eufy Security S230 SoloCam (SoloCam S40) Solar Security Camera Outdoor Wireless, Battery Camera, Integrated Solar Panel, Spotlight Camera, 2K Resolution, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, No Monthly Fee

Who knew that the key to unbeatable home security was simply harnessing the power of the sun? Enter the Eufy Security S230 SoloCam, not just a guardian of the garden, but a green warrior armed with its very own solar panel cape. This isn’t a security camera; it’s a solar-powered sentinel that’s as eco-friendly as it is vigilant. Right out of the box, the S230 had me wondering if I’d need to call in a team of engineers for installation. But fear not, dear reader, for I was pleasantly surprised. Setting it up was easier than deciding what to watch on Netflix. Before I knew it, my new sun-powered sidekick was mounted and ready, no power cords or battery swaps required. The clarity of the footage is like watching a nature documentary shot in my own backyard. The HD video is so sharp, I half expect David Attenborough to start narrating the nightly antics of the local wildlife. And when the sun goes down? The night vision kicks in, turning my garden into a stage for the midnight escapades of foxes and hedgehogs. But the real game-changer is the built-in solar panel. It’s like having a mini sun god perched outside, eternally devoted to keeping my camera charged and ready for action. The S230 sips sunlight by day and stands guard by night, all while sparing me the hassle of battery anxiety. It’s not just smart; it’s sustainably smart. The two-way audio feature has turned me into the Dr. Doolittle of the neighborhood, conversing with birds by day and deterring would-be intruders by the sheer power of passive-aggressive politeness. “Excuse me, could you not?” has never sounded so authoritative. In an age where charging cables clutter our lives, the Eufy S230 SoloCam stands out as a beacon of convenience and reliability. It’s not merely a security camera; it’s a testament to the marvels of modern technology and environmental stewardship. So, to the Eufy S230, I award five gleaming stars. It’s the solar-powered, eco-conscious guardian that’s as kind to the planet as it is tough on trespassers. In the garden of good and evil, this sun-loving sentinel is a clear force for good.

Installed this over 2 weeks ago in my garden to cover some blind spots. Installation is easy, just 2 screws into the wall. The picture quality is fine at 2k, nighttime/vision in colour, inbuilt speaker and spotlight. All are good and do what is needed for my purpose. Setup via the eufy app was 'ok' but pairing to the network did take longer than expected. I got this item on sale under £100, and I was so impressed I bought another direct from Eufy. If you're on the market for a reliable, self charging camera to safeguard your home etc, I would happily recommend. I have recently purchased 2 more for my parents and set up theirs. Very happy customer.

I purchased multiple Eufy security products with the expectation that they would be reliable and last for years. Unfortunately, several devices failed far sooner than they ever should have. Two solo cameras (model S40 – cost £139 each) developed serious faults — one constantly drains its battery due to a faulty light that never switches off, and the other cannot even connect to the app anymore. On top of that, the video doorbell’s audio stopped working completely, removing its main purpose. When I contacted support, I followed all of their troubleshooting steps, but nothing improved. Once the warranty period passed, the response became extremely unhelpful — despite the fact these issues started much earlier and clearly relate to manufacturing quality rather than wear and tear. Instead of trying to help or stand behind their products, the support team simply stated that nothing could be done. I am genuinely disappointed. Security equipment should be dependable — not fail so quickly or leave you with no protection. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Eufy products to anyone looking for a trustworthy long-term home security solution. The devices were unreliable, and the after-sales support was poor and dismissive. I regret choosing this brand and would strongly suggest looking for alternatives if you value durability and customer service.

I don't want to fuel concern about charge of battery, I love this product, great image day and night, compact, and ultra reliable connection. It is mounted with a clear view of the eastern sky, it is winter in the UK and it simply can't get enough direct sunlight to maintain its charge. I have disabled features to preserve battery. But I am reassured by the capacity of the battery and the consumption rate, to be comfortable that it will run for months like this being boosted by the small amount of sunshine that it receives. The app is first class and has a dashboard that clearly shows the charge received and battery level leaving nothing to guess work. So far, very impressed. Update 31 December. It is slightly over one month since it was installed and the battery is now at 20%. I have just retrieved it and it is now being recharged. I am still impressed that it has run for this amount of time considering the miserable and cold weather there's been here in Scotland through December with the level of sunshine decreasing. This sounds more like a weather forecast but the charge very much depends on it. Setting zones, no infrared or visible spotlight has eeked out the battery life. Camera quality is excellent, night and day, and connection continues to be bullet proof.

La cámara es muy buena en todos los aspectos y además con la app de eufy te ofrece muchísimas posibilidades. El único inconveniente y para mí es grande es que no sea compatible con homebase, algo que de verdad no entiendo. Esta es la razón por la que después de comprarla la tuve que devolver y cambiar por una c2 pro. También una buena cámara pero que no me gusta tanto. En todo caso, si no vas a conectarla a homebase y solo vas a controlarla a través de Wi-Fi, me parece muy recomendable.

Easy to install, easy to configure, crystal clear 2k video. Audio quality is good. Don’t have to worry about removing the camera to charge at all. Solar ensures that the battery stays fully charged. Took me 10min to install and configure.

Nice product. Nice camera.

Ho acquistato due cam di questo modello, per un aggiornamento Eufy sistem, credo siano le migliori per i seguenti motivi: 1. Velocità trasmissione dati media 150 KB/s 2. Distanza dall'extender per la trasmissione dati circa 10,50 m. 3. Qualità dei materiali 4. Buona ricarica del pannello solare , anche con poca luce solare 5. Qualità immagine 2K, migliorata rispetto ai prodotti precedenti 6. Ottima la qualità del rilevamento solo umano, non da false notifiche, ne ho avuto altre marche ed in questo aspetto tecnico hanno fatto flop, invece Eufy su questa caratteristica è al TOP 7. In questo modello al rilevamento umano c'è l'opzione faro led, illumina l'ambiente almeno sino a circa 7m. 8. Facile da caricare e assemblare

The camera has a battery combined with a solar panel. The quality is better than you might expect from a battery cam. Features e.g. A.I. are plenty also.
