Frequently Asked Questions
Which SoloCam is better, the S220 or the S230?
The Eufy SoloCam S230 is the stronger pick. It has a higher owner rating, a longer 4-month battery life versus 3 months, and adds color night vision and a spotlight. The Eufy SoloCam S220 matches it on 2K video, IP67 weatherproofing, solar charging and free local storage, but lacks those low-light extras.
What is the biggest difference between the two SoloCams?
Low-light performance and longevity. The Eufy SoloCam S230 records color night vision, has a spotlight and lasts about 4 months per charge, while the Eufy SoloCam S220 uses black-and-white night vision, has no spotlight and is rated for roughly 3 months.
Do both cameras avoid a subscription?
Yes. Both the Eufy SoloCam S220 and the Eufy SoloCam S230 record to 8GB of free built-in storage, support RTSP and work standalone. Eufy cloud storage is an optional paid extra on either, not a requirement.
Are the S220 and S230 otherwise similar?
Very. They share 2K video, IP67 weatherproofing, a rechargeable battery with integrated solar charging, person and animal detection, two-way talk, a siren, and support for Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant. The S230 mainly layers on a spotlight, color night vision and longer battery life.
Who should buy the Eufy SoloCam S220?
Budget-focused buyers who want a true wire-free solar camera and can skip the spotlight. It delivers the same 2K image, IP67 build, solar power and free local storage as the S230 for less money.
Who should buy the Eufy SoloCam S230?
Anyone who wants the fuller-featured solar camera. Its color night vision, spotlight and 4-month battery make it the better choice for low-light areas and the most hands-off, set-and-forget install.
