Frequently asked questions
Does the SoloCam S220 record continuously?
No. The listing says it does not support 24/7 recording, so it is intended for event-based monitoring rather than continuous footage.
Does it need HomeBase 3 to work?
The listing describes direct Wi-Fi use as one setup option and connection to HomeBase 3 as another. It says earlier HomeBase models are not compatible.
Can it use cloud or NAS storage?
The listing says NAS and cloud storage are not supported. It describes local storage, but gives conflicting 4 GB and 8 GB capacities, so confirm the selected listing's specification.
Will solar charging keep it running?
The listing claims three hours of daily sunlight keeps it running, but customer feedback on solar and battery performance is mixed. Actual suitability depends on the camera's exposure and conditions.
