AOSU Security Cameras Outdoor Wireless, 4-Cam-Kit, 166° Ultra-Wide-Angle, Battery Powered, No Subscription, Home Security Cameras System with 2K Color Night Vision, Spotlight, Easy Setup, Motion Alert

I purchase these cameras because it had a home base in which to record video from the cameras on which means no service charge. It also has a cloud storage available at a charge. It was easy to setup and to install the cameras. Camera picture quality is pretty good even at night and provides added security for my home along with an alarm and give you the ability to communicate to whoever is in camera view. These cameras are much better value than my previous camera system and response time is better as well. I can view anywhere on my phone or tablet.After about 3 months of use one of the cameras stopped charging. I sent a email to the manufacture and they were quick to respond. They asked me to provide a short email of the problem which I did and within a day or two they responded saying they would send out a replacement camera. After less than a week i received the new camera and installed it. So far the new camera is working well. I greatly appreciate the quick response from this company and would recomment these cameras.

I purchased this camera kit mainly for its 166° ultra-wide angle lens, which provides excellent coverage of the area I want to monitor. I also appreciate that it offers local storage, so there’s no need to pay for a subscription.The setup and installation were straightforward. I simply followed the instructions and downloaded the app—the whole process was smooth. The camera delivers good image quality, which is more than sufficient for my needs.One issue I’ve noticed is that notifications can be delayed. By the time I tap on a notification, the person or car that triggered the alert is often gone, so I have to review the recorded footage in the event history.Overall, this is a solid security camera system with useful features and good performance, especially considering there are no recurring fees.

Great product. Excellent camera quality. Many security features I wasn't expecting. I highly recommend this system.The camera batteries come with a partial charge. They will need a 4 to 5 hour charge until the LED stops blinking and goes solid.Set up was simple. App works fine.

NOTE: DOWNGRADED TO 4 star. Here's why. 1) Customer service went from great to weird. They do not answer questions now. It may be entirely very low level AI. 2) The cameras are more archival rather than front line defense. My wife has quit viewing them completely because of their slow boot up time and choppy recording. My guess is that future downgrades are coming and I may switch to a more pro (expensive) hardwired solution. I will likely discover that home security is worth than $200.I say this after less than a year of operation. 9/24--Original review:A review for this and the Aosu Camera Wireless, 5MP Ultra HD doorbell cam-High quality-Affordable-Durable-Strong customer service-Easy Install-Long battery life-High res-No monthly feeThe 3 Aosu cameras that I installed, 1 doorbell, and 2 outdoor elevated, are perfect for my needs. I am mid-level home project guy. Advanced will have no problem, and beginner will be fine if he/she is careful and reads the instructions.My guess who these cameras are perfect for, and who they’re not perfect for.Perfect: Small home homeowner who only needs a few of these (remember you have to re-charge them), can install them high enough and out of the way enough so they are not easy to steal (see pics), but accessible for the owner to remove them for charging. And their customer service is built right into the interface—they are very responsive!Don’t be put off that the camera is not on all the time--It will come on if anyone approaches it. And, it will record briefly and save it in the included external hard drive that connects by wifi. Seems to have unlimited capacity for short vids. I believe these are perfect for the average homeowner—and I compared them with all the majors on the market.Believe me. Unless you are guarding gold bars, or live in a war zone you don’t need cameras on all the time recording every piece of life’s rich pageant. I’m glad I don’t have reels of tape to go through constantly.Not perfect: Larger homes that require many cameras, and businesses that need all cameras on 24/7, recording everything, and need everything hard-wired.Tips:Take your time installing—it is easy but since you are drilling into the outside of your house, you really want to get it right the first time. Charge the camera in advance, install the software, so you can see exactly what field of view you will have before installing. The hardest part was the doorbell--took some cutting--but still, anyone can do this.Recharge tip. The cameras are easy to unscrew from the bracket that fastens them to the house. Unscrew them, don’t try to snap them out of the brackets just for recharging. Sliding the camera out of the bracket, as they recommend, is very tough, and you risk breaking the plastic or pulling the bracket from, the house. Unscrew it instead.Also, I cannot see a condition where the charge would last for 240 days, or whatever is suggested in Aosu advertising. Mine under heavy use, lasted over two months. But that's it. Takes 4 to 5 hours to recharge. Don't sweat this though. You charge your phone everyday. No big deal to have to charge a very important device like this just once every two or 3 months.Negative: The only way to view the cameras is using a phone app. This makes little sense and seems like it would be a very easy fix. NEST, for example, has a phone and desktop app. I prefer Aosu to NEST, I have a NEST camera too, but this is a weakness for Aosu, and another reason why I think it has fewer commercial applications.

I had purchased a different set of cameras earlier this week and they were terrible. Motion detection failed every time, I found these and decided to try. Definitely worth the money!! Great videos, instant notifications, local storage, easy set up! I recommend these to anyone looking for good cameras at a decent price, without a subscription.
