Fuel thefts prompt Uniden to discount 4G security camera by $100

Prompted by the rise of fuel thefts throughout Australia, Uniden has discounted its cellular Solo X2K 4G Plus security camera by $100 to help keep an eye on things.

Now $199 via Uniden’s website (down from $299), the 2K-resolution camera supports Nano SIM cards with 4G connectivity, meaning it can provide a live feed and upload footage to the cloud in areas that Wi-Fi doesn’t reach.

Petrol pressure has driven Uniden’s sale, with the brand citing recent reports that fuel theft has risen by as much as 30 per cent since the war in the Middle East began. Previous research has also shown a strong correlation between increasing fuel prices and increases in fuel station fraud. There have also been reports of trailers loaded with petrol being stolen from private properties.

With petrol prices set to remain high for the foreseeable future, Uniden hopes its camera can help add a layer of security while pressure from the fuel crisis continues. The Solo X2K 4G Plus is billed as a camera suited to outdoor use, featuring an IP65 weatherproof rating, a 60-day battery, and 300-degree pan functionality.

Like Uniden’s other cameras, the Solo X2K 4G Plus comes with seven days of free rolling cloud storage. Many other smart home security brands charge extra for cloud storage, but Uniden bucks the trend, providing the storage “for the lifetime” of its products. A 32GB MicroSD card is also included for internal storage.

This camera also uses the brand’s ‘Thermo Sense’ technology, which detects heat and movement to improve the accuracy of alerts and motion tracking.

For larger properties with limited Wi-Fi access that might need a hand while things are tough, this camera might be worth a look.
