♻️ Manufacturer Renewed · Excellent Condition
eufy SoloCam S230 (S40)
The solar-powered 2K spotlight camera that never needs a cable, a hub, or a subscription — now on its second sunrise.
Solar-powered. Renewed. The greenest camera we sell — twice over. ☀️
Let's talk about "Renewed" first
This camera had a previous life. It went back to the manufacturer, where it was professionally inspected, tested and restored to full working order through eufy/Anker's official renewal program — then graded before resale.
This unit is graded Excellent — the top renewed grade. Expect a camera in near-new cosmetic condition; at most, a faint mark you'd have to hunt for. It even arrives in its original retail box.
And it's covered: our in-house 12-month CamGuard warranty (this is a CamGuard warranty, not a manufacturer warranty), on top of your Australian Consumer Law rights.

Runs on sunshine, not on your to-do list
The solar panel is built into the top of the camera — no separate panel to buy, no extra cable to run. Around two hours of direct sunlight a day keeps the 13,400mAh battery topped up indefinitely, and even without sun the battery alone holds roughly four months of typical use.
Mount it, aim it, forget it. No ladder trips every few weeks to bring a camera inside for charging.
Reads number plates by day, faces by night
2K resolution with a 135° field of view and 8× zoom covers a driveway, carport or backyard in genuinely useful detail. When motion is detected after dark, the 600-lumen spotlight (adjustable brightness and colour temperature) kicks in for full-colour night vision up to about 8 metres — and there's classic infrared night vision as well.
Smart enough to ignore the possum
On-device AI person detection means it records when a human turns up — not every moth, headlight sweep and passing wildlife. Detection happens on the camera itself, so alerts are fast and your footage stays local: 8GB of built-in storage with AES-128 encryption, roughly two months of typical event recordings.
No cloud plan needed. No monthly fee. You bought the camera; the features are yours.
"A camera powered by the sun, given a second life instead of a landfill. If it were any greener it would photosynthesise."— The vibe, in one sentence
The honest bit
Every camera has limits. Here are this one's, stated plainly:
It was used before.
This is a Manufacturer Renewed unit, not new stock. Excellent grade means near-new cosmetics — and it comes in its original retail box (the box itself may show some shelf wear) — but it's had a previous owner. If you need factory-sealed, this isn't the listing for you.
The solar magic needs actual sun.
The panel is on top of the camera, so the mounting spot itself needs a couple of hours of direct light a day. Deep shade under an eave? It still works — you'll just top up the battery via USB-C every few months instead.
Storage is fixed at 8GB.
Built-in eMMC, no microSD slot, no HomeBase expansion. That's about two months of event clips before the oldest are overwritten. It records events, not 24/7 footage.
2.4GHz Wi-Fi only, and no Apple HomeKit.
It won't join a 5GHz-only network (most routers broadcast both — check yours). Works with Alexa and Google Assistant; HomeKit users should look elsewhere.

Questions we'd ask too
What exactly does "Manufacturer Renewed" mean?
The unit was previously used, then returned and put through the manufacturer's official renewal process — inspected, tested and restored to full working order before being graded and resold. This one ships in its original retail box and is covered by our 12-month CamGuard warranty (a CamGuard warranty, not a manufacturer one).
What does the "Excellent" grade mean cosmetically?
It's the top renewed grade: near-new condition. At most you might find a faint handling mark up close — nothing you'd notice with the camera on a wall, and nothing that affects function or weatherproofing.
Does it need a HomeBase or a subscription?
Neither. The SoloCam family is fully standalone — footage saves to the camera's own encrypted 8GB storage and everything works through the free eufy Security app. No hub, no monthly fees.
What if my mounting spot doesn't get much sun?
The camera still works fine — the 13,400mAh battery lasts around four months of typical use on its own. You'd just take it down for a USB-C top-up a few times a year instead of never.
What happens when the 8GB storage fills up?
It records on a rolling loop — roughly two months of event clips, with the oldest automatically overwritten. Important clips can be downloaded to your phone from the app.
How does the price compare to buying new?
This model sells new for $429.95 at eufy Australia (price checked July 2026). Renewed is how you get the same camera, tested and working, for considerably less.
How do I claim warranty if something goes wrong?
Contact us with your order details and the serial number. Every unit's serial is photographed and logged at dispatch, so your record already exists on our end. Faulty-item returns are always free.
