What it does well.

SoloCam S230: the features that matter in everyday use.

2K detail

A fixed 135° view and up to 8x digital zoom let you review the area you have framed. Check the view and detail at the actual mounting position.

Light and colour at night

A 600-lumen spotlight switches on with motion and lights the scene for colour night vision, adjustable in brightness and colour temperature. Plain infrared night vision is also available.

S230 integrated solar panel model illustration

Solar built in

A solar panel sits in the top of the body and tops up the 13,400 mAh built-in battery. eufy recommends at least two hours of direct sun a day.

Talk and alert

Half-duplex two-way audio lets you take turns speaking. Human detection can filter motion alerts, and a 90 dB siren can be triggered manually or automatically.

The honest details

Before you buy.

  • Night footage is colour only when the spotlight is on. Colour night vision needs the spotlight switched on. Without it, night footage is plain infrared, black and white.
  • The view is fixed. 135° wide, no pan, no tilt. Aim it once when you mount it.
  • It records events, not all day. Motion and human detection trigger clips to the 8 GB on board. No continuous recording, no cloud plan, no NAS export.
  • Check the optional hub route. Current tables include Mini, HomeBase 3 and S1, while the dedicated S40 FAQ still excludes HomeBase. Confirm the exact pairing before purchase.
  • Fair means visible marks. Scuffs and scratches on the housing that you will notice standing in front of it. If that would bother you daily, choose a higher renewed grade.
  • It alerts. It does not prevent. A camera records, detects and notifies. It is one part of home security, not the whole of it.

Make sure it fits your setup.

Use it standalone over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. For an optional hub, match T8124 and check current firmware because eufy’s dedicated S40 FAQ and current compatibility tables disagree.

Works with

  • Standalone on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. Clips save to the camera’s built-in 8 GB.
  • Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. eufy's own SoloCam S40 FAQ confirms both, each with a device that has a display.

Does not work with

  • HomeBase 2. The current exact-model compatibility table marks T8124 unsupported.
  • Apple Home. eufy's own SoloCam S40 FAQ: "No. eufy SoloCam S40 does not support Apple HomeKit."
  • 5 GHz-only Wi-Fi, continuous recording, cloud backup, NAS and IFTTT. None of these are offered on this model, per eufy's own FAQ.

Check before buying

  • HomeBase Mini, HomeBase 3 and HomeBase Professional S1. Current eufy compatibility sources list T8124 with these hubs, while the dedicated S40 FAQ says no HomeBase connection. Confirm the exact hub, app and firmware pairing before relying on it.
  • An external solar panel. The S40 FAQ says a eufy solar panel is compatible, but an older Solar Panel Charger guide excludes S40. Confirm the exact panel revision and connection.

Fair condition, explained.

The lowest cosmetic grade we sell. Same spec sheet as a new unit, with visible marks on the housing.

What Fair means

This unit was used, then went through the manufacturer's renewal programme. Expect obvious scuffs and scratches on the housing. They differ from unit to unit and they are cosmetic only.

Who did the work

The manufacturer's renewal programme did the refurbishment and testing. We describe the cosmetics and the packaging. We do not claim to have tested your individual unit ourselves.

How it arrives

In protective packaging; retail packaging may vary. Fully working, with the accessories listed further down, and covered by our own 12-month warranty.

Right for you if

  • You have a sunny position for a fixed-view, motion-event camera.
  • You want a spotlight and colour night vision without paying a subscription.
  • You want standalone recording without a required hub.
  • You use Alexa or Google Assistant with a display, or neither.
  • You want the SoloCam S230 spec sheet at the lowest cosmetic grade we sell, and the scuffs are fine by you.

Probably not for you if

  • You need an optional hub pairing confirmed before purchase and have not checked the exact setup.
  • You want to pan or tilt from the app.
  • You run Apple Home and need the camera in it.
  • The mounting spot is in deep shade all day.

Plan your setup.

What you need

A sunny position and a charged battery

The S230, also called S40, has a built-in solar panel and connects to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. A HomeBase is optional. Give it direct sun and charge before mounting; solar performance depends on placement and activity. Check exact accessory compatibility before adding an external panel because official guidance differs by revision.

Recording and storage

Local events, not an all-day timeline

The S230 has 8 GB built in for event clips and overwrites the oldest recordings when full. It does not support continuous recording, cloud recording or NAS in the exact S40 FAQ. Current hub compatibility has expanded beyond that older FAQ; check the chosen hub and firmware before adding one.

  1. Charge it fully first. Use the USB-C cable before it goes anywhere near a ladder.
  2. Pair it next to the router. Open the eufy Security app on a 2.4 GHz network and scan the camera's QR code. Then walk it to the mounting spot and check the signal holds before you drill.
  3. Mount for sun and view together. eufy recommends hanging it 2 to 3 m above the ground, with at least two hours of direct sun a day and a clear 135° view of what matters.
  4. Set zones and the spotlight. Up to two activity zones, plus adjustable spotlight brightness and colour temperature. Point them at the gate or the driveway, not the street.

Questions people ask.

Is a Fair-grade unit worse at its job than a new one?

No. The grade describes the housing, not the electronics. A renewed unit runs the same published spec sheet. The difference is cosmetic marks and the plain packaging it ships in.

Do I need a HomeBase or a subscription to use it?

No. Standalone use records events to the camera’s 8 GB over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi without a paid core recording plan. Current eufy tables list Mini, HomeBase 3 and S1, but the S40 FAQ conflicts. Check the exact hub and firmware if that optional route matters.

How much sun does it actually need?

eufy's figure is at least two hours of direct sunlight a day to keep the built-in 13,400 mAh battery topped up under normal use. A shaded spot will still work, but you will be charging it by USB-C more often.

What does night footage look like?

Colour, when the spotlight is set to switch on with motion at night, rated by eufy up to about 8 m away. Without the spotlight it is plain infrared, black and white. The view is fixed: no pan, no tilt.

When will it ship, and what does delivery cost?

We do our best to get orders out the same day. Same-day to 1 business day is our typical dispatch time from Townsville. During busy periods it can extend, though that is rare. Australia Post Express is included on every order over $99.00. Under $99.00 it is $9.95 tracked or $12.95 Express.

Who covers the warranty?

We do. CamGuard Australia is an independent importer and reseller, and this product carries our own 12-month warranty. It is not a manufacturer warranty. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law apply on top. Faulty or not as described inside that year and we cover the return postage.

Can I return it if I change my mind?

Yes, within 30 days of delivery if it is complete and unused. You pay the return postage and the original shipping is not refunded. Faulty or not-as-described returns are always free.

SoloCam S230, renewed · fair.

SoloCam S230 · Manufacturer Renewed

Gear First · the colourful, practical view

Scuffs? Yep.
Features? Also yep.

Fair cosmetic grade means a visibly worn shell. The camera's published feature set still includes 2K event video, built-in solar charging, spotlight night view and local storage.

The grade is cosmetic

You can see the wear.
That's the point of Fair.

Expect obvious scuffs and scratches on the housing. This was previously used, then refurbished and tested through eufy's manufacturer renewal process. It arrives in plain renewed packaging, not a printed retail box. CamGuard Australia describes the cosmetic grade and does not claim to test each individual unit.

Prioritise function?

This grade suits someone who cares more about the published S230 features than a pristine-looking shell. The photos show the model, not the exact marks on your unit.

Our own 12-month warranty applies, with Australian Consumer Law rights alongside it.

Why this model makes sense

The useful stuff is built in.

01

Sun on top

The solar panel is integrated into the camera. No separate panel is needed for its standard solar setup.

02

Light after dark

A 600-lumen spotlight can turn on with motion for colour night clips in suitable conditions.

03

Clips stay local

Motion clips save to 8 GB inside the camera. Core local recording needs no monthly plan.

Charge plan

Give it some sun.

eufy recommends at least two hours of direct sunlight each day under normal use. A shaded location can still work, but you will need to top up the built-in battery by USB-C more often. Check the Wi-Fi signal and solar exposure at the actual mounting spot.

After dark

Spotlight when motion hits.

The 600-lumen light can switch on with motion. Colour night video needs that light; infrared mode is black and white. You can adjust brightness and colour temperature. The camera records events, not 24/7.

Fast facts, fewer surprises

Know what it does.

Fixed view

135° field of view, no pan or tilt. Aim carefully before mounting.

Standalone

Runs on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi without a required HomeBase.

Local storage

8 GB built in. Oldest clips overwrite when full; no microSD expansion.

Useful alerts

On-device human detection can filter motion alerts. Detection is not a promise to catch every event.

Easy to plan

Three checks before the ladder.

  1. Charge first.Charge the camera by USB-C before mounting. A cable is not confirmed in this renewed parcel, so ask us if you need one supplied.
  2. Test Wi-Fi.Pair in the eufy Security app on 2.4 GHz and confirm signal where the camera will go.
  3. Choose the angle.eufy recommends 2 to 3 m height. Check the fixed view, direct sun and activity zones before drilling.

Straight answers

The limits are part of the deal.

Optional hub? Check first.

Standalone use works without one. eufy's current compatibility sources disagree with its S40 FAQ about optional hubs. Confirm your exact model and firmware before relying on a pairing.

No all-day timeline.

The S230 saves motion events, not continuous footage. It has no NAS recording or cloud backup for this model.

Not an incident prevention system.

It can record, detect and alert, but no camera prevents an incident or guarantees detection.

Not a pristine unboxing.

Fair grade has obvious cosmetic wear and plain renewed packaging. Choose another grade if the exterior matters to you.

Parcel reality

What is actually confirmed?

The renewed offer confirms the SoloCam S230 camera. Loose mounting hardware, a USB-C charging cable and printed instructions are not confirmed for this unit. Ask us before ordering if any particular accessory is essential.

In this offer

One manufacturer-renewed SoloCam S230 (S40), Fair cosmetic grade, in plain protective packaging.

Not in this offer

Printed retail carton, HomeBase or separate solar panel. The camera has its own integrated solar panel.

Still deciding?

Quick answers.

Does Fair mean broken?

No. Fair is the cosmetic grade: expect obvious wear. Refurbishment and testing happened through eufy's manufacturer renewal process. CamGuard Australia does not individually test the unit, and our own 12-month warranty applies.

Do I need a subscription?

No paid plan is required for core local event recording to the camera's built-in 8 GB. The camera needs 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi for setup and app use.

When will it ship?

We do our best to dispatch the same day. Same-day to one business day is typical from Townsville; busy periods can take longer, though that is rare. Tracking is provided.
