It took me around half an hour to set up. This has worked out beautifully. Several reasons I love it. 1. I dont need to pay the monthly fee as some other brands do when they record the videos or photos and I want to download or watch the videos or photos (three years ago I bought a very famous brand peephole camera which needs $3 per month). 2. This one can automatically record videos/photos when it detects the motion (shown in the photos) and the lights will turn on. 3. Powered by solar panel coming with the camera, it is free from hard-wired power. 4. Very good water-proof design (I have no chance to check yet). I would love it more if it can come with the micro SD card or be designed without an external SD card will be better for being water-proof.

This camera has much better quality video than my older igeek camera. Love the flood light and siren features. Everything seems better on this camera except the feel of the case. The older Igeek seems heavier and more rugged. The new app is easier than the old one for setup of the camera and use itself.

I really like this solar cam. I bought 2 of them for more security at home. I’ve install one on my front porch and the other in my alleyway. I like it so much because even at night it still detect and flashes the light to view in color. Nice and the best the alarm system. I hope it come with internal memory to save the videos or better yet if you could save all the videos on your phone.

I own several of these cameras, which I user primarily for residential surveillance. So far they have all held up up the Arizona sun. This model features solar power AND a floodlight. It’s built solid with a glossy finish, easy mounting and diversity antennas so even if you’re some distance from your router, you should still get a signal. The solar panel makes installation possible virtually anywhere. 2K resolution with good low light will bring your subjects in more clearly than HD resolution. You will need the free app, CloudEdge to view the camera and it’s currently only possible to view on mobile devices. The only criticism I have is it takes a few seconds for a motion event to trigger recording so if someone passes by quickly, the camera might pick up the activity late, or not pick it up at all. An alternate location for the camera may improve this. I’ll probably get another one to cover both sides of the house.

Thus far this Floodlight Camera has far exceeded my expectations. The light brightens up the night, the camera pictures are clear, and the siren will definitely be a deterrent. The app was easy to download, the camera set-up was flawless, and the price was right. Thank you ieGeek!

ZS-GX5S review This is an honest review for the ieGeek 2K Floodlight Security Camera (ZS-GX5S). It was set up/connected using a wifi router as well as a hot spot from a phone. Connection was only established by the second attempt on both occasions. A slight lag/delay of the live video was noticed, which is expected of these type of cameras. A slight delay occurs with the audio on the video recorded. The AI human detection did detect and alert to motion when non human objects were moved in front of the camera (some false positives). I have noticed that when changing some settings (eg linked lighting, linked buzzer), the app needs to be closed off and reopened for the change to be properly registered. So if you made a change and the feature is not working, simply close and reopen the app. The flood lights are very bright and offers a wider lighting coverage due to its design. The camera is slightly heavy, which is I believe due to the larger batteries used for longer battery life than the other brands. The 130° wide angle field of view allows for wider viewing. The two way audio works well enough to understand what is being communicated either way. Siren is loud enough to raise an alarm. Pros: Very bright flood light, very long battery life, Wide angle viewing, 2k resolution, AI Human Detection. Cons: Heavy (due to longer battery life), very wide and obvious front camera (due to the flood lights). The ieGeek 2K Floodlight Security Camera is an overall very good camera.

This is my third ieGeek camera and Im truly amazed at the level of innovation at a very reasonable price. Other comparable floodlight cameras typically cost at least double or three times as much and often dont have all the features ieGeek provides. In addition to my wireless, solar charged ieGeek PTZ camera I was looking for a security camera with better night time picture quality. This new camera didnt disappoint by delivering crystal clear night vision thanks to a super bright floodlight. The unit is located in an outside area without any external lighting and does a superb job in both HD picture quality and AI supported recognition of human movement even at high sensitivity settings. Integrating the new device into my existing CloudEdge app was seamless. In my opinion this camera checks all the boxes in terms of state-of-the-art technological features and solid build quality without busting the bank.

Opening the box, straight to the point with directions. In my opinion, super easy, no issues at all for connecting to your Wi-Fi. I leave to go to work, watch my dogs. Night vision is good which I really like it.

This camera arrived very well packaged, like all other ieGeek cameras that I have, so no shipping damage whatsoever. It was very easy to install using the CloudEdge app (which, by the way, has been recently improved considerably compared to earlier versions). The physical installation had one issue: the ball and socket joint of the solar panel mount could not be tightened, even when I tried to improvise by wrapping the ball with a piece of paper. The panel seems to be identical to panels that came with other ieGeek that I have, and which did not have this problem, so I am assuming that this is just a problem with this particular panel and others will not necessarily encounter it. The image quality was disappointing at first, but then I discovered that to get the QHD resolution I had to press the SD button on the live screen and select QHD from the popup menu, which improved the image quality considerably. The QHD images are quite good for security purposes, though dont expect it to be quite as good as an image that you take with your phone camera, for example. I like it that the user can control whether or not the floodlight is turned on when motion is detected, and also can turn it on whenever is needed for live view. Likewise, the siren can be disabled, enabled for motion detection events, or turned on whenever its needed. Both of these features can be useful under some circumstances. The solar panel works very well - the battery charge level shown full charge at all times, even though my solar panel does not get direct sunlight most of the time. That said, I dont have many motion detection events in a day, so I am not sure if the panel will suffice in a situation where the event frequency is much higher. One shortcoming of this camera is the lack of PTZ functionality, which limits its usefulness to situations where PTZ is not needed.

The camera was relatively easy to set up and connect to my wireless. No Problem with range of reception. I did lose the connection once, but it was able to reconnect on its own. I have had no issues with the solar panel keeping the batteries charged, even in Michigans typical overcast winter weather.
