From Setup to Recording, With or Without Internet
The Elder 3K Solar Security Camera System can be viewed locally on a monitor without internet, remotely through the smartphone app without a monitor, or both at the same time. Here is how each setup works.
Deeper Than the Spec Sheet
The Elder 3K Solar Security Camera System is a wire-free security solution for homes and businesses with 3K (5MP) video, approximately 160° diagonal field of view, up to 8X digital zoom, solar charging, 7800mAh rechargeable batteries, smart detection, and encrypted local storage. Proudly designed in Canada, it provides reliable monitoring without a mandatory monthly subscription.
Each camera can deliver up to 180 days of use on a full charge based on approximately 10 events per day. An additional solar panel can be connected to each camera via USB-C if needed, helping boost charging performance in locations with limited sunlight.
The cameras support PIR motion detection, AI person detection, AI sound detection, custom activity zones, two-way audio, infrared night vision, color night vision with spotlight, and motion-activated light and siren deterrence, with flexible wall or ceiling mounting and IP66 weather resistance. Operating temperature is −20°C to 50°C (−4°F to 122°F).
The 8-channel HomeBase supports up to 8 cameras and includes 64GB of local storage, expandable up to 2TB with supported microSD or HDD storage. The system supports up to approximately 240 days of event loop recording, depending on storage capacity and usage. Local recordings are encrypted, while optional cloud storage is available separately.
The HomeBase uses H.265 video compression, 12V DC power, and connects to a router through 2.4GHz WiFi or a network cable. It supports 2.4GHz WiFi only, not 5GHz.
Local viewing works without internet or WiFi by connecting the HomeBase to a monitor or TV through HDMI. Internet connection is required for remote smartphone or tablet viewing, Alexa, Google Assistant, and other online features.
The mobile app supports live remote viewing, smart event playback, two-way talk, family and device sharing, and simultaneous viewing of up to 4 cameras on one screen. The system also works with compatible Alexa and Google Assistant devices for smart-home access.
