Eufy Security SoloCam S220 Solar-Powered Battery Camera, Resolution 4MP, Wi Fi, Bullet, 2 Way Audio, Works with Amazon Alexa

I purchased this camera for outdoor security. It worked well for about 5 months and then stopped connecting to my wifi. I have another camera from the same company and have no issues with connecting. I contacted customer service to have it replaced since it is still under warranty and was told they could not help me since it was a wifi issue, which it clearly wasn't since I have no issues with any other devices. I went back and forth with customer service for weeks until they finally honored the warranty and sent a new one. Unfortunately, the replacement camera is refurbished, they couldn't even send a brand new camera which I find very deceptive as a business practice. Would never recommend or purchase from them again.

Overall reasonably priced. Several nice features that include an alarm to scare off intruders. A handy security camera that is pretty much self contained.Placement can be a challenge as the solar panel must remain totally exposed to sunlight to recharge the camera. Finding a location and trying to keep the camera somewhat concealed can be tricky. The battery life between charges have been very good so far. Overall the quality seems very good for an outdoor security camera.

We are very happy with this camera.I have multiple Kasa cameras that we use for indoor live monitoring. We were looking for a battery operated camera to use for outdoors (wasn't impressed with the Kasa options) and decided to give this a try.While mixing systems is something I heavily avoid, the Eufy security camera has been a delight. The motion detection is phenomenal and it is very easy to set up zones. We have a street and parking out from and I only receive notifications for individuals walking up the stairs.Notifications are immediate. There is close to zero lag (Something I experience with Kasa cameras. Kasa sends a notification after the action occurred).A known negative of this system, there no cloud storage. This is only a problem if someone steals ... MoreWe are very happy with this camera.I have multiple Kasa cameras that we use for indoor live monitoring.

There is close to zero lag (Something I experience with Kasa cameras. Kasa sends a notification after the action occurred).A known negative of this system, there no cloud storage. This is only a problem if someone steals your camera (all the files are saved in the camera). The advantage of local storage is that you don't have to pay a monthly cloud fee. One of the benefits of the Eufy system is that you may download files from the device remotely (which is a nice non-cloud service).The battery life is great. 2.5 months of use and we are at 40% battery. Zero complaints.Why 4 stars? I would give it 4.5 if I could'. And want to give it 5 stars.As a product, the camera deserves 5 stars. The app, deserves 3. The good: Notifications are quick, UI is Intuitive, and live streaming works well. The bad: viewing and downloading saved videos is a hassle. The quality is great, but it takes time and is very laggy. You need patience. Out of frustration, I set my camera up to auto save/ transfer events to a network drive that I have quick access too (but I know most people do not have this resource).Long story short, this is a surprisingly great camera. I will likely switch to Eufy security cameras going forward.
