SoloCam E30, Security Cameras Wireless Outdoor, Solar Camera Outdoor Wireless, 360° Pan, AI Tracking, 2K Clarity, No Monthly Fee

I recently bought this camera from Amazon and I’m really happy with it. The video quality is clear, both during the day and at night. The night mode offers two options: color or black-and-white, which is very useful depending on the situation. Installation was very easy, and the camera can charge using sunlight or even regular daylight, which is a big plus. Overall, it’s a great camera for the price, very convenient, and I definitely recommend it.

I saw this item go on-sale a few times, and this last time I couldn't pass it up. The packaging is nice and professional. The quality of the camera and solar panel felt good out of the box, it had some heft and felt like it was of good quality. It was very easy to setup. You're most likely going to need a drill if you are putting it anywhere outside, especially into a beam of wood or a facia board, etc. Picture quality is actually quite nice. I can see the license plates of cars pulling in, I have a wide enough view to see all my vehicles, plus the walk-up to my front door. The 360 degrees is nice, just realize its more like 350 degrees. It will go all the way to where you can basically see behind, but then you have to go around back the other way. Think of a pie / circle with a small slice taken out the back, thats where the camera can't rotate, but you can still see behind it fine. It doesn't tilt very far up but tilts down good. The default angle its facing at out the box is pretty much the highest UP it goes. KEEP THAT IN MIND! MOUNT IT HIGH AS YOU CAN! All the functions work just fine on the camera. The app is pretty good, isn't too difficult to navigate or set up. I do not have the homebase yet, but plan on getting that with more cameras. Using an SD card for storage, just get one they are cheap for the 128gb. The phone app does take up some battery while using it. In the background its a lot less. But keep that in mind if your phone battery isn't the best, or is old and doesn't have the capacity it used to. The actual battery inside the camera unit lasts all night, and it charges up quick with solar. Overall good camera for the price. I didn't want any subscriptions or anything and this was one of the best I could find in the price range I was looking at. The AI tracking had some kinks at first. You may have to mess with the sensitivity. Mine was recording flying insects at night a lot for no reason at first. After about the first week it seemed to stop. Either the bugs went away (doubt that) or the camera either learned through AI or had an update. It "bugged" me at first but it worked itself out after a few nights.

I've got all cameras installed. Compared to my Arlo, blink and ring cameras, this was a BREEZE to set up. Very simple wall mount, easy to put together but difficult for anyone to grab and remove. It connected to my wifi immediately. Instructions did not indicate to turn off your phone VPN during set up, so that's important. However, they are semi charged so it didn't take 5 hours to charge from zero charge. It took about an hour to fully charge the first thing I really appreciated is that the app tells you when the camera is charged so you can unplug it (during initial set up). This has a lot of features I didn't read about that are a helpful unexpected bonus, such as the ability to NOT have alerts for vehicles. The cameras have a calibration feature, so once you get it in the preferred location, you calibrate the camera to it's location. you don't need a subscription, but can get one for the cloud. You add a 128 mg memory card in each ptz camera, and any video or pictures are stored there. However, it includes a 1 tb tower that the cameras connect to, and I'm not sure how pictures are stored there. Your video and pictures on the memory card are auto encrypted, but to see the full pic/video... You have to wait about 15 seconds for it to decrypt. This prevents stealing the pictures or hacking your signal to get pictures. So it's important to set the alerts to send a snapshot for immediate viewing. It will also just send a text. Also, the memory overwrite itself when full, and offers the ability to download them, crop, share, etc Also, don't set up the features and camera names until the cameras are placed, or you may wind up doing it twice as I did. Another nice feature is the ability to set 4 standard views per camera, but you can also manually pan, tilt, zoom. You snooze the camera which was very effective while my handyman was running around outside. A very nice find is the kit includes the wall mounts, 10 ft type c cords, screws, etc. you don't need to buy anything to get them mounted. The cameras have 10 different chime options, which is nice to differentiate cameras. You can set them to monitor continuously, or only notify for humans, cars, other, or all. If you live on a busy street and don't want to see cars driving by, this is nice. You use OTHER to detect pets... Or wildlife. The ptz features work very well, and It seems to be learning. It has an AI feature that you can disable. I'm testing it out. You can also share your videos and pictures with the manufacturer to get points you can use for purchases. I'm not sure how many points it takes for that to be helpful. The cameras work with Google and Alexa. It was very easy to connect to this, but I googled the instructions. The batteries are built in, and I'm not sure if you ever replace them since you'd have to take it apart to do that, those batteries cost about $50. Once you plug the solar thing into the camera, the apps tells that it is charging and the source of power and the percentage of battery remaining. It records sound, and caught me talking to the handyman and it was easy to understand what was said. It idea a snooze feature as well to stop alerts, starting at 30 minutes with 4 other time settings. I haven't figured out how to talk to anyone thru the camera yet. There's even more settings, but that's all I can think of now. The most time consuming part was clocking around in the app to see all the features and what they do. One last thing, the app for the store to purchase is not the save app for the cameras. But both apps have the same name, just different colors. The picture in the day and night is crystal clear. It's 2k, but you can reduce it to 1080p or 720. Also it will auto downgrade and upgrade the recording speed based on your network. Because the pan is 360 degrees, and includes tilt and zoom .. you really can put it anywhere as long as the solar charger is within 10 feet of the camera. The 5 cameras replaced 10. I have a lot of angles, so this is a time saver. Also, since it is self charging, no need to climb ladders to change batteries every few months. I also got the smaller non ptz camera, and it works great too, just no pan or tilt. The zoom goes 8x I think and doesn't pixelate ... It remains clear. The cameras do need to be set up in the lower band of 2.4 ghz (is that right number), but once set up .. you can move your phone back to the higher GHz.. but the cameras can hook directly to wifi or to the included base.

I set it up right out of the box and it took me less than 10 minutes no tech headaches at all. The picture is super clear and I love being able to check in from anywhere on my phone. The solar panel is surprisingly efficient; I haven’t needed to mess around with charging it. The AI tracking is smart and doesn’t spam me with alerts for every little thing, just the important stuff. No monthly fees is a huge bonus. Super happy with this purchase—totally recommend if you want easy home security that just works!

compre esta camara junto con el homebase 3. fácil de instalar, realice 6 orificios ya que quería la camara y el panel solar separados. Se recomienda hacer una carga inicial de 8 horas por medio del USB. ventajas. no consumes electricidad en la casa, ya lleva instalada casi el mes y sigue funcionando con la energía solar. detección de humanos con IA, te olvidas de falsas alarmas. desventajas. un producto algo caro, no funciona muy bien con Alexa, pero yo creo que es problema tanto de Alexa como de la skill de Eufy, 50-50, ojala se solucione en un futuro. De momento veo notificaciones en el cel y eventos que se graban. Nota. Puedes tener un Live view pero no se recomienda mas de 5 min ya que puedes consumir la batería. Considerar un Extensor de Wifi, dependes mucho de la señal. Me gustaria crecer el sistema con esta marca pero tendré que pensar si seria otra Wifi o ver si tienen con cableado por el LiveView.

The cameras work well for 8 days then stopped working. home base states that it is busy ( doing what? its only job is to provide security footage and memory storage). The home base is advertised as having a 16GB expandable storage, yet no further information is provided on how to expand the storage. Eufy has failed to reply to my query on this ( I suspect that they will try to upsell me a paid subscription to a cloud server) I purchased this unit for $803.00 one week later it was advertised for $349.00 on the Eufy website. Eufy customer support is customer support only by name, its just two words that mean nothing, don't expect anything from Eufy in the way of customer support. I think that I need a full refund, what do you think?

I’ve been using the Eufy E30 solar camera for a couple of months now and I’m genuinely impressed. Setup was a breeze from mounting to pairing with the app, and solar panel alignment all took under 15 minutes. The 2K video quality is crisp, day and night, with smart AI alerts that accurately distinguish people and pets (no more frequent false alarms). The solar panel truly lives up to its promise: even with just a few hours of sunlight, the battery stays topped up! no wires or recharging required. I especially appreciate the local storage option to avoid no monthly fees and peace of mind with privacy. Build quality feels solid, weather holds up, and the app is easy to use. For a hassle‑free, reliable, and eco‑friendly security camera, this one’s a keeper. Highly recommend!

Simple to install and works well. Solar Charging works well and maintained a full charge for the last 6 months. Movement detection for people and vehicles is good and recordings are HD and clear. The only downside would be its operating temperature range. I may have to take it down when the very cold Alberta winter temperatures eventually arrive, and put it back up in spring.
