Never. Store up to 512GB locally on a micro TF card (sold separately or with bundles). You have the option to pay for cloud storage but is completely optional. The local TF card allows the exact same functionality.

All AI detection (people, cars, pets, packages), motion tracking, smart alerts, and app access are included forever. You pay once. You own it. Done.

Compare that to Ring (often around $60–$360/year depending on plan and number of cameras) or Arlo (commonly $100+/year for cloud recording and AI features) or ReoLink and you'll save hundreds over the camera's life.

Nope. Everything comes in the box except a micro TF card (if you want local storage). Camera, solar panel, mounting hardware, screws – it's all there.

You'll need Wi-Fi at home and the free KeldCo app (iOS or Android). That's it.

Optional: Micro TF cards for storage (we offer bundles with cards included at a discount).

$329 includes:

• SolarCam 3.0 camera (3K resolution)
• Solar panel with 3m cable
• Mounting bracket (multiple hole options)

No hidden costs. No subscriptions. No BS.

Under 5 minutes for most people. Seriously.

• Connect to app (≈30 seconds)
• Mount bracket (≈30 seconds)
• Position solar panel (≈30 seconds)

We've timed it – average is around 3-5 minutes. There's a video on this page showing real-time setup.

No electrician. No wiring through walls. No complicated configuration. Just mount, position, connect to Wi-Fi, done.

Absolutely! We designed it for renters too.

No-drill options:

• Heavy-duty zip ties (around poles, railings)
• Gutter mount brackets (clips onto roof edge)
• Fence post clamps (grip-on style)
• Tree mounting (screwed into tree trunk – won't harm the tree)

Zip ties from Bunnings cost $5. Gutter brackets are $12–20 or make your own. Both work perfectly and leave zero damage to property.

Perfect for bond inspections – remove in 30 seconds.

For screw mount:

• Drill (for pilot holes)
• Screwdriver
• Pencil (to mark holes)
• Your phone (for the app)

For no-drill mount:

• Heavy-duty zip ties ($5)
• Scissors (to trim excess)
• Your phone (for the app)

That's it. Most Aussie homes already have these tools in the garage.

Works on any typical Australian surface:

Permanent (screw mount):

• Brick walls
• Weatherboard
• Colorbond fences
• Rendered walls
• Timber posts
• Concrete
• Tree trunks

Non-permanent (no-drill):

• Balcony railings
• Fence posts
• Pipes & poles
• Roof gutters
• Pergola beams

Tested on typical Australian home construction.

The 5000mAh battery holds enough charge for 2-3 months of regular use without any sun at all.

The 3m solar panel cable lets you position the panel in full sun while the camera stays in shade. This is the key – you don't need sun on the camera itself.

Even on cloudy days, the panel maintains charge. The camera is designed for Australian conditions – works great year-round, even in Melbourne's variable weather.

Worst case (weeks of no sun): charge via USB-C cable (4–6 hours for full charge).

With the solar panel in decent sun: indefinitely. The battery stays topped up continuously.

Without any sun at all: 2–3 months of regular use (based on ~20–30 motion events per day).

The camera is smart – it only records when motion is detected, not 24/7, which conserves battery.

Battery health: lithium battery rated for 1000+ full charge cycles (years of use).

Yes, but you'll need to recharge it every 2–3 months via USB-C cable (not included, but any standard phone charger works).

We strongly recommend using the solar panel – it's included in the box and makes the camera truly "set and forget". Most customers never touch it after installation.

The 3m cable gives you plenty of flexibility to position the panel wherever gets sun.

3K (5MP) gives you around 67% more pixels than 2K and 2.4x more than 1080p.

What this means in real life:

• Read license plates from around 15 - 20m away
• Identify faces clearly, even at distance
• Zoom in digitally without losing clarity
• See package labels and fine details
• Better night vision (more pixels = more detail)

Ring's most common battery cameras are 1080p, with a few newer models offering higher resolutions at a higher price. Many Arlo cameras are 2K, with some premium models up to 4K which have massive buffering issues. We use 3K – higher than most mainstream battery cameras, without creating lag or buffering issues on typical home internet using a commercial grade chip.

It's the difference between "someone was there" and "that's exactly who it was."

Depends on how much activity you record:

128GB card:

• ~1,000 motion events
• 2–4 weeks of typical home use
• Good for a single camera

256GB card:

• ~2,000 motion events
• 4-12 weeks of typical use
• Great for busy areas

512GB card:

• ~4,000 motion events
• 3-6 months of typical use
• Maximum supported

The camera overwrites the oldest footage when the card is full. You can also download clips to your phone anytime.

We offer bundle deals with cards included.

Motion-activated recording only (not 24/7).

Why? Three reasons:

• Saves battery life dramatically
• Saves storage (no hours of empty driveway)
• Easy to find events (no scrolling through hours of nothing)

The camera starts recording at a maximum of 1 second when motion is detected (pre-buffering), so you never miss the start of an event.

You can adjust motion sensitivity in the app from low (less sensitive) to high (more sensitive).

Works up to around 30–50m from your Wi-Fi router in typical Australian homes (brick, weatherboard). Best to see if you get good wifi reception in the area with your phone and if you do it'll be perfect for the Solar Cam Pro 3.0

Range depends on:

• Wall thickness (brick reduces range)
• Router quality (newer routers = better range)
• Interference (other Wi-Fi networks, microwaves, etc.)

Tips for best connection:

• Use 2.4GHz Wi-Fi (much better range than 5GHz)
• Position camera as close to line-of-sight of router as possible
• Consider a Wi-Fi extender for distant locations

The high-performance chip ensures stable connection with minimal lag or buffering once connected.

Yes! View live footage from anywhere in the world through the KeldCo app (iOS or Android).

As long as:

• Camera is connected to your home Wi-Fi
• Your phone has internet (Wi-Fi or mobile data)

You'll get instant push notifications when motion is detected. Tap the notification to view live footage immediately.

Review recorded events, download clips, use 2-way talk or set off an ear piercing alarm – all from anywhere. No subscription required for remote access.

Advanced AI processes video on-device to identify:

• People
• Vehicles/cars
• Pets/animals
• Packages

You choose which types trigger alerts. For example:

• Notify me for people & packages only
• Ignore pets (no alerts every time the dog goes outside)

This eliminates false alerts from leaves, shadows, or birds. You only get notified for what matters.

The camera will also follow humans, pets and cars.

Toggle detection types on/off in the app in seconds. All AI processing is included free – no subscription required (Ring/Arlo/ReoLink charge extra).

Yes, both!

• ✅ Alexa & Google (Ring is focused on Alexa and doesn't currently support Google Home live view)
• ✅ Australian-based support

Ring advantages:
