this is a beast!
We're on a farm outside Lichtenburg no Eskom, no WiFi, just a Telkom SIM and the sun. I didn't think a solar camera would actually keep up, but this thing hasn't missed a beat since we installed it in January. The battery holds through the night, the solar panel charges it during the day, and I get alerts on my phone the second something moves near the gate. My wife checks the feed from town on her phone. Three lenses, three views at the same time I can see the driveway, the kraal, and the side of the house without touching anything. We're ordering a second one for the back fence.

installed it in 40 minutes
I'm not a tech person at all. I was worried I'd need to call someone to set it up, but honestly it took me about 10 minutes. Screwed the bracket onto the wall, popped in my Vodacom SIM, downloaded the V380 app, and it connected straight away. Three camera views came up on my phone and I could already see my whole front yard. My daughter showed me how to set up the motion alerts and that was it. No cables, no drilling holes for wires, nothing. If I can do it at 62, anyone can. I'm not a tech person at all. I was worried I'd need to call someone to set it up, but...

it's a must have!
I'll be honest, I nearly didn't order. No shop, no address just a website. I've been burned before buying from online stores in SA. But I got a confirmation email straight away, tracking came through the next day, and when I had a question about the SIM setup, someone actually replied on WhatsApp within minutes. Not a bot a real person. The camera arrived well-packed, everything was in the box, and it works exactly like they said. Three lenses, solar powered, siren, motion alerts the lot. I've got 90 days to send it back if I change my mind. Haven't even thought about it. I'll be honest, I nearly didn't order. No shop, no address just a website. I've been burned before buying from...

Best ever!
The first night I had it up, I got an alert at about 2am. Opened the app and I could see a guy walking along my fence line clear as day, full colour, across two of the three lenses. The floodlight kicked in the second he moved into range and the siren went off. He turned around and ran. I've got the whole thing recorded. During the day the picture is sharp you can read a number plate from the driveway. At night with the lights on it's almost as clear. Even in full darkness the infrared picks up everything. For a solar camera with no wires, I genuinely didn't expect this The first night I had it up, I got an alert at about 2am. Opened the app and I could...

Customer service is the best!
I looked at a few cameras before this some cheaper ones around R1,500, and one from another SA brand for about R2,400. Single lens, basic app, no support when I emailed them with questions. Then I found Loovi. Three lenses, triple the coverage, solar powered, built-in siren, and an actual person replied to me on WhatsApp before I even bought it. The R2,999 felt like a lot at first, but when I realised I'd need two or three of those single-lens cameras to cover the same area, the maths made sense. One Loovi replaced what would've been three cameras and three SIM cards. It's not the cheapest but it's the smartest money I've spent on security.
