Aqara Camera G100 vs Eufy SoloCam S230

The Eufy SoloCam S230 is the better overall camera, with a higher owner rating, a solar-charged wire-free design and IP67 weatherproofing plus customizable motion zones. The Aqara Camera G100 is the more affordable option and adds more alert types, privacy zones and native HomeKit, making it a solid value alternative.

Power and mounting are the key difference. The Eufy SoloCam S230 is wire-free with an integrated solar panel that keeps the battery charged year-round, so it goes anywhere, while the Aqara Camera G100 is wired but cheaper and adds native HomeKit with a broader alert set.

The Eufy SoloCam S230 has a built-in solar panel that tops up its rechargeable battery, so in a reasonably sunny spot it can run without ever plugging in. The Aqara Camera G100 has no battery or solar and must be connected to power via its USB-C lead.

The Eufy SoloCam S230 is the more rugged, rated IP67 against the Aqara Camera G100's IP65, giving it stronger dust and water resistance. Both are fine outdoors, but the Eufy is better suited to harsher, fully exposed locations.

Buy the Aqara Camera G100 if you want an affordable HomeKit camera with 2K video, color night vision, privacy zones and a wide alert set, and you have power at the mounting spot. It is the value pick for Apple-centric homes that do not need solar power.

Buy the Eufy SoloCam S230 if you want a higher-rated, fully wireless camera that charges from the sun and mounts far from any outlet, with rugged IP67 protection and customizable motion zones. It suits sunny outdoor locations where a cable is impractical.
