Ensuring the safety of my home is a top priority for me, which is why I have installed CCTV cameras all around my house. Some were affordable, while others were a bit pricier, but the peace of mind they provide is priceless.
These cameras serve as a great first line of defense in my layered security approach. In fact, I have even been able to assist the local police by providing them with footage of a pair of burglars fleeing the scene of a van break-in.
One camera in particular, the Eufy Solocam S220, captured that video. Out of all the cameras I have installed, this one was the easiest to fit and use. Plus, thanks to its built-in solar panel, I have never had to worry about charging it.
Although it is the most expensive camera in my collection at £109.99, there is some good news. It is currently available at a discounted price of just £74.99 as part of the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days promotion. That’s quite a significant saving.
To be honest, there are cameras with better resolution and faster loading times from their app that I have tested. However, one of the standout features of the Solocam S220 for me is its free cloud storage.
While it works best when paired with Eufy’s Home Base, which is an additional expense, the camera still provides crisp, clear video coverage with AI detection and night vision capabilities even without it.
Another great advantage is that it is completely wireless. Since it is recharged by solar power, there is no need to connect it to the household mains or plug it into your router. It simply connects to your WiFi.
Originally priced at £109.99, I already considered it a good value for money. But at £74.99, it’s an absolute steal. I highly recommend taking advantage of this offer while you still can.
