Posting my comment with the required tag keeps getting auto deleted by youtube’s filters. Please accept this as my contest entry. I’d love one of those cameras for my backyard to keep an eye on animals running around back there. !eufysecurity

[@LifeHackster]

Thanks for letting me know..I’ll be updating the rules..

[@KevinYiHeWu]

eufysecurity - I like to receive an S40 due to the solar panel feature and I don't need to manually bring it down and charge it. Set it and leave it and no wires to deal with.

[@aceyboogie7172]

“eufysecurity” - I’d love to try out the s40 to compare it against the Wyze, Ring, Nest, Blink, and Arlo cameras that I already own. If I would be lucky enough to win the giveaway, I would replace the Wyze v2 that I have in my patio. Thank you LifeHackster and Eufy for the giveaway.

[@nickkotch4236]

Eufysecurity - Just getting into setting up home security system and this would be a great first camera and allow for very flexible placement.

[@rizwansyed4704]

My business got broken into and thieves stole all my tools, power equipment, and components. No insurance coverage because they charge way too much. Unfortunately I have had the sad realization that nowhere in my city is safe any longer when these people work with impunity and police are entirely useless for anything except speed and tint tickets. I feel like I'm taking the power back into my own hands and this video helped me decide on what system and brand of camera to get that offers instant notifications, good accuracy, and a way for me to discourage/scare off unwanted guests all from my home. Thank you for this informative video.

[@myutube6422]

Because of your video, I bought 5 of these, they are working great except one died in about 6 months. Eufy instantly replaced it and paid for the return. The bottom line is excellent customer service. With the one that monitors my street mailbox, the quality was so good that the cops arrested them in 2 days.

[@moialder252]

The review many have been waiting for. All in one with built in solar for a clean sleek product. Confirming recording while not connected to wifi is huge. Honestly with memory storage being so cheap and small, they couldve easily included bigger or make it expandable memory and possibly beat out ALL others in the industry with wireless/battery powered cams for 24/7 recording in the most convenient and least maintenance way. I could see them holding it back for a future or pro version.

[@LifeHackster]

Thanks.

Great idea EUFYSECURITY, I set our house up with an eufycam 2C system. Sooo easy to to set up. Have bought more cameras to add on. Was easy to convince Mum to get a system also. Now my Father-in-law wants to replace ARLO with EFUY. No doubt me showing them my new SOLOCAM S40s will have them racing to the shops. Thanks for keeping us safe.

I’ve been waiting for this review from the best reviewer on the Internet. Lifehackster!

[@LifeHackster]

I appreciate it. Thanks.

[@reubeiledison2368]

eufysecurity - These cameras will be installed around my house - 1) Monitor driveway and garage 2) Backyard 3) Front yard. I'd like to get the S40 as its an integrated camera with all the best features, its got solar panel, its got flood light, its got a fantastic 2K camera and a fantastic software to enable these features; how could anyone chose something else. Thank you Eufy for release the S40, this shows you've listened to customer reviews and have updated accordingly. Having the solar panel and flood light integrated gives a clean look and gives the best solution; and this is the reason why I will be getting this for my home, unless I am chosen as the winner. Thank you LifeHackster for this in-depth review, this definitely is very helpful.

[@botanicalstig]

Awesome! Put in a wired outdoor cam about three weeks ago and I'm really loving it! Going to put one of these on the opposite corner where I can't reach a light for power.

[@LifeHackster]

Thanks.

[@paulcarlin5181]

How is this camera working for you a year later. I bought the Solar 2k camera and so far so good, but wondering about its durability. Ring can't compete with the video quality but man are those some durable cameras.

Looks like a winner from Eufy with a lot of upside. Finally a camera with good audio quality. Thanks for an excellent review.

[@LifeHackster]

Very welcome

[@steveko8820]

eufysecurity - I will be using this to replace one of my three Arlo Pro 3 cameras. Arlo’s 3-month trial subscription will expire in a few weeks, and I’m not looking forward to paying $9.99/month for full functionality. Also, the batteries need to be charged every 2 months or so. The S40 looks like a worthy replacement. No monthly fees and no need to ever recharge. Perfect!

[@gracesuarez3154]

Excellent review. You really put it through its paces. I've had mine for a couple of weeks and it has spotted a bear and a fox. The siren scared the fox but the bear only looked slightly amused. It's a great camera.

[@smokesgtp]

Lol

[@mocobb4791]

I originally thought Nest would be legitimate competition to Ring, but with Eufy's creativity, I think once they work out some kinks, they will be the competition Ring really has to worry about. This is the second camera from Eufy that you've reviewed that I would consider purchasing.

[@prevaloir5362]

I knew this the second I found out it was made by Anker. Anker makes good products and obviously unique. Happy I went with Eufy for my home.

[@JOSHIC]

I got tired of paying a subscription for my ring cameras and have been looking for an alternative without a sub. I think I found what I’m looking for now! Ty

[@stuartcotton2363]

This video is very comprehensive and solved my issue where the Floodlight wouldn't come on. These days you get no paper instructions and you basically have to work the App out for yourself. Customer Support in Australia is virtually non existent. The FAQ section is no real help either. Why would the Spotlight not come on when you set Black and White when the Spotlight is set to ON? In the section showing the Diagram of the Camera they show everything but don't even mention the Spotlight as if it doesn't exist. The manual button that you pointed out is the first time I have see the Spotlight working. It takes people like you to explain how things work. Why can't Eufy produce a video? Anyway, keep up the good work. For this reason I subscribed to your Channel.

[@bobbydejesus8351]

I like to have SoloCam S40 for my front door porch eave facing the sun. The porch is on the ground level and will give me a signal at night in my 3rd level bedroom. What I love most is the camera’s endless solar power and an 8gb internal storage. These are the very utmost quality features I need and alit of users will find unequaled by other brands.

[@brianlee1240]

Eufysecurity: I would love to have this Eufy SoloCam that you can install wirelessly and NEVER have to charge again as it runs on Solar. Well done Eufy!

[@clellbritt3434]

I still don't understand why ALL their cameras can't be compatible with the home base. Great review.

[@moialder252]

im wondering keeping it standalone within the unit allows to push battery life as power needed to transfer big amount of data over wifi is much greater than simply writing to the local storage built into the unit.

[@LifeHackster]

I guess they are making a different segment on their product line and having customers choose. I wish there is more product integration in the app... like only 1 mode and a customer can select which cameras need to be active in a given mode.

[@alexisappecorina7107]

Same here, I would need a local storage for this camera.

[@mele2259]

I emailed eufy and they said all solo cams will be compatible with homebase by end of 2021 .

[@imDavidNguyen]

“Eufysecurity” with a baby on the way, would love a camera to be able to protect my family! The thing I really like about this camera is no need to recharge it, as it is solar! Keep up the great reviews!

[@billsemmendinger2592]

“eufysecurity” Good video. I like the way you test the products, more real life. I could use a new security camera, I'm 72 and I can't climb and crawl around to run wires like i used to. I have the prefect place by my front door that would alert me when someone is there. Especially when I'm at the back of the house and I don't hear them knock. I currently have a wyze pan cam in my front window but it goes off with alerts at the slights breeze even with human detection enabled and the sensitivity turned down.

eufysecurity - I am a first time homeowner and have been researching the best outdoor camera for my home. I already have the eufy 2K battery doorbell and does not believe in paying monthly subscriptions. I have a second floor balcony, gets a good amount of sunlight and a jogging path behind my backyard. This would would be the ideal camera for my backyard security!

[@TheWayWeSawIt]

Thank you very much for your review. We really appreciate your work. We are happy with Eufy and will buy two of these new cameras to see how they work. We have some spots in the house where they would fit perfectly.

[@drrossfpv776]

Just found out about Eufy cameras, and I'm very impressed with them. With any camera manufacturer, you're mostly limited by the software and apps you are required to use, and eufysecurity seems to have the best app available! I would use this camera at the back of my property, where running power to would be difficult. Additionally, being able to record without an internet connection means I'd love to try taking it camping to see if any animals come into the campsite while I'm sleeping! Thanks for the giveaway!

[@uvafan940]

I bought 3 of these. A good 2K picture, with good features, but they go offline for no reason (only having had them a week). I have a cloud of Unifi Pro access points throughout my home, so Excellent wifi for their locations. Have to get a ladder everytime to hit the sync button. Just not a good solution for a security camera, especially one in which will be mounted high up in a lot of situations.

[@CompTechMike]

Everyone is having this problem. 😞

[@uvafan940]

I am sure. No one should trust Eufy's so called "reviews" either. I submitted basically the same thing I wrote above, about a week ago, in their product review section and it was not posted. Only a bunch of raving reviews

[@patrick8367]

Eufysecurity. I would like this outside my house and I have been eyeing for a solar power camera for a long time. Save the hassle from recharging!

[@bigjim1488]

Bit of a game changer that it records with no Wifi. A lot of cameras as you know will not record without Wifi. Pretty cool feature. Also helps to know that it will also record if you lose power.

[@moialder252]

yup, i said the same, this camera is basically going to be as good as it gets before going to straight up POE wired cameras. Having a unit be wireless/battery operated yet regenerating with built in solar means less interaction/maintenance from user to have to pull it down/recharge/etc.

[@LifeHackster]

Yes... and I'll probably make a video sometime in the future where you can use this and monitor an area off the grid like a trail cam and just be within the camera's range with your phone that has a hospot and you will be able to retrieve the recorded footage... now I have to test this still though... we will see.

[@BretSmith]

@@LifeHackster does the e40 record without wifi?

[@bluejayway1418]

If no Wi-Fi how does it communicate w phone? Range?

[@ThomasMaidonis]

@@LifeHackster thank you for another great review. The ability to record without a WiFi connection would be a game changer. I've reached out to eufy and they've confirmed that it's possible to operate it with a mobile hotspot instead of a WiFi network but the camera needs to be connected to either a Wi-Fi or a mobile hotspot all the time in order to record. If the camera loses connection to WiFi (or mobile hotspot), it stops being triggered by the PIR sensor and it stops recording to the built-in SD card. Can you confirm this? That would be extremely helpful!

[@bryanswain1595]

eufysecurity: Seems like a great option for locations that do not have power available nearby! For me, that would be on the side of my garage, where I would use it to monitor activity in the driveway.

[@DominicBenoit]

I luv ur reviews on these products. I like this one because of the solar and color night vision. Only 2 issues i saw was motion detection is slower then ring and alexa takes a lil bit long to show up on the echo show. I think this is a awesome camera to have. You always do a great review on the products and give the perfect info that future customers will need..great job

[@LifeHackster]

Yes..it is a bit slow in notifications but not that bad. Thank you.

[@DominicBenoit]

@@LifeHackster yeah! Your right. It’s a very nice camera to have either way. The color night vision, the siren and the motion detection for human only is awesome thing to have. Usually you have to pay a lot more for those things

[@FastRedPonyCar]

I’ve had mine for a couple weeks now and it’s just a great cam. No cloud storage sucks though. Hopefully they turn that on and the solar info looks awesome. They need to bring that back. I’d love that info.

Are you not getting the random disconnects like everyone else?

[@FastRedPonyCar]

@@CompTechMike Yeah but they don't seem as frequent as they originally were. I don't really spend extended periods of time viewing live feeds of any of the cameras so for me personally, it's not a big issue. My 2K indoor cams and my Wyze V2 and V3 cams aren't totally stable either. I have a couple POE Hikvision's and those are 100% stable all the time.

[@CompTechMike]

@@FastRedPonyCar Agreed. I set up PoE cameras in all of my office environments. At home I have a 60-year-old house. Much harder to run Ethernet cables, was really hoping these wireless cameras would do the trick. 😢

Definitely want one of those cameras so "eufysecurity". Really need one since there's been a string of car break-ins in our area and my son needs his car to get to his nursing shifts. Whether we win or not, we'll most likely get one since it solves the hassle of hard-wiring a power source or having to recharge every month or so.

[@vincentphan2275]

"eufysecurity" I like this SoloCam S40 because of the clean appeal without having to install a separate solar panel. Eufy is the only company that has this two in one product right now. The saving goes "kill two birds with one stone".

[@paulmiyagishima7655]

I give this camera a "WOW!" 600 lumen integrated light, siren at 100 plus decibels, detection going towards camera is pretty good (we got a full picture of you, not just your head) and I actually like not having a home base for the unit.

You can turn off notifications on a cam by cam basis. So go to settings and adjust to your liking. Their is the option to completely turn off notifications for a cam or you can change your activity zones to find a sweet eufylife experience. Also notifications are typically perk since this is a self monitored system.

Eufysecurity Hello! Thank you for the great video! You have convinced me that I do want this camera system. The reason you should choose me is because one, my son has convinced me to go with your system (he has a previous model) and we've been waiting for this model to come out. Two, I have vaulted ceilings and in my previous home I ran wires which I cannot do here. Three, I've had many security camera systems in the past and I would love to have something as updated as yours! What really intrigues me is no monthly fee! I'm in Arizona so I can also test its solar capabilities and how well it does in the heat. I can provide any feedback you need once I received the cams 🙂 thank you for the opportunity!

eufysecurity - Setting up cameras for new home. I want to set up a camera in the corner, above garage. As the S40 is solar powered, I wouldn't need to do any wiring as it to have direct access to sunlight. I own Anker products but no Eufy products yet. It would be nice to out Eufy's cameras since I need to purchase additional ones.

Great review! I did not see in the settings an option to get alerts for battery levels. I would like to get an alert if battery dips below 30%

[@LifeHackster]

No option yet...

Eufysecurity: I would love to have a camera that you install wirelessly and NEVER have to charge again as it runs on Solar Power/Rechargeable battery. Well done Eufy, this is the best device created since the internet was born!

Me: when can eufy integrate different products together in their system, and improve voice commands? Eufy: I've created a new product that had all hardware integrated together. Ya buying?

eufysecurity : Would like to have this camera set up to cover our back yard/garden to catch the vegetable and fruit thieves we have in addition to the fact we have had a lot of break ins in our area. Thinking of getting the whole house set up with cameras at some point and Eufy looks like a good quality and low cost (no subscriptions) route.

eufysecurity I'd LOVE to receive a solocam S40 because of the brilliance of the built-in solar charger! Brilliant! So, did i win?!?!?!?!?!

[@Blueberryshhake]

eufysecurity: Planning to move to a different city for work that is considered a high crime rate city. I've always lived in a low crime rate area so I have not had any security cames. I've been researching which cameras to get and based off of your reviews, I'm actually planning to get the Eufy 2C Pro and having this S40s would be a nice addition, especially if all the cameras are under the same brand to work more efficiently. What really catches my eye on this camera is the Quality of course and the quality at a far distance, but mainly what I am interested in is the Motion Alert speed. The alert speed seems like a high priority to me and to know you get notified of movement at an earlier speed is a must. The google home features is also a bonus as everything in my home is becoming more smart.

Has anyone installed in your porch where there would be no direct sunlight? How does the battery perform?

[@alexanderherp2328]

Eufysecurity I would like to receive one because I recently got two of the C22 cameras and have fallen in love with them. We have had some recent crime in our neighborhood and feel much safer with the cameras. One side of our house cannot be reached by a wired camera though and it would be perfect for the S40. Good luck everyone and thank you for quality products Eufy!

I watch so many of your videos and like them all. My problem is this is all so new to me that I still don't know what is the best investment. 🤔🤔😪 Thanks dor your information and video quality

[@ScoRpiUs2006]

camera looks exactly what I'm after except i cant find any info on what WIFI frequency it uses, does it use 2.4ghz or 5.8ghz ?

[@LifeHackster]

2.4 only.

[@moialder252]

Can you do a more indepth review on how the battery/built in solar perform? Even just a week of observation should give us an idea of it can really last basically all year.

[@shanew7361]

I agree
