The AOQEE C1 is a budget 2K indoor/outdoor camera available as a 2-pack for ~$27/unit. Features include 2K resolution, color night vision with white LED, local 24/7 microSD recording (no subscription required for storage), siren, and Alexa integration. Weather-resistant design suits both indoor and outdoor mounting. Setup is plug-in (wired, not battery). Night vision combines IR and white-light modes. Motion detection is basic (no advanced person/package AI). Local storage via microSD is the standout—full recording without cloud subscriptions. Trade-offs: limited smart detection, white-label brand with minimal track record, occasional Wi-Fi stability reports in user feedback. Best for budget-conscious users who prioritize local storage and don't need AI-powered alerts. Not for HomeKit users (Alexa-only).
