Good morning, I would like to install my eufy security camera on the mains. so you no longer need to charge all the time. I know nothing about electricity but I was told that I must have a transformer? Do you have a link to buy it. I live in Switzerland.

I have mine on a smart outlet. It is only on for about an hour a day.

I have an electrical outlet installed right near two of my cameras (along the soffit, used for Christmas lights). I just plugged in a small USB block and used a USB cable to power the camera, in the same way you would charge the camera. I am not worried about rain getting in, because the cameras are under the soffit (overhang), and they have been like that for over 2 years without issue, throughout New England winters and hot summers.

What is honestly the difference between plugging in the camera to a USB block vs. using the solar panel? Yes, the block provides power at night and solar doesn't, but otherwise they are exactly the same. I have had my cameras plugged in for years without issue. The only time I really need battery is when the power goes out, and even then, that means that the Homebase is down anyway.
