Video quality?
Depends on the camera, The first ones I got as part of a package were good during the day, but not at night. The cameras I have been upgrading to are good both day and night. My last one was a 4k camera and it is fantastic. I expect the dual lense one is even better. I put the 4k near my front door,
I have 7 cameras now plus the cameras on my Tesla,

Why not just do hardwire or POE.
Which is why I'm sure the OP is asking about "battery powered" security cameras.

Do you have to use the solar panels? The area I am putting them is not exposed to the sun. Do you have to pay for a service to view the pics or video taken?
It is a usbc port, so I assume you can charge them.
You don’t have to pay for the video, buy and install micro sd card. You can access the videos through the free app.

Look at TAPO. Uses your wifi network, no monitoring service required. Phone app is good and they can be charged with solar panel sold separately. You can set up alarms to your cell phone.

I have Eufy cameras on both my house and my 85 year old mother’s house and they are working well, so far.
I have 4K solar cameras with infra red so if you get an hour or so of sunlight on them per day, there is never any battery changing.
They feed via Wi-Fi to local storage, so there is no monthly charge unless you want to back up to the cloud or something like that.
If you settle on Eufy, don’t pay full price….they go,on sele every couple of weeks at deep discounts.

You do have to pay a monthly subscription fee to be able to save videos and such.
You can buy the Sync Module 2 or the Sync Module XR that accept USB drives/SD cards, then set it to store clips locally in the app instead of on the cloud you subscribe to.
The reason most don't know this, I guess, is because most every bundle comes with a different sync module with out a local storage option then they don't really spell out that if you upgrade and buy one of the aforementioned modules separately, you could avoid the subscription.
I have the Sync Module 2 with a 256GB flash drive in it. Never paid for the subscription and it works just fine.
