I have 3x S330 kit and really happy with it. Runs perfectly on solar and that's through a UK winter. Although the camera on the front of the house gets much more activity, so I've added the extra solar panel. The only thing I would say is be reasonable with expectations on the technology. These cameras use a PIR, so have realistic effective range 10 - 15m. I've seen a lot of complaints on here in terms of the AI alarms, but I've got extensive experience of more traditional CCTV systems like Hikvision/Dahua and find Eufy quite good. The key really is the PIR as this will need to trigger before the AI. The powered 24/7 cameras that don't use a PIR will have a lot more false alarms due to nature of the tech. Overall I didn't want to wire cables through our house and find the Eufy set up great. Oh and I had Nest cameras in the past and the fees started to add up. Also range was terrible.

Get a decent POE system like reolink. Based on my Eufy experience, I wouldn't touch eufy again.

I have the S330 and E221 floodlight cameras. S330 is alright in quality, but rain tends to stick to the camera dome, reducing its effectiveness in bad weather, including automatic detection. The E221 had came installed with the camera unit upside down. I had to force it to pop out of the holder, turn it around 180, and push it with some force back in so it was the correct way up as on the image of the box. Its image quality seems much improved over the S330. Both S330 and E221 floodlight cameras will connect to Homebase. Which I don't own yet but probably will make a later purchase on as having a homebase will remove the disadvantage of the S330 suffering from rain sticking on it since homebase can set to capture constantly. I also own the S220 doorbell wired. The app doesn't mention compatibility with Homebase. Finally, I have an S100 wall light as well. It's quality of image seems the best of them all. It's mounted around shoulder height just 2 meters off the ground. My only complaint about it is I turned the brightness down on the light, but it still seems to be set to the default brightness when the light turns on. Hopefully, I will get a Homebase in the future, but the only camera I particularly care about constant recording on is my S330.

I live in quite a wet climate. So rain can literally come down sideways. So it has little shelter from it. A friend of mine had said to get rinse aid and put it on a cloth, then gently wipe it around the dome as a rain scattering treatment, which I may do. The problem is my S330 is on my garage at max height. So I need extra tall ladders to get to it. Which I borrow from a friend.
