Our current lineup includes 2 cameras (with 4G/Wi-Fi options), 1 base station (kit system), 1 PTZ camera, 1 bullet camera, and two PoE NVR recorders: RV Twinview Wireless (AOV solar dual-lens bullet-dome camera): dual lens (wide-angle + close-up), dual solar panels, 5x optical zoom + 10x digital zoom, two-way audio, AOV, full-color night vision, IP65 weatherproof, 4G/Wi-Fi dual-mode, ideal for yards, entryways, driveways and other home and small-venue settings; RV Ranger PRO Wireless (AOV solar camouflage camera with optical zoom): dual 5MP lenses (4K-grade image quality), 20x optical zoom + 16x digital zoom (36x hybrid zoom total), dual solar panels, two-way audio, AOV, IP66 weatherproof, white-light illumination for wake-up recording (IR illumination in AOV snapshot mode), human tracking, ideal for large-area sites such as farms, ranches, construction sites and warehouses; RV Oracle Ultra PTZ (5MP human-tracking PTZ camera): a P2P device supporting five smart event detections — area intrusion, line crossing (A-to-B direction), loitering (10–3600s), personnel absence (1–3 people on duty), and illegal parking with polygon region drawing, 360° pan-tilt, two-way audio, -20°C to 50°C operating temperature, AI human tracking + HD video, and 30 m full-color night vision, ideal for locations that require wide-area patrol monitoring; RV Oracle Ultra Bullet (8MP 4K smart camera): a P2P device supporting five smart event detections — area intrusion, line crossing (A-to-B direction), loitering (10–3600s), personnel absence (1–3 people on duty), and illegal parking with polygon region drawing, 4K ultra HD, AI human/vehicle recognition, multi-alarm linkage with red-blue flashing light and siren deterrence, and two-way audio, ideal for users who demand high image quality and intelligent analytics, and can be integrated with an NVR; RV FourSight 4G NVR: the cameras work together with the RV FourSight 4G NVR hub; the cameras are IP66 weatherproof, with a 15W solar panel + 20000mAh device battery. The camera unit itself: 3W solar panel + 7800mAh battery (18650 cells), 20–30 m PIR detection, one card supports multiple devices, 200–300 m open-field transmission range between camera and hub, and full-color night vision, ideal for building a multi-camera centralized management system; RV FourSight 4G NVR: comes standard with 4 wireless cameras, expandable up to 16 channels, with centralized storage management, ideal for whole-property security solutions across multiple locations; RV Vault NVR-04 / RV Vault NVR-08 (4-channel / 8-channel 4K PoE NVR): 200 m long-distance transmission, one-to-many broadcast, synchronized multi-channel playback, single-cable PoE power + data, multi-camera split-screen live view, and large-capacity local hard drive storage, ideal for fixed sites where cabling is available.

The key difference is power requirements. Solar models (RV Twinview Wireless / RV Ranger PRO Wireless / RV FourSight 4G NVR): no wiring or outlet needed, powered by solar + built-in battery, offering the greatest installation flexibility and ideal for outdoor locations without power; they pair with AOV low-power mode for 24/7 coverage; Plug-in models (RV Oracle Ultra PTZ DC12V / RV Oracle Ultra Bullet DC12V or PoE / RV Vault NVR + PoE cameras): these support both Wi-Fi and 4G and can be used standalone without a recorder, but require power wiring; with continuous power they support 24-hour full-frame-rate continuous recording and always-on pan-tilt, with more complete image quality and features. Recommendation: for remote areas without power, choose solar 4G models; if you have power and prioritize image quality and continuous recording, choose plug-in models or the RV Vault NVR solution.

Yes. Several of our products support 4G cellular connectivity: the RV Twinview Wireless, RV Ranger PRO Wireless, RV Oracle Ultra PTZ and RV FourSight 4G NVR all accept a Nano SIM card for remote viewing over 4G, so Wi-Fi is not required at all (the RV Oracle Ultra Bullet is a PoE/DC12V plug-in camera and does not support a 4G SIM). As long as your installation site has compatible 4G coverage, it will work — this is the primary use case for 4G solar cameras.

Yes. The cameras are all designed to outdoor weatherproof standards (IP65/IP66), so indoor use is no problem at all. Note: solar models cannot charge indoors, so you will need to periodically take them down and charge them with a charger (for example, the RV Twinview Wireless supports 5V/2A charging), or install them near a window with sunlight. In low-light indoor locations, solar models need to be connected to power.

RV Twinview Wireless / RV Ranger PRO Wireless: UboxPro app, supporting Android and iOS; RV FourSight 4G NVR: Essecloud app (supports quick QR-code device pairing and checking device battery level); RV Oracle Ultra PTZ and RV Oracle Ultra Bullet: LinkEasy mobile app (also supports the IMS lite desktop client and NVR integration).

Yes. You can bind multiple devices under one account and switch between them in the device list on the app’s home screen.

Yes. You can share devices with other users in the app’s device management; the people you share with simply log in to their own accounts to view live video and playback.

The app supports multiple languages; you can choose the language that suits your region.

The RV Ranger PRO Wireless, RV Twinview Wireless and RV FourSight 4G NVR mainly include: the main unit, solar panel(s), mounting bracket, screw kit, user manual, SIM card and Type-C cable, etc. Other non-4G products do not come with a SIM card, and the RV Oracle Ultra PTZ and RV Oracle Ultra Bullet do not include a solar panel.

All cameras support night vision, with per-model capabilities as follows: RV Twinview Wireless: IR HD night vision up to about 20 m, white-light full-color night vision up to about 10 m; RV Ranger PRO Wireless: 6 high-power IR LEDs + white-light LEDs, supporting both super night vision (white light) and B&W night vision (IR) modes, with a rated night vision range of 100 m (subject to real-world conditions); RV FourSight 4G NVR companion cameras: support both super night vision (white light) and B&W night vision (IR) modes, with a 200–300 m open-field transmission range between camera and hub and a rated night vision range of 150 m (subject to real-world conditions); RV Oracle Ultra PTZ: 15 dual-light LED boards, night vision up to about 30 m; RV Oracle Ultra Bullet: IR / warm-light / dual-light modes, 0–100 adjustable illumination brightness, 30 m night vision, and Smart IR to prevent nighttime IR overexposure.
