S220 SoloCam

Easy to set up, and mount. The picture wuality is pretty good, as is the night vision. Detects movement at a reasonable distance. Very satisfied. Have decided to purchase more in the same ecosystems. Battery was on course to last about a month in the Winter. Handy not having to wire in directly.

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!

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.

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 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

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

A good bit of kit easy to set up easy to use well worth the money

Second of these I have now. They are proving reliable (touch wood), good image quality and sufficient features. The integrated solar panel keeps the battery topped up with a few hours of direct bright light. Easy to install & pair with the Homebase & the Eufy App.

Enkel att installera och fungerar perfekt.

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.

Ik heb hem direct aan de voorgevel gehangen, en hij geeft prima beeld. Deze camera is ook goed aan te sluiten op de home base bij alle andere camera’s.
