CONCLUSION

   HeimVision sells affordable security/surveillance cameras and systems and so with that in mind i don't and shouldn't really have very high expectations from their products. Take the HMD2 for example, it's a Full HD model which costs almost half (less than half in some cases) what many other companies are asking for their own similar models and even though yes some of them do outperform the HMD2 the extra cost is not easily justified. Overall, however the HMD2 does very well, image quality is good (for its price range) both during the day and at night, the battery can last for just over 3 days of almost continuous recording (with the solar panel i never had to recharge it - however sun is very strong in my parts so do keep that in mind) and in terms of durability i can't say anything bad since after 18 days outside the enclosure is still good as new. Signal strength however is really not that good so make sure that the camera is no more than 7-8 meters away from your modem/router (especially if there's a concrete wall in between). Speaker clarity could also be better (at times I couldn’t make out what I was saying) but again this is something I see a lot with compact cameras like the HMD2.

   So just how affordable is the HMD2 Battery Powered Security Camera by HeimVision? Well you can currently get one for just USD74.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 75Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) and as for the HMS1 solar panel well that retails for USD30.99/39Euros. Overall, I think that HeimVision has once again found the sweet spot between performance and price and even though there are certainly much better choices out there if you’re on a tight budget then I certainly recommend checking the HMD2 out.
