Рет қаралды 115,989
Күн бұрынToday, we are going to check and test out Eufy's long awaited accessory that a lot of Eufy Cam users have been asking for since they started selling their Wireless, Battery Powered Eufy Cameras. This solar panel is compatible with the Eufy Cam, Eufy Cam 2 and 2 Pro, Eufy Cam 2C and the 2C Pro, Eufy Cam E and also for their Eufy Cam Solo.
So, we will do the unboxing, check out the specs, do the installation and test this solar panel and see how fast or slow it will charge Eufy's higher capacity cameras (13400 mAh) like the Eufy Cam 2 and the Cam E compared to their Eufy Cam 2C (6700 mAh).

In the UK here in the middle of winter with next to no sunshine and after fitting this panel to my 2C front camera that sees 20 to 30 activations a day after a week my charge level has risen from 17% to 20%, so very happy with it so far. No more manual recharges even in the worst weather.

Hello hope you don’t mind me asking, I’m also in the U.K. once the panel has charged the camera does it keep it topped up. As you know U.K. weather n going up n down a ladder to charge the camera isn’t an option so I’m interested in one. I’m still trying to decide on the camera’s 2 or 2pro and a doorbell with chime or add on to Homebase could you give me any advice on these, any help would be appreciated. Iv got myself confused, haven’t seen the E option so not worried. I’m also confused why don’t they all have anti theft on the cameras? Any help from anyone would be appreciated thank you
@Royster-58 3 жыл бұрын
Once I fitted the solar panel it charged the camera from 17% to full and maintained it all the way through to spring time. A deciding factor will be the amount of sun where the camera is located, but for me it has worked great.

Thank you Roy I’m on Isle of Wight so do have strong sun when it’s out. Can I ask please which camera set do you have and does the human detection work ok, our old camera could only say all or people but it didn’t stop street Walkers setting it off from 20ft away.

Hopefully in the future, Eufy can make a solar panel with perhaps 2 cables or have 2 ports in order to connect 2 Eufy Cameras at the same time. So, if you have 2 cameras in the front of your house, these can be topped up with just one solar panel. Will be more aesthetically pleasing and better for the pocket.

Good to Have a Solar Panel if you have Battery Camera
@KouserYangMusic 3 жыл бұрын
When you set the power source to solar panel the camera is drawing power directly from the solar panel, not the battery. Since the Eufy solar panel does not have a built in battery pack, on a cloudy day the camera would have no power unless the battery source automatically kicks in as backup. I’ve not tested this but I think this is the case in order to preserve the battery longevity. If the power source is set to battery the camera will draw power from the battery. The solar panel will be charging the battery instead of providing direct power for the camera.
@LifeHackster 3 жыл бұрын
True... but there is a comment here about detection statistics on the camera which resets every time the battery gets fully charged... so I'm assuming that the solar panel option will not reset it but the battery option will... I do have to test this though..

@@LifeHackster yes that is correct. I have mine set to solar panel which was initially not an available option when I first purchased my Eufy cameras. I’ve been using the Blink XT solar panel which has an internal battery that can hold a charge on days where it’s too cloudy to charge the panel.
@MaliNicnicmali 2 жыл бұрын
I hope you get this message since it's been a year since you wrote here. I am trying to get support from Eufy over what you stated. I noticed that the camera goes offline at night, and turns off when I have it set to Solar Power. It seemed logical to me that it's because the solor panel is not drawing energy from the sun. I cannot change it to battery after it goes off, so should I be keeping it on battery power all the time to have it run 24 hours a day? Then the blue light is constantly on and charging if this is the case. Isn't this poor design?

Great review! As I stated the other day, black mounts are in production. I have my eufy cameras connected to HomeKit which reduces battery life by about 50%. I am finding that they last 5 to 6 months, not the one year as advertised. Still, I think I will pass on these. Recharging my batteries 2 to 3 times a year is not really that big a deal…

@roebuddy01 3 жыл бұрын
I believe the difference in charge status when connecting the solar panel is internal power management. For example, apparently the LED charge indicator turns off when connected to a solar panel in order to save power; similarly to save on CPU processing energy, it turns off real-time charge indicator. In its place, that's why EUFY uses the static yellow solar panel icon.

It’s kind of pricey but it does a really good job. Before I got mine my solo cam E40 pro use to drop 4% battery a day. With the panel it sits at 80 steady even on cloudy days. Even if it was to drop, it will only take 1 day of sun light to get it up 30% and that’s cause I only get a few hours of direct sunlight.

Really considering these, as I'm not seeing anywhere near Eufy's claims on battery life for the EufyCam 2 cameras I have, and the system is set up at a remote vacation home that I cannot just drive over and charge all the cameras. But $59 for a solar panel? hmmm... Even with all the cool brackets, etc... I think there may be some less expensive, perhaps even better, aftermarket options. Would love to see pros and cons on aftermarket solar panels for Eufy's cams. I'm seeing some on Amazon for about $35 that are more powerful at 3.5 watts, and claim Eufy compatibility. Thanks!

Thanks for the review. Not sure if anyone has commented this, but isn't the difference in charging that you comment on due to the fact that you are comparing relative charging (%) between 2 different capacities. In absolute terms of mah gained the charge speeds are very similar taking into account variations in sun power from day to day and the fact that charging speeds are not linear over the capacity of a lithium battery (fast charging when levels are low and slowing down when reaching full).

It only allows me to share with one daughter, as soon as another tried to log in it logs me off. Frustrating because I have left to go to work and sure enough there is a wild animal close by which I didn't know because I was logged off without knowing.

Hi LifeHackster, Since the Eufy Camera has a 100 cycles of charging, do you think the Solar Panel charging, which would happen constantly or at least once a day, will it decrease the life of the rechargeable battery? Just curious before investing in a few of these. Thanks.
@hornwijaya5033 3 жыл бұрын
Ok, after researching a bit, I found this few pieces of info which might be useful for curious techie like me. :) Eufy is using Li-ion batteries (same as Tesla and Apple) which do not have a charge memory (like NiCad), ergo deep-discharge cycles are not required. It's better for the batteries to use partial discharge cycles. So that answers my question. Full-cycle = from 100 to 0. For other general information: Li-Ion batteries deteriorate over time, whether used or not. So a spare battery of the same batch won't last much longer than the one in use (better get higher capacity one for use, instead of get smaller with spare). So if you are buying Li-ion batteries, make sure you buy the latest manufacturing date. Solar Panel for Eufy cameras, here I come. .... I hope the info is useful for any batteries enthusiast.

There is no option for the Eufy cameras to record 24/7. It will only record when it detects motion. That is cool that you are able to get that battery life on your cameras... my Eufy cam E got to around a year too...

Would be better if they had bigger one but if u connected 2 panels together & Would charge faster or just get bigger watt panel

Hi did the gutter fitting come with the solar battery or did you have to buy it separately.

Will this work with the S40 model? I have one that is completely dead and I'm hoping this will do the trick

My eufy cam 2c detection stats reset to 0 days using the ring solar panel attach to the eufy 2c charges to full. Does yours do that too?

Hmm... I have to test this out some more... I think this is the reason why there is a manual selection for solar and battery power options.. thanks for the heads up.

Hello mate. I purchased the reolink version that outputs 6v,500mah but it can't charge my camera. I'm still loosing battery percentage. I have checked the panel and it does charge my other devices. Any hints? I can't see the charging icon in the eufy 2c camera.
