Vosker V200 | Cellular Security Camera | Built-in Solar Panel | LTE, Wireless, Weatherproof, No Wi-Fi Required | Motion Activated Outdoor Surveillance Cameras | Mobile Photo Notifications (V200)

I purchased 5 of these cameras in Sept of 2021. They worked great...the 1st week. I received replacements for 2 of the V200's because they crapped out right at the start of hunting season in Nov 2021 when they were needed the most for trespassers. This past spring, 2 additional of my original cameras that I had just put back up at the end of winter crapped out and I was told they had no V200's available, I HAD to downgrade to the V150 which has none of the options I wanted this particular camera for. I could not even upgrade because the V300's were not available either, all of their inventory was at Best Buy. So, not happy about it at all but I needed cameras, I downgraded to the V150 only to find I now have to go retrieve the battery to charge it, it doesn't take AA batteries like the v200 AND you have to purchase a plan for each camera, the V200 you could go with a free plan for 100 pictures. Well, the latest update is, my 2 replacement V200's and my one remaining original v200 all crapped out within a few weeks of hunting season and I just retrieved one of the v150's from the woods (that I just put up in Oct hoping they would last at least a month or 2) because it just stopped sending pics and unless you constantly monitor it's last communication, you have no idea if it's working or not, brought it home to charge the battery and about a quarter cup of water came out of the unit. The only thing these cameras are good for is if you install them inside a temperature controlled building because they do not do well exposed to any elements. So 4 of my Vosker cameras are currently paper weights and I would not be surprised if the last one has crapped out as well because we got a dusting of snow today and it probably got water in it like the other one through the solar panel. These cameras are WAY over priced for the short life span that they have and I will NEVER purchase another Vosker product. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! If it was one camera out of 5 that I had an issue with, i could live with that but it's four out of five that didn't work for more than a few months and even the replacements didn't make it more than a few months. I am currently trying a different product for a 10th of the price and it has continued to send pictures even after a bear punctured the motion sensor.

We are building a house out in the country that is over an hour drive one way from our house. We wanted to be able to keep an eye on the construction process to know when it would be worth our time to drive up to the site and back. From my research, I determined the best type of camera was one that had solar charging capabilities and also cellular built-in in order to send me photos when there was activity. So I bought this camera. I played around with it for over a month at my home in order to get a sense of how the camera worked and which settings were the best for me. The camera is super easy to activate and you get one month free of the elite plan, which is unlimited photos. I ended up opting to continue this plan after the one month free trial period. For $20 a month I can get as many photos as I want sent to me and 40 photos upgraded to high DEF if requested. Once I had a good feel of how the camera and the associated app worked, we drove up to the construction site and found a tree that pointed toward the site that we felt had a good point of view. I’m glad I played around with this at home first so I didn’t have to fool around with it when we were setting it up. I love the VOSKER app and set the camera to send me photos every two hours. This camera is working wonderfully and since it’s been installed it has maintain 100% battery power through the solar panel. It helps that we have a cell tower on a mountain above our build side which gives a 5 x 5 signal. The night vision took a photo of a couple deer walking around the construction site at 1 AM from 50 feet away in complete darkness. We had a person who came to the site and I thought that he worked for our builder but wasn’t sure from the standard definition photos sent so I requested a high def photo and determined that this was the guy I thought it was. The camera is doing everything we hoped it would and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. I am thinking that maybe some of the one star reviews came at a time when VOSKER was doing a software upgrade that caused people issues. That is partly the reason why I wanted to do a review. I couldn’t be more thrilled with my purchase.
