For comparison, I also have a Eufy solar wall cam installed in Florida — and even with way more sun year-round, I still end up having to manually charge it once a year, usually around February. So unless you live in the desert or somewhere with strong, consistent sunlight all day long, don't expect solar-powered cameras to be a reliable "set it and forget it" solution.
That said, I do think Eufy makes decent cameras overall — not perfect, but solid. I own several different Eufy models and most of them work just fine. However, their wired Dual Cam Doorbell has its own issues. It tends to overheat during Florida's brutal summer heatwaves when temperatures consistently hit 95°F or higher. When that happens, the device fails, and I have to manually reset and restart it — which is especially annoying if I'm away for a few weeks and can't do it remotely.
Solar charging sounds great in theory, but in practice - it's unreliable.
