Question 1

Can this do continuous recording with no manual battery charging after initial setup?

Accepted Answer

Well, the short answer to your question is "No", but here's the long explanation, please be patient when reading it. lol
My solar panel supplies the power to enable this ieGeek camera function right from the beginning day of installation. FYI, I live in mid Texas with plenty of sunshine in early Spring, and it takes about 8 solar-hours to fully charge 100% its batteries capacity. Initially on the first day my new camera's Basic Function Power Management wouldn't show any % of its Remaining Battery (blank) as it was charging, but ever since it's full now it's showing "100%" all the time, day & night. Of course, if I had to properly redo it all over again and had enough time, I'd first charge my camera manually through its included USB cable to its 100% fully charge capacity PRIOR I put it on to full operation; this way, it can potentially prolong the life cycles of its batteries inside the unit in the long run.

I also purchase 128 GB Micro SD Card which I put inside the camera to record. It doesn't record continuously 24/7 with the SD Card, it only makes picture/screen shots and short seconds of video recordings when there are Live Motion Detection alerts caught by the camera. It has no computer App or disks to record either, recording history as well as Live view can only be played through cellphone (with other phones sharing-accepted capability via App). The CloudEdge App gives my SD Card Recording Time options of 20, 40, and 60 seconds, after formatting it. The App also offers 7 days free Cloud Storage Service to try, but I don't activate this to avoid paying monthly/annual fee; so I'm not sure if this Cloud Storage Service may provide continuous 24/7 recording coverage or not? At this time, I'm pretty satisfied with checking periodically my Alarm Messages from the camera's history of recordings (when it's alerted by motions within its coverage scope of around 30-some feet away). I turn off my Receive Notifications feature (to avoid frequent beeps on my cellphone), and mostly put Low on my Motion Detection Alarm setting. To my delight, actually this camera is sensitive enough to catch human movements such as a mail carrier walking in or car passing by on the street (I installed it on top of my garage overlooking my driveway), but it won't trigger annoying alerts with fluttering small insects flying nearby the camera. It captures great day & night HD quality views too, and it gets my 5-star review rating!

Question 2

What does icloud do for their camera? does it keep real time video data? why should i purchase it?

Accepted Answer

I don’t use the cloud storage. Put a 128gig micro as card in it and good to go. When you get notifications because of movement, those pics are on your phone or computer.
