The S4 Pro is a complete redesign from our V4 model. Enhanced with more advanced features, with a new WiFI or 4G chip for even better connectivity, all the while keeping our top-rated no. 1 battery.
How to instructions would be beneficial. Just the fact that you can tap on a spot on the top image and then the bottom image will rotate to that spot. That's very helpful. After that you can zoom in and what you want to see. Just quick tutelage would be appreciated.
We have had several break ins at my parent’s farm house. I bought your product to be my watch dog and it has been awesome. It hasn’t missed a beat operating in sub zero weather. The zoom capability is amazing. I can rotate the camera and zoom in on objects anytime I need to. I bought the cellular system and it works good, but has a little delay due to poor cell signal in the area. I need to purchase the booster that you sell. I have and will continue to recommend this surveillance system to everyone. My biggest concern was battery life in the cold weather, but that is not an issue at all. In fact, I have never seen it move off 100% charge. I will be buying a couple more in the future to protect other investments.
Just put the camera up but it’s working as advertised so far. Very nice
Not complaining but it took 3 1/2 weeks to get here but I will say it was worth the wait so far.
Looking forward for reliability and battery life
Thank you for such a great security camera
Best camera I have seen and bought so far, have to see it and use it to really appreciate it, feel sturdy, good quality videos, work as security camera should work like. I have no issues with it yet.
After testing for 4 weeks now..
1. Packaging is great, clean and delivery is very fast, we got ours within 2 days which is great and they do have the expedited version available.
2. Their customer service is reallllly good, literally just call and someone is there to help, or email and they reply numerous times a day. It's been very nice while doing all my testing.
3. Dual 4K lens is clear and good, the automatic feature is in 1080p, so you do have to click to enter 4k mode. It is very clear and night color vision is also great.
4. The optical zoom is incredible, their photos that they advertise looks unreal but it actually is true.. Personally and I think for most, it's unnecessary to zoom in that far, but hey the feature is available and it is very clear.
5. Solar panel and battery charges very well, the first day we tested for hours and the battery got down to 20%. The next day near 1pm, it was already back up to 100%, but yes we do get strong sun. Since then, we've been averaging 80-100% in battery and we get about 20 events of like 20 seconds each per day.
6. The connection is very good, we haven't had any issues whatsoever, especially for rural areas, other cameras do face quite an issue but it was unnoticeable with this camera, I saw they also offer extended antennas but we didn't need them during this testing.
7. Overall this camera is definitely pricier than the other brands we've tested, but honestly.. it is worth the price if you can afford it. We rate it 9.5/10, only thing that could have been improved is the app interface which they mentioned they're working on already so I'm looking forward to it. Again, very collaborative company!!

S4-Pro (WiFi) camera with solar recharge power is excellent quality and the clarity of the video is flat TOP-SHELF. If you have a dual band router / WiFi - the camera will automatically connect to 2.4GHz. You do not need a dedicated 2.4GHz net.
But there are negatives:
1) NiView App is unimpressive, not user friendly, hard to navigate - user unfriendly. Many controls (e.g., sound) do not allow user to set a default setting. Accessing stored video & finding the one you want it a crap shoot. Doesn’t come close to the viewer app used by Nest cameras.
2) Company needs to make a detailed video showing installation - both with solar panel attached and separated. Videos only show setting the camera up.
Awesome camera wanted something that was a little more affordable for keeping an eye on cows while not home and this is great. Took a like extra time as it only work on 4g or less so had to get our internet provider to open another network and as I have an old phone took a little extra to connect camera to network but luv the camera.
Excellent Cameras. Really good for remote sites and areas with no power. Easy to install and get the cameras up and running. We are on our 10th camera.
Best camera I have seen and bought so far, have to see it and use it to really appreciate it, feel sturdy, good quality videos, works as security camera should work like. I have no issues with it yet, cloud storage pricy in my opinion, very pricy
Camera was purchased to monitor incoming vehicles and drive activity. Unfortunately after long interactions with customer service, it is not designed for that purpose. It is designed more for human activity. The functionality of the camera is quite good but not easy to navigate, camera only comes with most basic instructions, but again the customer support is very good and they were able to walk me through many of the features. I am keeping the camera as they have promised a software upgrade they will send along to help with vehicle motion detection in the near future.
At first, I was hesitant on the V4's ability to maintain a strong connection, especially in our rural area where signal can be a hit or miss. However, after 3 months of use, I'm happy to say that connection has been solid. Even during bad weather, camera stayed online and provided clear footage. Battery life has also exceeded my expectations, haven't had to touch it since install. We're super satisfied and recommend it for its reliability.

Camera worked well for resident security. Excellent for night viewing with or without the light. Detection was ok. Sometimes would not pick up moving targets like animals depending on the distance. One option would be to have tracking of subjects or even identify what initiated the recording. WiFi worked well at a distance. Battery maintained a good voltage with no issues. Price is average.
Great product for the price. I purchased two of these premium invention surveillance cameras (the WI-FI version) and the performance surpassed my expectations. The cameras were installed in a house in Nigeria under direct sunlight. Before installation, I charged the batteries for three days, and ever since the installation, the batteries are still in full charge. These premium invention surveillance cameras are working perfectly. The daylight and night visions are incredibly clear and distinct. I have been receiving notifications of both humans and vehicles that the cameras are picking up on a daily basis since I returned to the United States. I also have wired Lorex NVR cameras, fusion series installed. The only difference is that the Lorex NVR wired surveillance cameras come with a 2TB hard drive for local storage while the premium Invention cameras can only use a 128MB storage device that is sold separately. I recommend these premium invention cameras for anyone who cannot avoid the wired NVR surveillance cameras which are relatively more expensive.

The unit is on a pole in the yard and it is linking to the wifi located in the middle of the house. I was worried about the distance, but it hasn't been a problem. Good picture quality daytime or night.
