Baseus Security S1 Lite review: Solar powered, subscription-free
When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. This outdoor security camera offers 2K video, color night vision, and months of runtime at a budget friendly price. No advanced AI features (e.g., vehicle/pet/face recognition) If you want a straightforward, subscription-free solar cam for home monitoring, the Baseus S1 Lite nails the basics and battery life, but power users will want more. Baseus has been steadily pushing beyond its roots in phone chargers and accessories, and its latest move is to expand it's smart security lineup with two solar-powered outdoor cameras: the Baseus S1 Lite (reviewed here) and the Baseus S2 (which we'll cover at a later date). The company pitches the Basues S1 Lite as a budget-friendly option designed for people who want affordable security without being tied to monthly fees for cloud storage.
