Not Your Average Outdoor Camera
Solar powered, AI brained, 4K eyed, and loud when it needs to be. This thing doesn't just record — it reacts.
True 4K UHD Resolution
8 megapixels of clarity with an f/1.6 aperture. Reads licence plates up to 10 metres away. Day or night, you're getting detail.
360° Pan & Tilt
Full 360° horizontal rotation. No fixed blind spots, no excuses. The camera physically turns to follow what matters — not a fixed stare at one corner.
Colour Night Vision
250‑lumen spotlight kicks in at night for full‑colour footage. Not that washed‑out grey infrared look — actual colours, actual detail.
8× Digital Zoom
Zoom in on details after the fact. Who was at the door? What was that number plate? Pinch and find out.
Two‑Way Audio + 105 dB Siren
Full‑duplex two‑way audio so you can talk through the camera. And if talking isn't cutting it, there's a 105 dB siren and red/blue strobe lights that'll change someone's mind real quick.
Powered by the Sun. Literally.
The integrated 3W solar panel harvests enough energy from roughly 2 hours of direct sunlight per day to keep the camera running indefinitely. No cables, no electrician, no power bills.

It Follows. Automatically.
Built‑in AI detects motion, identifies what it is, and physically rotates the camera to track it across your property. No manual panning required.
🚶
Human Detection
Knows the difference between a person and a tree branch. Alerts accordingly.
🚗
Vehicle Detection
Detects cars pulling in. Useful at 3am when nobody should be pulling in.
👤
Facial Recognition
Paired with HomeBase 3, learns familiar faces vs strangers. Smart enough to not alert you when it's just Dave.
Scares First. Records Second.
When the AI detects a threat, it doesn't just sit there. It lights up, screams, and makes sure whoever's there knows they're on camera.
Strobe + Siren Active
Red & blue strobes · 105 dB siren · Full‑colour recording
Strobe Lights
Alternating red & blue LEDs — unmistakable and unignorable.
105 dB Siren
Louder than a chainsaw. The neighbours will definitely know too.
250lm Spotlight
Lights up the scene in full colour while recording every detail.
The E42 is what happens when you give an outdoor camera a solar panel, a brain, and a temper. It charges itself, follows intruders, and yells at them. You just check the app when you feel like it. 😎
No BS. Here's the Deal.
We sell cameras, not fairy tales.

How It Connects
The E42 works standalone or as part of a bigger eufy ecosystem.
Standalone (No Hub)
- Connects direct to your Wi‑Fi router
- MicroSD card for local storage (up to 128 GB)
- AI human & vehicle detection on‑device
- Full app access, alerts, and live view
With HomeBase (Recommended)
- HomeBase 3 (S380) — HomeBase 2 not compatible
- Expandable storage up to 16 TB
- Facial recognition (HomeBase 3 only)
- Cross‑camera tracking & daily summaries
Voice Assistants
- Amazon Alexa
- Google Assistant
- Apple HomeKit — not supported
Power Options
- Built‑in SolarPlus 2.0 panel (primary)
- USB‑C charging (backup / initial charge)
- Wired power for 24/7 continuous recording
💡 Pro tip: The E42 works perfectly fine on its own with a MicroSD card. But if you want facial recognition, cross‑camera tracking, and massive storage — pair it with a HomeBase 3 (S380). That's where it really shines.
Is This Camera For You?
Probably Skip If… 🤷
- Your install spot gets zero direct sunlight
- You need 5 GHz Wi‑Fi (this is 2.4 GHz only)
- You want a wired PoE camera (see our E40 listing)
- You need absolutely silent operation (motor makes noise)
- You just need a basic camera (this is a bit overkill for a doorbell spot)
Perfect If… ✅
- You want truly wireless — no power cables, no electrician
- Solar powered sounds like your kind of thing
- You want 4K with a camera that tracks intruders itself
- You hate monthly subscriptions (same)
- You want active deterrence — strobe + siren + spotlight
- You're building a eufy ecosystem with HomeBase

Quick Answers
Do I need a HomeBase to use this?
Nope — the E42 works standalone. Connect it to your Wi‑Fi router, pop in a MicroSD card, and you're set. But pairing with a HomeBase 3 (S380) unlocks facial recognition, cross‑camera tracking, and expandable storage up to 16 TB.
How does the solar work in Australia?
Australia is basically a giant solar panel, so you're in luck. The camera needs roughly 2 hours of direct sunlight per day. In most of QLD, NSW, VIC, SA — you're well covered. Shaded spots under deep eaves or south‑facing walls might struggle.
Is this actually sealed / brand new?
Yes — factory sealed in the original eufy retail box. The seal is intact, the box is unopened, and you'll be the first to unbox it. Full manufacturer packaging with all original accessories inside.
Does it record 24/7?
On solar/battery: it records on motion events. The battery can't sustain continuous recording. But if you wire it to USB power, you can enable 24/7 continuous recording.
Can I use this with 5 GHz Wi‑Fi?
No — 2.4 GHz only. Most routers broadcast both bands so just make sure you connect the camera to the 2.4 GHz network during setup. This is standard for battery cameras.
Is the pan/tilt noisy?
You can hear the motor faintly when it rotates. It's not loud, but it's not silent either. If the camera is right next to your bedroom window, you might notice it tracking things at night. Something to consider for placement.
What HomeBase should I pair it with?
HomeBase 3 (S380) is the best option — gives you facial recognition, AI summaries, and up to 16 TB storage. HomeBase 2 is not compatible with the SoloCam range. Sold separately.
