless hours or fast forward endless hours of no activity. When the motion alert is activated that's what you truly want to be recording. You can store videos on the micro SD card can be set to run as long as motion continues. That's a nice option because I do not like to pay the monthly fees just to see my recording. But furthermore I run it through my NVR that way I don't need to use my phone and I can view it with my other security cameras. and when necessary it is easy to access using the app. With self-explanatory features. and videos can be downloaded to your phone. Motion detection works very well where my cameras are positioned. I like the ability to be able to turn the IR infrared function for night on and off manually. Night Vision Works just as it should. The two-way audio is also very convenient as I have one position near my front door. That gives me the ability to talk to delivery men or not answer the door if it's a Salesman. The pan and tilt features are very smooth. But I think the most convenient part of the whole installation was not having to run or install any wiring. The most wiring I had to do was plug a USB cable into the camera that comes out of a solar panel. The solar panels that are included I have had no trouble with batteries. They keep the batteries fully charged at all times even through several cloudy days. The rest of the time if the clouds aren't out I am in direct full sunlight the entire day the way that I have the panel mounted. I purchased a two camera system that came with the two cameras two solar panels and also included the mounting hardware. I like the other option where apart screws onto the wall and then the camera clicks on to that base that you screw onto the wall. It gives you the ability to Quick snap the camera off unplug the USB cable so you can clean the lens before reinstalling it to the base. Make the maintenance as I call it cleaning the camera lens a breeze. Satisfied with the 2K resolution as because that's what I expected. Cameras are built well seem to be built out of Quality Parts and with my particular system and app I have no issues no bugs very satisfied. Hopefully this is helpful for anybody else. As to if I have any problems in the future I will update this review. This being the second time I've purchased this brand of cameras I also have the D1 cameras and I'm extremely satisfied with those too and have had those several months now. Thank You Cinnado for another great product to secure what's most important to me, My Family! All of the features that come included with the camera all work flawlessly including the application. Set up is a breeze I had mine set up in under 3 minutes. Plug it in download the app the camera talks to you and says the scan the QR code on it automatically configures itself to the Wi-Fi. A few moments later you're watching live video on your screen. Customer service is some of the best customer service I think I've ever had the opportunity to speak with. Efficient courteous professional and had the answers I needed without having to put me on hold. Another feature I would like to see is higher resolution cameras, or megapixel cameras. And lastly optical zoom possibly 12 times opposed to four times. Some of my other cameras have 30 times optical zoom. And There's No Going Back once you witness the clarity. And knowing you have the ability to read a business card from 100 yards through a camera. These are just some improvements I'm suggesting. Things to be offered on future cameras that are often a deciding factor whether somebody will purchase or not.. Will they integrate into a system they are currently using? One way to do that universally quickly and without extensive knowledge is by using an open source program called OnVif. The majority of CCTV or security cameras usually include the software in their Hardware Giving that ease to integrate with pre-existing equipment that is also OnVif equipped.

Be advised the four camera devices have only been in use for approximately 2 wks at the time of this review. I am pleased so far with the four devices I have installed outside my house. They were relatively easy to install. The view, pictures, and videos are clear. The area covered is good enough. I like the camera tracking feature. I had a little difficulty getting one camera connected after installation. The system returned a message to contact support and provided an email address. I received a very timely response from support. But suspecting the issue was due to a weak signal, I removed the camera and took it closer to the router. It connected and I then put it in back into the mount where it has operated smoothly ever since. So I had the problem solved before support replied. The cameras appear to be of good quality. The solar panels are nicely adjustable. I mounted each camera on a wood surface and used deck screws which conveniently fit the screw holes of the mounting brackets instead of the screws provided. The cameras were easily and quickly installed. Commo via the cameras was loud and clear. The only thing I wish were different is the lag time between the camera activation by movement and notification of such.

At this price point, these cameras rock! They've only been running for a day, but so far, so good. Installation: Simple installation with provided guides. It took me less than 5 minutes per camera to physically install them. Wi-fi: Previous wi-fi cameras I had were spotty, at best, in connecting or reconnecting to wi-fi, so the first one of these cameras I used to test all of the locations I wanted to use a camera. The app does report the wi-fi strength for each camera, so it’s easy to test the wi-fi with any positioning, and the strength exceeded my expectations. I have an eero 6+ mesh network and the camera setup was a breeze with it. I use the cameras on the 2k (rather than SD) resolution and I’m happy with the wi-fi connection and data transmission, even if there is occasional buffering. Storage: I’ve installed 128gb SD cards in each camera. The app provides quick and easy formatting of the card. These cameras are installed in a busy urban setting, so record a LOT, and even at the highest 2k resolution, use less than 1gb per day – I expect to get at least 4 months of storage on the cards before it is overwritten with newer content. The company does provide a reasonable cloud storage plan, but it’s unlikely I’ll need to take advantage of that for my needs. Power: I've had battery-powered cameras before and find the charging maintenance to be cumbersome. These cameras include solar panels to keep the batteries topped up. I also use an exterior outlet for one of the cameras, and the included charging cables worked well for me there. From what I can tell from the battery consumption overnight on the cameras with solar power, these cameras would likely last a couple of weeks before needing charging. That's just a guestimate since all of my cameras have solar or outlet power. With the solar power and outlet power I’m using with the cameras, I expect to have no further battery issues, which allows me to capture more (higher motion sensitivity) without worry of running out of battery or space. Support: Before I even got the first test camera set up, I received an email from the Cinnado support folks asking how things were going. I haven’t had a need to contact them for these cameras, but I did contact them for some of their other cameras I installed and they responded in less than 24 hours with good options to address my questions. Overall, I was very happy with their responsiveness and resolutions. Room for improvements: The app is very informative and is intuitive for me to use. The biggest issue I have with it is that the only exclusion zone is a privacy setting which completely blocks a single rectangle from any visual (live or recorded). I would love to be able to block areas from motion activation – one of my cameras points down the alley and across a street, and I don’t need to capture every car going by on the street. Even with that, I have plenty of storage for weeks of video captures on my 128gb SD card. Overall, I’m very happy with these cameras and am hopeful that these will be a long-term solution to help secure my property.

Not all features work as advertised! The device sharing option lets you fill everything out and then refuses to let send the sharing email or text. It also won't let you add these to your Google home account so you can use your Google TV as a monitor. Another thing I noticed after ordering 3 separate bundles of the same camera before this purchase, all amazonis that the intelligent tracking isn't available on all the cameras of the same model. Updates will not fix this. If it does have it, it gets very confused by tree shadows, across my roof and gets stuck there even with return to home tired on. They do seem to completely charge from the solar panels and work all night at least. Audio is so so, the console is kinda wonky and the cameras stutter when trying to adjust view angles. Video quality is more like 720! The 2k with only three megapixels gives it a very grainy look. Over all, they are cheap, the cloud storage DOES WORK unlike some other questionable Chinese camera companies, they have mid range wifi abilities the wifi antenna probably could have been tuned a little better. It is only 2.4 GHz. And it does have a sd card slot for non cloud recording. I have not used this operation, if this important to you, I suggest doing a little more research. The LED lights on the camera are ok. They do work pretty well. The infrared camera for night view is surprisingly good. Better than the color day camera. It has color night also. If you need a camera for cheap, and the quirks mentioned above are not a deal breaker go for it! They do work, they do record audio and video and it's definitely better than a dummy camera that would cost you probably $40 anyway at Lowe's.

I'll start with the positive. These cameras have good image quality (bear in mind, they are 2K), and are quite easy to set up and operate, using the mobile app. The battery life is better than I expected. (I fully charged one and set it up on my front porch, but did not connect the solar panel, just to see how long the internal battery lasted. After two days, it was still above 80% charge.) The WiFi reception also impressed me. (I put on in our chicken pen, where I was certain I would get no signal- but it DID get signal, and is serving well.) As with may other cameras in this class, they are not true PTZ. This is only because the zoom simply uses the two finger pinch on the image to enlarge it- essentially the same as digital zoom. I didn't expect true optical zoom for this price, of course! The app is a little clunky, but it gets the job done rather well. Using the pan and tilt can sometimes be a touch laggy, but it's not a serious problem. I took one point off for two things that I would love to see changed in future firmware updates: -- When the cameras go into IR mode in low light, they do not like to come out. When daylight returns, they will only come out of IR mode if I trigger the built-in lights. -- The cameras do not support ONVIF or RTSP. I like to use these to view cameras (including one under the same manufacturer umbrella) via clickable links on my computer (RTSP) and on a Roku app on my TV (ONVIF). I currently cannot do either of these. I am quite happy with the cameras despite these two drawbacks. I do hope these two matters are addressed in future firmware.

Easy to install, works great with the app and after initially charging via USB cable, the solar panel has kept it at full charge. I opted for an sd card rather than cloud subscription and camera records as and when I want it to and also records when motion is detected. Picture clarity is very good also

Really good product, very easy to set up home security system. The battery charges quickly via the solar panels, even in winter I have had no issues with the power level going below 20%. The cameras are an excellent quality both with build and video recording resolution and play back. The app is easy to install and use and you can keep a track on your home when away. I have had no issues with connectivity, very impressed by the day picture quality and night vision is excellent, the led lights are a really good feature and very bright and a great deterrent.Would highly recommend.

Die Kamera ist leicht zu installieren. Es gibt viele Einstellmöglichkeiten. Gute Ton, und Bildqualität. Guter, langhaltender Akku. Empfehlenswert

Fonctionne très bien. Belle image de jour comme de nuit. Détecte bien avec envoie de notification d'alerte sur le smartphone. Facile à installer et à programmer. Contente de mon achat.

Très bonne camera de surveillance couplée à l'application Wansview. Comme elle est solaire, j'ai pu l'installer sans aucun problème dans mon jardin. Et avec le panneau solaire déporté, orienté plein soleil toute la journée, la camera est constamment rechargée, malgré l'activation de l'enregistrement sur carte SD, et le suivi des mouvements détectés (la camera suit les personnes en mouvement). La qualité de l'image est très bonne (2K), et la réception du signal wifi parfaite (2 antennes), même au milieu de mon jardin. Elle dispose aussi de lampes LED qui s'allument lors des détections de mouvements, mais cela diminue évidemment son autonomie (heureusement qu'elle se recharge toute seule en journée). J'en suis très content après plus de 2 mois après son installation. Je la recommande
