    What reviewers say

    SoloCam S220

    Owners rate the S220 highly, mostly for easy setup, clear 2K picture and no subscription. Complaints center on the slow 15 fps frame rate, weak app features and the small solar panel in shaded spots.

    Pros
    • Simple wire-free setup
    • Sharp 2K daytime video
    • No monthly fees for local storage
    • Reliable human detection
    Cons
    • 15 fps motion looks jerky
    • Solar charging struggles without direct sun
    • Only two activity zones
    • App can be slow to load clips

    Blink Mini 2

    Owners rate it 4.4 out of 5 across about 1,500 ratings. Most praise the price, easy setup and clear daytime video; complaints center on subscription costs and motion alerts.

    Pros
    • Quick setup and reliable Wi-Fi connection
    • Sharp daytime image for the price
    • Works well as a cheap second or third camera
    • Alexa integration is simple
    Cons
    • Cloud recording requires a subscription
    • Motion alerts can be frequent or late
    • Night video is softer than daytime
    • Outdoor use needs extra weatherproofing parts

    Questions and answers

    Which is better for outdoor use?
    The eufy SoloCam S220. It is IP67 rated, runs from -4°F to 112°F, and needs no outlet because it runs on battery and solar. The Blink Mini 2 is indoor/outdoor rated but must be plugged in.
    Do either need a subscription?
    The eufy SoloCam S220 does not; it records to 8 GB of on-device storage. The Blink Mini 2 records locally only with a Sync Module, and cloud clips need a Blink Subscription Plan.
    Is the eufy worth the extra money?
    Yes if you need a wire-free camera with no outlet nearby and no monthly fee. If you have power where you want the camera, the Blink Mini 2 at $18.00 does the basic job for far less.
    Which has better video?
    The eufy has sharper 2K video but only 15 fps. The Blink Mini 2 is 1080p at 30 fps with color night vision up to 30 ft, so it handles motion more smoothly.
    Which works with more smart assistants?
    The eufy SoloCam S220 works with Alexa and Google Assistant. The Blink Mini 2 works with Alexa only.
    Which lasts longer on a charge?
    The eufy SoloCam S220, because it has a 6,500 mAh battery backed by a 0.9W solar panel. The Blink Mini 2 has no battery and must stay plugged in.
