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

These cameras are great. Easy to set up and very reliable. They maintain their charge using the solar panel that is built in. You just have to make ensure you install them in an area where they'll get sun. Once they're properly installed and connected to your WIFI, they're worry free. The human detection vs motion detection is extremely useful because you can eliminate unnecessary notifications - especially if you need them pointed toward trees and bushes that move in the wind. They also utilize user-customizable detection zones that hone down undesired notifications even further. The picture is more than adequate - both night and day.

This camera is fantastic for the price. On sale for $65 was a deal. Very easy set up and the app was super easy. Live action viewing on the app and it has a built in alarm as well as being able to talk to the camera through the speakers if someone is at your door. For basic surveillance of your property this thing is great. The camera view was even wider than I expected. Built in solar feature is even better and no monthly subscription.

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 allsecurity 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!!!

Really the overall experience is only a 3.5 but not having to pay a monthly fee helps a bit and 2 cameras ready to go with no other purchase for $119 seemed like a steal. It's the awful app interaction with the cameras after setup that drags this.The connection setup to your account is great, could not be easier. Installation is likewise very simple, 2 screws and spin the unit on the mount and aim it.Charging. Unless you have direct ,and I do mean *direct*, sunlight, all day, you will be charging these but how often will vary. Seems like they should be able to go at least a month without charging in the shade so that's not horrible, if you have a shaded one you treat it as a regular battery camera. Plenty of modern solar panels can get some juice from ambient daylight so that seems like a miss considering how little power these need.Quality is just ok, 2k isn't really 2k if it's full of chunky compression artifacts. 15 FPS is barely adequate, I'd rather a clear lower def recording without artifacts at a higher frame rate any day. Cam makers are just in a bullet point war here, crystal clear 720p at 30fps is more than adequate to read things or identify a person while blurry, choppy, 15fps 4k is useless. But at $119 for 2 I'm fairly happy with the quality...once I download it so I can actually see something.The app is horrible. It downloads and signs up fine, it adds cameras quite easily too...but that is something you will do once or maybe a couple times if you add devices to the system. Setting up detection zones is also fairly easy, it often doesn't register where your finger is touching though and moves the whole field instead of moving a point. Getting it to connect to the cameras to update events takes a long time and is hit or miss, sometimes you'll get an alert of a recording but then get to the event screen and there is nothing there even after refreshing. Viewing videos is painful, touching the tiny icons to view full screen, play, pause or move the time slider is really hard to get right. Make these controls *MUCH* larger, they disappear after a second anyway so make it big enough to actually hit with a finger. I've just defaulted to downloading any event and then emailing it to my desktop computer because that inconvenience is faster and less awkward than trying to view on the phone when streamed from the camera. FWIW one camera is 10feet and one wall from my wifi station the other is literally 2.5 feet away, they show maximum signal always.Value - 5Picture quality - 3.5, clear 1080p 30fps would be way better than artifacty 2k 15fpsInstallation/setup - 5App- 13.6 average
