SoloCam S220 3-Cam Pack,Solar Security Camera

I use Eufy cameras at my primary home and vacation house too. I love their cameras so much that I have bought additional ones to get even better coverage. As long as you install the cameras in a spot where they get enough sun the solar recharge works great. The app even tells you how much charging the sun did. I have one camera that only gets sun until noon. Even that one recharges enough through most of the year, except in the winter when I have to bring it in to plug in to recharge every once in awhile, which is usually only after a few cloudy days. You can adjust the motion sensor’s sensitivity which is a great feature. You can also chose to alert only when a human is seen and the camera does a good job at discerning that, although one time a raccoon was in the cameras view and when it stood up on its hind legs the camera alerted me to a human and admittedly it did look like a furry toddler :-) In human only alert mode the camera will not alert to a car until the person gets out. I wanted both so I used the sensing area adjustment in the app to only alert to motion and human right in front of my garage. This worked well, I don’t get false alarms from cars on the street and with the motion sensitivity turns down a bit I don’t get alerts about birds, squirrels, etc. The infrared works great, with the IR led lights illuminating a large area at night, just know that there is some visible red spectrum in those led lights so people will know the camera has spotted them at night. I wanted to try one as a critter cam and I experimented with covering the led lights with duct tape and it still worked, but at a very degraded level. If you were using it in a spot that had street or house lights it might be good enough to use it with the led lights covered to alert you. However, it is so good with them uncovered you will probably want to see all the detail in night time captures. The microphone on the camera works very well. It also has a speaker on the camera and the app allows me to talk to whoever the camera is seeing. I’ve used that a few times and the person heard me clearly. Eufy is now selling higher resolution cameras, but still sells these models. They are almost half the price of the newer Eufy models sold on Amazon. I find the 2k resolution is plenty for my needs. It is high enough that I can read the name on trucks. It is not quite high enough to read a license plate, but you can mostly make out the numbers. I haven’t tried one of the newer models so I can’t compare. I also love that I don’t need to have a subscription or go to the cloud to look at the videos. I did not get a HomeBase that is compatible with the the S220 so I use each camera as its own storage device and that has worked fine. If it records something I want to not have overwritten I just save it to my phone, like the time a delivery driver, not Amazon, threw a package on my front steps from about ten feet away! Even the camera that is over 150 feet from my WiFi switcher connects fine. Occasionally when I go back to events to watch a video again the app seems to have forgotten it, but refreshing typically fixes that. Overall I highly recommend Eufy cameras, I also use their doorbell cameras and love those too.

Fast delivery. Easy setup. Easy mounting. Good network connectivity. Good video. Good alerts. Good app, intuitive with nice features. Bye Ring, your update bricked my three doorbell cameras. Thanks for saving me $100 a year for a subscription I no longer need.

So happy with this camera. Gives very clear picture & sound on camera! Even at night. Very easy to install & set up on phone. Be sure to charge in sun & with usb cable before mounting. Gives you a message when completely charged. Like that there is no monthly charge nor have to connect to a home base. Works perfectly in stand alone mode. Considering buying another one for my backyard. This one I installed for garage and driveway since there have been many car thefts & breakins in my neighborhood. Highly recommend.

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.

These are pretty decent. I don’t have them set up somewhere where they receive sun for solar charging, but on the regular battery I’d say I have to charge them once every 10 days. It does recognize my dogs as “humans” which kills most of the battery. I’ve noticed when I get a notification and click it, it tells me it can’t load so I have to refresh and then it’s okay. It was easy to setup in the app and outside as well. The video quality is good and you can hear pretty well also.

I've tried several outdoor security cameras over the years, and this eufy SoloCam S220 has easily become my favorite. The biggest difference I noticed right away was the night video quality. Compared to the other brand I've been using, the picture is much sharper, brighter, and has significantly more detail. It's much easier to recognize people and see what's happening after dark. The daytime video is excellent as well. The 2K resolution produces a crisp, clear image, and the camera captures plenty of detail around my property. The wireless installation was simple, and I really like that the built-in solar panel helps keep the battery charged without having to constantly take the camera down for recharging. The app is easy to navigate, notifications come through quickly, and overall the camera has been very reliable. Everything just works the way I hoped it would. After seeing how much better this camera performs—especially at night—I've decided to start replacing my other brand's cameras with Eufy. The improvement in image quality alone makes the switch worthwhile. If you're looking for a dependable wireless security camera with outstanding day and night video quality, I highly recommend the Eufy SoloCam S220. It's been a great upgrade for my home security system.

I’m really impressed with these security cameras! The picture quality is excellent, the cameras are clear, and they work really well. They give me peace of mind knowing I can keep an eye on things when I’m not at home. They were a great purchase and I’m very happy with them. I would definitely recommend them!

The Eufy S220 is an amazing camera! I've had it for one week now and so far I'm satisfied with it! I already had the Eufy security App installed on my phone before receiving the camera as I've been using a Eufy Indoor camera already, so adding this camera to the App was a cinch! There were no glitches when connecting to my home Wi-fi and it only took about 5 minutes to mount it on the side of the roof. The mount only requires 2 screws and then attach to the mount. The video quality during the daytime is crystal clear and the night vision is impressive. Videos at night look as if it is dawn outside. When you put the motion settings to high, it will catch just about everything even at 20 feet. The camera doesn't seem to miss any motions! There is a motion setting that allows you to "catch all motions", but I would not recommend this as the camera will really catch all movements and even small insects thus setting off notifications constantly!...You can customize the motion settings by selecting specific areas to protect and you can also block out certain areas of the videos for your neighbors privacy...I only want to use the camera for video purposes and not so much the audio...Upon testing the audio, sounds captured by the camera itself and through my cellphone did sound a little muffled but you can still understand the words. And when I tested the audio spoken from the cellphone and through the camera's speaker, it did sound a little muffled but still understandable...However this is not a major issue for me as I only really needed this camera just for the video. The solar charging is great, and goes up to 100% during sunny days and at night the battery level has only dropped to 80%...I am using the camera in Las Vegas under 100 degrees F, so I'm impressed that it works flawlessly under the high temperature! When viewing the live feed on the app, it is pretty quick and snappy and viewing the all the events is a breeze! The alerts come in fast and notifies you with the text "Someone has been spotted" and you can choose customize notification sounds too...The UI on the app is awesome and user friendly...Saving recorded videos as well as snapshots to your phone can be done with just the touch of a button. You can turn the camera off and on with just one swipe and also if you need to restart the device...The camera has only disconnected and went offline a few times from the Wi-Fi connection, but it is a normal occurrence with any camera...But it does get back online very fast and seems the Wi-Fi connection is very solid and reliable...As far as the overall design of the camera, I think it's one of the best. To have the solar panel built right in make this camera look sleek and clean. This design makes those cameras that have a separate wired solar panel look out of date! I think the built in solar panel design should be the standard for all security camera companies to follow...Having this outdoor camera as well as an indoor camera makes me feel as if I have a high end security camera setup. And why spend more money if these cameras work just as well and perhaps better as the more expensive ones out there. I love the fact that I do not have to pay for any type of subscription to view my videos and I think it is great that Anker mentions this on their ad descriptions. The Anker company has to be one of the best security cameras out right now! I think I have found the security cameras that I will use for a lifetime and it is Eufy security cameras...And as always, Amazon delivered this quickly and well packaged. 5 stars upon 5 stars!!!

So far so good....I've been running the C210 non solar edition for a few years, so thought I'd add one of these to the collection. I don't run them continuously, but when they run, they run at the same time. Only been a few weeks, but the C210 is at 53% battery and the S220 is at 98%, so I'm impressed. Haven't had any issue with battery charge levels at all. Picture quality is as stated, and the mount it and forget it aspect of this camera is nice! Winter may tell a different story, but I still expect to have to charge it much less that the non-solar version.

Essa câmera oferece qualidade de som e imagem excelentes, com capacidade de autorecarga eficiente, bateria de longa duração e memória interna generosa. É um produto fácil de instalar e que você praticamente esquece depois. Tenho três dessas câmeras, que, junto com o Homebase3, formam um sistema impecável para residências.

Chat gpt recommended this camera for be based on what I was looking for and it did not disappoint. Very easy to set up and use. Picture and video quality is great. Battery life is very good too. I got these on a 50 percent off sale so that was amazing as well. Would buy again in an instant!

Estamos muy felices pues fue muy fácil instalarlas y el uso es muy fácil, las conecté al internet y las puedo ver cuando quiera, además te da opciones para sensibilidad por áreas. Es importante saber que son fijas y tienes movilidad limitada para sus instalación pero en general muy buena, la mejor cámara de seguridad que he comprado. Se carga solita con el sol.

No soy una experta en tecnología, pero buscaba una cámara que me diera tranquilidad sin complicarme la vida, y esta ha sido una excelente opción. ​Lo que más me ha gustado: ​Se ve todo clarísimo: No sé de resoluciones ni números técnicos, pero la imagen se ve muy nítida tanto de día como de noche. Puedo distinguir perfectamente las caras y lo que pasa afuera de mi casa sin batallar. ​La manejas desde el celular: La aplicación es muy amigable. Me gusta mucho que puedo acomodarla a mi gusto, por ejemplo, elegir cuántos segundos quiero que grabe cada video o ajustar qué tan sensible es para que no me esté mandando alertas a cada rato por cualquier cosa que se mueva. ​Sin pagos extra: Lo mejor es que guardas tus videos en la misma cámara. No hay que estar pagando una mensualidad eterna para ver tus grabaciones, lo cual se agradece muchísimo. ​Al principio me tomó un ratito picarle a la aplicación para dejar los avisos y los tiempos de grabación exactamente como yo quería, pero una vez que le entiendes, trabaja solita y de maravilla.
