This Eufy Solar Security Camera Is Currently 33% Off.
There are plenty of outdoor security cameras on the market, but most offer a choice of limited coverage, constant recharging, or a monthly subscription fee that adds up over time. The Eufy SoloCam E42 does all three quite well—and is currently marked down to $119.98 from its regular price of $179.99, its lowest price yet, according to price tracking sites . For that price, you get a wireless 4K outdoor camera with a removable solar panel, 360-degree viewing, AI motion tracking, and local storage support, all without the mandatory subscription fee. This combination is still relatively rare, especially in this price range.
The removable solar panel is one of this camera’s most practical features. Unlike most solar cameras, where the panel is attached directly to the body, the E42 has separate panels, meaning you can point the camera toward the driveway and the solar panel toward the sun without sacrificing either. This small design feature makes a real difference during installation, especially in locations where the optimal viewing angle and optimal sunlight naturally don’t align. Regarding its field of view, the E42 can rotate 360 degrees horizontally, greatly helping eliminate blind spots around porches, yards, and driveways. AI motion detection helps reduce the usual flood of meaningless alerts by distinguishing between people, vehicles, and general movement, and automatic tracking can follow objects across the frame rather than locking onto a single image, though some more advanced AI features require pairing the camera with the Eufy HomeBase S380 (sold separately).
A built-in floodlight and motion-activated siren also provide additional deterrence, and Alexa support is essential if you already use voice control in your home. However, the SoloCam E42 only supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, which may require some adjustments in newer mesh systems built primarily on 5 GHz networks. Local storage also relies on a microSD card, which Eufy doesn’t include. Still, for those who need wide outdoor coverage without constant payments or frequent charging, the $120 price is a good value for what the E42 offers.
