So I’ve had this up exactly 3 months (31-10-24 to 31-01-25) throughout winter months so only around 8/9 hours daylight and even less sun.When I installed the camera it had 72% as I didn’t have the patience to let it fully charge first. 3 months later, it still has 31% left and this is with no power saving modes activated and fully optimised for surveillance.It was really easy to install and has a good picture quality and great sound quality. It can be taken down and charged by mains but I think as soon as longer sunnier days come the camera will soon top itself back up and charge a lot more than it has been. It’s definitely helped us feel more secure in our new house and just helps make sure we don’t miss anyone coming to the house etc.It can sometimes be delayed sending notifications and has in a few cases not picked up any movement at all. From tapping on a notification it generally loads up within 5-10 seconds but can be slower depending on internet connections.I do have this installed with the solar panel facing the sun (south) for best results.Overall I really like this camera and for a camera that is completely wireless and doesn’t need to be taken down for charging I think it performs really good and is excellent value for money.I’d like one for my rear garden however that doesn’t get sunlight and so I don’t think this camera would be suitable for that just for reference. Unless you didn’t mind taking it down and charging every few months.

Cracking value. One of the easiest cameras I've ever set up! the Wifi range is impressive. Online storage of videos, which is free. Great video and picture quality coupled with motion detection that doesn't give false notifications. I have it fitted at my back garden and it covers the space well, adding to my home security. Two screws to fit and i've had it few months now and haven't had to recharge it.

I have a few Ring cams set up around our house, but the annual service charge is £75 and I'm looking to cut costs back. So I got this Eufy S220 cam as a try out - at a discounted price of £59. It's the one with built in solar panel and as it's fitted to our south-facing wall I expect it'll not need a cable charger.Set up is simple - as others have stated. Download the Eufy Security app and follow instructions after connecting to 2.4ghz wifi on your router.The video image quality in daytime & nighttime s very good (better than Ring). It records for about 30 secs depending on motion trigger(s). As it's still early days, I haven't downloaded any videos as yet and not sure if still photos can be produced. But overall it's a good quality cam and, over time, I expect to get a few more to replace the Ring cams.

Excellent picture. Had it for a few months now, and it hasn't failed charging, even through the Winter sun. Connected to WiFi easy, through two walls, one of them being the outer wall to the garden. If you want them, it gives warnings of things moving in the area of view, settings can be altered. Pleased with it, as no wires, including power needed. I'm getting another.

Ordered as an add-on to our existing Eufy ecosystem (doorbell + Homebase). Works brilliantly covering our driveway, in conjunction with the doorbell. Charging is also great, even though it's not exactly south-facing - I cannot speak for the durability and battery longevity over winter though. All in all a good and cost-effective option.

Had this for 2wks now ,good points easy to set up and install ,battery life seems to be very good and picture is excellent.It is very good quality and seem very robust, but it misses more events than it gets.I have tried everything in the settings on the app every tips on the internet but it seems this is a common flaw , I’ve had it a different heights ,moved it to different positions,different angles, straight on , to the side ,tilted up tilted down but make no difference ie it can pick up a small sparrow flying past but not a car driving past , does not pick a person until halfway down my driveway regardless of how I set it up, I had a cheat tapo camera which picked up every event so I’m a wee bit disappointed,nevertheless it is a good camera and a deterrent and maybe a future update will fix the flaws so I’m keeping this camera

This is my third camera from Eufy. The first two were a different model, the first lasting 13 months and the second lasting weeks. This model is a different design, with all the connections underneath giving them some protection from the elements. I believe this is what has made the camera much more reliable.Fitting is easy (two screws for the wall bracket). Setup is straight forward, a lot of the configuration being sorted out by the camera app. You will need your wi-fi settings.In operation, the picture quality is excellent but, in order to preserve battery life, recordings are limited to 20 seconds. That can be adjusted, but you risk running the battery down quickly. Because the camera has a solar panel on top, I have not yet needed to recharge the camera. In the spring/summer it seems to stay topped up to around 96%. I suspect winter may see me recharging it.
