GENBOLT 3G/4G LTE Cellular Solar Security Camera Outdoor Wireless, 8W 15600mAh Battery Operated Surveillance Camera No WiFi, Dual Lens Spotlight IP Camera CCTV with SIM Card

This is my review of a purchased item and not part of any evaluation or free product. The Genbolt 4G SIM security camera is ideal for those hard to reach places outdoors that has no wifi access or LAN or POE wiring connections and because it has its own 8W solar panel included and a substantial rechargeable battery, having no electricity supply nearby not a problem at all. The camera came with a 4G sim card already installed and data access was activated as soon as I connected the camera to the Genbolt app using my mobile phone which is simply accomplished by scanning the QR code on the camera. The sim card included has 300Mb of free data for setting the camera up. Afterwards more data can be purchased online for 30 days use, €9 being the minimum cost, depending on how much data is required. The camera can use any 4G LTE sim card, if the settings for APN information is known. The quality of the camera is very good both construction and the optical resolution is sharp and clear, with the added advantage of having two cameras, one fixed and one that tilts and pans using the app on my phone. All camera settings are in the Genbolt app, including recorded video from both cameras, which can be viewed on my mobile phone. The easiest recording method is to use a SD card slotted into the camera body (purchased separately) but optional cloud subscription is available online if required. I temporary fixed the camera and solar panel outside on my garden arch to test it's effectiveness in capturing images, and the human detection is very accurate, with low, medium and high sensitivity settings. The IP rating is yet to be tested, as it was a nice sunny day when I fitted the camera, but it's designed for outdoors, so I will see how it fairs in wet, windy, and snow conditions over the winter months. Overall, I found it a good purchase, and it has fulfilled my main requirements of outdoor surveillance in a remote area. I rated this product 5 star, because it was simplicity itself to set up, and fulfilled all my requirements.

The camera has excellent video quality and movement tracking. It uses a SIM card and a solar panel, and the battery has always been fully charged and worked regardless of the weather. I had only one issue with the SD card or something similar, but it was resolved by the Genbolt team. My camera was replaced. It’s worth trying their products because they are much better than other products. Thank you

I’m genuinely impressed with this GENBOLT dual-lens camera. Setup was quick and easy. Just fully charge it, download the GENBOLT app, and scan the barcode or connect via Bluetooth. It comes with a free pre-installed international data SIM to use straight away. The video quality is excellent crisp, clear. Night vision is powerful with a bright spotlight, and the camera hasn’t discoloured in the sun light. The solar panel keeps it fully charged at 100%. It's waterproof. It also features two way audio, local SD card storage, and optional cloud backup. Build quality is solid, and the whole system feels premium and reliable. Definitely a 5-star product!

I've had a lot of security cameras, but this one is the worst ever, won't connect, utter waste of money

great camera, the pan tilt and zoom function is great and the human detection and PIR detection work great too, I paid for a year of the data that comes with the included sim as it was reasonably priced and has good coverage where I am using it, although I believe other sims will work too if you have signal issues. I use it for security on my allotment which is off grid and away from any wifi and it performs brilliantly. I charged it manually through usb before setting it up with the solar panel and its not needed charging since. I don't have the data plan at the moment but I inserted a 128gb microsd and have set it to record when it detects movement though the PIR this function works great and I can view the recorded footage remotely, occasionally the remote link up can be a little slow but it works fine and can playback video stored on the sd no problem. if you're looking for a truly off grid camera that's pretty easy to use and great value for money then I recommend this one.

Great camera for certain uses outdoor. The setup is slightly more complicated if you wish to use your own nano SIM card. GENBOLT supplies their own sim with a small amount of data included but you can manually setup your own sim as long as you know the APN details and enter it at specific time when setting up camera. You do this through the GENBOLT app choose manual setup and look carefully at bottom of the screen and it allows you to setup your own Sim. Not very clear ! The camera is great for using to monitor large outdoor areas with top camera fixed in position but you can still zoom in on objects when viewing live feed. The other camera can be configured using predefined zones numbered 1 to 6. You use PTZ and then set an area to view. Then you can jump to the predefined zones to look around or use PTZ arrows to manually move about. The camera tracks human movement other movements in my case tree branches are alerted on app. I use the camera to monitor livestock in a large field and the Smarty (3 mobile) sim with unlimited data works wells with this camera (once configured). I am more than happy with this camera especially for the price. Solar powered and 4g network suits a large outdoor remote area perfectly. I would recommend this camera for the price. There are other more obscure 4g solar cameras in the market but they have build in 4G virtual sims which cannot be replaced. The next camera up in my opinion is the Reolink solar 4g camera but it is 3 times the price! Customer service within the app is also very good, with responses from live chat.

Excellent Wireless Security Camera! The GENBOLT 3G/4G LTE Solar Security Camera is a game-changer for areas without WiFi. With 3G/4G LTE connectivity, it provides a smooth live feed, and the 8W solar panel + 12,000mAh battery ensures 24/7 power. The dual-lens design delivers a wide, HD view, while spotlights and night vision provide a clear visual output, both in color and black & white. It’s perfect for checking on your property at night, with sharp, detailed footage. Smart motion detection sends instant alerts, and its weatherproof build handles all conditions. A standout feature is the ability to set and edit specific preset views, making it easy to quickly check key areas of your property with a tap. Just be sure to fully plug in the solar connection during setup for optimal performance. Product support is also great—while responses can take a few hours, they are quick to offer solutions or even resolve issues remotely. Plus, eSIM top-ups are well-priced for the data allocation, making ongoing use affordable. If you need reliable, wireless outdoor security, this is the perfect choice! 5/5 – Highly recommended!

This is my fourth Genbolt camera to finish the full coverage we need for our house inside and out. Well made of lightweight plastic. After removing from box and reading basic instructions, scanning the camera into the app it found it quickly and installed it. The sim card that came with it is already configured and connected first time. As it comes with 300mb of free data there was plenty to set it all, having only used about 11mb. Top-up is easy to do within the app and several options are available, like monthly, quarterly or yearly options. There are two len's, one fixed and one roaming. Both are really clear in both day and night. The humanoid detection is good too, though the 'all detection' will pick up moths at night, and anything swaying so best to keep on humanoid. The solar panel keeps the battery full and is quite large for 8W. Certainly worth the money paid.
