What the differences mean
Resolution
The Eufy SoloCam S220 records 2K, the Blink Outdoor 4 1080p. At the end of a driveway, that is the difference between recognising a visitor and seeing a figure.
Subscription
The Eufy SoloCam S220 stores clips on 8GB inside the camera and detects people for free. The Blink Outdoor 4 needs a Blink plan for person detection and video history, since the bundled Sync Module Core has no local storage.
Power
The Blink Outdoor 4 is rated for up to two years on its battery without any sun. The Eufy SoloCam S220 lasts about three months per charge but recharges itself from its built-in solar panel.
Zones
The Eufy SoloCam S220 has customizable motion zones and privacy zones. The Blink Outdoor 4 has neither, which means more alerts from a busy street in view.
Google Home
The Eufy SoloCam S220 works with Google Home as well as Alexa and Home Assistant. The Blink Outdoor 4 works with Alexa and Home Assistant only.

What owners say
Owners of both start with how easy they were to put up and how little they need to be touched afterwards. Blink Outdoor 4 owners confirm the long battery life in normal use, value the wide view and a system that grows with Blink doorbells and floodlights, and praise person detection for cutting false alerts, once they pay for it; they complain that the Sync Module Core dropped local storage, that the system can lock up after a power blip or firmware update and that there is no on-video timestamp. Eufy SoloCam S220 owners single out free local recording, a 2K image sharp by day and a panel that keeps the battery near full in the sun, and they report recharging in shade or winter and motion detection that needs tuning.
