eufy Security SoloCam E30, Security Cameras Wireless Outdoor, Solar Camera Outdoor Wireless, 360° Pan, AI Tracking, 2K Clarity, No Monthly Fee

I recently bought this camera from Amazon and I’m really happy with it. The video quality is clear, both during the day and at night. The night mode offers two options: color or black-and-white, which is very useful depending on the situation. Installation was very easy, and the camera can charge using sunlight or even regular daylight, which is a big plus. Overall, it’s a great camera for the price, very convenient, and I definitely recommend it.

I saw this item go on-sale a few times, and this last time I couldn't pass it up. The packaging is nice and professional. The quality of the camera and solar panel felt good out of the box, it had some heft and felt like it was of good quality. It was very easy to setup. You're most likely going to need a drill if you are putting it anywhere outside, especially into a beam of wood or a facia board, etc. Picture quality is actually quite nice. I can see the license plates of cars pulling in, I have a wide enough view to see all my vehicles, plus the walk-up to my front door. The 360 degrees is nice, just realize its more like 350 degrees. It will go all the way to where you can basically see behind, but then you have to go around back the other way. Think of a pie / circle with a small slice taken out the back, thats where the camera can't rotate, but you can still see behind it fine. It doesn't tilt very far up but tilts down good. The default angle its facing at out the box is pretty much the highest UP it goes. KEEP THAT IN MIND! MOUNT IT HIGH AS YOU CAN! All the functions work just fine on the camera. The app is pretty good, isn't too difficult to navigate or set up. I do not have the homebase yet, but plan on getting that with more cameras. Using an SD card for storage, just get one they are cheap for the 128gb. The phone app does take up some battery while using it. In the background its a lot less. But keep that in mind if your phone battery isn't the best, or is old and doesn't have the capacity it used to. The actual battery inside the camera unit lasts all night, and it charges up quick with solar. Overall good camera for the price. I didn't want any subscriptions or anything and this was one of the best I could find in the price range I was looking at. The AI tracking had some kinks at first. You may have to mess with the sensitivity. Mine was recording flying insects at night a lot for no reason at first. After about the first week it seemed to stop. Either the bugs went away (doubt that) or the camera either learned through AI or had an update. It "bugged" me at first but it worked itself out after a few nights.

I love the clarity of these cameras and the ease of installation. That was the hardest part, great quality great price and no more paying ADT for home security. The accuracy of the color is as described and the motion detection system follows the subject until they are out of preset range.

Really like these cameras. The good: - Love the high resolution cameras and can make out very clearly who it is in the videos. - No monthly service fee but they do have a cloud service if you want. - The AI is quite good on these. You can set it up each camera to track a car, human, or any movement, or any combination of those. - The app is quite user friendly and I was able to figure it out pretty easily. - The battery life is fantastic. With the solar panels, the batteries are always topped off each day and the cameras stay more than 90% full all the time. We live in AZ so we do get a lot of sun so not sure how this would do in other areas like the Pacific Northwest. - The cameras actually look really nice. No antennae sticking out. They are small yet still powerful. I also like the LED light that turns on when it detects something. This is something you can control via the app and you can tell it whether you want the LED to be on or off when tracking. I like it to be on as I want anyone who sees the camera to know it is tracking them. - The app is excellent and I can easily view live feed from each camera or get access to previous recordings. - You can talk two ways with each of these cameras and the volume is surprisingly high. The not so good: - If you want additional storage than what the home base provides, you can purchase separately microSD cards that go in each camera. I did this and none of the SD cards actually worked. I am working with Eufy to fix this and will update this review if we are able to resolve this. It is a bit suspicious that the microSD cards do not work because the alternative is to use their cloud service. We will see if this gets fixed. - The connection to each camera is fairly good, however, there are times when the app tells you it just cannot connect to the camera. Not sure why this is happening but it seems to be getting a bit better and it certainly does not happen to often. - There are times that I have tested the cameras to see if it detects motion and sometimes it does not. This is not a major issue as the motion sensitivity can be adjusted so that is likely a quick adjustment.

I’ve been using the Eufy E30 solar camera for a couple of months now and I’m genuinely impressed. Setup was a breeze from mounting to pairing with the app, and solar panel alignment all took under 15 minutes. The 2K video quality is crisp, day and night, with smart AI alerts that accurately distinguish people and pets (no more frequent false alarms). The solar panel truly lives up to its promise: even with just a few hours of sunlight, the battery stays topped up! no wires or recharging required. I especially appreciate the local storage option to avoid no monthly fees and peace of mind with privacy. Build quality feels solid, weather holds up, and the app is easy to use. For a hassle‑free, reliable, and eco‑friendly security camera, this one’s a keeper. Highly recommend!

compre esta camara junto con el homebase 3. fácil de instalar, realice 6 orificios ya que quería la camara y el panel solar separados. Se recomienda hacer una carga inicial de 8 horas por medio del USB. ventajas. no consumes electricidad en la casa, ya lleva instalada casi el mes y sigue funcionando con la energía solar. detección de humanos con IA, te olvidas de falsas alarmas. desventajas. un producto algo caro, no funciona muy bien con Alexa, pero yo creo que es problema tanto de Alexa como de la skill de Eufy, 50-50, ojala se solucione en un futuro. De momento veo notificaciones en el cel y eventos que se graban. Nota. Puedes tener un Live view pero no se recomienda mas de 5 min ya que puedes consumir la batería. Considerar un Extensor de Wifi, dependes mucho de la señal. Me gustaria crecer el sistema con esta marca pero tendré que pensar si seria otra Wifi o ver si tienen con cableado por el LiveView.

The cameras work well for 8 days then stopped working. home base states that it is busy ( doing what? its only job is to provide security footage and memory storage). The home base is advertised as having a 16GB expandable storage, yet no further information is provided on how to expand the storage. Eufy has failed to reply to my query on this ( I suspect that they will try to upsell me a paid subscription to a cloud server) I purchased this unit for $803.00 one week later it was advertised for $349.00 on the Eufy website. Eufy customer support is customer support only by name, its just two words that mean nothing, don't expect anything from Eufy in the way of customer support. I think that I need a full refund, what do you think?

I set it up right out of the box and it took me less than 10 minutes no tech headaches at all. The picture is super clear and I love being able to check in from anywhere on my phone. The solar panel is surprisingly efficient; I haven’t needed to mess around with charging it. The AI tracking is smart and doesn’t spam me with alerts for every little thing, just the important stuff. No monthly fees is a huge bonus. Super happy with this purchase—totally recommend if you want easy home security that just works!

Simple to install and works well. Solar Charging works well and maintained a full charge for the last 6 months. Movement detection for people and vehicles is good and recordings are HD and clear. The only downside would be its operating temperature range. I may have to take it down when the very cold Alberta winter temperatures eventually arrive, and put it back up in spring.
