Purchased this camera for trial against 2 other similar cameras, out performed all others definitely will be purchasing more
Absolute dude with limited support the camera comes with no instructions and is not functional the way they advertise it. Apparently according to the “Tech” guy !!!!!!! They are waiting for more software changes to even get the device to meet what they already say it dose. Obviously a reason why they had to change the name from Emporium to now Keldco All positive review have to be fake as the thing wont work Show details
The set up process was really easy, and the picture quality is excellent, including at night. The solar panels keep the camera charged perfectly (so far, they have only been up for a few months) I am very disappointed with the delay in notification of activity to my phone, and especially unhappy with the lag time in recording. I expected the… Read more
recording to start as soon as activity is detected, but this doesn't happen. This means the cameras don't do what I purchased them for. I would not buy again, and would not recommend.
I purchased three 2.0 cameras. They are okay. However the detection devices let them down. I have tried adjusting them and it doesn't make to much difference. The detection device fails to even pick up vehicles and people. This really detracts from… Read more
the product. I based my purchase on what they claimed they would provide. Picture quality is good night and day. Detection device is poor. I am disappointed after spending the money.
Follow-up · Still not up to scratch they miss alot. The detection devices. I would try 3.0 but I would just order one to gauge how well the detection device works. Camera clarity is great just the detection device lets it down on the 2.0. My settings I have changed a number of times. I find moving it to the middle detection setting the best. Range issues are… Read more
Good camera's, I got 2 front and back. Thay work ok however for no reason whatsoever once a month maybe they reset themselves and go offline. After waiting a week to see if it comes back on I have to take it down and set it up again from the start. When I contact Keldco tell them what's happening and always blame the internet which is not the case… Read more
because my internet works great and my camera's when working show they have 90%+ internet service. They are ok but would compare to other security cameras even if it costs more in the end it will be worth it. Already had pot plants stolen from front of house when the camera decided to reset itself.
I am overly impressed with the quality of the cameras I bought 4 and the picture images are great and clear with total control from my phone I am more than satisfied in comparison to the Arlo cameras I had used this is a 100% upgrade and I will be ordering more this time to watch the sheep movements and the foxes.

The Keldco Solar Camera Pro 2.0 WiFi is made for outdoor use, but I’m using it indoors too by placing it near a window. The solar panel keeps it charged, no need to plug it in, super handy and works great! Show details
Tried ring prior to these guys and couldn't stomach having to pay onoging monthly fees to access footage. Best thing I ever did was get KeldCo. Delivery was within 3 days and huge shout out to Marven helping me out to get it setup. Highly recomened.. Even just purchased their new Door Bell camera, what a piece of kit! Show details
Unit seems pretty robust, accidentally dropped it and hasn’t missed a beat. Otherwise easy to install and setup. Very happy so far. Show details
Fantastic video quality at a really affordable price! Really clear and easy to use. Customer service was great too. Show details
Great cameras. Simple to install and use. Have had no issues at all. Works in all conditions. Solar panel keeps it charged up. The ability to flick the light on at night if something is detected with the infra red is great. Show details
Do NOT recommend Emporium Security / Keldco Support. They approved replacements for faulty cameras after a laborious process of numerous requests for different types of evidence, then backtracked and are now asking me to pay return/testing costs. This is a breach of Australian Consumer Law – faulty goods must be replaced or refunded at no cost to the customer. avoid this company. Show details
I’ve found the Emporium (now KeldCo) products to be reliable, cost effective and easy to install. After sales services has been high quality. (Thanks Marven.) I would recommend this company to others. Show details

Awesome easy to use and install cameras. Not one hole drilled to install. Show details
Good security camera – I'm very pleased with this product. Great value, quick delivery, easy to activate and unobtrusive . Fantastic for security when away from home.
Rubbish – Works great for the first few months had a replacement sent and same thing has happened not working so pretty useless. Company unable to replace again so obviously a faulty product. Save your money and time and do not buy Show details
Very good security camera. No drilling. Just change light bulb – I have had this security camera for a year. Its still working and relible. Many app options and connected to tuya. It acts as a security light too when motion is detected and recorded on your microsd. Show details
The best camera for renters! – It’s a great camera, very easy to set up and the app is easy to use, just a shame it’s not a skill for the Alexa show. Highly recommended! Show details
Don't bother - it is flaky – Took hours to get connected and the manual was rubbish and no help. Called the help line and got no answer (twice). The camera can not be added to the security area so you can arm/disarm and hence you need to turn motion detect on an off for each camera coming and going which is a major pain in the ****. The speaker only makes the siren sound -… Read more
it did not make any sound when using the phone microphone to try and talk to someone at the front door. The "follow" feature leaves camera anywhere it lost sight of object and does not return to the home position ie watching the actual entrance so that is useless and you leave it off. Overall after about six hours mucking around, updating firmware and trying every help function available with no joy I gave up. Have not bothered using night vision yet as I am returning it - if they ever supply details which are not on the web.... deliberately so I presume. Not recommended,
Warning do not buy – I was looking for a security camera and this ad popped up on Instagram. Going against my better judgement from previous experiences of social media advertised products, I bought it, mainly because according to the ad it was Australian made, however and unsurprising the box reads made in China, but happy to move on. I am technically a complete and… Read more
utter dunce, however, happy to report that following the instructions I was able to get the camera working. The image quality on my phone was impressive and I was inspired how easy it was to set up, but also concerned how easy it was to set up, nothing is that easy. Anyway, the first night went by and upon waking in the morning the app informed me that the camera was disconnected. I tried everything, nothing worked. So climbed up, took it off the wall fixture and went through the entire set-up process for a second time, and started working. It worked through the night, and upon waking in the morning was again informed it was disconnected.
I called a 1300 number and spoke with a young man in the Philippines who said to me remarkably “it shouldn't be doing that” and that he had no technical knowledge to help me. Sent an email, again informing me that “it shouldn’t be doing that” and offered a replacement.
I suspect that the morning disconnection is because the battery is depleted by morning. The battery power indicator is less than accurate which adds to the confusion. After a few days of full blast of daylight it appears that the battery makes it through the entire night without powering off. The instruction manual is unclear on this point, and the battery power indicator was accurate it was it would resolve a lot of confusion.
By way of update the replacement camera arrived in 2 days.
The replacement works but the original has died and does not work at all.
It appears that while these cameras are designed to work for a short period eventually they just stop connecting, which makes them useless. Don't waste your money.
