About this deal

When I *think* it's just a connectivity issue, I open the app and try to start a live stream - it starts up almost instantly. In addition, that's also when I start to get a bunch of notifications. The solar panel on top of the SoloCam S40 charges its built-in battery. Providing it gets at least two hours of sunlight per day, there will be no need for you to charge the battery manually. However, if the camera is mounted somewhere that doesn’t see a lot of sunlight, or if the camera is enlisted indoors, Eufy states the battery will last for up to four months (based on five minutes of recording a day) before it needs recharging. Open the app and you’ll see a clear battery level indicator, displayed as a percentage.

Being able to set up a camera and then almost forget that it is there in the first place has been a big perk of the wire-free design, though it is made even better by not having to worry about charging a battery in the first place. I’ve had no problems with keeping the eufy Solar SoloCam S40 where it resides on my patio, and the experience has made other strictly battery-powered offerings feel like half-measures by comparison. I don't think this camera has EVERY "spotted a person" when myself or my girlfriend were in the driveway. My Arlo went off a couple times when I took my trash cans in, but the S40 never peeped.

With 8GB of built-in storage, the eufy SoloCam S40 can hold up to 30 days of video clips – where each clip is 10 seconds long and based on 30 events a day. In terms of the video, the clarity and level of detail captured by the S40 in its recordings is quite impressive. The spotlight can be set to detect motion at night and it is even possible to adjust the brightness to meet the lightning conditions of your area. Camera is losing charge too fast; not getting enough light. After 13 days of use and 271 events detected/recorded, I'm at 85% battery. After not too long, I'm going to have to plug it in. :( Vind je ideale helderheid:pas de helderheid en kleurtemperatuur van de schijnwerper aan op basis van je ruimte. What caught, and then proceeded to keep my attention was the solar-powered design. Not only unique to the eufy lineup, the Solar SoloCam S40 is one of the few models on the market that can draw power from the sun out of the box, at least without plugging in an external panel.

Having control over when and where a camera can record is important, and Eufy offers this through manually selectable modes, such as Home and Away. For each one, you can set whether your camera records and whether or not it sends you notifications. You can also set a schedule if you prefer.Eenvoudig te installeren: het duurt slechts enkele minuten om de houder te installeren met een boormachine en het meegeleverde pakket schroeven. Er zijn geen draden of snoeren benodigd. I've removed/re-added my detection zone a couple of times; doesn't seem to make a difference AND it catches people OUTSIDE of the zone. In fact, it's infuriating that it will "spot a person" on the sidewalk (outside the zone) but NOT myself or anyone else ON the driveway (IN the zone).

At the same time, Eufy has also launched Floodlight Cam 2 Pro – a 360-degree pan and tilt outdoor camera that comes with three LED floodlights that offer 3,000 lumens of light in total. The LEDs can be set to turn on at sunset and off at sunrise automatically, or triggered only when motion is detected, and the color temperature can even be tweaked to represent natural light at various times of the day.Nélkülözhetetlen sütik Ezek elengedhetetlenek a weboldal és funkcióinak működéséhez, amelyek használatáról Ön dönt.

Connecting to the camera for live view or recorded view is usually a second or two but occasionally fails or takes longer. Tap the Play button and you go through to the Live view, so you can see what’s happening in real time. From here, you can turn on the spotlight, and use the clear two-way talk to have a chat with anyone you can see on the feed.

We put the camera through heavy testing in a short period of time for this review, but located it in a position that easily achieved two hours of sunlight a day. The result was that our camera didn’t require charging manually at all during this time. However, battery life will depend on how often motion is detected, how many times the live feed is viewed, if the siren is triggered, and the number of times the two-way microphone and speaker are engaged.
