There are hundreds of home security cameras on the market, radically ranging from prices, functionality and quality, but only a few offer solar energy. After CNET years to test home security cameras, we have some advice if you are looking for a new solar energy security camera. Here are some parameters to consider.
Confidentiality
It’s a big problem. You don’t want anyone looking at your property or hacking your camera. Wireless home safety cameras may be more likely to hack due to their connectivity to Wi-Fi networks and remote access. The wired home safety cameras are more secure.

Video resolution
Video quality should be a major consideration when buying a home security camera, whether solar or not. In the simplest terms, your camera will not be effective if the only recorded sequence is grainy and illegible.
The higher the resolution, the better the video quality. Most home security cameras on the market now have a 1080p resolution, but others even have a 2K resolution (such as the Arlo Pro 4) or a resolution of 1,536 x 1,536 pixels (such as Arlo video bell ). Remember that the more the quality of the video is high, the more it comes to the bandwidth and the more your camera is likely to feel late time or seeds.
Local storage vs cloud
You have two main options: there is a cloud storage, which sends your video sequences to a remote server to record, and local storage, which is based on an accessory or separate equipment, usually a microSD card, to contain all images that you like to save. Usually cloud storage requires monthly costs.
