🎗️ Class 22 · Second Prize · Manufacturer Renewed (Good)
Second on presentation. Level on performance.
eufy SoloCam S220, 2K and solar, manufacturer renewed and graded Good. It lost points at the bench for scuffs and light scratches on the housing, and not one point for anything it actually does. Red ribbon, and a noticeably friendlier price than the blue.

Judge's verdict · condition, up front
This camera was used, and it looks like it. That is the whole deal.
It is Manufacturer Renewed — Good (Grade B). The unit was previously owned, returned, and then refurbished, tested and graded by the manufacturer's own renewal programme. Good means the cosmetic wear is visible: expect scuffs and light scratches on the housing. It works perfectly. You are buying a discount on appearance, not on function.
- Visible cosmetic wear — scuffs and light scratches you will see up close.
- Fully functional. The grade is about how it looks, not how it works.
- Refurbishment, testing and grading are the manufacturer's, under their renewal programme. We list the grade they gave it.
- Ships in renewed (non-retail) packaging, and carries our own 12-month CamGuard Australia warranty.

Four exhibits, one camera
Laid out on the white cloth with their entry tags still attached — what this camera actually does, in the order the judge walked the table.
Exhibit 22a
The solar class
A 0.9W solar panel is built into the top of the camera, feeding a 6,500mAh battery. eufy quotes up to three months of standalone run time, and says roughly three hours of daily sunlight is enough to keep it topped up. Put it somewhere the sun actually lands and charging stops being your job.
0.9W integrated panel6,500mAhUp to 3 months standaloneUSB-C top-up
Exhibit 22b
The picture class
2K at 2560 × 1440 through an f/1.6 lens, across a 135° view. Wide enough for a driveway, a carport or a back deck without warping the edges into a fisheye. After dark it switches to infrared night vision — there is no spotlight on this model.
2K 2560×1440f/1.6135° field of viewInfrared night vision
Exhibit 22c
The weather class
IP67 rated and specified from −20°C to 50°C, which is a comfortable margin for a Queensland eave in February. It is a compact 96.5 × 81 × 57.5 mm and 320 g, so the bracket does not need to be anchored into anything heroic.

Exhibit 22d
The keeping-it class
Footage records to 8 GB of built-in eMMC storage on the camera itself, and eufy states there are no monthly fees for the S220. On-device AI does human and face detection, there is two-way audio and a 75 dB siren, and if you already run a HomeBase 3 the camera works with it for expandable storage.

“Presentation marked down for scuffing to the housing. Function faultless. Second place, and the steward notes it will look identical to first from the footpath.”

Judging card · Exhibit: SoloCam S220Grade B · Good
✓
It was somebody else's camera first
Manufacturer Renewed means used, returned, then refurbished and tested by the manufacturer's renewal programme and graded. We do not call it new, because it is not.
✕
The wear is visible, not hypothetical
Scuffs and light scratches on the housing. Not cracks, not holes, not anything structural — but you will see them when you unwrap it, and we would rather you knew that now.
✓
It works exactly like the blue-ribbon one
Same 2K sensor, same solar panel, same IP67 body, same features. The grade is a cosmetic judgement and nothing else.
✕
No sealed retail box
It arrives in renewed, non-retail packaging, protectively packed. If this is a gift and the box matters, this is the wrong listing.
✕
No spotlight on this model
Night vision on the S220 is infrared. There is no spotlight and no colour night footage. That is the S220's spec, not a fault with this unit.
✕
2.4GHz Wi-Fi only
5GHz networks are out. Most routers hand out both, but mesh systems occasionally need a nudge to expose a 2.4GHz band to new devices.
✓
Battery health is not something we can promise
It is a used battery in a renewed unit. eufy's figure of up to three months standalone is for a new one. Real-world run time depends on motion volume, temperature, and how much sun the panel actually gets.
✕
No cloud, no NAS
eufy lists cloud and NAS as unsupported for the S220. Storage is the built-in 8 GB, or a HomeBase 3 if you already have one.
Short version: the marks are real and the savings are real. Three metres up under an eave, nobody has ever spotted a Grade B scuff from the ground.
🔵 Blue Ribbon — Excellent (A)Near-new. Light handling marks possible. The cleanest way in.
🔴 Red Ribbon — Good (B)You are looking at this one. Visible cosmetic wear, works perfectly.
🟢 Highly Commended — Fair (C)Clearly marked cosmetically. Fully functional. The cheapest way in.
Chief steward's notes
Why buy it from this pavilion
Four notes off the clipboard — the things that are actually different about buying renewed eufy gear from us.
Chief Steward · Class 22 · notes for the record
1
Australian stock, Australian warranty
Everything ships from our own shelves in Townsville, Queensland. The warranty is ours and we handle it ourselves — there is no offshore ticket queue between you and a person.
2
Graded honestly, described plainly
We list the manufacturer's grade as it was given, and we describe cosmetic condition in plain words rather than hiding it in a footnote. If a listing says there are marks, expect marks.
3
Express in the price
Australia Post Express is included on every order over $99.00, dispatched within one business day. No surprise freight line at checkout.
4
Questions answered before you buy
Send a message. We would much rather talk you out of the wrong camera than process a return, and we will tell you if a different grade or model suits you better.

At the entry gate
Entered, scratched, or see the steward
The gate steward stamps every entry before it reaches the bench. Same idea here — what this camera will and will not do, stamped rather than buried.
✓ Entered
Running it on its own
The S220 works standalone on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi with the eufy Security app. No hub to buy, no subscription needed — recordings go to the camera's own 8 GB of storage.
✗ Scratched
A 5GHz-only network
This camera joins 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only. If your router or mesh will not present a 2.4GHz band to new devices, the S220 cannot get on it. Worth checking before you order.
✎ See the steward
Adding it to a HomeBase 3
Optional, not required. eufy lists the S220 as working with HomeBase 3 for expandable storage. If you already run one, bring it in; if you do not, the camera is perfectly happy on its own.
Entered
Sun on the mounting spot. The panel is small and it is the whole point — a wall that gets real, direct sun is what keeps this camera off your charging list.
Entered
Renters and short leases. Two screws and a bracket, no wiring, no electrician. It comes down as easily as it went up.
See the steward
Deep shade or a south-facing wall. It will still record; you will just be topping it up over USB-C now and then rather than letting the sun do it.
Scratched
4K footage. The S220 is a 2K camera. If you need to read a numberplate across a long driveway, look at a 4K model instead.
Scratched
A spotlight. There is no spotlight on the S220 — night vision is infrared. If you want the light to come on when something moves, that is a different model in the range.
See the steward
Cloud or NAS recording. eufy lists cloud and NAS as unsupported on this model. Storage is the built-in 8 GB, or a HomeBase 3 if you have one.
Scratched & entered
Read the scratchings before you back it
The unglamorous half first. We would genuinely rather you walked away here than paid for the wrong thing.
Scratched
Probably not for you if…
- You want the housing to look untouched out of the wrapping
- It is a gift, or it is going somewhere at eye level where people will inspect it
- You want a factory-sealed retail box
- Your Wi-Fi cannot present a 2.4GHz band
- You need 4K, or a spotlight that fires on motion
- You want cloud or NAS recording
Entered
Perfect for you if…
- The camera is going up high where nobody will ever run a finger over it
- You would rather put the difference towards a second camera than towards a tidier shell
- You want 2K solar coverage and you are relaxed about cosmetics
- You are covering a shed, a side gate, a carport or a back fence
- You want it running today, standalone, with no hub and no subscription
- You want an Australian warranty and an Australian person to talk to
The entry form
Four lines and it is on the bench
About ten minutes, one drill and no electrician. Nothing here needs a licence or a ladder taller than the one you already own.
Entry 1
Charge it first
Give it a full top-up over USB-C on the kitchen bench before it goes anywhere near a ladder.
Entry 2
Enter it in the app
Open the eufy Security app, add the camera, and join it to your 2.4GHz network while you are still standing next to the router.
Entry 3
Pick the sunny spot
Walk the wall at midday and find where the sun actually lands. Mark it with the sticker in the box, drill, and fix the bracket.
Entry 4
Set the detection zones
Clip the camera on, aim it, then trim the activity zones and sensitivity so the neighbour's cat is not filing reports at 3am.

Over the PA
Announcements from the ring
Crackling through the tannoy between the woodchop and the ute muster — the questions we actually get asked.
📣
What does “Manufacturer Renewed” actually mean?
The unit was previously used, returned, and then refurbished, tested and graded through the manufacturer's own renewal programme. It is not new and we do not describe it as new. The grade on this listing is the grade they assigned.
📣
How marked is a “Good” one, really?
Visible. Scuffs and light scratches on the plastic housing — the kind of wear a camera picks up from a season on a wall and a trip back through a returns box. Nothing cracked, nothing missing, nothing that changes what it does. If you want cosmetics closer to new, the Excellent listing is the one; if you want the cheapest way in and do not care at all, look at Fair.
📣
What is the difference between this and the Excellent and Fair listings?
Same camera, same specs, same 12-month CamGuard warranty on all three — the difference is cosmetic grade and price. Excellent is near-new with light handling marks possible. Good (this one) has visible scuffs and light scratches and works perfectly. Fair is clearly marked, fully functional, and the cheapest way in.
📣
Does it come in a retail box?
No. Renewed units ship in non-retail packaging, packed to travel safely. If you need original retail packaging, this is not the listing for you.
📣
Do I need a HomeBase or a subscription?
Neither. The S220 runs standalone on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi through the eufy Security app, records to its own 8 GB of built-in storage, and eufy states there are no monthly fees. A HomeBase 3 is optional if you want expandable storage.
📣
How long does the battery actually last?
eufy quotes up to three months standalone from the 6,500mAh battery, with the 0.9W panel topping it up in the sun. That figure is for a new unit under eufy's conditions. This is a renewed camera with a used battery, so treat it as the ceiling rather than a promise — cold, heavy motion traffic and a shady wall all shorten it.
📣
Is it 4K? Does it have a spotlight?
No to both. The S220 is a 2K camera (2560 × 1440) with infrared night vision and no spotlight. If either of those is a dealbreaker, look at a different model in the range and we will happily point you at one.
📣
Who covers the warranty if it plays up?
We do. It is CamGuard Australia's own 12-month in-house warranty — not a manufacturer warranty — and it operates in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Faulty or not as described inside 12 months and we cover the return postage. Have your order number and the serial off the camera handy when you message us.
📣
Can I change my mind?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Change-of-mind returns are buyer-paid on the return postage and the original shipping is not refunded. Back to us unused and complete, please.
📣
Where does it ship from, and how fast?
Townsville, Queensland, dispatched within one business day. Australia Post Express is included on every order over $99.00.
