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

I don't usually leave reviews but this is well earned. These cameras are everything you would want. The solar panels work great. Mine has stayed at full charge and I'm never concerned about battery. The AI tracking is perfect. I bought a gutter bracket which makes these that much perfect as there really is no drilling to set up at all. Watching someone walk up my driveway and it following them all the way to the front door is INSANE. The sound/volume it produces when using the two way talk is crystal clear and loud. Not to mention the night vision is great, can see perfectly through all times of the day/night. Also the home base is awesome, i have over 100 events saved and it is no where near the storage capacity. HIGHLY recommend you get these!

I have tried multiple home cameras (Blink, Ring, Wyze) and the Eufy is by far and away the best.1. Reliability. With the solar panel absolutely zero issues, even in Seattle winter.2. Camera quality. Great, clear images3. Ease of use. Easy to setup, easy app to use. Installing took like 7 minutes.4. Capture quality. Feels secure because it doesn't miss captures like my other units did.Cons:1. Sometimes the microsd card doesn't stay fully in, and you have to push it back in. Only happened on one camera, but multiple times.2. Even on low detection, has some false positives. But less than other brands, and I prefer this to missing things (like my other cameras did).We bought these for our home, and then a month later bought for our second home because they're great.

The media could not be loaded. I've got all cameras installed. Compared to my Arlo, blink and ring cameras, this was a BREEZE to set up. Very simple wall mount, easy to put together but difficult for anyone to grab and remove. It connected to my wifi immediately. Instructions did not indicate to turn off your phone VPN during set up, so that's important.However, they are semi charged so it didn't take 5 hours to charge from zero charge. It took about an hour to fully charge the first thing I really appreciated is that the app tells you when the camera is charged so you can unplug it (during initial set up).This has a lot of features I didn't read about that are a helpful unexpected bonus, such as the ability to NOT have alerts for vehicles. The cameras have a calibration feature, so once you get it in the preferred location, you calibrate the camera to it's location.you don't need a subscription, but can get one for the cloud. You add a 128 mg memory card in each ptz camera, and any video or pictures are stored there. However, it includes a 1 tb tower that the cameras connect to, and I'm not sure how pictures are stored there. Your video and pictures on the memory card are auto encrypted, but to see the full pic/video... You have to wait about 15 seconds for it to decrypt. This prevents stealing the pictures or hacking your signal to get pictures. So it's important to set the alerts to send a snapshot for immediate viewing. It will also just send a text. Also, the memory overwrite itself when full, and offers the ability to download them, crop, share, etcAlso, don't set up the features and camera names until the cameras are placed, or you may wind up doing it twice as I did.Another nice feature is the ability to set 4 standard views per camera, but you can also manually pan, tilt, zoom. You snooze the camera which was very effective while my handyman was running around outside.A very nice find is the kit includes the wall mounts, 10 ft type c cords, screws, etc. you don't need to buy anything to get them mounted.The cameras have 10 different chime options, which is nice to differentiate cameras. You can set them to monitor continuously, or only notify for humans, cars, other, or all. If you live on a busy street and don't want to see cars driving by, this is nice. You use OTHER to detect pets... Or wildlife.The ptz features work very well, and It seems to be learning. It has an AI feature that you can disable. I'm testing it out. You can also share your videos and pictures with the manufacturer to get points you can use for purchases. I'm not sure how many points it takes for that to be helpful.The cameras work with Google and Alexa. It was very easy to connect to this, but I googled the instructions. The batteries are built in, and I'm not sure if you ever replace them since you'd have to take it apart to do that, those batteries cost about $50.Once you plug the solar thing into the camera, the apps tells that it is charging and the source of power and the percentage of battery remaining.It records sound, and caught me talking to the handyman and it was easy to understand what was said. It idea a snooze feature as well to stop alerts, starting at 30 minutes with 4 other time settings.I haven't figured out how to talk to anyone thru the camera yet. There's even more settings, but that's all I can think of now. The most time consuming part was clocking around in the app to see all the features and what they do.One last thing, the app for the store to purchase is not the save app for the cameras. But both apps have the same name, just different colors.The picture in the day and night is crystal clear. It's 2k, but you can reduce it to 1080p or 720. Also it will auto downgrade and upgrade the recording speed based on your network.Because the pan is 360 degrees, and includes tilt and zoom .. you really can put it anywhere as long as the solar charger is within 10 feet of the camera. The 5 cameras replaced 10. I have a lot of angles, so this is a time saver. Also, since it is self charging, no need to climb ladders to change batteries every few months.I also got the smaller non ptz camera, and it works great too, just no pan or tilt. The zoom goes 8x I think and doesn't pixelate ... It remains clear.The cameras do need to be set up in the lower band of 2.4 ghz (is that right number), but once set up .. you can move your phone back to the higher GHz.. but the cameras can hook directly to wifi or to the included base.

The media could not be loaded. Been using these for a week now. So far pretty happy with the cameras. The quality of the camera seems great. The whole system was easy to install and connect all the cameras. The quality of the videos both day and night are very good. The app is very user friendly and has many different options for settings on the cameras. The only reason for the 4 stars is because it does seem to take a bit for my phone to connect to a camera for viewing or to look at recordings. Still messing with interest things as im not sure if its truly the cameras or my wifi is getting overloaded. The Hub can be connected via ethernet or wifi so that's a nice feature. I was really looking for something with good night vision and am very happy with this. You can see a good distance at night and the quality of that picture is pretty good. I did research many cameras for a few weeks before my purchase and in my research eufy was the best. Finally pulled the trigger on the purchase after talking to a close family friend that also recently purchased and was very happy with their purchase. Definitely good quality cameras for the price point. Plenty of the needed features without breaking the bank, and quality of the video is great.

This is my 3rd Eufy camera. I have the doorbell camera, the S330 and now the E30. Super easy to set up. The picture quality is awesome, the night vision is outstanding. The solar panels work great to keep the battery charged up. Very happy with the Eufy products!

​This is a five-star camera all the way. The 2K video is sharp, and the 360-degree rotation lets me see everything. The solar panel works great, and the AI motion tracking is a fantastic feature. The best part is storing video locally on an SD card with no required monthly fees. Eufy nailed it with this one. Highly recommended!
