SwitchBot Wireless Security Camera Kit, 2K Outdoor Camera with Solar Panel, Uninterrupted Surveillance for Home Security, Color Night Vision, AI Human/Pet Motion Detection, Works with Alexa, WiFi 2.4G

Good clarity and quality on the camera, good wide view and the app is easy to use. The bad, the camera keeps intermittently disconnecting, which ain't much good when using it for surveillance 🤔 Switchbot have been in touch and are replacing the camera, so that is first class customer service. Once I've received and installed the camera I will post a further update. Excellent customer service. The new camera has been up over a week now and have had no issues at all, no disconnections, and notifications for motion are timely and very little lag. Would recommend, purely for the customer service alone.

Great little camera, and love that it has the solar panel so I don’t need to worry about charging / hardwiring it and also means battery life should be infinite! Set-up is super simple, just a case of putting up the bracket and popping the camera into it. Only issue - and it probably won’t impact most people - is the lack of support for HomeAssistant and HomeKit, due to the encryption protocol it uses (please update this SwitchBot!!) Makes an excellent outdoor light when you’re putting the bins out if you change it to colour night vision mode, thanks to the motion detecting.

Easy to install works faster if wired in

I really like the design of this camera - it's like a small ball that clips into a bracket and allows you to adjust it to cover whatever area you need. The bracket holds the camera firmly, so I don't have any worries about high winds readjusting it's angle. Saying that, I would have liked a way of securing the camera in the bracket once you have set it how you want. At the moment someone could potentially just reach up and steal the camera (if it is in reach). The picture quality is excellent and can't be faulted (other than being much better at close and medium range.) Plus there are lots of different settings to explore such as the different night vision modes. It is easy to set up your motion detection zone, but I'd recommend you play around with the tilt and angel a bit to ensure it works the way it should. It also supports up to 256GB memory (if you don't want to use cloud storage) which is much more than I normally see, and means it can hold a real wealth of recordings. There is a good manual and the "SwitchBot" app works pretty well and is rather self-explanatory especially if you've used cameras like these before. Battery life has been excellent so far - three weeks and counting and I haven't yet had to recharge it. You could "in theory" buy a solar panel if you wanted to install this camera somewhere a bit less accessible. But I would have doubts about using one, as you might get water ingress where you plug the cable into the camera. But like I mentioned, the battery life seems better than average, so this shouldn't really be an issue. Overall, despite a few small issues such as securing the camera, it is really worth considering as a well-designed, good quality security option with long battery life

I was somewhat dubious to try this product, already having one (outdoor temperature sensor) Switchbot device that works when it wants to, and has a dreadful interface, but hoped this would be better. Thankfully it is. Construction-wise, this camera is decent, very rugged feeling, and was packaged fine, with the requisite charge cable, fixing accessories and instruction booklet (which is pretty decent). App loading not applicable, since I already have. Set-up was simple and easy, as well as intuitive. Firstly, Wi-Fi setting. The camera ‘saw’ my Mesh network, which I already use for SwitchBot, and connection was very quick without issue. Picture quality is sharp, clear, with excellent low light level performance, and a responsive iris to light change. Installation is simple and easy, but do be aware that the camera merely sits in the enveloping bracket meaning it can be swiped in a second! Overall, a good camera, being USB rechargeable (good capacity) means no need for an external power supply, and it’s easy to connect a small solar panel too. Good value. Decent, again intuitive, interface, good wi-fi range. I hope this has been helpful.

I actually have Swithbot devices already, three sets of curtain openers, the mini hub and three remotes, and I originally ordered this camera to add to my indoor infrastructure, but have since gifted the camera to my father who was having some problems he wanted a bit more security with. I already have a wide selection of cameras (Ring, Swann, some random pan/tilt cameras) so I've got a good idea on connectivity and image quality and this Switchbot camera stands up well here. As I have a tech mindset it was very easy to get the app setup, camera connected and go through the options with my dad to ensure it's got the right settings in place. The battery is huge so if he needs to move the camera to a different location then it'll last a good while, but for most of the time it's going to be plugged in. One of the most important features for a lot of people is going to be the local storage option. Since I have Ring, I know full well the problems (and benefits) of cloud storage - mainly the perpetual cost. If you're already in the Switchbot ecosystem then this is a good option, but, there are many many options out there and a lot of them are cheaper.

The SwitchBot Wireless Security Camera 2K has been a game-changer for my home security. I installed it to monitor my front yard, and the setup was incredibly straightforward. The 2K video quality is exceptional, capturing even the smallest details, which gives me peace of mind. The color night vision feature has been particularly impressive, allowing me to clearly see everything outside, even in complete darkness. The AI motion detection works flawlessly, only sending alerts for human or pet movement, which has significantly reduced false alarms from things like falling leaves or passing cars. What I appreciate most is the long battery life. After a full charge, the 10,000mAh battery has lasted for weeks without needing to be recharged, even with frequent recordings. The camera's waterproof design has held up well through rain and storms, showing no signs of wear. The Alexa compatibility has also made it convenient to check on my front yard with just a voice command. The option to store footage locally with a 256GB microSD card or use cloud storage offers the flexibility I needed. Overall, this camera has provided reliable, high-quality security coverage for my home.

The SwitchBot Wireless Security Camera 2K has proven to be a good choice for outdoor surveillance, offering a comprehensive set of features that make it versatile and user-friendly. The package includes everything you need for installation, sticky mount, mounting template, screws/plugs, a USB-C charging cable, and a detailed, user-friendly manual. Setting up the camera is straightforward, thanks to the SwitchBot app, which guides you through the process with clear on-screen instructions. In terms of functionality, the camera delivers what you'd expect from a quality Wi-Fi security camera. The 2K picture quality is sharp, and the weather and dust resistance ensure it performs well outdoors. The colour night vision and spotlight are excellent for maintaining visibility in low-light conditions, while the AI human/pet detection minimises false alarms. You can also benefit from its compatibility with Alexa and Google Assistant, which adds a layer of convenience for smart home integration. The camera's two-way talk, push notifications, and siren provide an additional level of security, making it easy to respond to any detected motion. The motion detection is sensitive and accurate, with the spotlight automatically turning on to deter potential intruders. The video playback is decent, and the app offers a range of customisable options to tailor the camera's performance to your specific needs. One thing to consider is the battery life, which can vary depending on where the camera is placed. I have mine placed In a low-traffic area, on top of a shed, the battery life is impressive. However, in high-traffic areas, you might find yourself recharging it more often. Investing in a solar panel charger could be a worthwhile addition to keep it continuously powered. Another thing to consider is the Wi-Fi connection and distance from your router. If the camera is placed far from the router, you might experience connectivity issues, which can affect the quality of the video stream and notifications. Overall, the SwitchBot Wireless Security Camera 2K is a reliable and effective security solution that works well for most outdoor monitoring needs. It’s easy to set up, packed with useful features, and offers good performance, especially in low-traffic areas.

C’est un super produit, mais il y a un petit souci. Quand on a plusieurs caméras et qu’on met à jour une, l’application ne propose plus les mises à jour pour les autres. J’ai cherché partout, mais je n’ai pas trouvé de solution. C’est un peu embêtant parce que quand on les met en route et qu’on les regarde à distance, ça active une notification.

[ CONFEZIONE ] : 5/5 Ordini un prodotto in kit e ti arriva una scatola compatta. Il primo pensiero è “Accidenti, mancherà qualcosa” ed invece Switchbot è riuscita a mettere tutto il necessario in pochissimo spazio evitando sprechi di carta/plastica e semplificando il trasporto. In confezione troverete la camera, la base a cui agganciarla, il pannello solare con cavo incorporato, il montante del pannello solare, il manuale utente, un pacco accessori per la camera ed uno per il pannello solare (in entrambi troverete viti, fisher e dime per il montaggio a muro) oltre ad un cavo usb type c per l’eventuale ricarica laddove non doveste utilizzare il pannello solare. Come sempre, in poco spazio una dotazione super! [ ESTETICA E QUALITA’ COSTRUTTIVA ] : 5/5 Estetica curatissima. Ho il vecchio modello 1080p, ed ho acquistato questo per il secondo balcone di casa…devo dire che mi sembrano esteticamente quasi identici sebbene il core sia differente e riesca a sorprendere l’upgrade qualitativo nel funzionamento. I dettagli estetici e costruttivi sono davvero impressionanti. Tralasciando il solito colore bianco che reputo azzeccatissimo per le case moderne e la solidità/qualità costruttiva del pannello solare (non il solito pannellino incluso dai brand meno premium, ma molto piu grande e robusto con tanto di supporto solido e snodabile), le vere chicche sono riscontrabili nel corpo camera. Innanzi tutto la forma sferica, abbinata al supporto ad incastro, fa si che si possa raggiungere qualsiasi inclinazione (sia verticale che orizzontale) senza dover spostare la videocamera e rende possibile il cambio di posizione della telecamera con una semplicità pazzesca, senza nessun cacciavite né strumenti, basta fare un pò di forza ed il corpo videocamera si staccherà dal supporto. Resta comunque solidissimo il supporto, infatti anche con vento forte la videocamera resta ancorata al suo interno. Giusto per mio scrupolo (e consiglio sempre di farlo per evitare qualsiasi rischio) ho fascettato supporto e videocamera dopo aver raggiunto la perfetta inclinazione, così da rendere impossibile la caduta della videocamera su strada. Infine, dato che si tratta di una videocamera da esterno, è tanto indispensabile quanto accurata la scelta di coprire con un plug gommato il reparto che include bottone di reset, switch di accensione e spegnimento, luce di indicazione ricarica, slot microSD e Type-C. Esteticamente gradevole anche il frontale, “vetrato” con fondo nero, su cui sono disposti in maniera esteticamente molto curata (centrati ed equidistanti a formare una croce) il pir e l’ottica sulla verticale e Spotlights, microfono, sensore di luce e indicatore led sull’orizzontale. Ho trovato tutto perfetto! [ FUNZIONAMENTO ] : 5/5 Come sempre, massima semplicità di installazione e funzionamento! Montaggio e prima configurazione sono davvero troppo semplici per descriverli, basterà seguire il wizard in app ed in un minuto avrete tutto up&running. Mi soffermerei, piuttosto, sul funzionamento eccellente sia in termini qualitativi che a livello di features. Fluidità ottima, risoluzione eccellente (la camera 1080p sgranava leggermente, la visione in 2k è molto più dettagliata), Motion detection stratosferico (devo spesso ridurre la sensibilità per non ritrovarmi con troppe notifiche) ed anche l’AI Human/Animal Alerts funziona bene distinguendo tra umani ed animali (nel mio caso mi aiuta molto data la presenza di uccelli). Nota di merito per la visione notturna che è molto soddisfacente sia a colori che in bianco e nero. Infine apprezzatissimi l’allarme di “smantellamento” che suona quando si rimuove la videocamera dalla base, la gestione dell’integrazione con alexa/google che è tanto semplice quanto efficace ed il “privacy mode” che permette di spegnere ed accendere la videocamera da remoto (anche tramite scenario) senza azionare manualmente lo switch. Una videocamera da esterno con pannello solare incluso che rasenta la perfezione, ad un prezzo competitivo. Ottimo direi! [ INNOVAZIONE ] : 5/5 Ormai parlare di innovazione è sempre più difficile. Tutto è stato già pensato/realizzato o quasi. Di fatto è una innovazione importante rispetto al modello da 1080p e con la nuova risoluzione 2K ed una fluidità che mi sembra migliorata, la resa è decisamente più soddisfacente. Probabilmente la vera innovazione sta nella nuova modalità di gestione della batteria grazie al fatto che questa videocamera(così come tutti i devices switchbot ora), con aggiornamento firmware, può essere gestita anche attraverso l’hub più vicino ad essa (in automatico, senza necessità di indicare l’hub preferito) e non solo direttamente tramite il ricevitore wifi incorporato. Direi un upgrade di non poco conto per chi deciderà di acquistare il prodotto senza pannello solare. Per farvi una idea di quali siano le distanze tra ogni hub che avete in casa ed i singoli devices, potete andare sull’app switchbot, sezione “profilo”, sottosezione “gestisci gli hub” ed avrete la lista dei gli hub. Cliccando su ognuno di esso, troverete la lista dei devices che riesce a raggiungere con tanto di indicazione sulla qualità del segnale bluetooth. [QUALITA/PREZZO] : 5/5 Il prezzo lancio è 139 ma con lo sconto, praticamente semi-fisso, lo si porta a casa a meno. Il rapporto qualità prezzo (con particolare attenzione alla qualità), rispetto ai competitor, è ben superiore. Se considerate poi il grande vantaggio di avere l’intero ecosistema switchbot gestibile da un’unica app con una semplicità pazzesca, non c’è neanche da fare valutazioni sul prezzo 

Ich habe von SwitchBot damals einen kleinen niedlichen Schalter gehabt, der ein Gerät mittels Hebel anschalten konnte. Die Idee war eigentlich genial. Als ich nun diese Sicherheitskamera sah, habe ich diese direkt bestellt. Die Einrichtung in der SwitchBot App war schnell erledigt. Das Solarpanel ist groß genug, damit auch bei schlechtem Wetter die Kamera funktioniert. Wir haben ähnliche von Reolink und die arbeiten seit zwei Jahren auch im Winter zuverlässig. Diese hier von SwitchBot sicherlich genauso. Was ich nicht verstehe, wieso man derzeit alles mit KI/AI bewerben muss. Da ist nichts KI, dass sind einfach nur simple Programme und Routinen. Schon vor 10 Jahren hatten unsere ersten Kameras die Bewegungserkennung und Verfolgung. Die Auflösung ist gut und auch das Nachtbild ist brauchbar. Durch das Solarpanel ist man in der Aufstellung recht unabhängig. Es braucht nur Sonnenlicht. :)

I recently purchased the SwitchBot Outdoor Spotlight Cam 2K, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in several areas. The 3MP lens truly delivers a significant upgrade in image quality, with a remarkable 100% improvement over regular 1080P cameras. The clarity is impressive, especially with the full-color night vision. The dual spotlights ensure even in low light, I’m able to capture every important detail. What really stood out to me was how simple the installation process was. Being 100% wireless and battery-powered, it required no complex setup, and the 2.4 GHz WiFi connection worked seamlessly. I mounted it outside by the entrance, and its IP65 waterproof rating gives me peace of mind knowing it can handle rain and other harsh weather conditions. One of my favorite features is the unlimited battery life when used with the SwitchBot Solar Panel. With just one hour of sunlight per week, I don't have to worry about recharging. This eco-friendly solution is a fantastic bonus. In terms of security, the AI-powered human and pet detection is extremely accurate, drastically reducing false alarms. The real-time alerts sent to my phone ensure I’m always in the loop, even when I’m not at home. The camera’s dual storage options also provide flexibility—whether I choose to use a Micro SD card or the cloud storage service, I can easily manage and access my recordings. Additionally, the camera integrates perfectly with Alexa and Google Home, allowing for real-time monitoring. The two-way talk feature is another standout—it’s incredibly useful for communicating with delivery people or anyone around the house, and the built-in speaker is surprisingly loud. All in all, this camera is a comprehensive solution that not only delivers top-tier security but also makes monitoring simple and efficient.
