The company or PR agency typically provides most review samples, but they do not influence my content, and I always provide my honest opinion. The Baseus S1 Outdoor Security Camera is an interesting surveillance camera that comes with a built-in solar panel, a feature I've seen on other models like the EufyCam S3 Pro and AOSU C9C-4H SolarCam. What sets this model apart is the ability of the solar panel to rotate and track the sun. Baseus claims that this feature allows the camera to capture double the amount of solar energy. While I'm somewhat skeptical of this claim, it may depend on the camera's orientation and sun exposure. Moreover, this camera is reasonably priced, with discounts bringing it down to around £60. It also offers 8GB of built-in local storage and does not require a subscription, unlike other brands like Arlo and Ring. The camera's specifications include a 2K resolution, a single lens with a 145-degree field of view, a motorized auto-tilt solar panel with up to 40 degrees of horizontal tracking, 8GB internal memory, a 10,400 mAh rechargeable battery, colour and infrared night vision supported by a 400-lumen LED floodlight, IP67 weather resistance, two-way audio with noise cancellation, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connectivity, adjustable ball mount for mounting, and app support for Android and iOS via the Baseus Security App. One of the standout features of the Baseus S1 is its auto-tilt solar panel, which adjusts itself to follow the sun throughout the day. This design claims to double the energy harvested compared to fixed panels, reducing the need for manual recharging. During testing in a typical British summer, the S1 maintained a full battery, showcasing reliable solar performance. The motorized panel operates quietly and provides a tangible benefit, especially in installations with changing sunlight direction or obstructions. Video and audio capabilities of the camera are impressive, with 2K resolution providing clear footage during the day and powerful LEDs and infrared sensors ensuring clear images at night. The two-way audio system is useful for interacting with visitors, and noise cancellation helps in reducing background noise. The built-in 8GB storage eliminates the need for a cloud subscription, storing up to 1.5 months of video clips. Privacy controls are robust, ensuring GDPR compliance and peace of mind. With an IP67 rating, the camera is weatherproof and can withstand various elements. The app support for Android and iOS is user-friendly, providing easy access to live monitoring, customizations, and event review. Baseus offers a range of models to cater to different needs and budgets, including the S1 Pro, S1, and S1 Lite. The S1 Pro is a dual-camera kit with additional features, while the S1 Lite is an entry-level option. Overall, the Baseus S1 Outdoor Security Camera offers excellent value for money, especially when discounted. Its unique features, solid performance, and affordable price make it a compelling choice for basic home surveillance needs.
