YESYAMO C8T-N review

A pan-and-tilt battery camera supplied with a solar panel and a two-meter cable. YESYAMO states 2K capture, a five-times digital zoom, PIR detection with a triple alert, and an IP66 housing.

The conclusion A complete solar package for the money, held back to one Wi-Fi band. Mount the panel steeply and it looks after itself.

The interesting part of this camera is what is in the box: a solar panel and a two-meter cable, where others sell the panel separately.

The two-meter cable is the specification

It decides the installation. The panel has to see sun within two meters of wherever the camera goes, and on a shaded or north-facing wall that is frequently impossible. Work out where both objects will live before ordering, not after.

What the panel can and cannot do

Through spring and summer the panel should be enough to keep the battery charged. In December, at a northern latitude, output falls to a small fraction of the summer figure — and December is when the nights are long, the camera is triggered most, and the cell performs worst. Mounting the panel steeply, close to vertical and facing the winter sun, is worth more than any setting in the app.

The zoom, honestly

Five times, and digital. It enlarges what was already recorded. It is useful for examining a corner of a frame on a phone and useless for turning a distant figure into an identifiable one.

What the listing adds

YESYAMO states human-shape detection that turns on the lights, sounds the alarm and alerts your phone within a second, with a voice message to drive the intruder off. At night, four infrared LEDs detect the shape and the lights come on for a color image. Recording goes to a microSD card of up to 128 GB, encrypted per YESYAMO, with a seven-day free cloud trial.

Who it suits

A sunny wall, a post or a fence where mains power is not an option and climbing up to recharge is not either. Check the two meters first.

What reassures, and what does not

Strengths

  • Solar panel and a 2 m (7 ft) cable included rather than sold separately
  • 355° pan and 90° tilt from a battery camera
  • PIR sensor with a triple alert — light, siren and notification
  • IP66 housing stated by the manufacturer

Compromises

  • 2.4 GHz only, stated explicitly by the maker
  • Five-times zoom is digital, which enlarges pixels rather than adding detail
  • Solar output in a northern December is a fraction of the summer figure
  • No published runtime assumption

The questions we are asked

Will the solar panel keep it charged all year?

In summer, comfortably. In December at a northern latitude a panel produces a small fraction of its summer output, and that is exactly when the camera is triggered most and the battery performs worst. Mount the panel steeply — closer to vertical, facing the winter sun — rather than flat.

Is five-times zoom useful?

It is digital, so it enlarges the pixels already captured rather than gathering more. It helps you look at a corner of a scene on your phone; it does not turn a distant face into a recognisable one. Optical zoom, which moves glass, is a different thing and is not on this camera.

Does the panel need its own bracket?

It comes with a 2 m (7 ft) cable, which decides everything: the panel has to reach sun within two meters of the camera. On a north-facing wall that is often the constraint that makes the whole installation impossible, and it is worth checking before ordering.

Our score

7.8/ 10

A complete solar package for the money, held back to one Wi-Fi band. Mount the panel steeply and it looks after itself.
