The App Cam Solo is a full HD, weatherproof smart camera. Completely
wirefree, the app cam is battery powered with advanced power-saving
technology featuring up to 180 days standby time. With quick and easy
installation, the camera can be placed anywhere inside or outside of the
home.

Offering a 130-degree viewing angle, which provides a greater field of vision,
the Guardian App Cam Solo can be fitted to any flat surface with an easy-to
install magnetic base. Also included is an optional screw base for those more
easy-to-reach areas, such as the front door. Cameras can be twisted to an
angle to suit any situation and easily moved around the home without the
need to re-wire or place near a power source, providing complete flexibility
when setting up viewing angles.

The App Cam Solo connects directly to the local Wi-Fi network and features
motion detection recording directly to an SD card. Users can access the App
Cam Solo with a Smart phone or tablet via the free to download Uniden Solo
app, which also provides users remote access to the cameras to check-in from
anywhere in the world. With optional app push notifications when motion or
sound is detected, users can be reassured the home is safe while at work or
on holiday.

Users can connect as many cameras as they wish in areas such as, the
driveway, garage, front and back entrances and upstairs. The camera can
even be used to check on pets or babies while in other areas of the house.

The camera features PIR motion sensor, which detects movement and will
send notifications to the user via the app. Users have the ability to two-way
talk in real time through the camera, for easy communication with visitors
including couriers, while also acting as a deterrent to unwanted guests.

The flexible, innovative Uniden App Cam Solo camera provides peace of mind
at home or while away.
