QuestionWhat if there is a few days of cloud cover, how long can it work with no sun?
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer 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.

QuestionIs this solar camera waterproof? Is it protected against rain?
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer 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.

QuestionI understand you need WIFI to access the app and videos, BUT will the camera still trigger and record even without WIFI? For example, lets say that a storm knocks out the internet and blows down a tree. Will I see that vid after the internet is restored
Asked 3 years ago by PT3.
- Answer 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.

QuestionI have a Wi-Fi 5GHz. Sometimes it goes to 2.4GHz. Can I use this product?
Asked 1 year ago by Esther.
- Answer The eufy Security - SoloCam S40 only works on a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network and does not support 5GHz Wi-Fi. If your Wi-Fi sometimes switches to 5GHz, the SoloCam S40 will not be able to connect to the 5GHz network and will only function on the 2.4GHz band. To ensure compatibility, you may need to configure your router to separate the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks or have the SoloCam S40 connect exclusively to the 2.4GHz network.

QuestionWhat is the range or field of view of this camera?
Asked 2 years ago by Deserthiker46.
- Answer The eufy SoloCam S40 has a 140-degree wide-angle lens that provides a large field of view. This means that you can capture a wider area with a single camera, reducing the need for multiple cameras in one area. Additionally, the camera has a range of up to 300 feet, which allows you to monitor a large area.

QuestionI asked a couple of store associates and they told me I have to remove the SD card to see video footage, is that true?
Asked 1 year ago by Al.
- Answer No, you do not need to remove an SD card to view the eufy Security SoloCam S40 video footage. The SoloCam S40 does not use an external SD card; instead, it is equipped with built-in 8GB eMMC storage that securely stores video recordings. You can access all recorded footage through the eufy Security app without physically removing any component from the camera.
