Eufy E340 VS Eufy S340 - Comparison and Honest Review

A comparison and honest review of the Eufy S340 and the Eufy E340. These 2K and 3K resolution 360 panning cameras are both similar and different. The solar panel of the S340 is great in locations without power, and the E340 is great in locations with power. Both cameras have their pros and cons, and both cameras are better for different locations. What are your thoughts?

Great review, thanks!

[@josephzao6737]

I have Eufy E340 and Eufy S340 (2 of Each). I replaced some PTZ cameras from several years ago that had blistered in the sunlight under high temperatures. The video that you have presented is excellent. Eventually, I intend to get the hard drive station to record with a hard drive and connect to my router. I agree that you explained the two cameras' characteristics, advantages, and similarities. The installation process was straightforward; comparatively, too many items that I have purchased in the past sometimes don’t have clear instructions. The application that goes with the program is marvelous and very easy to work with. I installed these cameras about 30 days ago and saw this video on KZbin. You did a great job, and I wish you the best in explaining some of these items to homeowners and families concerned about the day-to-day observations needed in almost any neighborhood. Well presented. Good luck. (I used Grammarly AI to clean up the writing - a Berkeley Haas tool)

[@guitarhero9592]

Thanks for the great video! Couple questions. Have you run them both with and without the homebase? I’ve been reading some people say the cameras seem to perform better without it. Also on the wired version running continuously, if you want to see a delivery that was made do you have to scroll through lots of footage or do you get a separate detection notification. Thanks

[@martiangod]

Good review, ive had mine up since the release day and its great having 24/7 footage but ive had to turn notifications off because you cant select notifications for humsns only, the app is broken and every time you close the app it activates notifications for all types again such as animals, cars and all motion, also the AI on the homebase 3 is terrible too, it thinks a bicycle, a slide and a huge gazebo roof are all humans plus many random other objects it decides is human on a windy day when things moves a little. Its a pain in the butt

[@trinovantian1]

Great review and narration.

[@googlecloudplatformninjas4378]

Thanks for the great video! I have the E340 and S340 sitting in the box and yet to install on my driveway and backyard - Your videos are to the point and very informative! Would you recommend installing them high enough so it doesnt get stolen? These cameras are so fancy and I am afraid they may get stolen :) Also, what is the ladder you used in your video? I recently bought our first home and I have no ladder - Thanks for your help!

Good review…thank you👍🏿

[@frankricketts6393]

❤ I truly appreciate the way you lay out your videos with primary features & benefits / pros & cons. In the mfg literature & specks it is not clear as to the E340 on & off of the features of the lights. Can the lights be set to on & off at motion only? Automatically at dusk to dawn or can they be set to on & off at will any time? Also with the E340 mounting it under the soffit. I have 6” gutters that drop 3” below the horizontal plane of the soffit. Will there be enough clearance? The existing floodlight junction box is only 1” deep. Most of the details shown in the mfg lit shows wall mount straight forward instructions, but very little details on soffit or ceiling mounting. Mounting the E340 to the soffit will require rerouting the wiring through the top of the camera body. Will the E340 accommodate a soffit mount and will there be a clearance issue with the 3” overhanging of my gutters? Regarding the S340 is there a recommendation for separate gutter mounting brackets to the gutters for cameras, solar panels separately and as one unit. Thanks again for your channel,

[@walterbeland5233]

Nice info, I think I’ll have to run some elect to the other corner of the house to cover all 4.

Good review, thanks. Are you able to offer a brief comparison/opinion to the RING FLOODLIGHT camera? And if you can offer a comparison to RING, which would you consider a better overall camera/system ? Thanks, Greg Schwartz p.s. I’ve been using Ring cameras for several years and I’m considering switching over to Eufy.

Thank you for such a great, useful video. Tried to activate three wireless Arlo Pro 3 wireless camera's and a doorbell into their app - it never found the camera's, the doorbell kept going offline. I've seen a few Arlo vs. Eufy video's and ready to go Team Eufy. Just need to pick the products. Your video on the uses, features, and differences of these camera's was so understandable. I appreciate you, DIYdad!

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Glad it helped!

[@mobarak1975]

Your follower from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, use the translation program. Your explanation is really wonderful. I loved this camera through your beautiful explanation.

[@wldott]

Do the new hardwire models have out of range detection, the older floodlight camera if the camera was looking in one direction in a default position and the motion sensor saw motion 180 degrees in the other direction it would spin and follow the movement. These appear to just have a sensor on the lens side which would mean they might not have that feature which is a selling point on the old version.

[@manster641]

Nice video. Thank you! 1 Question do they sell one with an actual plug or only hardwired?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

I haven't seen anything with a plug.

[@JJ-zo7qx]

Hello, thank you for a well and described video. I have a question for you: Can I uses a home base for solar cameras? Please advise.

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Yes, I have mine hooked up to the HB3

[@4yojay]

thx for the video.. on the s340, do you also use the home base for recordings? And if so how do you like it?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Yes, I’m using the Homebase. I prefer the Homebase as I seem to get allerts faster using it wrather than Wi-Fi.

[@bn8834]

Thanks you for the review. Are the lights on the hard wired camera motion activated? Or do they have to be turned on and off yourself?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

You can set them up in the app to come on and off whenever you want .

[@adijgraham]

Good review, the recommended height is 7-10ft. What height are yours set to?Does your facial recognition still work at that height?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

I've got mine higher, around 12ft. It still doesn't have an issue with facial recognition that I've noticed but ideally you'd want the angle a little lower to get a better shot at peoples faces walking up.

[@guitarhero9592]

Thanks again for the great comparison. Just found your channel few days ago. What’s your recommendation on using a mesh system vs a router for outdoor battery cameras? I’m trying out a new router that I was recommended but signal seems spotty.

[@DoItYourselfDad]

A decent mesh system will definitely have more range than a powerful router. It just depends on how big of a property you’re trying to cover.

[@guitarhero9592]

@@DoItYourselfDad thank you . I have a large backyard and get a big signal loss. I’ll return the router. Any mesh recommendations?

Excellent presentation!!!

[@nightwines]

As for the light on the solar model if you don't have access to electrical and/or don't want to fiddle with adding it and you don't mind the looks you could get a solar floodlight of your choosing and mount it by it/where need be.

[@DoItYourselfDad]

You would still need power of some sort to power the camera, unless you went with the solar one.

Out of all Eufy outdoor cameras,which camera has the clearest picture and farthest detection range?

Great review, thank you. I did not see anything in the comments or a mention in the video - will these work with the new 5GHz Routers? I have the Verizon Cube, I could not connect my Arlo base stations to it according to Arlo support because it wouldn’t connect to the 5G Wi-Fi. Thanks in advance.

[@user-rd9kb6ox1v]

Nice video, but one question,if have a home base, I don't need to insert a microSD card for local storage??

[@martiangod]

If you have a homebase 3 it will record without sd card but motion based recording only, you need to install a 2.5 inch hard drive to get 24/7 recording

[@vikasgupta8882]

Thank you so much for the detailed review, this is very helpful. I have another question and I hope you can help me with your feedback. I am planning to installing the wired variant at my place, however internet is a little spotty at time and the camera might loose the internet connect for some time (2-3 times a week). Does the camera save the clips to the micro SD card when the internet is gone and when it is back online, save that clip on the base? Can you please share your experience on this. Thank you!

[@jashatta1]

In your case get the homebase3 it kind of help where internet fails the home base will keep you connected

[@Skeetersbuzz]

What is the difference between the hard wired Eufy camera’s with the 2 lights in this video and the 3 lights in your other video?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

The big difference is the dual cameras (one wide angle, one zoom)

[@ShadowRaver]

Thanks for the informative video. Do you know if Eufy fixed the issue where if you hold the sync button to reset the cameras that it tends up not only removing the camera from your network but also deleting the footage that was recorded with that camera?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Yes, that was fixed with a firmware update.

[@18C_Sapper]

Is the E240 camera Wi-Fi even though it’s hard wired. Great video

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Yes, it’s WiFi, or it can be connected wirelessly to the home base.

[@MegaNischal]

Thank you for the informative video, I need one thing to clarify, If I purchase the Eufy S340 (Solar) and connect it to the home base, will it record 24-hour footage in the home base or only when there is motion?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

The solar one will not, the one that has contact power can.

[@user-ts1vt6nl9i]

Tho it can swivel around, say it stops at 185 degree south and someone walks up from the back side, say 300 deg NW side, will it trigger and swivel to him and record? Or will he have to come into the face of camera to trigger?

[@mbelar2618]

Nice video, can we connect the S340 to USB adapter permanently.

[@PyleZAP97]

From what I have found out...Yes. the included solar panel uses a port for charging the batteries. The S340 comes with a short weatherproof adapter cord, that let's you plug any USB-C cell phone charger into.

[@kear3922]

Hi Great video, can you tell me if the E340 records 24/7, in other words works non stop and if you want to look back say 3 hrs ago you can? or does it need to trigger the motion detection to record, hope this makes sense.

[@weldsouth14]

Yes it does, I have two of them. I have the cloud back up but for 24/7 recording you do have to have a micro sd card in for local storage for 24/7 recording but then all those recordings go to the cloud for 30 days after the fact.

[@martiangod]

You can record 24/7 to the homebase 3 if you insert a 2.5 inch ssd or hdd or you can use a micro sd card inside the actual camera

[@birdsnest7883]

Does the wired camera light stay on when it’s activevated? Or does it shut off after nothing been moving for a while?

[@TomTomasetti]

Thanks for the review. The folks at Eufy tell me that the E340 has the Patrol feature but the S340 does not. In your replies to comments you say that they both have Patrol. I'll be mounting the camera on the corner of my house (270 degrees) so the patrol feature is a must. Does the S340 have Patrol?

[@E96]

By patrol you mean tracking motion?

[@armourbl]

I really like these Eufy options. I feel like they are trying to offer customers good options for various scenarios. But I've also read a lot of people complain about the motion sensors not always picking up activity. And that is a huge problem. I really like the concept of their products and base station without a subscription. But I'm just not motivated to spend the money knowing they haven't solved these problems.

[@jeansalvador1179]

Very interesting. How do you secure your camera against theft when it is installed so low?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Both are screwed to the wall, there is also a tampering alarm you can setup in the app.

[@vincebaker3384]

Hello I am considering strongly on getting the one that is wired I want to put it above my garage door that faces my street I'm going to wire it into where my garage door plugs into on the other side. On the outside my house has vinyl siding and 3/4 in sheathing underneath it. I know I will have to drill holes through the siding and into the sheathing but I'm not really sure how to do this without crushing the siding it is very thin and brittle. Any suggestions?

[@Eyball1972]

Does the S340 have an SD card slot? Looks like only the spotlight one does.

[@darrenhull3215]

Hi very informative video many thanks for that. I bought the E340 recently to replace my nest camera and standalone drive light on PIR. Question is if the Eufy works well, I would consider changing my doorbell camera from blink to Eufy, can they share a Homebase?

[@StressedSeeker]

How has the E340 held up? Thoughts? I’m thinking about purchasing on Amazon! It’s on sale right now for $160

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Yes, they can share a homebase, you can connect up to 16 camera devices to the HB3. I have everything connectrion thorugh my HB

[@darrenhull3215]

So glad I bought the Eufy, so impressed with it, will be switching to the Eufy doorbell and HB3 as soon as I can.

[@cwhite6645]

FYI - the HB3 will only store continuous recording from 4 devices.@@DoItYourselfDad

[@greenfrogy]

Is there lag in motion detection before starting to record ? was camera slow to record when person came within sight ?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

I didn’t notice any, there is a lag between sensing motion and getting a detection, but I didn’t notice a lag in the start of the recording,

[@devilscut7564]

what voltage is the wired camera

[@FaiyazQuadri]

Thank you for the detailed video. Supper helpful. QQ, please, does S340 have a security alarm like E340? Please let me know. Thank you. Does anyone know the answer, please? Thanks

[@DoItYourselfDad]

I just checked on mine, yes it does.

[@antonydanby]

How do these PTZ cams detect people of they are walking to the side of where the cameras are currently pointing, so if the person is out of the main and zoomed cameras field of vision, do they have some kind of 360 degree's PIR sensing ? Sorry this may seem like a totally dumb question, but I am new to security cams

[@josephlee1255]

Great question and I'm surprised the video didn't cover this. The E340 floodlight camera has two PIR sensors, so it is able to detect movements outside of the camera's default view and point to it (out-of-view detection). It even allows you to adjust the range of each PIR sensor (left vs right). The S340 does NOT have a PIR sensor, so it can only follow movement once it's detected within the camera's view.

[@skuzzb1]

That was a great question because I was wondering the same thing

[@huntinggreys2484]

Hi I've just bought 2 of the electric cameras and got electrician coming to hard wire both so just quick question does the cameras get plugged into sockets ?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

No, no into sockets, they are hard wired into the boxes.

[@eustacebanks6496]

Do these work with the homebase 2?

[@alvaromendaro]

Hello, Ive browsed through most of the comments to see if my question has already been posted, but no luck: What happens when you dont have the home hub and use only local storage on the camera in this situation: Someone comes along and just pulls out the entire camera rig or damages the camera to a point where there is no wifi or power connection anymore. I get a notification, but do the clips that get transmitted to the app, get STORED on my phones app? If not, it would mean that once the wifi connection is lost, i can no longer access previous footage? All the robber has to do is cut its power supply and I dont have access to the recording history? So I cant identify anybody unless the camera remains functional until i want to retrieve footage? i hope my question was clear enough. Thank you for the reviews and your personal engagement in answering the comments!

[@Yo-HoLD-mY-WeeD]

Can you use this s340 cam with the homebase 3 that comes with the s300 cameras? Thank you.

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Yes, that is how I have it hooked up at my house

[@Ghost-zt8ge]

So on the solar panel camera if you have a homebase does it automatically record 24/7? Or only during motion?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

No, only the wired one has 24/7 recording.

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

*QUESTIONS* 1: How far from the router can the SoloCam S340 connect? Since it is wireless, I'm thinking of putting one way out in the back yard. Does Eufy give any specifications about WiFi range? 2: Can the E340 lights be set to turn on and off at specific times? 3: Can the E340 be set to have a low brightness when it's on, then turn on bright when motion is sensed?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

I’ve noticed I’ve had about 75-100ft of range with these cameras, but it will also depend on walls, interference etc. I’ve noticed better range when connected to the hub. You can setup a light schedule for the light, I currently have mine to be on low from dusk to dawn and get brighter if it senses motion.

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

Get yourself a mesh network, if you haven’t already. Easily spans 1/2 acre lot. If your lot is bigger, you may need to add another access point but mesh is the way to go.

[@dave24-73]

You could try a long range access point like the ones Unifi make (LR MODEL) I’m sure there are other options, but these are quite affordable and should cover an average garden.

[@rguttfield]

Hi, you showed how long it took for the alert message to get to your phone, but when did the camera start recording as surely that is what matters most? Thanks

Exactly what I was thinking. I have a Reolink at my front door and I lose people behind posts because of how long it takes to start recording.

Great video! Just got the wired E340 but I’m noticing it rarely detects anything at night including passing vehicles. However daytime detection is great. Any suggestions? I’ve already set detection to the highest, reset it removed and added it back to app etc. is it time I call Eufy?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

How high off the ground do you have it mounted? How far away are the vehicles you are trying to detect?

[@guitarhero9592]

@@DoItYourselfDad I have it a little over 8 feet high onto my wall above my garage. Passing vehicles are about 18 feet away as there’s no sidewalk. The strange thing is I installed my S340 I have in my backyard in the same area to see if it has nighttime detection problems but it detects every single passing vehicle. I emailed Eufy support over a week ago telling them my findings and have yet to hear back.

[@BhavanaShah24]

Good presentation! Can you please advise: (1) if the video recording is saved and if so, for how much period? Saved on our local mobile phone or some cloud website? (2) Also if its not solar powered one, then is the source of power, battery-operated or electric supply? (3) If battery-operated how long does the battery last? and how easy it is to recharge the battery (assuming its rechargeable battery).? (4) If its electric, does it needs drilling holes in the home walls to connect the camera wires to the power supply source within the home?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

If you are using these without the base the video is stored until the memory card onboard is full, so it will depend on how large the card is in the camera. If you are using the base it will record until the base is fill (I have a year + of footage on my base). In both cases it will loop record, deleting the oldest footage to record new footage. On the non-solar one, there is no battery, it needs to be hard wired and is designed to be mounted to a junction box so you would need a J-box to install it to. If you don't already have power in the location and don't want to modify your house I'd go with the solar unit. Even if there isn't direct sun light, you can remote mount the panel or take it down to charge it via USB.

[@hardtorn]

What his the wifi range for these cameras? I’m trying to figure out if either of these would work on our detached garage. It’s about 40-50’ from hour wifi router.

[@DoItYourselfDad]

40-50ft shouldn't be an issue. With these cameras they are about 40ft from my router and still have a very strong connection,.

[@j.9306]

so I bought the S340 4 camera and 2 S tilt dua camera wireless, 2 days ago, and i just purchased the e340 after watching your video , because i like the continues recording, can i use the E340 and add the S wireless camera together in one home base. i saw 2 video stating their are not compatible..

[@DoItYourselfDad]

If you have the Homebase 3 you can connect them all to the HB3. It can handle up to 16 cameras I believe.

[@josephs6715]

Do you think i should replace my light on the front of my house with this and use this as a light/camera, I'm really considering the wired for that reason it continues recording and powered flood light

That’s exactly what I’m using the side yard one for, the ability to change color, temperature and color intensity of the light has been really nice as an ambient light in the side yard.

[@DeeDee-rr3sn]

Hi wondering what made you choose these two camera's? Did you purchase or receive for free? Oh great video 😊

[@DoItYourselfDad]

I reveiced these from Eufy to test (hence the paid promotion stamp on the video). I do my best to give honest reviews and point out the pros and cons. I used these two becuase I wanted cameras that tracked, the solar one on the front of my house was used where it is becuase I don't otherwise have any power where I installed it. With it's location I still havn't dipped below I full charge. The other one took the place of a standard light so I already had power in place .

[@DeeDee-rr3sn]

Sorry, I guess I missed the paid promotion stamp. Have you tried any other solar ones?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

I’ve had a couple in the past, most recently Wyze cameras. As far as solar ones go Eufy has been the most robust.

[@distilledfreedom1840]

Can the light be disabled for the S340/solar camera? If I wanted it to be hidden and stealth? My wife is home alone in our cabin deep in the woods at night while I'm at work. I just need something that notifies my phone if someone is approaching the house. No wiring option, so the S340 seems like the first camera to get if I wanted to add more and a base station in the future. I'm hoping our satellite internet will be enough to keep it running. Thanks!

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Yes, the light can be disabled and you can set the camera up to just run with night vision instead. If connectivity is an issue I am currently playing around with one of their cameras that connects via WIFI but can also use cellular data as well.

[@KDawg-lh5dy]

Anyone know how high you can mount either of these cameras where they will remain effective?

[@SolidSnake-bt8eq]

8 ft low 15 ft high

[@vaporwareproducts]

How does the tracking function work in how far/wide does it scan to “find” images to track? Like if the camera is pointed at the right side of my house (by chance) does it still scan the left side at the same time to find new images? Or does it just self center and scan (for your front it would be around 180 degrees)? If yes how far is the “sensing” field of scanning (maybe in degrees? I know it says 360 degrees, does it sense 360? I would like to understand how the coverage sensing works so I don’t create dead spots. Thanks!

[@DoItYourselfDad]

It will only start recording and scanning once something is in frame. You can have the non-solar one pan back and fourth keeping an eye on things (can't do this with the solar one). You can set it up to have preset points it scans back and fourth from.

[@VelosterRally16_UV]

For the tracking does it it need to be connected to the homebase? Or does this feature still work just over wifi?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

It will still work over wifi, with these the AI is the same in camera as it is in the base, the base just adds additional storage.

[@edwardrogers-wright1604]

Which of the two cameras ...

[@wheiliang]

Do they have patrol modes? Scanning the preset angles on routines?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Yes, they do. You can set preset directions and areas you want the camera to sweep between.

[@gilleslafreniere]

Looks like a good choice; I wonder about ice, snow, hail, rain, sunbleach resistance throughout the seasons. Is it for nice Texas weather or will it be suitable for Canada and the cold? Also, I'm looking for a cloud video saving solution, or, is the local saving solution good?

[@gilleslafreniere]

Also, can the wired one be installed under the soffit, that is, vertically?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

I can only speak to the heat (I live in the desert) my original Eufy cameras that are several years old now are still going strong putting up with the desert heat. The local storage is a decent solution, the only issue would be if you wanted an off site backup. That is available but it costs.

I need help! My Eufy Floodlight Cam 2 Pro has worked flawlessly for nearly two years but recently has become very erratic. About 1/2 the time, when I access the camera via my iPhone or iPad, it's pointing straight down to the concrete of the driveway instead of at the present default position showing my driveway, front yard, and front door. Eufy has been unable to find a solution. They just said I can buy a new one since my current one is out of warranty. Has anyone else had this problem? I've tried everything (recalibrate, restart, I even went up the later pushed the button on the back of the unit, and started the process all over from scratch); nothing has solved it. I'm frustrated because sometimes (1/2-1/3 of the time) it's showing the proper default scene but the majority of the time it's pointing straight down at the concrete of my driveway. Argh!!

I do not mind there is a 10 second delay in notification, but does the recorded video catch the subject? I mean that can I go to the video clip and find out what happened.

[@DoItYourselfDad]

There is no lag in the start of the filming, just a delay in the notification.

[@royjohnson9043]

what do you think about the s330 floodlight cam?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

I really liked it, I actually gifted it to my parents, and it’s chugging away in their side yard right now. Eufy Floodlight Cam 2 Pro - 360 degrees of awesome? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIrIhXengttgbq8

[@dannyrobinson1083]

Does the E340 spot light work as a motion sensor or does it have to be turned on and stays on? I know S340 has a motion sensor light.

[@DoItYourselfDad]

With the E340 you can set it up either way. I have it setup to be on but very low at night, then when it senses motion it kicks up to high.

[@Goodellsam]

During daytime, does it turn the light on?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Yes, mine is setup to be on dusk till dawn, but it can be setup with specific times as well.

[@Ibiky_Stern]

Hi, nice video, thank you. Wanna buy s340 with homebase 3 and some other cameras. How easy homebase connection and setting up ? Thanks a lot

[@DoItYourselfDad]

The HB setup is very simple, you just need to connect it to your router.

[@Ibiky_Stern]

@@DoItYourselfDad thanks a lot :3

[@Faultyappliances4]

Could anyone take the wired security camera off? My front lights are not high enough. Thanks . Have you tried any other brands without subscription for surveillance cameras and security?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

The wired one would require tools to remove, the wireless one would be a little easier as it just clips into the mount and be unclipped. Some of their other cameras (not these) have a theft deterrent feature where an alarm sounds if the camera is tampered with.

[@user-dx9uh3de3m]

Hi, i live in the uk, I've had the S340 camera for 6 days now, and I have big problems with it. 1. It is not charging via the solar panel.? 2. Recording is only being triggered by humans, no other motions at all, ie cats, dogs etc ( do I need HB3 for this)? 3. The camera is mounted about 8 feet high, but only records what is in view at the bottom half of the screen, nothing further away. ? Thanks

[@jashatta1]

Well the homebase would be needed and also you need to charge the camera fully first before connecting it outside to power off solar. The solar is to maintain it @100 and not to charge from zero to 100

[@hannahadkins6190]

Does it have to be in direct sunlight?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Yes, it does. They do have remote mounting kits if you need to mount the solar panel in a different direction or in a different area to get direct sunlight though.

[@D0TELL]

How do these cameras do when looking at a live view in pitch black. With no motion happening.

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Depending on how they do, quite well. When you go into live view you can have the camera setup to turn on the flood light or the IR lights.

[@D0TELL]

Would these be good for somewhat narrow side of a house?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

They would, but if you only have to look one way the eufy stationary cameras would also do the job and are a lot cheaper.

[@VictorYepello]

I read that 7’ is the optimum height for a security cam. Do you agree?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Yeah, I would. You don’t want the camera so low that you only see the tops of heads. On the flip side, that does put the low enough it could be tampered with.

[@brendonroberts7241]

Does either camera require WiFi? I’m considering installing on rental property.

[@DoItYourselfDad]

In order to get alerts you would need some sort of internet connection. The system will work without internet connection (though you will need it for setup).

[@General.Audience]

What camera do you prefer, the Eufy s340 compared to the s330? And why?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

They're totally different application, so both have their pro's and cons. For me, since my base station is powered by a battery backup I prefer the solar camera becuase everything will still run in a power outage.... but not everyone will have their base setup like that.

[@frankricketts6393]

I’m curious, which base station do you use and what backup battery system do you use for your base station?

[@edwardrogers-wright1604]

Hi. If I don't have the hb3, can I subscribe for cloud storage, and will I get the ai etc. features?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Yes, you will. And you don’t actually have to pay a subscription fee to use these without the base.

[@rgray318]

Do you need the HomeBase with eight S340 cameras?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

No, you can also connect via Wi-Fi.

[@haseebsiddique1025]

Do both of these work with home base 2?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

No, only with the HB3, but you can also run both of these over your wifi network as well.

[@iAmD1nko3]

@10:11 you say let's look at what kind of footage they capture in the dark and don't show footage LOL! Was curious about how the solar one looks at night...

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Shoot! Bad editing on my part. I will try to get a clip for for you shortly.

[@MX-5_RF]

I was waiting to see the night comparison too

[@DoItYourselfDad]

@@MX-5_RF I just got back in town a few minutes ago, Im going to have some night time shots up very shortly.

[@xlavahott4547]

So what happens when they break in and take your Homebase station.... Secure?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

You're out of luck.... best thing to do is secure the HB in a cabinet or safel.

[@RigginTheRod010]

Nice Colorado

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Thank you!
