SoloCam S220, Solar Security Camera, Wireless Security Camera Outdoor, 2K Resolution, Continuous Power, No Monthly Fee, HomeBase 3 Compatible, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, for Outdoor Surveillance

Excellent security camera with a solar panel. Probably as good as BLINK CAMERA SYSTEM. Pros: No ladder for battery replacement, 2K video, Phone alerts, No subscription, Well made, Free video storage, Easy downloading, App. is easy to install and use. Easy set up and reasonable price. Cons: If you’re using multiple cameras, you need to purchase a Home Base to get the most features from the cameras. Update: 10-27-25, I purchased 4 cameras altogether and a home base station, since I liked the initial camera purchase. “WOW”, I made a good decision. Happy with alerts and quality of video and video downloads, with NO subscription costs. The app. is able to stitch video clips together like paid subscription services. I’m impressed with the app which works on IPhone and Android. Cons: When you purchase the Home Base…..Unfortunately, you have to buy an extended memory SSD card, to get all of the bells and whistles. This will cost you a bit more money. But it’s worth it because you can keep over a years plus videos without loosing them or being deleted. Overall: I’m happy with the purchase. In the long run…….I will save a lot of money regarding a subscription service, battery replacement and peace of mind.

I have 4 of these and they are wonderful. I love that I never have to replace or charge batteries. It records (6 to 12 seconds) and there's no membership fee like Ring for that feature. The recordings are clear and easy to see who or what is on your property. The range is excellent. The storage is great too. This product is well worth the money.

I love this camera. It was super easy to install. I cannot believe it's solar powered. If you buy a micro-SD card you don't need to get a subscription to record (which is basically underheard of these days, cue the ring products). I also think their app is better than ring. Very easy to navigate. We also bought a separate lock/camera for a different area of our house, it works seamlessly. We did have one minor issue with ours, I contacted customer service, and they immediately addressed my issue. I was absolutely blown away by the service. These are the only cameras and locks I will ever buy from here on out. 5 stars for the product. 5 stars for the app and not needing a subscription. 10 stars for the customer service.

I’m really happy with these so far. The setup was quick, the app walked me through everything, and the solar feature is honestly the best part I haven’t had to think about charging them at all. The video quality is clear during the day and still pretty good at night. The only small thing is that motion alerts can be a second or two slow sometimes, but not enough to bother me. For the price and the fact that there’s no monthly fees, these are definitely worth it.

Short form: Don't buy these; yes, they're cheap. But they're cheap for a reason! Update: After Eufy's latest update the camera show "online" but aren't recording and can't view live feeds. Plus there's no restart option in the software, so my only option will to be get out the ladder and do a full reset on them. Cheap construction, worse software. Update (again): Even with a custom power profile with recordings set to 60 seconds and ‘end clip early if no motion is detected.’ These cameras still recorded just 17 seconds of a car leaving my driveway. Between the nighttime ghosting and the awful motion detection, these might be the most useless ‘security’ cameras ever. Update: The ghosting in the night recordings is out of control. Half the time it looks like translucent blobs drifting across the screen. And that’s assuming it even detects the movement in the first place. At this point it would honestly work better if the unit, or at least the home base if it’s connected to one, compared differences between video frames instead of relying on its weak and inconsistent motion sensor. Updated: These things couldn’t get any worse. Even when connected to a HomeBase S380, you still can’t separate detection and recording from notifications. I mean, yes I want it to record every bit of movement. But I don’t need it to notify me every single time. Eufy products are such a letdown in the end. Updated: Unless you’re fine with your camera(s) going offline and missing important events, you’ve got three options. First, buy another brand that actually does what it claims. Second, get an external solar panel (a few bucks) that isn’t made by Eufy. I’m using a 6W third-party one that charges even on cloudy days **unlike** the built-in panel, which claims it’s charging while still losing 10% a day. Third, set the camera to its lowest quality and shortest recording time, point the built-in solar panel straight at the sun, and pray it only records one event a day. Orginal: Poor "solar" panel, worse detection range. The solar panels are pointes at the sun, with zero instructions, and over 9 hrs of sun light. It's still not enough to charge the cameras up, even after 3 days. Which means, they'll be dead after the first snow fall and a paperweight for the rest of the winder. I got the detection set all the way up to seven and it still can't even see a quarter the way down the driveway. We checked and rechecked the angles, tried to measure out the distance and we're getting nowhere near even 20 ft. These cameras are extraordinarily slow to access, and even slower to be able to recall older events. Well the camera does have an okay lens on it with a wide view. That view is useless if it can't actually record anything do you do such poor detection ranges. You literally need to put this camera directly on top of something and have it pointed at it within 10 ft for to do anything reliably. And the whole motion test option inside the app is pointless. Because emotion test you can get almost 50 ft away and did a report motion by changing the LED. But even after that doesn't detect anything. Then there's the whole fact that UV products are actually cloud dependent. They may store all your data locally but they require the app on the phone and authentication by Eufy servers in order to login. Which means if you ever has a problem with the app or their servers your cameras are absolutely useless for viewing video on. And while they have a web portal that you can use it's a web portal that's on their services that link back to your house. Which still requires the internet and their service to be up to make use of your equipment. This is the worst version of cloud dependency possible all of the data is right there at your fingertips but you can do nothing with it if something along the internet is having a problem.

Good view, user friendly, sound quality is good, motion detection on point. Purchase Dec 2024 its now Dec 27, 2025. My device seem to refuse to charge and I live in a tropical country. Never remove since I installed it so I guess the battery life goes to 1 year. Before this, the camera worked perfectly, day or night. Very good storage too

The video is sharp and the low light performance is impressive. It connects live quickly. The siren is one of the better ones I've heard. The image remains sharp when zooming in. The solar charging has been flawless. I like the time stamp embedded on the video but I would rather it be at the bottom. If any numbers are against a light background such as sky it's hard to read. I have two grips though: First I don't like the delay in putting the notifications into the onboard memory making the notification unavailable at times. Second I wish vehicle notifications didn't require the base station. That limits where I can use them. I still gave the SoloCam S220 5 stars because of the amazing video clarity and quick live streaming.

There are a lot of things I like about these cameras. Mine have been easy to set up and connect to the app. I have not had issues with connectivity and the battery life has been fine. Video quality has been very good. My main issue is with longevity. Where I have them placed they seem to last about two years and then they start crapping out. If they lasted a little longer I would rate them higher. I might still buy the same, but this is one case where I will probably opt for the add-on product insurance because I am very confident I will use it.
