This is a great battery operated camera that has a solar panel on the top. One of the things I’ve learned is that where you place the camera is crucial as the more sun the camera gets, the longer the battery will last. If the battery depletes fully, you’ll need to take it down and charge it (which isn’t easy). I would suggest that you turn the camera off through the phone app for a couple of hours every so often, as this will top the battery back up. This also works with Google, so if you have Google Home you can add it to your devices.

Since I left the review below Eufy have reached out to help solve my problems with this camera , I have been so impressed with the time and care Eufy have spent on resolving my problems that I have now added to this review.Thanks to the help from Eufy my camera is now working as it should the quality of this camera was never in doubt the fix is is about the positioning,the height ,the angle ,the settings and trial and error, I really enjoyed getting this right , so I would recommend this camera and Eufy as a company I was surprised that they had read my review and acted on 5 stars all round.Had this for 2wks now ,good points easy to set up and install ,battery life seems to be very good and picture is excellent.It is very good quality and seem very robust, but it misses more events than it gets.I have tried everything in the settings on the app every tips on the internet but it seems this is a common flaw , I’ve had it a different heights ,moved it to different positions,different angles, straight on , to the side ,tilted up tilted down but make no difference ie it can pick up a small sparrow flying past but not a car driving past , does not pick a person until halfway down my driveway regardless of how I set it up, I had a cheat tapo camera which picked up every event so I’m a wee bit disappointed,nevertheless it is a good camera and a deterrent and maybe a future update will fix the flaws so I’m keeping this camera

Good little camera, easy to set up, good picture quality

GOLD STANDARD!Honestly I am blown away by how good this camera is!This was purchased for my nan, who had a ring doorbell, that notified of someone, but didn't record or anything as she wasn't on the subscription.I bought this so she had some security at the front of the house and hoped with the solar battery it would be a case of she would never have to touch it once installed. Well one month on and that is still the case, but we have had great weather, so whether it would need a charge in winter will be seen.Motion detection is great..maybe too great. I set it to humans, but it detected cars still but that wasn't an issue for us.It also detects vibrations I guess, as I will watch a recording and nothing for three seconds and then I will see my nan open the gate and it records for two full minutes or until the person is out of site.Thirdly, which I think is genius, is that you may have a 70 second recording but it also displays a snapshot of the person it captured, so you can very easily see that the notification at 0900 was just the postman on the drive.Blown away. Can't recommend enough. With the free storage and solar panels, it's a no brainer over other brands.

Set up was straight forward and camera is working well. Charging daily in a position where the amount of sunlight it gets is minimal. Only negative point is that the mounting has limited rotation if you want to point it down a side wall that it is attached to. Sound quality and brightness us good. Night vision also good. I would recommend this camera, which is good value for money.

I bought two of these cameras, one one mounted outside in my garden in direct sunlight per the instructions, and one one left indoors pointing out of a window. My outdoor camera been fine until around 11am this morning, with today being a particularly hot day. It was unresponsive no matter what I tried, but my indoor camera was absolutely fine. After searching online one thing seemed to pop up time and time again from people experiencing the same issues: this solar camera overheats in strong, direct sunlight. The same direct sunlight the instructions explicitly tell you to mount the device in, which of course makes perfect sense for a solar device designed to charge, you know, in sunlight.No where in the instructions or guidance is overheating mentioned, nowhere does it say "put it in direct sunlight, but be careful it's not TOO much sunlight or your solar camera will die in daylight hours". What a magnificently ridiculous and ironic oversight in design. I have to say, it's a terrible shame because until this happened I was quite pleased with both cameras, they otherwise function exactly as intended. If you're keeping them indoors you might be fine, otherwise let's hope for a more typically British summer?In short, these are solar cameras that hate the sun. What a design!

Great camera. I now have 2 to go with my 4 other Eufy cameras. Easy to set up and only the power of our glorious sun to keep them going.Don't be paying more than 50 quid for it in 2025. Bought my first for 68 and my second 45. The twin pack is usually around 99.

Camera was very easy to set up and link up with app. The battery and solar panel make it extremely convenient to position the camera in almost any location. I found the wifi range was very good with ability to receive pictures from over 40 feet away. The price point is also a keen aspect of this purchase very good for budget, the camera is easy to set up and receive notification on your mobiles. With ability to zoom the functions and setting easy to navigate. Overall a good reliable product, with good support and backup from the manufacturer.
