These Eufy Security Cameras Are Currently 24% Off Without a Subscription.
The Eufy SoloCam E30 dual-camera kit is now on sale on Amazon for $189.99, down from $249.99, a $60 reduction from the all-time low, according to price tracking sites . At around $95 per camera, it’s still a good deal, but Eufy doesn’t charge a monthly subscription fee for viewing or storing video, so you won’t have to worry about recurring payments increasing the cost over time. Each camera is also IP65-rated for outdoor use and can pan 360 degrees and tilt 70 degrees, providing enough flexibility to monitor multiple areas with a single unit.
This flexibility extends to the cameras’ power supply, as their built-in batteries can last for approximately three months without recharging, although frequent motion alerts can significantly reduce this lifespan. To reduce the need for manual charging, Eufy states that two hours of direct sunlight per day is sufficient to maintain battery charge. Connecting the cameras to a wired power source allows for continuous recording and the creation of short preview videos capturing events immediately prior to motion detection—but power cables must be purchased separately.
In terms of video quality, the cameras record in 2K resolution, allowing for reasonably clear footage even in the dark thanks to infrared night vision. However, there’s a catch: there’s no built-in floodlight for color night vision, so while you might be able to see a car pulling into your driveway at 2 a.m., you might not be able to detect its color. Video recordings are stored locally on a microSD card up to 128GB or via one of two compatible Eufy HomeBase models (all sold separately)—the HomeBase S380 offers advanced AI features and terabytes of storage, while the S280 simplifies multi-camera management, supporting up to 16 devices, allowing for future coverage expansion. However, there are some compatibility limitations, as the E30 only connects to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and works with Alexa and Google Assistant, but not Apple HomeKit.
