I’m very happy with this security camera so far. The video quality is clear and sharp, and the 2K resolution makes it easy to see details during both day and night. The setup process was simple and only took a few minutes using the app. I also like that it uses solar power, so I don’t have to worry about charging the battery all the time. Once installed, it has been working reliably. Motion detection works well and sends notifications quickly when there is activity. It gives me extra peace of mind when I’m away from home. Overall, this is a great outdoor security camera with good features and no monthly fee, which makes it a very good value. Read more
The eufy SoloCam S220 delivers exceptional 2K clarity with reliable solar charging, ensuring true set-and-forget convenience. Installation is effortless—no wiring or hubs required, yet it still integrates perfectly with HomeBase 3. The solar panel keeps it running continuously, even in partial sunlight, making it ideal for low-maintenance outdoor monitoring. Motion detection is sharp and notifications are instant, offering solid peace of mind without subscription hassles. A perfect balance of smart design, great image quality, and zero monthly fees—definitely worth every penny Read more
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. Read more
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. Read more
The media could not be loaded. 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. Read more
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. Read more
I purchased one of these cameras in Jan 2025. I wanted it to be able to see my horses since there's a shed between them and the house windows. I charged it fully before putting it out, and it's worked all this time. Battery is still going good, I've never had to take it down to charge it, and the solar is doing it's job. If I go on vacation, I can see them with the app. I live in WI, and it gets cold in the winter, and sometimes we go a week without seeing the sun yet the solar panel still charges it completely.

This is a good camera. But the solar charging. Is like not a real thing. It’s in the sun. Have had since January. Have charged it manually three times. Everyday the little battery thing acts like it’s charging yet doesn’t actually charge anything. Bought the solar panel attachment. Just haven’t had time to install it yet. We’ll see if that fixes the issue. Have had the indoor cameras for years. Never an issue. But those are plugged in. Good quality and good notifications. I have mine only set to people. And it does. It’s detected like 5k things. But only notifies me when a person passes it Read more
