It's weird that they call it as S220 and S40 at the same time. The main issue I have with this camera is that its motion detection isn't that reliable. I clearly noticed that there were many missed events. Also, the motion detection doesn't work at the edges of the activity zones as expected. I am planning to return it as I already order the E330 set. Even though I have to deal with wires with that, I would like to have 24/7 recordings instead of only recording events when the motion sensor detects something (if it detects something).

I’ve invested in cameras, doorbell and locks from Eufy. The software is buggy and terrible to say the least. Still have nightmares from “THE DOOR FAILED TO LOCK” when it tries to auto lock a door, which is already locked. I still have issues connecting to my solo cam for a year now, but eufy keeps sending me instructions to restart and move the cameras closer to my router. The ring and Arlo cameras in the exact same location operate without any issues, so why can’t the Eufy? Why would I need a camera close to my router? When cameras with solar panels run out of charge, they use the panel to recharge and reconnect after a couple of days. The eufy solocam just dies and needs to be brought down to recharge. I bet they haven’t fixed it with this version of the camera as well.

I am really curious about the Imou Cell Go with panel charging. It looks like a good deal for what seems like a pretty good camera. Anyone used it already ?

Do you need a homebase (hdd) storage when you only buy the cameras? 5:06

I'm trying to find an animal that's been hanging out on my property. Would this be good for that? It usually comes at night.

Is this stopping recording when internet goes down?

I had a bad experience with the eufy video doorbell so won’t be getting this but yes other brands should do this though I think ring has a solar panel you can add and adjust the angle.

Is there an outside camera with an automatic alarm so you don't have to trigger it manually?

Solo cam S220 has many problemes: - worst ever wall mounting set, when you try to tighten the nut near the wall, the screw near the camera opens. Almost imposible for a single person to fix at in the desired angle. Not possile to fix it at 90 degrees from the wall, very important sometimes because you need sun exposure. - web portal acces (for laptop view) not working , at least in my country. I enabled acces from app, it generated a code, but I always got the wrong email or password message. I tried different browswes, not working - once you connect it to the network, it stays connected, even if you turn it off from app. A lot of internet traffic shown in my router from it. It is not possible to turn it off, it has not a physical button. Maybe the chinese guys can hear you if they want to. I have only chinese cams, but you can turn them off , by unplug them. This one has a battery for 1-2 months. Do not trust good reviews, explore another options.

Can I order just the cameras and not the homebase? Will it work the same without the homebase?

Any product review should have a breakdown of pros and cons at the end, otherwise people are left with many unanswered questions.

You can’t mix and match with a ring system, correct?

Can these be easily intergrated into a system with the older Home Base 2?
@LifeHackster Жыл бұрын
I have the HB2 also setup and didn’t appear in selection during setup which I guess it is not compatible and I’m not even sure if Eufy will make it compatible.
