Wow, just yesterday, I was on Eufy's website looking at their cameras. I remembered your previous video on their product, and now I'm ready to purchase for a house I'll be moving into in October. I'll go back and look again today. I really like their products. I wish the 120° was more. I was also a little leary with customer service complaints, but I will check them out again today. I'm looking to get 5 cameras to cover my house, workshop & property. The solar would work for all but 1 side of the house. That side has 3 very large trees that keep it in the shade all day. Their products are #1 on my list. Thank you for this great review.
Great review Top Homeowner! I want to be as stealth as possible that it's a camera, and I am wondering if the unit would still function if you covered up the flashing blue light? Maybe a tiny piece of black weatherproof tape cut just so it only covered that dang blinking light?
Do you know if you can set it to human only detection, during a particular period of the day? E.g. Human Only detection during 10pm-5am? My TP-Tapo device will detect humans throughout the day, but I can set to be notified only during certain times as I don't want to be notified 100 times a day on my busy street.
We are shopping for new security cameras. I watched your video on the solar light and I just need some help deciding what is the best option for outdoor, plenty of sun year-round to surround our home with video and lights. Would this light work best for that or should I look at some of the eufy cameras???? Help please
This is a good solution. eufy makes some other solar powered cameras, but they aren't really designed to add extra light to an area as well. I also have the S40
I saw another video where it started recording at about 30’/35’ on a clear sunny day. A point that this dude made that isn’t jiving with what other reviewers said is that the wall mount IS NOT yet compatible with the HomeBase, and will remain that way until November. It’s a minor issue in my opinion, nothing an update couldn’t remedy, but still an issue nonetheless. It wouldn’t stop me from buying. But what would stop me from buying is the lag between camera trigger and cellphone notification… it was 13 seconds. That’s super slow, even by WiFi cameras standards. Eufy is notorious slow to begin with, but that’s the price you pay for a no subscription, non-cloud based, WiFi camera system. Again, I’ve accepted that fact. But would I put a slower wall mount style Eufy on my garage in lieu of a quicker, regular style Eufy in the name of aesthetics? Probably not.

The combination of light and camera is so great. This is perfect for garage.

Thank you for this great review.
You bet!
8:55 "24 by 7" lol
4:48 I noticed that the area around your garage is stone. Did you also screw the mount into the stone or did you use a screwless method like adhesive?
Thanks for the great review! Very informative!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video!
Could you tell me how many feet in front of the camera does it trigger the light and the camera ? Thank you. Excellent information video💖🙏🙂👍
can this solar light be connected to home base 3 directly and not on wifi?

Figured it out, you can turn off the blue LED in settings, way to go Eufy!
How did you get the color temperature of the unit? I don’t see it posted on the Eufy website.
I believe it was on the spec sheet they sent me
Great review. Is there a cloud option available for this device?
Yes, eufy offers a cloud recording service

I believe it's only an on or off setting

Does it work with the homebase? Amazon reviewers say no.
Not yet, it's on the roadmap for this month but their dates tend to slip
Are you sure its compatible with the homebase 3?
I can't find anything on their website that says so.
It looks like being able to use storage is planned for November and other features are TBD: share.eufylife.com/v1/shopping/s/g/IGg0-Gvtg
How far does this detect?
