eufy Security 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, 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.

Great camera. This camera is amazing. The video quality is clear. It is easy to operate and perfect since you don’t have to pay a monthly membership. Great camera, great product and great value!!

No subscription? No hub necessary? I’m SOLD. Not to mention I easily installed it and synced it myself. I am super happy with the detection level, sleek design and solar powering. The app works pretty well, I think I move faster than it does sometimes but still 10/10 for my first (hopefully last) security camera!

Love the solar power and how easy the installation was. Video quality is good and seems to hold a lot of video clips. Motion detection could use a little work, it thinks shadows are people when set to human only. I love the privacy option to block out neighbors from recordings. I wish the app was a little more user friendly though. Trying to get to some features seems like it takes a lot of digging around to find each time, whereas other cameras I have are much more user friendly on the app side.

BLUF: Great picture and easy setupI purchased these cameras primarily for their integrated solar panels that keep me from having to scale my walls with any regularity. I also purchased them to replace some original EufyCams that are, apparently, incompatible with the Homebase3 (even though the Homebase3 lists them as compatible). These cameras have a great picture, seem to be efficient enough to average daily use with the small integrated solar panel.The great picture, the integrated panel, the easy pairing with a homebase3, and a great promo price make these an easy win.

I spent over $400 on what I thought was a full Eufy home security setup. I bought the HomeBase 2, the 5-piece sensor kit, smart lock, doorbell camera, outdoor camera, chime, and more. I expected to feel safe in my home. Instead, I got a system that can barely be heard and a support team that doesn’t even understand how their own products work.Only the HomeBase 2 makes a sound when the alarm is triggered. None of the sensors, cameras, or other components ring. Just one small box with a 100 dB siren sitting upstairs next to my router. I live in a two-story home. One day the alarm rang for hours and I didn’t even notice. Neither did my neighbors. What kind of security system is that?When I contacted customer service, I explained everything clearly. I gave them the facts, the issue, and the exact solution. Their replies were insulting. They asked me if I had tried turning up the volume. I had. They told me to try different alarm tones. I had. They told me to move the HomeBase, even though I clearly said it had to stay next to the router. Then they told me to use my doorbell camera as a siren, which is connected to a chime and would go off with every passerby. It’s not even linked to the HomeBase alarms. That suggestion made no sense at all.Then came the most ridiculous part. They actually asked me if my house had walls. Yes, my house has walls. That’s how houses work. If your product can’t be heard through a wall, it’s not fit to be called a security system.It got worse. They asked if my motion sensors and entry sensors made noise. These devices do not emit sound. They never have. It’s shocking that their own support team doesn’t even know how their products function. That’s basic information and they clearly didn’t have it.They also told me Eufy doesn’t make a separate siren. I had to send them a link to their own siren listed on Amazon before they even acknowledged it existed. I asked for two of them to be sent to me as a fair resolution. After dodging the request with emotional reassurances and irrelevant replies, they just stopped responding.To make things even more frustrating, one of the cameras I bought wasn’t compatible with the system. I only found this out through trial and error, because the product description doesn’t mention it. Nowhere does it say it won’t work. That’s on them.There’s no actual customer service number. You’re left emailing support reps who don’t read your messages, don’t know the products, and give you useless copy-paste responses while stalling you into silence.I handed them the solution. I explained the problem from day one. I did all the work for them. The moment I had an airtight case and knocked down every excuse they had, they disappeared.If you want a system that’s reliable, loud, and backed by people who care about your safety, this isn’t it. The design is flawed, the listings are misleading, and the customer service will waste your time until you give up. I regret buying this. You will too.Update: After weeks of trying to work with Eufy support, I was offered a refund that doesn’t even cover the cost of fixing the problem. I asked for two sirens so the system could function properly, or a refund to cover the actual price. They refused both and closed the case. Since I pointed out the siren was on Amazon, it was suddenly removed and now only shows up on their website. I gave them every chance to resolve this and they chose not to. Think twice before trusting this system to protect your home.
