Make it easy: Mount it outside where it gets sun, and it records video to local storage forever. No monthly fees, no cloud accounts, no batteries to change.

What we like

  • Built-in solar panel keeps it charged indefinitely (no battery swaps, no wires)
  • Two lenses: 3K wide-angle for the full picture, 2K telephoto with 8x zoom for faces and plates
  • All video stays on local storage, no cloud subscription required
  • Pans 360 degrees and tilts to automatically follow people across your yard

What could be better

  • Needs a spot that gets decent sunlight, or the battery will drain
  • Requires a HomeBase or microSD card for storage (not included)
  • No option for professional monitoring if that's what you want

Best for

Our verdict

The SoloCam S340 is the best security camera for people who hate subscriptions. The solar panel means you never change batteries. The dual-lens setup means you can zoom in and actually identify faces. And every recording stays on your own storage. One purchase, zero monthly fees, and it actually works well.

No monthly fee

This product works fully without any subscription or recurring cost.
