Aqara Camera G100 vs Eufy SoloCam E30

Full Smart Cameras comparison in 2026

Updated August 2026
Data from Amazon and official Aqara and Eufy sites.
2026 verdict
Both of these are budget-friendly outdoor security cameras, but the Aqara Camera G100 pulls ahead as the stronger overall camera, undercutting the Eufy SoloCam E30 on price while adding color night vision, a built-in light, a siren, a privacy zone and a wider alert set. The Eufy SoloCam E30 pushes back with a higher owner rating, solar charging for wire-free placement, and customizable motion zones that the Aqara currently lacks. Where the two line up evenly is 2K video, RTSP streaming and general weatherproofing, so neither camera is a clear step up in image quality. Choose the wired, feature-loaded Aqara Camera G100 if price and built-in extras like the siren and light matter most, and choose the solar-powered Eufy SoloCam E30 if wire-free mounting and a stronger reputation are the priority.
