eufy Security SoloCam S40 Solar-Powered 2K Outdoor Camera

Overview

Solar-powered convenience. Sharper visibility. Security without subscription fees.

Keep watch over the places that matter with the eufy Security SoloCam S40. This standalone outdoor camera combines crisp 2K video, an integrated solar panel, a rechargeable battery, and a motion-activated 600-lumen spotlight in one streamlined design.

Designed for convenient wireless installation, the SoloCam S40 connects to a compatible 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and lets you monitor activity through the eufy Security app. Built-in person detection helps focus alerts on human activity, while local on-device storage eliminates the need for a mandatory monthly cloud subscription.

Key Features

• 2K Video Resolution: Capture detailed outdoor footage for a clearer view of people and activity around your property.

• Integrated Solar Charging: A built-in solar panel helps replenish the rechargeable battery when positioned in adequate direct sunlight.

• Rechargeable Battery Backup: Continues operating on stored battery power when sunlight is unavailable; runtime varies with use and conditions.

• 600-Lumen Motion-Activated Spotlight: Illuminates activity after dark and supports color night vision in suitable lighting conditions.

• Color Night Vision: View nighttime activity in color when the spotlight provides sufficient illumination; advertised visibility reaches approximately 26 ft (8 m).

• Built-In Person Detection: On-device AI helps distinguish people from other motion to reduce unnecessary notifications.

• Local Video Storage: Stores supported recordings on the camera without requiring a paid cloud recording plan.

• Standalone Operation: Does not require a HomeBase 2 for normal operation.

• Voice Assistant Compatibility: Supports compatible Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant functions; Apple HomeKit is not supported.

• Outdoor Installation: Mount on a suitable exterior wall or other secure surface with adequate sunlight and Wi-Fi coverage.

Why This Camera Stands Out

A smarter way to keep an eye on your surroundings.

The SoloCam S40 combines solar charging and battery power in a single camera, reducing the need for frequent manual recharging when the installation site receives sufficient sunlight. Its integrated spotlight provides added visibility after dark, while 2K recording captures more detail than conventional 1080p video.

Unlike systems that require a separate hub or ongoing cloud subscription for basic local recording, the SoloCam S40 is designed to work independently with on-device storage. It's a practical choice for monitoring entryways, driveways, side yards, and other outdoor areas within Wi-Fi range.
