Every aosu solar camera runs on a built-in panel plus a rechargeable battery, so once it is mounted there is no charging cable to run and no outlet to find. Recordings stay on the camera or on an aosuBase hub in your home — there is no monthly subscription to keep footage.
This page covers the full solar range: single cameras for one entry point, and multi-camera systems that share one hub and track a person across the property.
Choose your solar setup
- SolarCam Lite 2K fixed-lens outdoor camera with PIR motion detection, full-colour night vision, spotlight and siren, IP66 rated. The simplest way to cover one door or driveway.
- SolarCam D1 Classic 2K with 360° pan-and-tilt coverage, auto motion tracking, two-way audio and an integrated alarm. Pick this when one camera has to watch a whole yard rather than a single approach.
- SolarCam D1 SE 5MP panoramic PTZ with human auto-tracking, full-colour night vision, spotlight and siren, IP66 rated. More detail than the 2K models at the same 360° coverage.
- SolarCam P1 Max 4K Ultra HD with AI-powered detection, smart alarm and spotlight, and full-colour night vision. The highest resolution in the single-camera line.
- SolarCam T2 Pro Dual-lens: a 170° wide-angle view paired with a 360° PTZ lens, with on-device AI that detects and auto-tracks. Lights, siren and two-way audio built in.
When one camera is not enough
Multi-camera systems add an aosuBase or aosuCortex hub. The hub holds the recordings locally and lets the cameras hand a moving subject from one to the next instead of each camera logging its own disconnected clip.
- SolarCam D1 Classic Kit — 2K cameras with 360° coverage and cross-camera tracking, recording to 32GB of internal storage in the aosuBase 1.0.
- SolarCam System Max — 5MP clarity with a 166° field of view and intelligent cross-camera tracking.
- SolarCam D1 Classic 6-Cam Kit — Six 5MP cameras with 360° auto-tracking for larger plots, on the new aosuBase.
- SolarCam T2 Ultra System — 4K colour night vision, 360° coverage with auto patrol, triple detection and 90-day local storage on the new aosuBase.
- SolarCam D1 Classic 8-Cam with aosuCortex — Eight cameras, 3K UHD colour night vision and 360° PTZ, controlled from one app.
How much sunlight a camera actually needs
Solar cameras are sized so that a few hours of daylight offsets a day of normal recording; the battery carries the camera through nights and overcast stretches. Mounting matters more than climate — a panel angled toward open sky on a south-facing wall collects far more than one tucked under an eave or shaded by a tree for half the day.
If a spot genuinely gets no direct sun, a plug-in model is the more honest choice. Those are on the wired security cameras page.
