Thanks for the question! Connecting your security camera to your phone is a great idea so you can monitor your home wherever you are. A few options that would allow you to do this include the Andowl Q-HQ36 MINI WiFi camera you originally asked about, since it mentions WiFi connectivity in the name. It has a great price of R389 too. The TP-link Tapo C200 and Tapo TC70 cameras would also allow phone connectivity through their WiFi features and Pan & Tilt functionality. Both are around R619. Alternatively, if you need outdoor coverage the Andowl Q-S33 Solar camera sounds perfect as it gets power from the sun and has WiFi to sync with your phone. It's R2999. Let me know if you need any other details on these options to connect your new security camera to your phone!
Based on your question about connecting a mini camera, I would recommend the Orico MINI USB To Bluetooth 5.0 Adapter. It comes in black or white for around R110-R115 and will allow you to easily connect your mini camera to your phone via Bluetooth. Just plug the adapter into the camera's USB port and then pair it with your phone. This is a simple, affordable way to get your mini camera up and running without needing WiFi. Let me know if you have any other questions!
The Andowl Q-HQ36 MINI Wifi camera that you're looking at has a decent operating distance for a budget mini camera. It can connect to your phone or computer via wifi from around 10 meters away indoors. For longer distances between camera and phone, some of the Hikvision kits in the search results would be better as they allow for longer wireless ranges of up to 150 meters. The Hikvision 4CH Wireless 4MP Ip Kit for around R11,400 includes a 4-camera kit with a network video recorder, and claims a wireless transmission range of 150 meters between cameras and recorder. This would allow you to connect and view multiple cameras around your property from further away on your phone. Just keep in mind it's a more advanced/professional level system at a higher price point compared to the single mini camera. Let me know if you need any other info!
