Whats Included
- 1 x eufy Security SoloCam S230/S40
- 1 x USB-C Charging Cable
- 1 x Screw Mount
- 1 x Screw Packet
- 1 x Quick Start Guide
A: No base needed.
Q: What if there is a few days of cloud cover, how long can it work with no sun?
A: Normal battery life with no recharge is good for 2 months at regular usage. Solar helps the battery recharge from 75% to 98%. If there is no sun for 3 months I think we will have more to worry about.
Q: Do you have to have wifi to use this camera? I’m building a house and wanted to put one at the site.
A: Yes, eufySecurity devices needs to connect 2.4GHz Wi-Fi
Q: Is there a monthly monitoring fee?
A: You can sign up for it, but don'thave to. There's a basic $3 and $10 plan. There's an 8gb card for local storage. It can't be upgraded for more storage because it's built-in.
Q: Is this solar camera waterproof? Is it protected against rain?
A: It is IP67 Weatherproof. However, in order to avoid the problem of rapid aging of equipment due to excessive sunlight or heavy rain erosion, we recommend you use some cover to shield the surface of the solar cam if there is a lot of rain.
Q: Does this offer continuous recording or is this a record by detection only?
A: It only records when motion is detected.
Q: Hello, Will I be able to view the cameras remotely?
A: I think as long as it is connect via wifi you will be able to remotely view using the app.
A: I don't see why it wouldn't. You just wouldn't get the pings to your phone when your router is not powered. As long as the camera is on, video should be saved to the internal card and retrievable once it reconnects to the wifi.

My Review of the Eufy SoloCam S40 (After 1 Month o
I’ve been using the Eufy SoloCam S40 for about a month now, and overall, I’m really happy with it. Setup was super easy—just mounted it, connected it through the app, and it was ready to go. No hub needed, which was a plus. The 2K video quality is sharp and clear, even at night. The built-in spotlight actually makes a big difference—it lights up the area when motion is detected, and that full-color night vision is way more helpful than grainy black-and-white footage. What really sold me was the solar charging. I get a few hours of sun a day, and that’s been enough to keep it running without plugging it in once. Eufy says two hours a day is enough, and so far, that’s been accurate. It’s been hands-off in the best way. The motion detection is solid. It’s smart enough to tell people apart from other motion (like tree branches or animals), and you can set activity zones to avoid false alerts. The alerts come through fast, and the two-way audio works great when I need to speak to someone at the door. Also worth noting: no subscription required. It comes with built-in storage, which was a big reason I went with Eufy over some other brands.

BEST SECURITY CAMERA HANDS DOWN
The eufy security camera is everything you’d need! I bought these to replace my ring cameras I was tired of having to change my batteries every month and a half. Plus I didn’t like paying a subscription to have my cameras you know record? Why else would anyone buy cameras why should you have subscriptions for that? Anyway with the eufy solar solo cam you don’t need to change batteries as long as you have it in adequate sunlight, I have 3 of them 2 of them are on 100 percent and the other one is just below since it doesn’t get much light. You don’t have to pay for a subscription for these cameras it comes with 8gb internal memory which is more than enough space for a while, and if it’s not you can also pay for a subscription if you so please, OR you can buy the eufy home base and be able to store videos up to 8 terabytes which is equal to 8000gbs. The spot light on the camera is also pretty bright it can light up my whole backyard, which is pretty impressive for a solar 4K camera and floodlight. The video quality is top notch, the camera itself is just superior to everything that I’ve used and I couldn’t be happier to get them and secure my house!

Great camera
Awesome camera! The view is clear night or day. Night vison is good. The distance is good, shows plenty. From my home to across the street over 100 feet it shows everything. Solar battery seems to always be charged. Ran the camera for almost a hour at night watching it throught the app and it only went down 2%. I paid 200 and now its 99 so a a bit upset about that.
