The second one I have on another fence post, but during 3/4 of the year, between the angle of the sun and a nearby tree's branches growing out, it gets light but tends to not get direct sunlight. During these months, it triggers a 30 second motion activated clip maybe once per day, and loses about 1% battery per day, so I have to manually charge it about once every 2 months.
by contrast, I also put up a Blink outdoor camera with the extended battery pack right next to the Eufy one I have in direct sunlight. Despite the extended battery pack that was supposed to last an advertised 4 years, I just had to replace one of the 4 batteries last week. I tested all the batteries in it, 3 of the batteries were nearly full while 1 was completely dead, causing the blink camera to not work anymore until replacing that 1 battery. so there's definitely a problem with the Blink camera in regards to it's battery pack, although it did last about 9 months anyway off just that one battery, triggering just slightly less often than the Eufy camera.

I live in Pacific Northwest and the camera went through fine in winter. It came down to almost 50% charge over the winter, but once days became sunny it came back to 100% in a month. The camera is east facing, so has better chance to get sun light. I have added 2 more a week back, in west which get less sun light. I have to check how they deal with winter.
I have two of these in my backyard for about the past year. One is on a fence post that gets direct sun during the entire year. I have not had to manually recharge it, and it's still at 96% battery triggering probably on average 3 motion activated 30s clips per day. Pretty much every time that it drops to around 90%, it will charge back up to 96-98% within the next day or two.

Certain models still support HomeKit.
You set the zone that you want to record, and motion will trigger it to record. These have onboard storage, no subscription
