Lovely video. Think I’ll get one. We’ve had a EUFY video doorbell for about 2 years. I think pound for pound it’s the best piece of technology I’ve ever bought. The clarity day and night is superb. We can talk to people at our door remotely even from Italy! It’s just incredible!

With more than 25 years in the professional CCTV branch, I was more then impressed when purchasing the s340 for my summerhouse. I just added a corner mount (from Temu) to use the camera fully! Awesome product!

Our whole house uses Eufy, would definitely recommend, the no subscription is worth it alone, and the tech is good.

I have 2 Eufy cameras and a doorbell and they all work seamlessly with the home hub, great kit is Eufy.

I've got 3 of these cameras and they are awesome. I used to have ring floodlight cameras and converted over at the beginning of the year. They have worked flawlessly and are always fully charged from the solar panel.
The only downside if it is one is that when using the 3 x zoom lens, the camera has to be mounted at at least 3m + off the ground otherwise it cant see very high at a distance.
I also have a home base 3 for recording away from the camera (Without, if a thief stole your camera the footage would go with it).
Within the Eufy family, only the Home base 3 or later work with these cameras so don't get drawn into one of the regular Home Hub 2 deals that come with other cameras. If you add these to your setup they wont integrate.
There is also a 4g version that takes a sim card for remote areas with no wifi.

The range of your router WiFi coverage is obviously crucial. I installed a TP Link DECO Mesh System around the house to help provide the additional coverage AND I fabricated a bracket that mounts on the CORNER of the house so that my solar powered PTZ camera can cover two sides of the house.
I'll admit though that the twin camera setup of your Eufy device is very tempting!

Wow, not one single negative aspect to this camera whatsoever or even a slight criticism! A 100% perfect product from the sponsor of this video that gave him it for free and will probably give him other things for free because of this completely unbiased review. I’ll be sure to buy it immediately and seek no other opinions 😐

Just installed “ eufy “ camera system this week and found the hardest part was obtaining the account necessary 🙄 not a bad product but my battery operated 2c cameras are a bit hit and miss with detection and recording activity. I was also a bit disappointed that that I can’t continuously record as with earlier camera systems and an account is necessary to use them which is not what I want. It appears that these days you can’t just purchase a product and use it, you must have an account which as with the camera systems regularly request access to this and that 😡 I’ll probably look into higher quality cameras on the same system in the future. To date I’d rate my system about 60% satisfactory but I probably purchased the more basic package so we’ll see. Excellent as always Stuart 👍👍

When I first saw the video i checked them out on Amazon and they were £129. After a couple of weeks u decided to purchase and the price was then £179. I have waited a few weeks and lo and behold with the Amazon prime 2day sale they have dropped back to £129. Makes you wonder. Still bought one but glad I waited!!

In your case this might be a solution, but for anyone thinking about getting a security camera, please go for Power over Ethernet and not Wi-Fi. This will give you reliable 24/7 monitoring, especially if you also include NVR to record long term. Whatever brand you go with, make sure there are no subscription requirements for storage, either built in SD card or mentioned NVR.

Having said that, I am really doubtful that a solar-powered camera can work reliably in the UK, especially in northern locations in winter. I have a solar-powered weather station from Ecowitt which also has battery backup (2xAA). There are times when super capacitor in it doesn't get fully charged for several days in a row in winter, when the sun rarely shines without clouds.

[mickwreay]

Used Eufy for years and it's been very reliable.

[andyc]

Thanks Stuart, this looks like a great little unit, I like the fact that it is no subscription too !

PS. We're very proud of you too ! 😉

[jhelotes]

We have had 3 of these cameras in our back yard for over one year. Truly remarkable technology that continues to receive useful OTA updates. They survived Texas hail, torrential rains, very cold winter and heat that’ll fry an egg. Solar power panel charges on overcast days! One of the solar panels is not optimally positioned, yet never runs out of battery power. Internet connection and set up is easy and there are rare disconnects. Keeping an eye on our sneaky puppy, day or night, to stop it digging holes is our favorite bonus. Plus, there was no need for an electrician. Worth every penny!

[Arbe]

Looks really great and not too expensive. Great presentation from you.

[kendallwright]

Thanks for the review. Like many other commentors, I've used eufy cameras for quite some time. Love them. This camera is definitely worth the upgrade cost.

[stephenjames]

I have 2 internal and 2 external eufy cameras, all mains operated though. Been really pleased with them and app is brilliant to use.

[richardstamper]

I have a similar PTZ camera which operates by 4G sim cards. It mean I can put it anywhere and see what's going on. In fact it's on my boat right now and it's powered by solar. Great Tech

[sudo_nym]

This video came along at an uncannily opportune time. Thanks Stuart!

[SH-ONE]

Looks a great camera and I love the solar charging. Would love you to come back on this later in the winter when it's dark and very wet to comment whether it can sustain power in those darker months with such a small solar panel and also whether the constant rain causes any issues.

[Piercedguy]

will be nice to see how it copes with the winter days and lack of sunshine, .i have a eufy doorbell and would maybe one day like to get some security cams.
