@allcheckout, i just got this camera and the battery died within a few days. I was under the impression that it was solar powered. Perhaps i missed something in your video, can you advise if this camera needs power wall charging or a battery? Thank you, good video btw! 😊
Thanks for the nice feedback. I think the camera is available with and without solar panel. But both versions have a large built-in battery which should or could ... last for a few months ... of course depending on the location. If you have false alerts on the cam every few minutes then the battery will drain in a few days of course. Did you get the version with the solar panel and does it get enough direct sun and does the cam show charge when the sun is shining on the solar panel?
@allcheckout thank you for your response. I recently got the one with solar panel included. It worked for 2 weeks, but it died a couple days ago. I'm concerned since Jan 31st is my last day to return or keep. When it died, it was raining, but yesterday and today have been sunny, but the camera is still dead. Should I bring it down and charge it via outlet?
Great video just received two in black .. there’s two apps to choose from iegeek app and the cloud app … can you download footage from camera to your phone or computer straight from camera or do you have to remove sd card and transfer footage ? Sorry if you covered that in you detailed video I did not catch it if so Thank you
Can't remember and NP ... and yes you can download it from the app to the phone and then share. It's just not as simple as it should be. There's a video on my channel showing that ....
If it helps, I currently have a doorbell on the cloudedge app and you can download clips from the app to the phone, I'd assume it's the same for this camera since its on the same app (reason I'm considering this camera)
Thanks for asking. Nice to see that I'm not the only one checking reviews only after ordering .. lol 🙈🙈🙈 The camera is still sitting in the exact same place after 2 years with absolutely no problems so far. One of the most reliable cameras I've ever had. Not a single reboot needed since 2 years. Checking footage every now and then it's still perfect also regarding the quality and has always enough battery power and doesn't miss anything.
@@allcheckout thanks for the reply lol yea I'm always at it but I do research it first I've set up 3 iegeek cameras now at home they are pretty good would be great to have active track on the ptz camera
99% of the solar/battey operated security cameras are not intended to record continuously - sorry. Most of them you can manual start recording, but most have a time-out after 10 min or so. The only one I know has a dedicated 'long' duration recording is the Wyze cam outdoor (amzn.to/3rjeotn) but even with a full battery it lasts only a few hours
Hmmm do you have the camera and don't know which app to use? Did I get this correct? I'm using the CloudEdge app and I think it's only designed for this app and yes, there's no sound on the video file for some reason ... weird ...
@@124quest Most of the ZS-GX1S are identical. I have about 10 cameras connected to the CloudEdge and I've tested most of them now and all of them have live audio and most have also audio in the replay after download, but not the ZS-GX1S's like this ieGeek ZS-GX1S and my other Conico ZS-GX1S
thank you sir for your great review on your igeek camera. i agree with you on the image at night it's so hard to distinguish images. also i learned alot from you about pulling up the history and the calendar section, that is so cool. Thanks alot.
In addition to all the merits mentioned, this cam has a huge flaw: there is no way to connect with the PC and the smartphone app is very limited and not precise in cutting and saving videos of interest. They should also make it accessible from a PC with proprietary software or with programs such as Agent dv, Ip Camera Viewer or similar. Otherwise the cam is almost unusable.
The solar panel of this camera is quite effective and I love this cam. Just when objects are moving during the night they are blurred a bit. You can buy it directly from Amazon: amzn.to/3ogA6sR. They are currently on sale.
@@allcheckout Very nice indeed. I am looking for a camera to record the NIGHT sky, I have a ------- P-Link Tapo Pan/Tilt Wi-Fi Camera, 1080P, Motion Detection, Night Vision, SD Card Slot, Voice Control, No hub Required (Tapo C200) ---- That is like this guy has, its not the best, can you recommend a camera that can record all night onto a micro sd card and have better quality? here is his video ---- ua-cam.com/video/Vdg5fnJ9xzQ/v-deo.html
@@rodger3641 Interesting, but never heard about this camera. Seems to be a normal indoor surveillance camera which needs 24/7 USB power - right? The "ieGeek ZS-GX1S 360° PTZ Solar" is something totally different and working on solar and a battery. To record 24/7 you need constant power. The only alternate way would be a battery operated camera with built-in time-lapse function and/or permanent recording. The only cam which can do this is the WYZE cam outdoor: amzn.to/3F6hNxr, but the recording time is of course limited by the battery. If you have power outside (or where you want record) then you could buy the X-Sense S21, which I've tested just recently: ua-cam.com/video/WHh665oMdTo/v-deo.html. This one writes 24/7 on the micro sd card. You can buy it here (don't forget to use the 20% discount code (XS20)): bit.ly/3fsqzvr. Or wait ... maybe an even better solution would be the brand new WYZE Cam V3 with super sensitive night mode and 24/7 recording: amzn.to/3oj3AGH. I've made many videos about it already e.g. this one here: ua-cam.com/video/qff8-fgGekQ/v-deo.html
I've let it running here on my PC and it stopped after 30 minutes, but maybe there was something. So I'm not 100% sure that it would have stopped on its own ...
@@allcheckout lol, yeah my girlfriend and I had a good laugh on that one, but I still wasn't able to get the SD card in, sending it back and getting one like what you have Thank you for your response God bless
I have been fighting with the company for almost 2 weeks now and am ready to return it. It rarely records anything. The SD card has been formatted, camera has been reset, uninstalled and reinstalled the camera from the app. It records my wind chimes if it's windy, the odd time it records my dogs in the yard, but if I'm in the yard, or I go to my car in the driveway, it will not detect anything, even though I have humanoid detection turned on. I am not sure what I'm doing wrong. The company says there's nothing wrong but the settings are not rocket science, I have 2 other cameras that I hooked up with zero issues and they started recording right away. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but it's ready to go back.
Weird. It's not a perfect camera, but compared to others I'd say it's doing a good job - at least here, but every situation is different. Did you activate the sound alarm?
@@allcheckout I've been going back and forth with them for 2 weeks now and the camera is defective, simple as that. I have other cameras that I have had zero issues with. I edited my review, they gave me $40 worth of gift cards as a bribe saying to edit my review to 5 star or delete it. Once I cash in the gift cards and get my refund, I'll further edit my review to 1 star and share the bribe. I bought this for security due my personal situation and to the reviews... How many others were bribed in this way??? I will never support such shady business practices at my own personal safety.
By other cameras, I mean other brands, they're all basically the same in terms of set up and functions. This one was a dud and the customer service is severely lacking and then the bribe... 🙄 I'm not giving a 5 star review after arguing with them for 2 weeks, and then offering me gift cards. I'm not going to let others get ripped off and having their safety compromised for $40... They can't even replace it because they have none in stock at the Amazon store I bought it from Real review here .. not impressed at all.
@@cyberia7080 OK .... fully understand, but we also have to differentiate between a bad design and one failed device and as far as I can see it's more like one failed device because mine is doing a great job - at least where it's placed. But I'm currently moving away from CloudEdge cameras like this one and now replacing them one by one with VicoHome cameras because they come with free rolling 1 week cloud. That's quite some advantage: amzn.to/3P26j6v
Any standard micro usb solar panel will work: amzn.to/3y0KxGa. It has a nice cover with an opening of just the size of a micro usb plug to make is nicely sealed again.
Black out the recording area or black out detection? I think no CloudEdge camera have this, but some others do. I have tested some on my channel just recently, but can't remember which one. For battery operated cameras such functions are super rare, but still some have it, but such functions are more available for (power) wired cameras.
I purchased this camera and I'm very disappointed the instructions have left to be and the cameras are to understan they are a waste of money I don't recommend for anyone very

It's not a professional camera supporting ONVIF or something like that. This is a normal consumer camera, which tries to make it as simple to users as possible, but of course also limits at the same time the functions. There are a few similar cams supporting ONVIF, but I can't remember which ones. But it's in one of my last reviews if you want to check. BTW: of course you can use it on a PC with an Android emulation. I'm using it a lot, but of course it has same functions. Also I think what you're searching is usually not found in a battery operated camera, but more in a (power) wired camera.
