Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have owned several different wireless camera systems and eufy is one of the easier to use and is free of subscription fees. Eufy produces many different models and s220 is one the less expensive models. It is a good size (lighter than earlier solar models) and has good battery life lasting months if not years if it has 3-4 hours of good sun every day. The unit does not work with the eufy cloud but can work solo or with the included base or can store videos in the units internal storage. This of course means a theif can walk off with your videos and camera - if this is a concern attach it to the home station. The image quality is excellent but the streams are highly compressed to speed transmission and increase storage. I tested this for several days adjacent to a wired door bell from a different company and notice the eufy missed recording one of the less obvious motion events. The app allows adjusting the sensitivity for capture and gives many options for notification but no camera will record exactly what you want and not record meaningless things (including insects on the camera). The app is often updated and loaded with features but is somewhat inefficient if you simple want to take 10 seconds to check your camera. The human and face detection works sometimes and is sometimes helpful. The app has annoying ads. Bottom line is a good camera and ecosystem but could use some thoughtful workflow software updates.

The cameras are exactly what I expect from Eufy. I got these to replace some very old Eufy cameras that have been working flawlessly for years. However, solar charging will eliminate the annual need to charge my old cameras. The real surprise however is the Homebase 3 (more on that later). The cameras were super simple to setup using the Eufy IOS app. The setup was very impressive as the app generates a QR code that you point the camera at and instantly the cameras join the same Wi-Fi network that the phone is connected to. It could not have been simpler. Although I have only had the cameras for a short time, I am extremely happy with them. The video is HD and as such, very clear even on the larger iPad. The cameras have stayed 100% charged nearly all the time. We live in Florida and have had nothing but sun since I got them. According to the solar dashboard, they have charged approximately 5% since being installed. Another solar Eufy Camera that I have does not charge until the battery drops to a certain percentage. However, these don’t appear to do that as I have yet to see them below 98%. The installation was the same as most Eufy cameras using the same mounting bracket as earlier models. The cameras really come to life when connected to Homebase 3. Note that the cameras are Wi-Fi and do not have to be connected to the Homebase to work. However, the functionality is greatly enhanced by connecting them. I was very surprised at the accuracy of the Homebase AI at eliminating false alarms. A huge improvement over Homebase 2 and other older cameras. You can even teach it specific faces and it alerts you by name when that person is detected. I have not yet added an optional SSID drive for additional space, but plan to. This replaced my Homebase 2 and as expected, but still surprising, all of my Eufy cameras connected to the Homebase 3. This is extremely nice compared to the old Homebase that only supported certain cameras, leaving several different devices to manage in the app. The system is now much more integrated. One thing I was very surprised at was that I found an option to connect to HomeKit. Everything I have read has said that Homebase 3 does not support HomeKit, which delayed my obtaining Homebase 3 since it was first released. I have not yet connected it to my HomeKit environment as I am afraid of it messing something up in my extensive HomeKit environment. However, I eventually will, and I am hoping I will be pleasantly surprised that it does support HomeKit. We will see. Obviously, I can’t comment on the durability of the solar panel (or even the cameras) since I have had them for such a short time. However, I am not concerned given that I have other Eufy solar camera models that have been working for over two years with no degradation in charging capacity. In my opinion, Eufy is far superior to most other security cameras. Homebase 3 is a real game changer with all the extra features. I highly recommend these cameras and especially Homebase 3.

Affordable camera systems have been a thing for a while now and I have used several different ones for my home and garage as well as my old business which utilized a lot of cameras. I’ve used wired and wireless, indoor and outdoor, strictly app based or with its own hub with a keyboard mouse and monitor. I’ve even used Eufy before and found the brand to be of high quality. I mention all that only to say I have used quite a variety and this systems’ set up was the quickest and easiest I’ve ever experienced. Install the app and follow the directions on the screen. Oh so many devices say that but so few seem to be as smooth and problem free as this set up was. The only thing that took much time was the 10-15 min each camera took to update. The app guides you wonderfully through each step. Once I was ready to mount the cameras I discovered the range is excellent. It seems better than my older Eufy setup. I could go anywhere in my yard and still show a strong signal. I think my favorite part is the local storage option. I really dislike anything subscription based. Like seriously dislike as I own about 800 movies and do minimal streaming. So I really appreciate the option of installing a hard drive for additional storage directly onto the Homebase to store your clips with no subscription required! Being solar is also a nice feature for this set up as the two cameras are mounted high in our backyard to keep an eye on our chicken run. This means that these cameras require minimal maintenance once installed. As far as the cameras themselves, they are quite good. The 2k picture looks fantastic; I can tell what chicken is which even on the ones that are the same color. Speaking thru the app to the cameras works well enough (a bit muffled) to get the animals attention. I probably won’t be using it to talk to any people but we did test that out and we were able to have a conversation back and forth. Though there were a couple of moments where it wasn’t the easiest to understand each other. All in all I really like these cameras. I like how well the app and the solar charging work. The smart AI motion detection is quite good. The option for onboard storage expansion is awesome. Other than the ok at best audio quality, I would rate everything about this set up a solid 5 star rating. If I knew someone looking for a versatile and low maintenance camera set up in this price range, I would absolutely recommend it to a friend.

I decided on getting this for the base unit and additional cameras as I already own a S220 camera for over 6 months. I had the previously bought camera on the side of my house and never had to recharge it. The base is important upgrade over just having a S220 solo, why, AI updates as the S220 camera at night always alerted on my AC. Now with the base this has not happened at all a major improvement on my setup. Was very simple to setup as I charged the 2 S220 cameras fully prior to setting up my new system. Once the S220 cameras where charged it took me about 15 minutes to get all 3 of my S220 recognized by the base unit. I was able to custom same the 2 new S220 cameras to the location I have used them in. I retired an older 1080P setup for this new 2k setup as my time with the S220 helped me decide that an upgrade to 2k was worthy. One item these cameras lack is a floodlight for night time. My fix for this is solar lights that only come on with motion and this is a good option for the lack of flood lights on the cameras. I should of bought a home base before as this makes my setup almost complete, next I will get a Eufy 2k doorbell. I do like that when I am not home I can view any of my cameras and set my security on or off. I would buy this setup again.

The eufy Security - SoloCam S220 kit does not sacrifice any quality when it comes to providing you with the safety and security needed to monitor your property. To start the 2K resolution both at night and during the day does not leave any detail pixelated. You are able to clearly get shots of people's faces and license plates if need be. Pairing that with the Artificial intelligence aspect quickly within the Eufy app you can tap on someone's face and the API can associate whatever clips that person has been captured in. The solar aspect of the camera is perhaps the only drawback. The panel is quite finicky when it comes to how it needs exposure to sunlight and even the installation guide warns you of this. I would say the mount included also makes it a bit more difficult to be able to set the camera on an angle you need while also ensuring exposure to the sun without any part of that solar panel being blocked. On the plus side the camera does not drain battery too quickly so even if it doesn't get the sun exposure it needs you won't be recharging it daily. If you are trying to mount this on a porch or anything with an Eve, don't even try. It will not work. If just one portion of that solar panel is obstructed you will not get a charge generated. The camera is fantastic. The app and monitoring is fantastic. However be very much aware that if you cannot find a location to mount this camera you will be purchasing a solar device that truly cannot do what it is designed to do. You only secondary option would be to run a USB charging cable to the camera which then opens the port up to water damage.

Have a really good image! and is so easy configure the Home base just need to use the ethernet Match with the modem

The eufy Security - SoloCam S220 - is essentially a trail camera. I'm serious. I have used a decent amount of cameras from all sorts of brands, both name brand and knock off. I have used PC based security software and cloud based storage. The SoloCam fits in the cloud based, but stores the cloud in your house. Depending on your usage, this is just fine. If you just want something to record motion, people, cars etc in an alleyway, this device works well for you. If you want to stream it towards a server, I would suggest looking for something designed with that in mind. For my use, I want to monitor around the house while I work from home. I want to see what the kids are doing while I am tied to my desk. They are all old enough to be out there on their own, but it is nice to be able to lay eyes on them. It is also good for security. Last summer, a 5 year old scaled my fence around the pool, boosted himself up over the railing and went for a dip. Because of my setup, I was too him before he touched bottom. Lets get to the nitty gritty of these eufy cameras. They are nice and durable, they should hold up great to the elements. However, you can only do live continuous streaming if they are plugged in full time. The battery will not last the day doing rtsp streaming. In event only mode, you only get clips of the event that triggered the camera. This works, unless you want to monitor as well. However, you can't have the best of both worlds. The events do not trigger when you have it set for continuous stream. The Homebase says it is a continuous recording and I do have a 120GB drive in there, but I don't have any video files. If you are looking for a set it and forget it solution, this will work well. If you want to monitor as well, there are far better options under $50 that work better.

I had previously used Arlo for my security camera but now they are requiring a monthly plan. I decided to go with Eufy and I could not be happier. The solar panel keeps the battery charged even though one of mine is not in direct sunlight. They were easy to setup.So far, so good.

These are wonderful cameras quality is great! Easy to install
