Customer Ratings & Reviews

The eufy solar security cam gives clear videos, notifications, and a spotlight for security. It is easy to install and the app works great. No subscription is required to use and retain video history. The camera tilts and has a wide view. Linking to Google devices was simple and works great. Set up in the app didn't take long. The reason for taking one star is more about my setup, but others may not have the problem I do. I wanted this camera because of the solar power. Not having to take the camera down to recharge was a big plus in my opinion. However, I ran into a problem trying to find a spot on the house high enough to capture the full area I wanted and having the solar panel in full sun for at least 2 hours a day to charge it. I have a roof overhang and guttering. Tall trees on the east side and back of the house. By the time the sun gets over the trees, it's high enough to cast a shadow on the house due to the guttering. If my only concern was the front of the house and the driveway in front of the carport I could install it at ~7 ft. high and it would be fine. However, I have a doorbell that covers that area and does fine. I wanted this to cover the area beyond that where our 2nd vehicle is parked. I could not install it on one side of the carport because of a shed blocking the view. The other side does not allow me to install high enough to view the area while also getting enough sunlight to charge. So, I've installed this to the back deck that overlooks the backyard and continue to use my non-solar security cam in the front. Not exactly the setup I desired, but it is giving me added coverage while not having to worry about charging the battery. As I said, that's a problem with my setup, may not be yours. Just something to consider.

They were good at the beginning but after 6 months the batteries will not charge from solar

I have an existing Eufy Pro system and purchased this camera as a self-contained solar unit add on. Adding camera was a snap to the system--and solar battery charging has been flawless so far. Have yet to experience any drop off Wi-Fi or connection problems

Saw the reviews on Youtube and they weren't wrong. Love the solar integrated as it requires no wiring and no electricity! Be aware, you need to pick the right sunspots as I've had to change one position from an ideal location to another.

Best for the price and also very durable and maintain services during the hurricane.

I love these cameras. Just to have the peace of mind and the good quality playback.

We install 2 of fhe eufy outdoor solar cameras to integtate with our Eufy flood light camera, last but not least rounded things out by installing a Eufy doorbell also. Next on our list is the Eufy Homestation.

Works without wire links to my phone even when I'm away. It let's me know when someone was there.

Great little camera, we own the home next door and this set up works great. No wires no problems, alerts when we need them.

Love these cams. I’ve been building my eufy eco system of security at my home. I purchased 4 of these cams to go along with a eufy doorbell, 2k pro cams and floodlight cam. Hoping it doesn’t disappoint. But so far so good!

Great little camera love the fact I don't need a contract

Poor zoom, reacts late to passers-by. I am not happy with the product.

Great quality but wish it could record 24/7 not just when it detects something.

I got the eufy spotlight camera to mount next to the garage to watch over the driveway. I previously had another camera mounted there but wanted something with a spotlight also. My previous camera wasn't solar-powered and in its first location (watching the front porch), the battery lasted about 6 months before needing a charge. However, moving it to such a high traffic spot caused it to constantly record and need to be charged monthly. A huge plus for the eufy spotlight camera is that it is solar-powered. I fully charged it inside using the USB-C cable before installation. After installation, it rained for two days. As soon as the sun came out it started charging. I will note that the sun wasn't even directly hitting and it was already charging. I checked it again tonight and the battery is still at 100%. You can see in the app that it is charging. Another pro is that you can set it to only alert you for humans, instead of animals. I can back my car out of the garage and leave and it doesn't record it. For me, that's exactly what I want. There's no point in having tons of stored videos of cars coming and going. However, as soon as you walk through its path it will record. As far as the spotlight, it is very bright. Something that I didn't realize when I got it was that the light is customizable. You can go from brightness 1-100. You can also change the color temperature from warm (more yellow) to cool (white light). For brightness, I use the cool setting at 100% (600 lumens). There are two options for night vision. You can have black and white using the IR LEDs, which looks good, but a little grainy. The second option is for color night vision. This option turns on the spotlight when motion is detected. I used the IR lights for a couple of nights and then the spotlight. I prefer the spotlight option as you get better image quality and a light if you need to go out at night. You can also use the built-in microphone to talk through it. I tested this and the quality was clear and loud. So far I have 100 events recorded and it has used 376MB out of 7.3GB of the internal storage. You can download recordings from the app and erase the ones you don't need. You can prioritize between optimal battery life, optimal surveillance, or customize between the two. You can also set activity zones to monitor. The eufy spotlight cam gives you two. Every other camera that I have had only gives you one. This is perfect for me since the camera is facing a road. I simply set the activity zone below the line of the road so that people walking down the road won't trigger it. When it captures a video, it also takes a screenshot of the best picture of the person's face. Just below the recording, you will see the face of the person that it recorded. Click that and you have the best still shot of that person. That's a nice feature. If you're watching it live, there is also a siren button. It works well and is quite loud. Overall, there has been very little lag between an event triggering and me getting the notification. For example, my eufy doorbell cam notifies me after the UPS guy is halfway back to his truck after hitting the doorbell. The spotlight cam is nearly instant. There are a couple of drawbacks to the eufy spotlight cam for me. First, it is designed to be on the 2.4GHz frequency of your WiFi. Since I have both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands coming from the router, the eufy spotlight cam wouldn't connect to my WiFi. I had to create a separate guest network that was only running the 2.4GHz band to connect the spotlight cam to. I didn't have to do this with my eufy doorbell camera. It connected automatically with no issue. Another huge issue (and they tell you this in the setup guide) is that people walking directly towards the camera may not be seen. They need to cross the path of the camera for it to realize they are there and record. It has a big blind spot directly ahead of it. I tested this by walking straight at the camera from outside the activity zone. It didn't realize that I was a person that it should be recording until I was just a few feet from it. Basically, once someone figures out this flaw, they can easily defeat it and it becomes useless. They could just slowly walk directly towards it, duck down below it and it wouldn't capture anything. That's a big oversight for something that is supposed to be a security camera. Overall, however, it is a great spotlight camera that you (in theory) never have to charge.

I use it to provide added security for my home. I especially like the built-in light that can be controlled from your phone.

So it works as expected, recommended it to friends

Nice addition to my setup. A little slow on the notification and wish it had theft detection like my 2ks.

All signals always on point and great communication day or night, easy to install and amazing customer support

Use it everyday works great does it’s job always on time never late

The purchase is worth it if you don’t like to run wires around your house. Solar charges a bit slow but still worth it.
