The App Cam Solo is a full HD, weatherproof smart camera. Completely wire-free, the AppCam is battery powered with advanced power-saving technology featuring up to 180 days standby time. With quick and easy installation, the camera can be placed anywhere inside or outside of the home. Offering a 110-degree viewing angle, which provides a greater field of vision, the AppCam Solo can be fitted to any flat surface with an easy-to-install magnetic base. Also included is an optional screw base for those less easy-to-reach areas, such as the front door. Cameras can be mounted at an angle to suit any situation and easily moved around the home without the need to re-wire or place near a power source, providing complete flexibility when setting up viewing angles. The AppCam Solo connects directly to the local Wi-Fi network and features motion detection recording directly to an SD card. Users can access the App Cam Solo with a Smartphone or tablet via the free to download Uniden Solo app, which also provides users remote access to the cameras to check-in from anywhere in the world. With optional app push notifications when motion or sound is detected, users can be reassured the home is safe while at work or on holiday. Users can connect as many cameras as they wish in areas such as the driveway, garage, front and back entrances and upstairs. The camera can even be used to check on pets or babies while in other areas of the house. The camera features PIR motion sensor, which detects movement and will send notifications to the user via the app. Users have the ability to two-way talk in real time through the camera, for easy communication with visitors including couriers, while also acting as a deterrent to unwanted guests. The flexible, innovative Uniden App Cam Solo camera provides peace of mind at home or while away.
