That’s a brilliant find!!

Ive been waiting for this for ages.

Hopefully they release a statement confirming it.

I hope this isn’t another homebase2 usb chime moment though

Good question. Like @Samthompsonreviews mentioned, I hope Eufy actually releases something “official” that describes these requirements. Just to note…I believe it requires and app (2.3.0) and homebase (update 2.1.4.4) to see these options.

I have the following

System 2.1.4.4h
App 2.3.0_792

You can use almost any 5v 1.5a or 2a solar panel. I’m currently using a mini solar panel from a solar powered driveway light. Its small and robust and keeps my camera charged. I also have one for the Ring, that was given to me, on another camera and hasn’t had any issues.

And yes Eufy will be releasing their own solar panel come next year 2021.
