What owners single out
Review 1 flags night detection weakness at distance, which aligns with the camera's documented low-light performance limitation.
In their words
“Researched outside cameras. Didn't want batteries to change and wiring. Bought this camera from Argos. Its very well made. The set up was relativity easy. I can not find any negatives. It has sound both ways. It has a switchable light. Day and night picture quality very good. Can adjust length of recordings. Fine tuning to enable set up operation. Solar panel has been charging well in January wet ”

“If you’re in the market for a camera that doesn’t require any wiring, this is a very solid choice. Cons: In low-light conditions (around an hour after sunset), the AI struggles to detect people and cars beyond 50 metres. Anything within 40 metres is detected reliably, but between 40–50 metres it becomes inconsistent.”
