eufy Security SoloCam S340 Dual Cameras Solar Security Camera Outdoor Wireless, 3K Home Security Camera, 360° Surveillance, No Blind Spots, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, HomeBase 3 Compatible (Renewed)

I have one of these S340 cameras set up and working through a Eufy Homebase 3, which records the camera event videos on its SSD. The data connection is WiFi. The camera's battery is topped up by the included solar panel. The set up has operated for a month without problem, including one week when we were away on holiday. It is attached in the shelter of a balcony (so I cannot comment on how weather-proof it is) and looking at our back garden. The wide angle lens and the motion detection function have good fields of view. Installation was straightforward - I like the included mounting widget, which allows the camera to be pointed as required. Set up was easy, although the system's reporting of signal strength is a bit twitchy. The wide angle, telephoto and night (B&W unless the camera's light is turned on) views are crisp and good resolution. I can use the pan and tilt function from my mobile. I can view live the back garden or review any event videos on my Android mobile. I also have the app on my PC but that's more fiddly to use. I have used the AI which now recognises family members. The human detection is OK but while we were away it did once register an inquisitive bird as human! Despite it being winter, the solar panel keeps the camera battery fully charged. That said, I have the panel located so that it has a good view of any sun we get. I am happy with this camera. If it continues to function as at present I will be delighted.

Easy to install and set up with my Eufy homebase.

If you are going to buy this and expect the same functionality as the Eufy E340 but without the wiring then I have to disappoint you. The E340 is vastly superior to this because as a wired floodlight it has powerful lamps, out of bounds PIR to detect movement where it isn’t filming, and it even has a cruise mode to periodically patrol left and right for potential threats. This S340 solar cam has none of those features. It has the same dual lens zoom capabilities, but because it is battery powered, the features I mentioned above were omitted from this device so it can preserve battery. This is a shame for those who want the same features, but I think the compromise for the battery life is a necessary evil. However, this camera does still have AI tracking to follow detected subjects and the zoom is still very good. If you do not want to drill to wire the floodlight, this is your best battery option as no other battery camera can beat it in terms of functionality. The solar panel it comes with is also incredibly efficient, charging the camera even with an overcast so battery is topped up. All in all, if you keep your expectations in check this is one of the best battery cameras for the money. The spotlight built into it is quite pathetic, only enough to record the subject in colour but not illuminate surroundings well. If you pair it with a separate cheap solar powered floodlight and set the camera to record motion then this can become a great combination for capturing people at night

After a lot of looking I decided I didn’t want the hassle of a wired security system and I’m really glad I went for this one. I have two outside my house and another style Eufi camera in my house and they do not disappoint . The day and night vision is very clear and easy to set up. You can set zones to record and set privacy areas with a black square to preserve your neighbours privacy . Only 3 screws needed to mount and the camera then clips in place making it easy to take down if needed. The solar panel either fits direct to the camera or there is an extension lead so it can mounted higher then the camera which I wish I had done and would recommend. It doesn’t need to be mounted to high . I’d recommend just above the hight of your window so it’s out of arms reach. It’s also has a 3x zoom making capture even clearer.

I’ve had this Eufy battery-powered, solar-charged camera for a few months now. It’s a well-built piece of equipment - solid design, easy setup, and it worked fine through the summer, charging to 100% almost every day. However, as I’m writing this (3 November), the battery is down to around 68% and dropping 1-2% daily. It’s hard to tell if it’s charging at all since the solar panel dashboard has stopped working - a known issue that’s been discussed on Reddit for over a year, and Eufy still hasn’t fixed it. I’m using the "Optimal Surveillance" mode, but it doesn’t seem to record full sequences, which really undermines its purpose. Overall, it’s a nice gadget, but practically useless for proper surveillance. Nothing beats a wired power setup - I have four other Eufy cameras that are permanently powered, and none of them have these issues.

I have 3 of S340.They are brilliant,look no further.They work alone or with HomeBase.No subscribtions,solar power really work,notification to your phone,rotate,zoom,cristal clear image,you can activate the light,alarm.Is doing what it says on the tin,and then some.☆☆☆☆☆

I now have two of these and the dual camera doorbell PLUS the central storage server. They all work brilliantly and with the server they track everything together from one to the other. The solar panels mean that there’s no wiring to worry about out and, having had the first one through the winter, keep the battery topped up nicely. The doorbell camera is just as good and really does protect your parcels on the doorstep.

I'd seen these on YouTube. Having fitted both cameras over the weekend it's been my first day to try. Fitting was easy. The app wasn't hard to understand and you don't have to pay for subscription. I went for the refurbished ones rhat are 20% cheaper and the only thing I could see was the box was slightly damaged. Would recommend 5*****

Handige, veelzijdige camera met een goed scherp beeld. Is zowel met een HomeBase (3) als standalone te gebruiken via de smartphone app. Installatie is een kwestie van rustig aan en goed lezen.

Installation super facile comme toujours sur cette marque. Résolution impeccable. Plusieurs options de diffusion possible. Je ne regrette pas mon achat

Top Kamera in verbindung mit der Home Station. Bild und Ton in sehr guter Qualität.

Facile à installer. Belle image, même de nuit. Le panneau solaire recharge la batterie qui ne descend jamais en-dessous des 90%. L’association avec la Homebase 3, la rend plus efficace et augmente la portée du Wifi.
