eufy Security S220 SoloCam Solar Security Camera Outdoor Wireless, Continuous Power, 2K Resolution Home Security Camera, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, No Monthly Fee, HomeBase 3 Compatible (2-pack)

Since I left the review below Eufy have reached out to help solve my problems with this camera , I have been so impressed with the time and care Eufy have spent on resolving my problems that I have now added to this review.Thanks to the help from Eufy my camera is now working as it should the quality of this camera was never in doubt the fix is is about the positioning,the height ,the angle ,the settings and trial and error, I really enjoyed getting this right , so I would recommend this camera and Eufy as a company I was surprised that they had read my review and acted on 5 stars all round.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

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.*UPDATE* Had this camera up for 472 days now and it’s still working as good as the day I got it, seen high temps, very low temps, drenched by weeks of rain, covered in snow and still had no issues. Not once! I’ve never had to take it down to charge it, it gets fairly low by the time winter is over but soon charges back up with a bit of sun! I’m very very impressed by this camera! Excellent purchase. (I added an updated screenshot too) Camera is currently on 37% mid Feb, and I think was last on 100% in October

Excellent camera quality, easy to set up and install, charge within 5 hours which is great. The downside is the solar during winter time does not really charge it up so deduction in battery life for me is roughly 15% a day and maybe a 2% at best solar charge. Mines been up for 3 weeks and its ready to be taken down for its 3rd charge. So have them accessible with a ladder to take them down. My area is high traffic so my battery will deplete more than areas that may be quiet. They look great and it gives me a peace of mind after a friends van was stollen from outside my house. My internet provider is Plusnet and no issues with connecting.

This 2-pack of eufy SoloCam S220 cameras has been a really solid upgrade for home security. Setup was surprisingly straightforward once mounted, they connected quickly to WiFi and were up and running in the app without much hassle.The 2K video quality is clear and detailed, both during the day and at night, and it’s easy to see faces and movement. The motion detection is smart enough to filter out most irrelevant activity, and notifications come through promptly when something actually matters.One of the biggest advantages is the solar charging system. As long as the cameras get a bit of sunlight each day, they stay charged without needing constant battery removal or manual recharging. That alone makes them very low maintenance compared to other systems.I also really like that there’s no subscription required, which makes long-term use more cost-effective. Footage storage and core features are included without extra monthly fees.The build quality feels weather-resistant and sturdy, and they’ve handled rain and cold without any issues so far.Overall, this is a reliable, well-designed wireless security setup that’s easy to live with and does exactly what it promises. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a simple, subscription-free home security solution.

Theses cameras are great and well worth the money. Easy to set up, no wires and work perfect if in direct sunlight for a few hours a day. If not you can buy a separate solar panel ( although will need a Eufy one for it to work properly). The free App is also impressive, easy to use with many features.

I recently purchased the eufy Security SoloCam S220 Solar Security Camera, and it’s a fantastic bit of kit—especially for a wireless, solar-powered setup.The installation is incredibly easy. It’s completely wire-free, so you can mount it pretty much anywhere, and it connects quickly to Wi-Fi with no hassle. The app is very simple to use as well, making setup and day-to-day use straightforward.The solar panel is one of the best features. With just a few hours of sunlight a day, it keeps the camera charged, so you don’t have to worry about taking it down to recharge. This makes it ideal for long-term use without maintenance.The video quality is excellent too, with clear 2K resolution and solid night vision, so you can see everything clearly day and night. The motion detection works well, sending alerts when someone is detected, which adds peace of mind.Another big plus is that there are no monthly fees. Everything is stored locally, which is a huge advantage compared to other brands that charge subscriptions.Overall, this is a great product—easy to use, reliable, and very convenient thanks to the solar charging. It’s perfect if you want a simple, no-fuss security camera that just works. I would definitely recommend it.

So easy to set up and use. The picture quality is amazing. Great value for the money.

We bought this along with the doorbell, hub and and internal camera.They are amazing, the camera detects movement and identifies whether that's caused by an animal, human or vehicle.The facial recognition is brilliant, accurately identifying who's there.It's mounted in a corner of our garden that doesn't get much sun, so will need to be removed for charging. But that's really easy to do. Perhaps too easy, as the camera could be stolen.Eufy offer a number of options for storage of footage:- Store on camera alone, so if the camera is taken the footage is lost. Though it can be downloaded remotely to a mobile device.- Store footage on the Hub which has the additional benefit of tracking movement across cameras. This gives some additional security in that footage is backed up away from the camera. It also delivers the AI for facial recognition and geofencing (more on that later).- Using a susbcription to upload to Eufy cloud.As far as I can tell, there are weak points in all of these approaches. For cloud attached devices, cutting the phone line going into the house would disable the camera. Whereas, the Eufy hub will still maintain footage. But the Eufy hub could be stolen. You pays your money and takes your choice. We chose the Hub as there's no monthly subscription.The Geofencing option automatically switches modes when you leave home with your phone. It can be configured so that multiple phones need to leave the zone in order to switch between "home" and "away" modes.In summary:The picture quality is great.They were really easy to install.The motion detection and AI is spooky, particularly for a cheap home camera.Really easy to setup on our devices.We'd moved to a new house, in a safe area, but had no alarm fitted. The EUFY setup gave us great peace of mind whilst away on holiday for a couple of weeks.Great product!

Enkel att installera och fungerar perfekt.

Says i need to upgrade device firmware to use the deviceNot compatible with Homebase 2

it’s really efficient

Widok z kamery w bardzo dobrej jakości. Aplikacja nie zacina się, ładowanie działa bardzo dobrze. Sprawowanie dziecinnie proste

Great addition to ourdoor security. Motion detection is good, slow to load video after notification some times but this may be due to distance from WiFi. Solar charging is great, have it installed over a month and battery hasn't gone below 95%. Easy install and set up.
