If you have a camera budget of R1,000, start by checking the power and internet connection at the place you want to monitor. A lower-priced WiFi camera may fit a home driveway, while a solar 4G camera may be more practical for a gate beyond your router's reach.
This guide compares four AUREY camera options that were in stock and priced below R1,000 when checked on 22 October 2026. Prices below are for the camera products as listed. Delivery, mobile data, optional storage and any extra installation materials need to be budgeted separately. Open the product page for the latest price and availability.
Four AUREY cameras below R1,000
| Camera | Camera price | Connection and power | Consider it for |
|---|---|---|---|
| AUREY B3W-1 | R650 | WiFi + power adapter | Home or shop with WiFi and a suitable power point |
| AUREY B12G | R800 | 4G + solar charging and battery | A gate or yard with mobile coverage and useful sunlight |
| AUREY B13G | R800 | 4G + solar charging and battery | An outdoor entrance where a mains cable is difficult |
| AUREY B14G | R850 | 4G + continuous power supply | A location with power and mobile coverage, beyond WiFi |
Have WiFi and power? Start with the B3W-1
The B3W-1 combines a 6MP triple-lens design with PTZ control, a listed 10X zoom function, night vision, motion alerts, a siren alarm and two-way audio. It is a useful starting point for comparing an entrance, driveway or shop-front camera where reliable WiFi reaches the mounting point.
Test the signal at that point before ordering. WiFi is the network connection; the camera also needs its power adapter. If you need remote access during a power cut, consider how both the camera and router would remain powered. For more detail, see our B3W-1 buying guide.
No WiFi or convenient mains cable? Compare B12G and B13G
The B12G and B13G use 4G connectivity with solar charging and rechargeable batteries. Both list triple-lens viewing, PTZ control, night vision, motion detection and two-way audio. They are options for gates, yards and farm entrances with suitable mobile coverage.
Check panel placement, mounting arrangements and your recording needs when choosing between them. Solar charging depends on sunlight and use; the camera still needs stored battery energy at night. Read our B12G and B13G guide for the pre-order checks.
Have power but no WiFi? Consider B14G
The B14G connects through a compatible 4G service and needs a suitable power supply. Its listed features include a 6MP triple-lens design, remote PTZ viewing, night vision, motion alerts and two-way audio. Consider it for an entrance, yard or storage area where WiFi is unavailable but power can be provided.
Our solar 4G vs plug-in 4G comparison explains how to choose between these power arrangements.
Budget for the complete setup
- Connectivity: 4G remote services require compatible mobile service and active data. Check the SIM arrangements with AUREY.
- Storage: confirm supported card capacity, whether a card is included and whether optional cloud storage has a fee.
- Installation: account for any extra brackets, cable protection or power work your property needs.
- Delivery: check the delivery charge at checkout before comparing your total with your budget.
Common questions
Which option should I choose for a gate?
If you have sunlight and compatible 4G coverage but no practical power cable, start by comparing B12G and B13G. With a suitable power point and 4G coverage, compare B14G. With stable WiFi and power, compare B3W-1.
Does a higher megapixel number mean it will identify people further away?
Image detail also depends on lens design, distance, lighting and mounting angle. Tell AUREY what you need to see and how far away it is. Ask for the per-lens specification if that matters to your comparison.
Will every camera record continuously?
Recording support varies by model. Confirm the exact recording mode, storage and power requirements before ordering if you need a complete timeline.
Choose the connection and power arrangement first, then compare the features that matter for your scene. You can also read our 4G vs WiFi guide or ask us to help narrow down the choices.
