Since I left the review below Eufy have reached out to help solve my problems with this camera , I have been so impressed with the time and care Eufy have spent on resolving my problems that I have now added to this review. Thanks to the help from Eufy my camera is now working as it should the quality of this camera was never in doubt the fix is is about the positioning,the height ,the angle ,the settings and trial and error, I really enjoyed getting this right , so I would recommend this camera and Eufy as a company I was surprised that they had read my review and acted on 5 stars all round. Had this for 2wks now ,good points easy to set up and install ,battery life seems to be very good and picture is excellent. It is very good quality and seem very robust, but it misses more events than it gets. I have tried everything in the settings on the app every tips on the internet but it seems this is a common flaw , I’ve had it a different heights ,moved it to different positions,different angles, straight on , to the side ,tilted up tilted down but make no difference ie it can pick up a small sparrow flying past but not a car driving past , does not pick a person until halfway down my driveway regardless of how I set it up, I had a cheat tapo camera which picked up every event so I’m a wee bit disappointed,nevertheless it is a good camera and a deterrent and maybe a future update will fix the flaws so I’m keeping this camera

Theses cameras are great and well worth the money. Easy to set up, no wires and work perfect if in direct sunlight for a few hours a day. If not you can buy a separate solar panel ( although will need a Eufy one for it to work properly). The free App is also impressive, easy to use with many features.

Excellent camera quality, easy to set up and install, charge within 5 hours which is great. The downside is the solar during winter time does not really charge it up so deduction in battery life for me is roughly 15% a day and maybe a 2% at best solar charge. Mines been up for 3 weeks and its ready to be taken down for its 3rd charge. So have them accessible with a ladder to take them down. My area is high traffic so my battery will deplete more than areas that may be quiet. They look great and it gives me a peace of mind after a friends van was stollen from outside my house. My internet provider is Plusnet and no issues with connecting.

I recently purchased the eufy Security SoloCam S220 Solar Security Camera, and it’s a fantastic bit of kit—especially for a wireless, solar-powered setup. The installation is incredibly easy. It’s completely wire-free, so you can mount it pretty much anywhere, and it connects quickly to Wi-Fi with no hassle. The app is very simple to use as well, making setup and day-to-day use straightforward. The solar panel is one of the best features. With just a few hours of sunlight a day, it keeps the camera charged, so you don’t have to worry about taking it down to recharge. This makes it ideal for long-term use without maintenance. The video quality is excellent too, with clear 2K resolution and solid night vision, so you can see everything clearly day and night. The motion detection works well, sending alerts when someone is detected, which adds peace of mind. Another big plus is that there are no monthly fees. Everything is stored locally, which is a huge advantage compared to other brands that charge subscriptions. Overall, this is a great product—easy to use, reliable, and very convenient thanks to the solar charging. It’s perfect if you want a simple, no-fuss security camera that just works. I would definitely recommend it.

So I’ve had this up exactly 3 months (31-10-24 to 31-01-25) throughout winter months so only around 8/9 hours daylight and even less sun. When I installed the camera it had 72% as I didn’t have the patience to let it fully charge first. 3 months later, it still has 31% left and this is with no power saving modes activated and fully optimised for surveillance. It was really easy to install and has a good picture quality and great sound quality. It can be taken down and charged by mains but I think as soon as longer sunnier days come the camera will soon top itself back up and charge a lot more than it has been. It’s definitely helped us feel more secure in our new house and just helps make sure we don’t miss anyone coming to the house etc. It can sometimes be delayed sending notifications and has in a few cases not picked up any movement at all. From tapping on a notification it generally loads up within 5-10 seconds but can be slower depending on internet connections. I do have this installed with the solar panel facing the sun (south) for best results. Overall I really like this camera and for a camera that is completely wireless and doesn’t need to be taken down for charging I think it performs really good and is excellent value for money. I’d like one for my rear garden however that doesn’t get sunlight and so I don’t think this camera would be suitable for that just for reference. Unless you didn’t mind taking it down and charging every few months. *UPDATE* Had this camera up for 472 days now and it’s still working as good as the day I got it, seen high temps, very low temps, drenched by weeks of rain, covered in snow and still had no issues. Not once! I’ve never had to take it down to charge it, it gets fairly low by the time winter is over but soon charges back up with a bit of sun! I’m very very impressed by this camera! Excellent purchase. (I added an updated screenshot too) Camera is currently on 37% mid Feb, and I think was last on 100% in October

Easy to set up, and mount. The picture wuality is pretty good, as is the night vision. Detects movement at a reasonable distance. Very satisfied. Have decided to purchase more in the same ecosystems. Battery was on course to last about a month in the Winter. Handy not having to wire in directly.

it’s really efficient

Excellent article, facile à monter et d'une résolution impeccable !

Been using for 1 year. Easy to set up with the Eufy hub, good video quality. No problems with the solar charging. I have no complaints. The app for this product is also good. I like to have Eufy because I don't like subscriptions and also like the brand quality. I also have 2 S330 cameras installed. Very happy with both types.

Consigliatissime a chi cerca una soluzione plug & play, affidabile e orientata al futuro.

The solo can S200 will not connect to the S2 base unit as it needs a firmware update. It can only be updated when connected to the S2 base unit. No solution available??
