I have one of these above my garage on my house and love it. I’m going to replace the remaining three cameras with this model. The only defect was the mounting bracket it came with. I live in a hurricane prone area so I bought Arlo medal bracelets so the cameras doesn’t move.
I have Eufy cameras, two of them. don't have solar panels, but I notice that eufy is selling a solar panel to attach to cameras to make them solar powered. Love the videos.
Is it a concern that the internal battery in this camera is NOT replaceable? It only has so many cycles before it goes bad...just wondering if this would be a factor? Also, does it have a way to have the app on your PC? Can you view all camera live feeds at once on a single screen?
I had one die this month. It would have been 2 years old in October. That's some expensive hours of use. I still have another one running, but neither one of the 2 cameras have streamed live once I get notifications for over a year. I love the clarity, features, & ease of use, but not sure if they're actually as good as I thought when I purchased them.
Great video. I have been looking around for security cameras. I think I’m going with this one but I do have one question. I have an iPhone and a iPad can I have the app running on both iPhone and iPad???
Nothing special, just install the app and use the same login. The other way you can do it is setup multiple accounts and share the cameras with those accounts. This way is nice if you only want to give people access to some of your stuff, but not all of it.
Thank you, excellent review . question: can I turn on/off wifi to use it as a standalone camera without connection to the network? (of course i know the app wont work without connectivity) Is there a user interface in the camera menu or is it only configurable via the app? how do I download the hours long recording to my laptop? Only via wifi?
Yes, you can. I've had my internet go down and this continued to function and record. I could later go through the events in the app once wifi was restored.
This might be a stupid question but do you need a homebase for this camera? I just bought two eufy indoor 362K pan and tilt cameras, they are both crystal clear and there is never any lag in pulling up video. I actually put one of the indoor cameras outside on my back porch underneath my flat screen on a table which is shaded. This thing is crystal clear and even when you zoom in which amazes me, no loss of resolution. It is the perfect way for me to check my entire yard and on my dog when I leave him alone outside. I just purchased this particular camera for above my garage on my driveway in front yard. I would assume the resolution is equal . Nice review
I definitely agree on those 360 cameras, I have one of them in my garage right now. Awesome I’ll cameras. The solo cameras do not require any sort of a base station, they hook to your net work the same way the 360 camera to. Thanks for the kind words!
The S40 is not compatible with Homebase. On the upside that's one less device you need to purchase and connect. On the downside all recordings are stored on the camera, so playback is slower, and if someone steals the camera you're SOL for finding who did it. 😕
What are the options available out there to prevent an S40 from being easily unscrewed and stolen? I have one in the front of my properly and I am concerned about it being stolen. I searched for options, but only found chains and brackets for other cameras, not the S40.
Its screws in, so kinda hard to rip out, also use locktight on the thread that screws the camera on. Extremely hard to get off, if near impossible for the common thief.
Your Internet and Cellular Service is going to determine how fast you receive the notification on your iPhone. That doesn’t mean the device did not capture the notification fast and saved it locally. Check you camera’s storage to see when it wrote to the drive.
Did it require a strong wifi signal, with relation to distance. I would like to set one up around 50 ft away, and also thru one wall. Thanks, great video!
I set mine up and notice it had the solar charging amount and if it was weak or not and how much solar it received, but now the app has removed that I wonder why?
Debating on buying this 🤔. Mounting it on gutter north side of my home to cover front door and sidewalk. Concerned about battery life in winter and snow covering the solar panel. Any issues or suggestions pertaining to the battery longevity? No desire to get on a ladder when it's -20F outside 🙄
Where I live I don’t have to deal with snow, but I definitely think snow buildup would be an issue. If you had an area where maybe you could dust the snow off with a broom, or something else long enough that you could brush off the solar panel I think he would be OK.
thanks for a useful review! one question: does the camera Eufy Solocam S40 - Solar 2k provide a continuous recording including voice, so that I can record from 12:00 till 18:00 for example. I need a camera to record my neighbor's bullying behavior
These won’t do continuous recordings, it runs the batteries down to quickly. For something that is continuous recording you’re going to want to look at a wired camera.
If you don’t have direct sun on the s40 for long enough , are you able to plug the solar panel kit into the micro charge slot on back of camera to position the panel better to charge ? Has anyone tried this to see if it works ?
Problem is that it's in their "Solo" line where the video is stored within the device instead of on the Home base 2 so if taken, the stored video is taken as well unless you have the cloud subscription. That and the mount allows you to remove the camera without any tools at all, as it's more like the mounting screw of a camera tripod with a thumb wheel. You're better off with one of the cameras that require the home base 2 and just buy the external solar panel that can be mounted nearby.
The nice part about this one is that it’s solar. You can put it up high enough that it’s not easily accessible by thieves Because you won’t have to take it down to recharge it.
@@DoItYourselfDad The higher you mount it, the less likely you are of capturing a usable face shot or license plate shot. You have to expect the unit may be damaged or taken. I'm just saying that Eufy does have external cameras that store the video on the Home base 2 and they have an external solar panel option for them. It would be nice to have the panels as part of the camera if nothing else but for the price but until they have a similar unit that can operate with the home base 2, I don't see this as an advantage.
I don’t disagree, I’ve got 5 cameras hooked to their base station. I suppose it also comes down to the intended use. I have another solo monitoring my koi pond, birds and raccoons keep going after my fish. It’s out of range of the base but not my wifi repeaters. Theft of that camera isn’t an issue.
Just now found these videos. Have they fixed anything with their chime/alarm sound on the basepanel? Want to buy the eufy security system and add some cameras but if they siren goes off quickly i'm not sure there is a point. Can the solar powered cameras make a siren when it goes off as well? Any kind of motion/audio alert outside from the camera when it detects motion? Thanks for your help!
They have added an external "siren", which is okay, but I wish it was louder. You can also use the cameras as sirens, and yes, you can can use the cameras as triggers as well.
@@DoItYourselfDadthank you! Have you found any better system so far or would you still overall recommend eufy? We are moving shortly so haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
Anyone knowing whether recordings could be stored on a local Synology box ?? I need remote access to the data as it's for a vacation house, and the Internet connection is pretty bad, retrieving some shots is OK, but no video...
Have you tried this camera on your front porch? I’ve been to the product website and it mentioned about needing 2 hours of direct sunlight. I have a covered front porch and I’m not sure if the camera would ever get direct sunlight.
I would recommend getting the Eufy E40. Its the same camera, but doesn't have the panel, but the batteries will last 6 months before recharging. Ive got one of them out over my Koi pond and Ive been really happy with it. (It's also cheaper). Check it out here: amzn.to/3kwGIC4
Howbout the floodlight and alarm and audio? I want these bad, because I live in 3th world with poweroutages and thats usually when ciriminals appear. This would be perfect coz theyre stand alone. Its too expensive for me now coz I need like at least 10 to cover every corner and than cover those corners again. I know im demanding but I want a camera that keeps an eye on my camera oz they cost 200bucks and are easy to thief. I.also have 2 level high house is the camera good enough for.15ft hight?
Hi I installed 3 EufyCam 2 Pro inside my home and the Home Alarm Kit but I have just bought one Eufy SoloCam S40 and I installed outdoor but I realize that if I set up the alarm out of my home I can't add the new Solo CamS40 I have to set up independent of the Home Alarm, is there any way to set up the Solo Cam with the Home alarm kit? thanks
I was excited to pre-order several of these S40 cameras. Put one up last weekend, it worked fine for the first day then started dropping offline. Battery is fully charged and the camera is located less than 20' from my router. All other older model Eufy cameras remain online and functional. Definitely an issue with the S40. From a technical perspective these new cameras are great. Fantastic night vision, video quality (when they work), etc. Hopefully they'll fix the connectivity bugs with a firmware update. 😢
@@USNEM I don't know, but given these cameras are designed with a solar panel on the top that is specifically intended to be mounted in direct sunlight, they should have pretty robust internal temperature controls. Be a pretty funny design flaw if the reason they are all failing is because they are getting too hot. 😑
I read a review elsewhere about the same drop out. The guy eventually came to find out - with the help of Eufy tech support - that you can’t have any spaces in your WiFi password. Once he changed the password (and I assume made it all one word), the cam connected just fine.
@@alex_darsen doesn't help for me. I don't have any spaces. S40 and L40 cams still randomly drop, even on the latest firmware. Older model cams work fine. This is a half-baked system, definitely not professional quality. 😿
It is pricey, if you’re looking for a more affordable camera check out my videos on the Wyze cameras. Both the Wyze v3 and the wyze cam outdoor are good choices at a lower price point. You can also add a Floodlight attachment to the Wyze V3
Thanks again, great review. Uncertain though where the footage is stored - is it directly on th camera? This seems risky for home security cameras? What happens if it is stolen while we are out of the house? Can the thief theoretically reset it and erase the footage? One thing that is missing from many reviews I see is information about what happens in a blackout or internet dropout. Off to do some googling now. Thanks again. edit: oops it is solar powered so I guess a power outage wouldn't be an issue :) the questions about internet dropout remains
Yes, it is stored on the camera. If you are looking for something that stores somewhere else check out the other eufy cameras that come with a home base station. I've got several of them and they are great.
@@DoItYourselfDad yes I call eufy I hooked my wife's phone to the solo cam directly instead of adding it thru her family and guess , so I had to re-add it to my phone then go into my friends and guest and add it to her phone that way now it works fine that was my screw up. ( I don't read the instruction manuals 😂 ) thanks for your reply you have good videos!!!
@@DoItYourselfDad it was my screw up I added my wife So I thought but I actually put her as the main account which screwed it up & it dropped me off, but I fixed it later that evening when I got home
@4:50, After breaking his arm, he’s working hard to mess with his eyesight (God forbid, no eye protection)...what a legend. This is how you give your health insurance provider the middle finger..
Thanks for the review. I'm wondering about the max length of the clip. In your video the Optimum Surveillance mode can record up to 60s, can it be made longer via Customize Recording option? I have a Eufy 1 camera and the problem is it can only record up to 60s, so if the event lasts longer, there is a cooldown period and the camera doesn't record the whole thing. Thanks in advance.
wait for eufy to release a base station for their newer cameras and that'll be taken care of. same problem with the earlier cams and then they made the base station. it's a problem with having to get approval from apple. so eufy has the choice of releasing to everyone except apple about a year earlier or wait for apple approval and this wouldn't be released yet
@@metalmini it could very well be just needing approval from apple to integrate their new cameras into the apple eco-system so I wouldn't doubt that it would be part of a new software update. however long that takes though I'm sure the technology will be advanced enough that a new homebase will be introduced as well
With the solar there’s no need to take them down to charge, so there’s no need to mount these in a place where they are easily accessible. They can be mounted higher than they can be easily reached and stolen.
The point of the solar is to keep the camera charged. The e40s don’t have solar and they need to be charged periodically, these you’ll never have to take down to charge….. also Eufy camera store all your footage locally, not on the cloud like other brands cameras, so if your internet goes down the camera will continue to record.

Nice can this camera be set up with multiple users
Yes, you can either allow multiple people to sign into the same account, or you can have each user set up their own accounts and share access.
@@DoItYourselfDad thanks good to know. 👍🏼
You mentioned that you could record to the cloud? How does this work> i.e. can you record to a cloud storage such as your iCloud location?
When memory is depleted, is deletion of data required to enable resumption of recording, or does it loop?
It loops, it starts to delete the oldest footage saved.

wait for eufy to release a base station for their newer cameras and that'll be taken care of. same problem with the earlier cams and then they made the base station. it's a problem with having to get approval from apple. so eufy has the choice of releasing to everyone except apple about a year earlier or wait for apple approval and this wouldn't be released yet
@@brandonliwanag136 thats great and all, but i already have a homebase… So i think its not the smartest move from Eufy for excisting customers.
@@metalmini it could very well be just needing approval from apple to integrate their new cameras into the apple eco-system so I wouldn't doubt that it would be part of a new software update. however long that takes though I'm sure the technology will be advanced enough that a new homebase will be introduced as well
WiFi Network Name is Hal. LOL
Glad you noticed!
Glad you noticed… Dave
Useless until they add Homebase2 integration
The point of these seem to by that they don’t require then base station.
@@DoItYourselfDad then they can just steal them and you lose all footage, wonderful!
With the solar there’s no need to take them down to charge, so there’s no need to mount these in a place where they are easily accessible. They can be mounted higher than they can be easily reached and stolen.
Useless camera, don't buy please. Go for s 330, it's the one working well.
The solar is useless..... unless your WiFi stays on....
The point of the solar is to keep the camera charged. The e40s don’t have solar and they need to be charged periodically, these you’ll never have to take down to charge….. also Eufy camera store all your footage locally, not on the cloud like other brands cameras, so if your internet goes down the camera will continue to record.
Omg .........Don't be ? Fooled ,,,,,,, Not A Joke.......Help I want a Security Eufy Camera System Working on My Pc. Windows 10 11 Or Even Windows 7.......... Not A Phone ..Nor Tablet ....... No i want it on my Laptop or Pc... NOT A MAC ,,,,,,,, .Help ☺☺
I would suggest trying running bluestacks on your PC and then loading the android app on blueatacks. I haven’t tried it but it should work.
Torched your rotory cuff I see.
