It's too bad none of eufy's solar powered cameras are compatible with nas/rtsp.

tl:dr - drag and highlight code and then copy from SD to paste into Amazon coupon field and should work every time. Compared to double clicking coupon from SD to highlight and copy.

Regarding the code not working... I have ran into this with amazon with copying codes from SD. Something about how you select the code and paste into amazon's coupon field... sometimes amazon doesn't like it. First I thought it was a white space issue (extra space) but that wasn't the case. It was a difference between double clicking the text of the code on SD or dragging and highlighting the code.

e: just tested. double clicking the code to highlight it and copy it, doesn't work in amazon (you get red text). I then did it again by dragging and selecting the code, and pasted into amazon coupon and it accepted. I'm not doing any special form of pasting, and I'm copying the same text (again, no white space) both times, so if a web dev can explain why the way the text is selected (double click vs drag and highlight) matters... would be curious to know!

Worst case, you can always copy the code, paste into notepad, recopy from there, and you should have plain text copied. Or...*shudder* type the code out manually.

Been looking for a good deal, any opinion, any thoughts about this version?
I have had this for 2 months. Never had to charge it after mounting (in FL). Video quality is excellent 2k. Motion alerts needed some fine tuning. Flash light is bright enough. Only drawback is the video only records up to certain duration since it's a battery camera so you may miss parts of long motion clips.

I am in Chicago and have the older model hooked up to the solar panel. It works decently.
Thanks will give it a shot.

I bought one at the same price when Amazon had a sale on this. It's a good camera, I like it.

Had mine up for a year, really impressed with it. Motion detection with set for humans was actually really good, video quality was good. Mine had sun about 8 hours a day, never got a low battery alarm.

I have this camera and it is where i get sunlight around 6/7 hours of the day (depends on the weather/clouds of-course). I have been using this camera for my backyard and I have to say it is amazing. Please note you have to fully charge the camera when you receive it then the solar panel does its thing to keep it "topped" off throughout the day and NO its not a gimmick it actually works. 9 months in and it still shows 100% battery. I have Eufy Cam Pro cameras around the other exteriors of the home where i dont get sunlight and have to bring them down to charge it every 6/7months depending on activity usage, so having one less camera to climb on ladder and bring down was worth it for me. For the camera itself its amazing 2K quality. Check out Lifehackester on youtube he does great reviews.

Manually typing the code worked for me

These are cool cameras, but keep in mind these are the older design that some people said the solar panel isn't big enough to keep up with the camera charge. The newer model has a separate larger solar panel.

Also, these cams have local storage only, so if something happens to the camera I believe you'll lose your footage. Ring may charge $100/yr, but you do get offsite storage for unlimited cameras for that price.

You just need to weigh what your needs/goals are. Otherwise, the build quality on these cameras (eufy is an Anker company) is really good!

I personally like the seperate camera and solar charger. Eufy has been awesome but i've had a few cameras go bad. Easier to switch out camera and just plug in solar than get the whole pricier camera again.
That's what I have. Been great and always charged. But I have had a couple of problems with two other model Eufys (Round outdoor cameras). I'm not 100% sold on dependability yet. Maybe I'm wrong, just not sure yet.
