'Fantastic' solar security camera 'doesn't need charging' beats Ring Doorbell price
Multiple regional outlets report the Septekon 2K Solar Security Camera is now £35.99 on Amazon, down from £49.98, featuring a wire-free, solar-powered design with colour night vision and a pan-tilt range of 345 degrees. The deal undercuts popular alternatives such as the Ring Battery Video Doorbell, priced at £44.99.
A wire-free security camera with a solar panel is being promoted as a budget-friendly alternative to well-known doorbell cameras, as several regional news sites highlight a current Amazon discount. The Septekon 2K Solar Security Camera is listed at £35.99, down from £49.98, in what the outlets describe as a Limited Prime deal.
The camera requires no wiring and is powered by a rechargeable battery supplemented by a solar panel, allowing it to continue operating as long as it receives sufficient sunlight. It records in 2K 3MP resolution and includes both infrared and white lights for colour night vision, though the spotlight must be manually activated for that mode.
According to the outlets, the camera can rotate 345 degrees horizontally and 90 degrees vertically, offering a wide viewing range. It carries an IP66 waterproof rating, meaning it is designed to withstand rain, snow, and hot weather. A PIR motion sensor detects movement and can send instant notifications when human activity is detected, and the device can record video and audio while activating a siren and spotlight to deter intruders.
The camera connects via 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, with no support for 5GHz, and offers two storage options for recorded events. It is available in black and white, with the white version priced at £37.99, down from £39.99.
The reports also mention alternative products on Amazon, including the Ring Battery Video Doorbell at £44.99, down from £79.99, which features 2K video with 6x zoom. Another option is the Tapo TD21 Smart Battery Video Doorbell + Chime, also priced at £44.99 (down from £79.99), which offers up to six months of battery life and a 160-degree ultra-wide view.
The articles note the Septekon camera carries a 4.3-out-of-5-star rating on Amazon and cite several customer reviews, with positive feedback on its performance and negative comments about Alexa compatibility, occasional app freezing, and small instructions. None of the quoted reviews are attributed by name in the provided text.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
