The best home security is the type that doesn’t require your input or maintenance all the dang time. That’s why I love the Eufy SoloCam S220, which has a built-in solar panel that makes things so much more convenient. And now’s the best time to get one because it’s 50% off on Amazon, bringing it down to just $50 (was $100).
This wireless outdoor security camera needs no wiring or cabling to get started, and it runs on battery power with that built-in solar panel I mentioned before. With just a few hours of sunlight every day, it’ll stay charged up and fully operational. You’ll never have to take it down just to charge it back up. All you have to do is find a place to mount it, screw it on, and connect it to your Wi-Fi network via the app.
The camera itself is pretty darn good, too, with a crisp 2K resolution that offers maximum clarity at all times, complete with infrared LED lights and an ultra-wide aperture for excellent night vision. The camera can also send you notifications telling you when it captures a new car, person, or even pet in front of your house.
And my favorite thing about Eufy cameras is that they’re one-time purchases with no subscription plans needed. It has 8GB of on-board storage, but no slot for a SD/microSD card. If you want even more storage, you’ll need to get the Eufy HomeBase 3 (sold separately), which lets you add up to 16TB of external hard drive or SSD space.
This is an excellent outdoor security camera and the value is insane now that it’s on sale for half off. Get it for $50 while you can!
