Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the excellent camera quality, long battery life, and ease of use of the SoloCam S40. The solar panel is a frequently praised feature, enabling convenient and continuous operation. While some users experienced issues with notifications and concerns about water resistance, the positive feedback on features like night vision, motion detection, and the spotlight significantly outweighs the negative comments. The built-in storage, eliminating subscription fees, is another highly valued aspect.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    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.

    The video quality is really good and the local storage is very useful, no more subscription for me. However, when I receive a notification and click to view the video it appears white for a few seconds and sometimes I have to reload it so I can view the recording. Zoom is decent, not as much as I would like but good enough, HDR does need some improvements, highlights as well.

    Reliable Solar Security Camera

    Great product. Obviously best for sunny areas. Tend to get hyper and send you alerts for nothing when you check your 'events' in the app. App needs redesign, a tat too complicated and too saturated with advertisement for their other products

    Great camera it's clear . It really is solar power . Now I tried this inside my hallway where the lights are on most of the day and it does keep the battery full. The speaker is loud to where I had to lower the volume. The flood light is bright . It brings the mount and the USB cable to charge it. The only thing I wish it had was a sdcard slot to upgrade the memory. It a big camera but that's because of the solar panel on top. The recordings stay inside the built in storage . You don't need a monthly subscription. Anker did a good job with this one

    This camera does the trick man. It notifies you pretty quick and the quality image is great. Im going to buy 2 more for the house for sure. Worth the money. My one ding to it is that over time, the elbow piece that holds it still gets loose over time and won't hold it without a bracket for support which i had to do. But the self charging using solar and ease of use definitely makes me want to purchase more for the house, and I will.

    Nice Stand Alone Security Cam and Spotlight

    Easy to set up. Did a good job monitoring our front porch. I like that it is solar and charges each day. Also has a spotlight alarm. I like the feature that lets you choose target location for monitoring is cool too.

    Clear video and straight forward setup. The app is solid and gets the job done. The reason this is not a five star review is because the battery life is not as impressive as my previous Eufy spotlight cam which would go for months without a charge. I don’t have this camera in an optimal place for solar charging, but I thought it would last more than a month.

    This is a nice solar outdoor camera which is easy to install. The security camera captures clear pictures and transmits them to our phone. But the night time pictures are not the best. We will buy it again .

    Mount issues, great otherwise!

    The camera works fine and has lots of options, and integrates perfectly with all the other Eufy products we already had. It only loses a star for the mount breaking on install (I’m confident it wasn’t user error since I found many similar reviews when I looked online). The screws were terrible, they were stripped before they were even halfway in. Luckily the company told me to buy a replacement on Amazon, which they reimbursed me for! And the new mount was strong metal, not the weaker plastic that comes with the product.

      - Wi-Fi signal was not found - As the Wi-Fi list is sync up from the camera device, and not from your phone, the signal of Wi-Fi in your home might be too weak or unstable for the device to connect.
      - Failed to connect to Wi-Fi - Unstable Wi-Fi signal affects the connection between the camera and your home router. It is recommended for you to strengthen the Wi-Fi signal to the camera to ensure it operates properly.

    Charging doesnt seem to like any clouds in the sky at all. And app can be slow to show events/live feed at times. But other than that, super easy to setup and connect. Faster app would give it 5 stars

    The missing fifth star is because is does occasionally require manually wall charging, the solar power could be better.
