DB1 Wireless Doorbell Camera + CG2K Solar Powered Camera Dzees Camera Bundle

After a full month of use, I'm very impressed with this camera and the app that goes with it. Dzees is a brand related to Zumimall, and I already own 3 outdoor cameras from Zumimall. The quality and price were outstanding so I thought I would try this new model. Out of the box, I could tell this has a quality build by appearance and weight. I made an unboxing video, but you can only upload 1 video per review and I thought the notification / app launch video provided more value. To summarize what I omitted, you get everything you need to charge and install the camera. No surprises.

Installation was simple and provides plenty of versatility, see the photo of how I have mine positioned. The picture quality is very good, though mine is poised to capture events at 15+ ft.

My favorite and least favorite thing here is the app. The Dzees app has more advanced functionality than the CloudEdge app that I use for my other wireless WiFi cameras. Both are easy to use, but the Dzees app allows you to set up Activity Zones, on par with other high-end motion cameras. This flexibility is great because at first, the camera kept thinking that my neighbor's mailbox was a person, so I was getting a lot of alerts :D I simply set up the Activity Zone around the mailbox and it's been smooth sailing. The app loads very quickly and the time from event, to notification, to viewing the event is about 10sec which is really pretty awesome. I attached a video of how quickly the event video loads once you tap the notification and my phone is 5 years old. This is the type of thing that user's care about, so I'm glad Dzees/Zumimall made this snappy.

The only drawback is also the app. And this only applies if you've bought multiple cameras from Zumimall, like me. This is a separate app and it would be fantastic to have all my cameras from the same company in the same app. There is even an additional Zumimall app, making there 3 total app for outdoor cameras from the same company. All of them are really solid though, with intuitive UIs and great features.

To utilize the AI Analysis available and the Activity Zones in the app you need a subscription. This also allows you to get longer cloud storage and it will identify people, vehicles and pets, which is pretty cool. I don't recall the price, but it was a few dollars / month and they have different tiers available.

The battery lasted about a month on the initial charge, though I expect it to last twice as a long in the future given my current battery levels. I think this is related to all of the 'mailbox alerts' I was getting before fine-tuning my setup.
