CAMSTRO Camera Kit: Two Solar Panels and a Surprisingly Small Hub

The CAMSTRO kit has two cameras and two solar panels, but the part that surprised me was the hub. From the product pictures I expected something much larger. Once it was on the table, it was a small box with the connections and storage controls in one place.

Keeping the hub separate from the cameras

The idea I discuss in the video is storing footage at the base station instead of relying only on a card inside each camera. I go over the advertised internal storage and expansion options, but this session is the unboxing. I do not fill the storage, test loop recording or verify what survives if a camera is damaged.

That distinction matters because the separate hub is one of the main reasons I wanted to look at this system. Seeing the hardware is the first step; testing its recording behavior comes afterward.

The mounts get a hands-on demonstration

I open the camera's covered controls and charging connection, then fit a camera into its wall-mount bracket. It slides into place and can be removed again. The solar-panel supports use adjustable joints, so I can change the angle before tightening them.

The package also has long panel cables, mounting guides, charging cables and the hub's power supply. I look over the hub's Ethernet connection, sync control and storage ports while unpacking it.

What is still an outdoor question

CAMSTRO sent this kit over. I am interested in trying it as an upgrade from my older cameras, particularly because of the solar panels and the claimed 4K recording.

This video does not show installed footage, a night-vision comparison, recognition accuracy or a weather test. It also does not prove that the panels keep the cameras running indefinitely. For now, it shows how the pieces fit together and why I want to try that smaller-than-expected hub.
