SoloCam E30, 2 Pack, 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.

These are so easy to set up and put into operation. Open the app and follow the on-screen directions. I had all four up within an hour. I like these because the camera moves and follows anything it detects. The hardest part about installing these is how to stow the extra length of cable between the solar collector and the camera. Eufy products are good and reliable.

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, etc Also, 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.

I can't praise these cameras enough! I was so tired of cameras that 1) charge a subscription fee and 2) don't have clear footage. I was studying eufy for awhile before I finally jumped on these. The video footage is so crisp and clear, I wish I had bought sooner! We so far have an E30 cam at our front door and on our back door / shop. The AI tracking is fascinating - my camera tends to pick up people walking down our street, animals moving at night, cars at night. Which I love because we live on a very quiet street, the only people really on it are residents so it gives us peace of mind knowing if anything suspicious is going on, the camera will catch it. The solar power was another huge selling feature. Once we put it up, we don't have to worry about charging it ever again. I have never lost battery life. We angled the panels to where it would always get sun. The app is user friendly, and FREE with purchase. Another huge selling point for me, because I don't understand subscription fees on items we already buy the product for. Big props to eufy for taking care of their customers in that way. Because of it, we will continue to buy more eufy products for our home!

The camera it’s Amazing. It has some flaws but it’s just Amazing! The flaws I see it sometimes I get some false notifications. Besides that the battery life it’s great and this one it’s solar. The speed of the notification sometimes it’s off by a couple of seconds(25 seconds to be exact) but 95% it’s right on. It’s easy to use and set up with the app. I currently have a 128 go micro sd and I can record for weeks. Also with the card record up to 2k. Overall I highly recommend. All my cameras at home are Eufy!
