eufy - SoloCam S220 Outdoor Battery Powered Security Camera with Solar Charging - White

The SoloCam S220 Outdoor Battery Powered Security Camera connects to a 2.4GHz WiFi network. Make sure the network SSID is not hidden, and the security protocol is set to either WPA or WPA2. It does not support connection to a 5GHz WiFi network. For app connectivity, you need to use the eufy Security app on your phone for setup and management. Currently, there isn't a PC app mentioned in the documentation for this device. To set up the camera: Fully charge the device. Use the eufy Security app, go to “Devices” > “Add Device” > select “S220 SoloCam.” Select your 2.4GHz WiFi network and enter the WiFi password. Follow the instructions to sync the camera by pressing the SYNC button and scanning the QR code on your phone screen using the SoloCam. You can then use the phone app to control and monitor the camera.

Yes, the eufy SoloCam S220 can be set up to record motion from both people and animals and send notifications. By default, the camera will detect all motion events, including humans, animals, and other objects. You can configure the motion detection settings in the eufy Security app: To record both people and animals: Set the motion detection to "All Motions" in the app. To limit detection to humans only: Adjust the motion detection setting to "Human Only." Notifications: The SoloCam S220 will send push notifications to your phone or tablet as soon as motion is detected. You can also customize the detection sensitivity and activity zones to fit your environment, ensuring greater accuracy in motion detection and reducing unnecessary alerts.

For the Eufy SoloCam S220 (also known as SoloCam S40), motion event recording length works a bit differently compared to video doorbells like yours that cap recordings at 60 seconds. Here’s what you should know: Recording duration is adjustable in the Eufy Security app (under Camera Settings → Recording Settings). The S220 can typically record up to about 120 seconds per motion event by default, depending on your settings. After the set duration is reached — or if motion stops — the camera will end the clip. If motion continues after the clip ends, Eufy waits a short "cooldown" period (usually a few seconds) before starting a new clip to save battery and storage. Because it uses on-board AI human detection, it will generally only record when relevant motion (like a person) is detected, reducing wasted footage.

This security camera has a 135-degree field of view.

This camera is powered by an integrated solar panel that keeps the battery charged year-round.
