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.

Does what it says on the tin!

Picture quality is excellent, as is control....BUT it was not made clear that you need the HomeBase 3...I have the HomeBase 2 and it is not compatible.......be aware!

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.

Easy to install and set up - but mine proved unreliable almost to the day that its warranty expired. It now fails to record activity on a daily basis. I wouldn’t bother with this manufacturer if I were to replace it.

Great camera great value

Great system and great support from Anker direct of you get any issues.

Pas toujours simple de vérifier la bonne connexion du panneau solaire même quand le tet du cable dit "ok". Une de mes 3 caméras ne chargeait pas - aucune idée pourquoi - et après avoir passé par deux fois 20 mn avec un contact amazon puis vérifié une à une mes caméras la troisième a fini par détecter son panneau solaire.

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.

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