“Top quality camera, does exactly as advertised. Very good picture quality day or night. I will be getting another one.”

Three reasons. No rent.
1
Card.
It saves in the camera. Yours to keep.
Footage records to the 64GB SD card inside the camera, and the card comes free in the box. It stays on your property, on your card, not on a server you rent space on.
2
Phone.
It shows on your phone, from anywhere. Family too.
Live view, alerts and recordings in the free app, wherever you are. Unlimited family sharing is free, so your partner and the kids see the same feed, encrypted and password‑protected.
3
Sun.
The sun looks after power. Your own SIM looks after signal.
One 8‑hour USB‑C charge, then the 7.5W panel keeps it topped up, with four‑plus days in reserve when there's no sun. The 4G model runs on your own Telstra or Optus SIM; the Wi‑Fi model joins your home network.
Card. Phone. Sun.
No camera subscription. Own the camera.
The rent adds up.
Subscription cameras charge you every month to see your own footage, and the bill never finishes. Here's how a small plan grows.
Example: a $10‑a‑month camera plan
An example for illustration, not any company's price. Per camera, plans vary.

Straight answers.
Is there really no subscription?
None, and there never will be. The app is free, recording is free, family sharing is free. You pay for the camera once.
Where does my footage go?
Onto the 64GB SD card inside the camera, which comes free in the box, and it syncs to your phone automatically. You own the camera and you own the footage.
Can I watch it when I'm away?
Yes. Live view, alerts and playback work from anywhere your phone has a connection.
Can the family see it too?
Yes. Unlimited family sharing at no cost: your partner, your kids, a neighbour. Everyone gets the same live view and alerts.
Does it need Wi‑Fi?
Choose the model to suit the spot. Wi‑Fi if your router reaches it; 4G on your own Telstra or Optus SIM if it doesn't. Starlink compatible too.
What if it's not for me?
You have 30 days to send it back for a full refund, return shipping covered. It comes with a 1‑year warranty, extendable to 2 years.
