Blink Outdoor 2K+ vs Eufy SoloCam S220

The Eufy SoloCam S220, for anyone who wants to avoid a subscription: it stores clips locally, detects people for free, charges from solar and is IP67. The Blink Outdoor 2K+ is the better pick for a shaded spot or an Alexa home already on a Blink plan, thanks to its two year battery and color night vision.

The Eufy SoloCam S220 saves motion events to 8GB inside the camera with no plan. The Blink Outdoor 2K+ needs a Blink subscription for video history and smart alerts, and the Sync Module Core that ships with it has no local storage.

On paper the Blink Outdoor 2K+, rated for up to two years against three months per charge. The Eufy SoloCam S220 has a built-in solar panel, though, so on a wall with a few hours of sun it keeps itself charged.

The Eufy SoloCam S220 does, along with Alexa and Home Assistant. The Blink Outdoor 2K+ works with Alexa and Home Assistant only. Neither supports Apple HomeKit.

Homeowners with a sunny outside wall who want a wire-free 2K camera with local storage, zones and no monthly fees.

Alexa households and renters who want the easiest wire-free camera to install, with a battery that lasts for years, and accept a Blink plan.
