The eufy SoloCam E30 is a wire-free outdoor security camera with 360° pan and 70° tilt, powered by a 10,000mAh battery and a removable solar panel. It records 2K (2304×1296) video through an f/1.6 lens with a 120° field of view and uses infrared night vision; it has no spotlight. Built-in AI detects people and vehicles and follows them as they move; pet detection and familiar-face recognition become available when it is connected to HomeBase S380. With optimal sunlight, 2 hours of direct sun a day keeps the battery charged. The camera has no built-in storage: it records to a microSD card of up to 128GB (sold separately) with no monthly fee, or to a compatible HomeBase. Without either, you can watch live video but cannot save or play back recordings. It is rated IP65, connects to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only, and does not work with Apple HomeKit. It is a different product from the eufy Indoor Cam E30 and the eufy Floodlight Camera E30.
1. Great for
Yards, driveways, and sheds with no outlet nearby — It runs on a 10,000mAh battery charged by a removable solar panel, so no power cable needs to be run to the mounting spot. With optimal sunlight, 2 hours of direct sun a day keeps it charged.
Covering a wide area from one spot — The camera pans 360° and tilts 70°, follows people and vehicles as they move, and turns to any spot you tap in the eufy app.
Recording locally without a monthly fee — It records to a microSD card of up to 128GB (sold separately), with no subscription needed for local recording.
Adding outdoor coverage to an existing eufy HomeBase — It works with HomeBase S380 (HomeBase 3) and HomeBase 2. With HomeBase S380, it adds familiar-face recognition and pet detection, and storage expandable to 16TB (hard drive sold separately).
Spots where the solar panel and camera need different positions — The solar panel can be mounted on top of the camera or separately, so the panel can face the sun while the camera faces the area you want to watch.
Continuous 24/7 recording — When it is continuously powered through its USB-C port with a 5V/2A adapter, it can record 24/7: to a microSD card when connected to your router, or to HomeBase S380.
2. Not ideal for
Setups without a microSD card or HomeBase — This camera has no built-in storage. Without a microSD card or a HomeBase, you can watch live video but cannot save or play back recordings.
Seeing the scene in color at night or lighting it up — It uses infrared (black-and-white) night vision and has no spotlight.
Apple Home users — It does not work with Apple HomeKit; it is set up and viewed in the eufy app.
1. Which eufy SoloCam should I choose: SoloCam E30, S340, or S220?
Choose the SoloCam E30 if you want 360° pan-and-tilt coverage with 2K video and local microSD storage. The SoloCam S340 also pans and tilts, and adds 3K resolution, hybrid 8x zoom, color night vision with a spotlight, and 8GB of built-in storage. The SoloCam S220 is a fixed 2K camera without pan and tilt, with 8GB of built-in storage. All three run on a battery with solar charging.
2. Is the eufy SoloCam E30 the same as the eufy Indoor Cam E30 or Floodlight Camera E30?
No. It is a wire-free outdoor camera that runs on a battery and solar panel. The eufy Indoor Cam E30 and the eufy Floodlight Camera E30 are separate products with their own specifications and compatibility. When checking specs, accessories, or support articles, look for the full product name "SoloCam E30" or model number T8171.
3. Is the eufy SoloCam E30 wireless, or does it need to be plugged in?
It is wire-free. It runs on a built-in 10,000mAh battery that is recharged by the included removable solar panel, so it does not need a hardwired power connection. You can also charge it through its USB-C port with a 5V/2A power adapter; a full charge takes about 8 hours.
4. How long does the battery last, and how much sun does the solar panel need?
Without solar charging, a full battery lasts approximately 3 months, based on an average of 300 seconds of recording per day; actual battery life varies with motion frequency, recording length, and environmental conditions. With optimal sunlight, 2 hours of direct sun a day keeps the camera charged: the solar panel can collect and store 1,200 to 1,800 mAh per day, while the camera uses 100 to 200 mAh over a day and night of average use. Place the panel where it gets direct sunlight and tilt it 20° to 30°.
5. Does the SoloCam E30 record without a microSD card?
No. It has no built-in storage. Without a microSD card or a HomeBase, you can view live video in the eufy app, but recordings cannot be saved or played back. It supports a microSD card of up to 128GB, which is sold separately. When connected to HomeBase S380, it can store recordings on the HomeBase, with storage expandable to 16TB (hard drive sold separately).
6. Does the SoloCam E30 support 24/7 recording?
Yes, when the camera is continuously powered by a 5V/2A USB-C power adapter. When it is connected directly to your router, 24/7 recording requires a microSD card (up to 128GB, sold separately). When it is connected to HomeBase S380 (HomeBase 3), recordings are saved to the HomeBase's built-in storage, so no extra hard drive is needed. 24/7 recording is not supported with HomeBase 2.
7. Which eufy HomeBase works with the SoloCam E30, and what does HomeBase S380 add?
It works with HomeBase S380 (HomeBase 3) and HomeBase 2, and it also works on its own without a HomeBase. It is not compatible with HomeBase mini. Make sure your HomeBase is running the latest firmware. When connected to HomeBase S380, it can use the HomeBase for storage and gains BionicMind AI features, including familiar-face recognition, human detection, vehicle detection, and pet detection. 24/7 recording is supported with HomeBase S380 but not with HomeBase 2.
8. Does this camera work with Apple HomeKit?
No. It does not work with Apple HomeKit. It is set up, viewed, and managed in the eufy app.
9. What Wi-Fi does this camera need?
It connects only to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. During setup, you can connect it directly to your router or to a eufy HomeBase. Make sure your eufy app is updated to the latest version.
10. Does this camera have color night vision or a spotlight?
No. It uses infrared night vision and has no spotlight. Its f/1.6 aperture lets in more light for clearer night footage.
11. How do I install the camera and its solar panel?
You can mount the solar panel directly on top of the camera, or mount the camera and panel separately so the panel gets more sun. Mount the camera on a wall or under the eave, about 7 to 10 ft (2 to 3 m) above the ground. Place the solar panel where it gets direct sunlight and angle it 20° to 30°.
