Data from Amazon and official Aqara and Eufy sites.

2026 verdict

In the outdoor camera space, the Eufy SoloCam S230 comes out on top over the Aqara Camera E1, backed by a higher rating, weather resistance, solar charging, color night vision and a wider set of alert features. The Aqara Camera E1 pushes back with a lower price tag and support for more connectivity options, so it is not without merit for shoppers on a tight budget or committed to a particular smart home platform. Where the Eufy SoloCam S230 pulls ahead is in nearly every feature that matters outdoors: a spotlight, color night vision after dark, RTSP streaming, solar-assisted power and more configurable motion alerts. Choose the Eufy SoloCam S230 if outdoor picture quality and weatherproofing are the priority, and lean on the Aqara Camera E1 if the lowest price and broader connectivity matter more than a solar panel and color night vision.
