I purchased the updated 2K version (Model E40) of the cameras that you have and it is arriving tomorrow. I also have 5 Arlo Pro cameras that I have had for a number of years. They have worked well for me and I have had no issues with them, however I got an email from Arlo a few days ago stating that my free cloud storage will be ending. In order to continue getting cloud storage I will have to pay for subscriptions for my 5 Arlo cameras, which I refuse to do. Without cloud storage you must remove the USB drive from the Arlo base station and plug the usb drive into your computer to view your footage. I check my video clips every morning and I am I'm not going to go through all of that to see my video clips each day.
All of the video that I have watched on Eufy cameras are very positive. Screw Arlo. IMO they are overpriced for what you get.
I am looking forward to getting my Eufy 2K stand alone camera (Model E40). I paid $79.99 (1/6/23) for the 2K version on Amazon, which IMO is extremely cheap for an outdoor 2K camera.
Thanks for posting your video.
I bought two of these eufy solo e20 cams in November 2021 and set each up...one for the front of the house, one for the back. They each worked wonderfully until May, 2022. It was odd, but within a couple weeks of each other, both cameras died.
The cause of death? Not sure, but they each started refusing to connect or stay connected to the network. I tried everything and even walked through troubleshooting with Eufy. This happened to both cameras within a few weeks of each other and I immediately went through the steps of trying to fix each when it happened. That means I dealt with all of this twice.
Anyway, the end result for each situation was Eufy sending replacement cameras because I was still under the 1 year warranty.
So...May/June 2022, I have two new eufy cameras back up and operating great. I was happy with Eufy support. They're great and seemed to stand by their product. No hassle on the replacement process.
Now, we are in April 2023. Guess what happened? One of the cameras is doing exactly what happened to the original cameras....refusing to connect to the network. It's out of the blue, too. It was working fine and it was time to charge it so I put it on the charger and got the notification that charging was done. Suddenly it won't connect. It won't even beep if you try to go through the steps to uninstall the camera altogether and reinstall. I can't even factory reset it. I tried going through the steps with Eufy customer service to make sure I wasn't losing my mind. Sure enough I was doing it right. The camera has just decided it's not going to work anymore.
I asked Eufy if these cameras are intended to be disposable, and they assured me they are not, however I find the evidence to suggest otherwise. This is now three cameras which have died when they are less than a year old.
I am no longer under the 1 year warranty which only applies to the original purchase date. Eufy does not warranty the product to last a year. They promise to replace faulty products that die within a year of the original purchase. That's a big difference, and to be fair, that's industry standard as far as warranty practices go.
However, what the heck, Eufy? The evidence shows that your products are meant disposable cameras that are thrown away and replaced once you use for 6 months to a year. At least the Eufy solocam e20 is.
Let's see how much longer the back yard camera lasts. If I'm correct, it won't last more than a few more months.
Anyone have suggestions on a camera brand without a subscription they would recommend?
I had the same problem with arlo and only had them for 3 years when they stopped working !!! Lost faith in them right away. I moved to eufy and super happy.
Hello Sir, thank you so much for video .. i appreciate you 🙂. all this info I need right here
Thanks for watching! Glad I could help.
Excellent video...need info on using solar charging panel hook up on the back of camera...on using waterproof gasket. Thank you.
I'm thinking about getting the solar panel for my high traffic area, I'll definitely review it if I do. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the upload. Very informative. Just bought one of these for $70 from Amazon using their coupons, my only concern was that I just found out there's no 24/7 recording.
@whatHavU what do you mean there’s no 24/7 recording? I’ve heard camera is loop recording all the time
Wyze cameras 20-30$ full features and last years
I need these at a remote property, but the Solo Cam wants to connect to some sort of 'home base' ..is there a workaround? Thanks. Jim
Is a home base required to use this camera ? I am unabke t get mine connected
During setup it should give you the option to connect to a router or a home base. Recently one of mine dropped network connection and refused to re-connect, I haven't tried contacting customer service about it yet but it is almost 3 years old. I was looking for an excuse to try one of the solo cams with the built in solar panel anyway....
You should have gone full slapstick and fell down.
