The Baseus S1 Lite is a new security camera designed especially for outdoor use. Equipped with a built-in battery and solar panel, it can operate without requiring a wired power connection.
The Baseus S1 Lite is a newly launched smart security camera, available on Amazon for $80. Baseus is currently offering a 10% discount on the entire order when you purchase two eligible items from the brand. Although the product is being sold through Baseus' official store, shipping is handled by Amazon. The S1 Lite is designed for quick and easy installation, which could prove especially handy for an outdoor setting. It is equipped with a solar panel and a 5,200 mAh battery, allowing it to operate an entire day with just 2.25 hours of sunlight. This means strategically placing the device in a sunlit location could render manual charging unnecessary.
Moreover, the S1 Lite supports both local storage on a microSD card (up to 512 GB) and data transfer over Wi-Fi, eliminating the need for a wired connection. It captures footage at 2K resolution with a 135° field of view and records at 15 fps. Whilst the frame rate may not provide the smoothest visuals, it isn't necessarily a drawback for a security camera as it helps conserve storage space. A 100-lumen spotlight and IR LEDs enable the device to capture videos in either color or black and white. Additional features include AI motion detection, customisable monitoring zones, and two-way audio for direct communication with anyone in view of the camera.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in environmental engineering, I moved from Singapore to
Cologne in 2014 and began pursuing a career as a freelance translator. Much of my translation work
focuses on science, engineering and technology. My fascination with computers and mobile
electronics began when I was young. And I have fond memories reading countless tech and gaming
magazines. Working with Notebookcheck gives me the opportunity to incorporate my personal
interests into my professional work.
