About this item

Forever Power, Solar Style: Sunlight each day is enough to continuously power SoloCam S40, so you never have to worry about changing the battery. And when the sun sets, the built-in battery keeps the juice flowing.
Light Up the Night: The ultra-bright 600-lumen spotlight switches on as soon as motion is detected, shining a light on any unwanted guests, while the color night vision picks out details in the darkness up to 8 meters away.
The Key is in the Detail: Capture every event that occurs around your home in ultra-clear 2K resolution.
No Hidden Costs: SoloCam is a one-time purchase. There are no monthly fees or hidden costs. Everything is done on-device for complete security and transparency.
Relevant Recordings: The built-in AI ensures SoloCam S40 only records when a person is present, rather than an animal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great camera!

This is my second Eufy s230 camera, they work as advertised....... great picture quality. i hang my cameras high so the fact that they are solar means I don't have to climb a ladder to take out the battery and charge them.... very happy with Eufy cameras. Also, there is no monthly charge unlike Ring which charges 50 dollars per device annually.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Great - We Own Five

A perfect self-powered, wireless security solution for us. We bought one, tested it, and were so pleased we installed four more. They are also easy to setup and mount. But we did add a separate network mesh for our home so the cameras are stand alone and not dependent on our internet router.

We did a lot of research on these alarms prior to purchasing them because of previous purchases leaving so much to be desired. The alarm and lights function is one of the best features since we have it set to automatically go off when we are away. It's a great deterrent for our unoccupied rental properties. Another feature that we did not know was included was the solar power charging efficiency charts that you can monitor daily. We love that The solar panels only need 2 hours of sunlight which is achieved even on cloudy days to be effective. The only thing that would make the solar power better is if there was a panel on a hinge that you can unfold after setup to manipulate the position for optimal sunlight capture. The night time color display is so much better than the typical black and white view that we've had on our previous cameras. The zoom in feature is not pixelated or distorted so this is awesome as well. Overall this is the best camera system we have owned yet and the only modifications to improve the system would be a hinged unfolding solar panel and also the distance from the camera to pick up further away. An added bonus feature would be if the camera would whistle or cockadoodledoo or make some kind of sound that encourages the intruder to look up followed by a recording that says you are now being recorded. Almost all the camera systems on the market do not have this built-in feature making it hard to get intruders to actually look up at the camera system so the police can identify who they are.

So, this refurbished solar camera was a great deal. Grant it, the motion detector seemed to be very sensitive, regardless of settings. Before long, connectivity depreciated and then it would start recording even though nothing was there anytime I pulled up anything on that camera. Recently, the random recordings increased, draining the battery and now it is no longer recharging via solar. We get so many notifications of nothing that we more or less ignore the device. It has become totally useless and frustrating.

5.0 out of 5 stars great cameras
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2023
I used several of these cameras on a house that we renovated. I set them up for security reasons as the house that they were mounted to is a large 8 bedroom home that is a seasonal rental. I see everything with these. They recharge with the sunlight and are a snap to setup. They alert me when someone comes into the field of vision (which can be modified) and records their activity. I like that no other equipment or subscription is needed. They hook up to the WI-Fi of the home and are easy to program and setup. I see all activity and I live 50 miles away from the site. I can at any time have a live look at any camera (I put 6 on this house.

We love the talking feature and you can set what type of motion detection that works for you. Definitely a great value for your money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Solar Panels on these don't work.
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2023
I bought 2 of these and had to replace them because they were both defective. I have one that clearly out in the sun and I get no charge, the icon shows it's charging but the battery level keeps decreasing. The other one gets no sun so I charge it occasionally.

The solar charge is my biggest concern so I don't have to keep going up a ladder, I'm very disappointed with this device's charging ability even with a power bank it takes forever.

On a different note customer service with Eufy is great they replaced the first 2 with no problems, only problem is 1 is defective and now they don't have any replacements.
Nice easy to maintain cameras my only gripe is the solar panels.
