Community Reviews

The SoloCam S40 is a solar outdoor camera best known for its built in spotlight and color night vision, with a slightly larger solar panel than the S220. The image quality and wireless setup get strong praise, and the lack of subscription fees keeps the value appealing at $40. The main concern is durability, since water intrusion has been linked to battery failure, dead units, and LED problems after one to three years. Charging can also struggle in shade, winter, or awkward mounting spots, so it works best where it gets steady sun.

  • Water intrusion can occur after about one to three years outdoors and can lead to battery issues and LED diode failure.

  • Solar charging and connectivity can fail depending on mounting and solar panel location.

  • The S40 can drain battery faster when the night spotlight activates randomly.

  • Video playback from SD card can take a long time to load for solar camera setups.

Anyone knows the difference between this and the s220?
The S40 has a spotlight built into it. And it has a slightly larger solar panel.

i have one, currently offline because it won't charge in the fall/winter. Fully out in the open. It may come on for an hour or so and then shuts off. I have motion detection turned off and on optimized battery settings
I have a similar model to this and have the same issue!

If you are using a few cameras and don't mind a subscription price, I've been using Ring for years. They have been rock solid.
I was going to say the same thing. I hate subscriptions but if you have a home alarm with Ring, it all makes sense and all your ring devices are covered by their warranty as long as you are a sub.

Not sure if this is even worth the discounted $40 price. Water gets into these units at the 1-2 year mark when installed outside and it'll cause battery issues and the LED diodes to fail.
same here

I've been using silicone sleeves on my older cameras and also got them for my S330 that I got in July.

I don't hang them, just put them on a log or box out in the yard.... never had any issues so far. I don't know if the sleeves help, but it covers everything up except the solar panel....

Just went out the other day and dug my cameras out of the snow.

Lowest price so far, a good deal!

Warning...I also had one failed in 2 years due to water leakage, but it seems there is no other better choice out there.

Quote from muffin30082 View quoted comment :
The only way to do it with Ring is with an external solar panel. The Ring panels are pricey. I'm using some off brand panels that are about 1/3 the price of the branded panel. Wi-Fi is not an issue for me as I get good signal.
Any recommendations? I've been hesitant to buy an offbrand after the last one I got was literally a sticker of a solar panel mounted on metal. And Amazon rejected my review of the same (but did take the return, at least) so I couldn't warn others.
