eufy SoloCam S220 Security Camera | Manufacturer Renewed
eufy SoloCam S220
cheap without compromise.
A 2K solar-powered outdoor cam with forever-power battery, human AI detection, and colour night vision — refurbished by eufy themselves, with the warranty of a brand new one.
Short answer: nope. Long answer: it depends.
The SoloCam S220 is a standalone camera. It works straight out of the bag with just your Wi-Fi — no HomeBase, no hub, no subscription. But you can optionally pair it with a HomeBase 3 down the track if you want extra features. Here's the full picture.
Standalone (as shipped)
- Works out of the box — 10 min setup
- 8GB built-in local storage (~14-30 days of footage)
- Direct Wi-Fi connection, no hub needed
- Human AI detection runs on-device
- Zero ongoing fees or subscriptions
- Zero extra hardware cost
- 8GB eventually fills up and overwrites old footage
- No cross-camera tracking (if you add more cams later)
- Basic human AI only — no facial recognition
Paired with HomeBase 3
- Expandable storage up to 16TB — never fills up
- BionicMind facial recognition (knows who's who)
- Cross-camera tracking across your whole setup
- Unified notifications + smart alert rules
- Centralises all your eufy cameras together
- Extra hardware — HomeBase 3 sold separately
- Another device to plug in and keep powered
- Overkill for a single outdoor camera
Straight up — this one's had a life.
This unit is refurbished directly by eufy — meaning it was previously owned, returned to eufy, and put through their official refurbishment process before being re-certified for resale. It's not "open box" and it's not "as new". Expect visible cosmetic marks: scratches on the housing, scuffs on the mount, possible UV fading on the sun-facing side, maybe some minor discolouration. That's the reality of an outdoor camera that's done a previous tour of duty.
What it absolutely isn't is broken, flaky, or missing parts. eufy's refurbishment process restores it to full working order before re-certification. We then test it again here in Townsville before it leaves our door. And you still get every original accessory — the camera, mounting hardware, cable, screws, everything. The only thing you won't get is the shiny retail box.
- Fully working, factory-refurbished camera
- All original accessories and parts
- Same features, same 2K image quality
- Full 12-month CamGuard warranty
- 30-day hassle-free returns
- Visible cosmetic scratches & scuffs
- Possible UV fading on housing
- Wear marks on mounting parts
- No original retail box (protective packaging instead)
- Not pristine — that's exactly why it's cheap
If you need pristine tech with a sealed retail box, pick up the Brand New S220 instead. But if you just want a working outdoor cam and cosmetics don't matter, this is the one.
Ships in protective packaging — not the retail box
As part of eufy's refurbishment process, units are repackaged into plain protective packaging instead of the original retail box. Think bubble wrap and a plain carton.
Camera, USB-C cable, mounting bracket, screws, positioning sticker, and quick start guide — everything that normally ships inside the retail box still ships with your order. The only thing missing is the outer cardboard and the eufy branding on it. If that's a dealbreaker, go with the Brand New option.
What "refurbished by eufy" actually means
Not a polish-and-repack. A proper factory recertification process run by eufy themselves before the unit is resold.
Returned to eufy
Unit comes back — customer return, warranty replacement, or pulled retail stock. Doesn't matter why, it gets the same treatment.
Inspected & Repaired
Any faulty components get replaced, firmware is reflashed, battery checked, and the unit is restored to full working order.
Factory Tested
Camera, Wi-Fi, solar charging, motion detection, audio, and night vision all run through eufy's certification checks.
Repackaged & Sold
Packaged with all original accessories (minus the retail box), marked as refurbished, and distributed to resellers.
Same camera. Same features. Same performance.
The S220 is eufy's mainstream wireless solar-powered outdoor cam. A refurb performs identically to a new one — here's what you're getting:
2K HD Resolution
Sharp 2560×1440 footage with a 135° field of view — clearer than the 1080p cameras it replaces, easier to identify faces and plates.
2560 × 1440Solar · Forever Power
Integrated 0.9W solar panel + 6,500mAh battery. Just 3 hours of daily sun keeps it running non-stop. No ladder trips to recharge.
6,500mAh + solarColour Night Vision
f/1.6 aperture captures more low-light detail, with white LED for colour night vision and infrared for pitch-black conditions.
IR + colour modesOn-Device Human AI
AI human detection runs on-device — so you only get alerts that matter instead of every leaf blowing past. No cloud, no fees.

What you'll actually get
