This eufy SoloCam S3 Pan Tilt is a solar powered outdoor camera best suited for wireless monitoring without monthly fees. The pan and tilt view, spotlight for color night video, and Homebase ecosystem fit make it appealing for driveway or porch coverage. Pricing is lower in store than online, with warehouse tags around $99 to $100 versus about $110 online. The main limitation is that it records motion events only, not continuous video, and the included solar panel has drawn durability complaints. It is a solid fit if event based recording is enough.
Common Questions (5)
Yes. Costco.com is about $10 more than the in-store price, with online pricing around $109.99-$110 and warehouse pricing reported at $99.99-$100; Costco also does not price match warehouse prices for Costco.com purchases.
It can work well for general outdoor monitoring and detect people at moderate distance, but it may miss movement when a person is close and moving parallel to the camera. Motion detection and playback have also been reported as slow or unreliable on some units.
There are no monthly fees. It records event-based clips rather than continuous 24/7 video, even when hardwired or connected to a HomeBase, so it is better for motion-triggered monitoring than full-time recording.
Battery life can be strong enough to survive multiple cloudy days, and some units have run for a year without depletion. The included solar panel has also been reported to fail or get damaged after rain, so some owners replace it with a third-party panel.
It is just a camera, not a floodlight model. It does have a spotlight, which can enable color night video.

Tapo model C460, C460 KIT, C660, and TC92 KIT are all battery-powered cameras with the option of connecting a solar panel, and they all support 24/7 capture capabilities.<br />

If you have lots of activity, cloudy skies or both, you might have to slow to 1 frame every 15/30/60 seconds to conserve power. That's almost as good as not having and pre/post-roll.

The ability to pan and see 270-deg around the outside of my house, is great. And it tracks cars & humans sometimes, moving in front of my house. But it can only record motion events in one section (where it is pointed) at a time.
But the ReoLink Duo has TWO cameras, and can see/record the entire street in front of my house, all the time.

I haven't done any real research, but a dual camera like this might be nice (for my situation).<br />

You are buying a brand of security camera that has no market share in their own country.
Reasons for Eufy's minimal share in China
Intense competition: Eufy faces strong competition from established local companies with large market shares.
Privacy features: Eufy's emphasis on features like local storage and end-to-end encryption, which appeal to Western customers, are less of a competitive advantage in a country with extensive state surveillance.
Different market focus: Anker Innovations prioritizes its international growth for Eufy, while in China it focuses on other product lines and brands.
