INTRODUCTION

   Lately whenever i visit YouTube or TikTok i always happen to stumble across numerous clips taken by home security cameras in which you can clearly see people stealing packages from porches, trying to force their way into houses or businesses and of course people who have already broken into a house or a business. I clearly recall just 5 years ago saying that things would only get worse as time went by judging by everything that was going on at the time and even though i was obviously hoping that wouldn't be the case well, it is. Needless to say, i too am worried about my personal safety and that of those dear to me so I’m always open to testing anything that could help with that. The GO1 & SP1 Full HD 1080P Wireless Rechargeable Camera & Solar Panel set by Arenti is one such product and after a rather long testing period my review is finally here.

   Arenti Technology is a leading AIoT group focusing on bringing safer, easier, smarter home security products to global users. Born in the Netherlands, Arenti is founded by a group of experts from different fields including the world's biggest security company, the fortune global 500 companies, and the world’s leading smart home platform. Arenti core team has over 30 years of experience in AIoT, security & the smart home industry.

   The GO1 wire-free rechargeable camera sports an IP65 certified housing (essentially dust and water proof, -20/+50 degrees Celsius operating temperature range) inside which Arenti has placed a Full HD (1080p at 25fps - H264) 2 Megapixel 1/2.9" CMOS wide angle (145 degrees) camera (F1.2 with digital wide dynamic range and IR CUT Filter), IR night-vision LED (10 meter range), speaker and noise cancelling microphone (2-way audio), PIR motion sensor, 2.4G Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n), microSD card slot (128GB max capacity - records snapshots and clips of up to 30 seconds in duration) and an 6700mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack (provides power for up to 180 days). The SP1 solar panel also comes with the same IP65 certification and features an 5W power output which combined with its large panel surface should easily provide adequate power to the GO1 camera. Finally, as expected the GO1 is Alexa and Google Assistant compatible and all its features can be controlled by the Arenti Smartlife iOS/Android App.
