I am impressed! I have worked with more than 20 different types of wifi cameras and make my own solar powered cameras based on open source components. It's great for its price. There are a few things to know about it's operation
- when it's in low light, there is about 2-3 second delay where it switches from normal vision to night vision when you access the camera. You can see this in the video as infra-red is not engaged until motion is detected. This causes an initial glow where objects can not be made out fully like a camera flash. So if an intruder is moving quicker in a small field of view, you may not catch a clear picture of them or even totally miss what object triggered the motion recording.
- there is no "pre-record" as in, recording is engaged perhaps a second or two after motion is detected. Some cameras will include seconds before motion was detected but with this camera that is not the case.
I believe a lot of this delay is due to the fact it's solar/battery powered and it's conserving power so it's important to make sure the camera has a field of view that accounts for the delay in video recording.
I'm super impressed with the quality of the components. It's not too often that you get such a strong base and heavy components (only heavy because of the durability) and strength for this price range, even the threading for the bolts is really, really nice and easy to assemble. I love all the attention to small details and part quality.
The video quality is also fantastic. Thanks Lynx!

Get Lynx pro the Solar model is iffy!
The concept is excellent when you do not want to deal with or cannot plug into AC power. But my 2 Tend Lynx solar cameras spent majority of the time off line period. I have spent many emails back and forth with tech support and they replaced 1. The second 1 I had watched get worse over the weeks until it would not stay on for a full day. I tested it by plugging in the power cable and leaving it on top of my wifi router. It still went to sleep or offline and would not power on until I got up on a ladder to press and hold the power button for random time intervals. The Lynx pro I super recommend loves them. The Solar model can be finicky. The replacement one I got from the company works better than the original. I have 6 but the 2 solar models were problems.
