Es un equipo verdaderamente funcional. Es demasiado útil y bueno para el uso que necesitaba.
El lugar no tiene red Wii fii local, entonces con la SIM de telefonía está trabajando de maravilla.
Estoy demasiado satisfecho.
Aa.. la instalación e inicio de funcionamiento prácticamente se hizo por si mismo, es demasiado fácil y aquí en Colombia no tuve lío con lo de las SIM.

La cámara tiene buena resolución, funciona bien con la señal wifi.... Lastimosamente el panel solar dejo de funcionar con solo 15 días de uso la estoy cargando con un cargador de celular.

My camera performed well for a year, consistently charging with the solar panel. However, it suddenly stopped charging, and even when I plugged it into an outlet with a USB cord, it wouldn't charge past 1%. I reached out to customer service through the UBox app, and they responded promptly, ultimately sending me a replacement. I'm giving this a five-star review for their excellent customer service, despite my first camera malfunctioning within a year.
Additionally, I want to mention that the installation process is straightforward, and the camera works effectively without Wi-Fi by using a SIM card instead. I have it installed by my barn (see the attached video). Even though it was quite dark outside, the video quality is still impressive, especially when set to medium rather than high quality.

I've been using the Xega 4G LTE Cellular Security Camera for over a year now, and it has been excellent. The 4G connection is reliable, making it perfect for remote areas without Wi-Fi. The solar panel keeps it powered continuously, so I never have to worry about charging. The image quality is clear, even at night, and the motion detection works well. After a year of use, it's still performing great. Highly recommend for off grid locations, farms, or cabins!

The quality of the picture is very good. And the battery doesn't run down fast. Connects very well. But I think the zoom capability is good but it can be improve.

Too expensive . Is a trick system where you keep on paying and paying and paying .

The camera works great and the customer service was outstanding.

Was a bit skeptical as I've tried other cellular ptz that lacked in quality as well as features. However this camera is worth the money, the option of cell provider as well as length of recording is a definite plus! The quality is comparable to some cam on the market but would love to see a 6mp or 8mp (4k or 8k) video quality one in the future. I do wish it also auto tracked but for the money can't really expect that.

Ease to set up

I like the fact that I don’t need wifi but the 4g plans are a lil pricey
Anthony Faraco
So far these cameras are working perfectly well.
The customer service has been exemplary. Other then a few off line issues with camera one I am very pleased with my cameras n support.
Mike Burke
I am downgrading this review. The camera stopped charging and customer support had me go to the remote location to charge it. I did this numous times and it still doesn't hold a charge or recharge with the solar panel.
The other problem is the cloud storage has never worked foe me.
Fortunately it is relatively inexpensive, but pretty much worthless.
I do not recommend this camera.

Great price and good quality .

Waste of money I literally spent 6hours trying to get this camera activated. I watched the YouTube video .. I followed all instructions for this mess to not work

I researched and compared cameras for hours and decided these cameras would work best. The value to financial commitment was in my favor. I purchased 3 cameras and I couldn't be happier that I got these cameras.
The mobile app gives you full control! I can share the cameras with my wife, kids and our parents. The video from the cameras have kept my vendors/trades honest. I have given video and pics to my builder that have saved me thousands of dollars in rework the trade said was done! That alone paid for the cameras.
I have captured wild life coming to visit the new house. When trades come to work in the mornings I know they are there and I know when they don't show so I can prepare for delays in the build.
I couldn't be happier with these cameras! The customer service works with you in the app and they are fast to respond with accurate details to keep you going. I am super happy I purchased these cameras.
Get these and you won't be disappointed.

I’ve had this camera for a few days down and so far I’m really impressed. I have this camera at my horse field. I have T Mobile and bought a SIM card through them that charges me $10 a month for the cellular data. The night vision works good as well as the light. Easy to set up and install. Really picture when it’s on HD! Easy to use the app. So far really impressed and great price.
Customer
This worked great for about a month then it wouldn't hold a charge anymore. I brought it into the house thinking it was just not getting enough sun. Still wouldn't charge. Reached out to customer service and they responded quickly and replaced the camera. That was great. This one worked about 3 weeks then wouldn't hold a charge anymore either. Also brought it in and put on a plug in charger. Actually 3 different ones with different cables to be sure it was the camera and not my chargers. Did not work. Reached out the their customer service again they are sending a replacement. The service is great but I'm not sure the camera or battery system is good quality? Will see with the third one. Also what do I do with the other two??? :(

Kiki, in customer service was very helpful and followed up with me after my purchase.
A little bit of a learning curve to set up the app but the camera picks up movement easily and clearly. I like that you can set a time period that you want the camera to record and notify us if there is movement.
Amazing
This goes back to cameras I’ve had, in the past, where setup was utterly impossible.
First, what SD card? Was there supposed to be one, like in a YT video ? If so, where is it?
Second, which app for my iPhone? UBox or UBell. Because the UBell icon is what appears in the manual, while it talks about using the UBox app. Both apps are similar because, lo and behold, they seem to be made by the same company. At one point in 4G setup, it wants to know some APN information. Can it be somewhat clear as to what it’s talking about? This is consumer/prosumer level. Not a tech guy hired to do the setup/install.
The indicator light? Blinks red/blue (purple). Won’t stay steady red or blue. I’ve also reset the thing. At one point, the instructions say to reset the SIM card, with my phone. My phone? I’m going to remove my phone SIM card, to use my phone as a reset device? Not likely! Update: Did this, my phone SIM turned indicator blue, so EIOT determined they’d send 2 new SIMs. New SIMs turned light steady blue — STILL NO CONNECTIVITY, WHICHEVER CARRIER IS USED!!!
When I turn on the camera, if the room isn’t well lit, I’m too blinded by the security lights, to even see the indicator lights, unless I cover them.
So far and unless I am able to obtain decent support, this looks to be a pricey, time and money sucking Frankenproduct.
I’ll update, as to whether there’s improvement or a long drawn out saga and waste of my time and a return. But soon, these cameras are likely to be returned as, the ONLY use they have, is for someone to sit pressing a button for weeks, while never installing them for their intended use. Bought them to fix a problem and, instead, got a new problem. Just a headache!

Simple setup and reliable performance. Clear and nearly instant view of remote places. Mine is mounted to a tree in the nearby forest. Maybe next time I'll catch the family of bears wandering through. Soon I'll take it to Louisiana to use on some land there. All it needs is cell service and sunshine. This is magic.

First of all the support is outstanding. I had a few questions and got help from several guys and a gal named Kiki. They always responded within the same day if not within minutes. Somehow Xega has managed to put together a support team that rivals any I have experienced. Now - for the hardware. I am using this to monitor my rural raw land 2000 miles away from where I live, while a driveway gets started and eventually a home build - this is in the mountains. I have yet to try it there but am going to next week. I know that Verizon is available on the road next to my property so we are only going to know if we get 4G signal after we get there and put it on a tree and try it out. To prepare for this I have tried this at home and it works great. If you are like me and are questioning all the steps involved in getting service from the SIM they provide, it is really simple and I would suggest using YouTube University for that. One question that support replied to was - how do I know the best service is where I am going? I was questioning if you had to buy T-Mobile or Verizon or ATT....its simple - when you buy your data plan you get all 3 and it selects the best one when you power on the hardware and hooks you to the right signal seamlessly. I paid about $80 for 6-GBytes of data. They referred to the plan as a 6 month plan but that is just because the average user goes through 10GB per month. I tried it and gauged my use by watching the video live and then logging off and looking at the data total you have left - easy to monitor. In the little time over 2-3 weeks just minimally testing triggers and live feed - I think it starts at 6.128GB and I am now at 5.997GB. Time is going to tell how much I use and if it triggers too often. That is the next subject - triggers. It has a setting of High-Med-Low. Even on low it was pretty trigger happy. Like my Blink it doesn't have a way to set exclusion zones in the field of view - say like if a tree limb always blows and moves in the wind - there is no way to exclude that zone and if you have that issue then data is going to get wasted. The final thought that I already fed to Xega suuport team is the way it uses 4G data. I was told that any time you turn on that app it is using 4G data. I understand that if you are looking at a live feed or video on your SD memory or have to set options on the hardware because that data has to go over the air from your phone app to the hardware and return, but what if you just want to look at video or photos on the cloud? I might not have understood that right but that is how I interpreted what they told me. I might edit this again after I try it next week - now the hardware gets a 4 and support a 5 out of 5. /Update 12-16-23 - I've had this for 4 months at our mountain property and it has been awesome. The solar panel is keeping this thing running beautifully and the images are awesome - deer and squirrels and watching snow storms from 1800 miles away. I should have got 2 and put them up. Great value. And did I say the support was awesome.

I purchased this cellular security camera to provide live coverage and recordings of the construction site where our new home is being built in the USA. While we had some problems with the motion detection initially, Kiki helped me sort it out and it now records the larger motions of people walking through the site and the construction equipment moving on site. The great surprise is that I can view live coverage from Sweden as long as I have an internet connection where I am staying! As this camera operates on cellular networks only and I have turned off all cellular data on my phone in Sweden, I was very surprised that I can access the feed through my phone when on the internet. Great product!

Only one camera is messed up not all three

I had an Arlo camera, which only works through Verizon. I paid a fortune for it to keep an eye on my elder horse after he had surgery. It was all that was available at the time (early 2020). Two cameras and 3 years later, my 2nd Arlo stopped working. So I began looking for something else. I couldn't believe how many 4G LTE cameras are available now. And many have their own service plans, so you don't need to go through a cell phone company. I bought two, this one for his stall and a more expensive one for his paddock. Even with both cameras, I paid less than I did for that one Arlo. Easy set up and the picture is incredible. And the service plan is less expensive than Verizon. I'll probably put mini SD cards in rather than pay for cloud service, even though it's super cheap. Right now I have a month of free trial cloud service.
I took this photo with the camera late at night with the infrared mode on. There's a light, which turns everything to color but I'm not using it with a horse at night. Daytime pictures are super crisp.
The photo is of my 30 year old grey overo Paint (Kobeejo) in his stall on a stormy night.
I highly recommend this camera. The only reason it got 4 stars rather than 5 is because the sound is terrible.
Clemente
Only could use it a couple days now it wants me to pay for a subscription and I have it linked to my Verizon account saying my 4g has ran out to subscribe to there subscription

I use the camera at my cabin with no wifi service only moble data. Camera and solar panel were easy to mount on
the pole. Small size makes it hard to detect it is there. Rotation is wonderful. Motion detection works fine.
Lala
I love this camera first I bought one for my front door and now 3 months later we have 4. They work awesome in rural areas we have them in our barn for our pregnant mares so we can see when they are about to give birth and go assist them. I have another one in the woods my husband is a hunter. No matter where we have the camera they work awesome never have I had a problem with the connection or battery and the monthly payment is very cheap. They are so easy to install it took me 2mnts!! Purchase the item I recommend!!
Customer
Wow I’m super happy with this purchase. We had someone break into our detached garage and steal tools so I got this to help us monitor our new build. This works without internet, without wires. It lights up at night when it detects motion. The alerts are spot on. I’m SO happy with my purchase.
Forgot to take the film off the camera so the picture will be even more clear when I do
Lisa
This camera has a great picture quality. It's easy to setup an operate. I forgot to sign up cellular service. I contacted customer service and Kiki my customer service person went through everything and I had the camera up and running with in 24 hours. Bought it for nosy neighbors. These two walked straight to my gate with a purpose. Still don't know what that purpose was. The camera is excellent if you don't have wifi or electricity. Self functional.
