I have been wanting home security cameras for a while, but was always put off by monthly subscriptions. When my wife and I were going to go on a week vacation, I decided to finally find some cameras to give me peace of mind while we were away. I searched “non-subscription” camera options and Aosu was pretty well recommended by real people on message boards like Reddit, so I decided to give it a try. I was very impressed with the price point, so thought it might be too good to be true, but trusted the comments on Reddit, and I was not disappointed!
The cameras arrived quickly and were SO easy to set up. I have 2 solar cams and 1 doorbell cam. The solar cams have always been at full charge, even though I have trees and we have weeks of overcast conditions here in Ohio. They all link to my Aosu home that came with the package, and all the data is stored on a microSD card, so if I need more storage, I can always upgrade (but I haven’t come close to needing that).
Also, I don’t recall what was advertised for battery life on the doorbell camera, as that one does need to be recharged, unlike the solar cams, but I have had that thing running for 3 MONTHS and it’s at about 50%!!! That was the biggest surprise and I’m honestly really impressed with the quality, price, and ease of use of these cameras. Thank you Reddit for pointing me in the right direction wow
