Eufy SoloCam S340 - Wireless Dual Lens Tracking PTZ Outdoor Security Camera

[@JP-be3dq]

I just bought this camera the other day because of your review. I just have to say, I totally love this camera. You don't have to charge it, and you don't have to pay for service. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Salamat.

[@Ghost-zt8ge]

Could you please answer 3 questions for me, does the camera time out after 2 minutes when you live view Second: can you get alerts on your Alexa with it, I am being told no Third: do you need the home base to enhance the a1 tracking

[@persistentone3448]

I love how efficient you are with time. You just get right to the point as you progress through the video, stating succinctly and clearly each point about the product. Very few other presenters do this, and I appreciate this approach.

[@aliciawang-u2g]

As a battery-powered model, its video quality is impressive and I like the combination of two different lenses.

[@phoyesmanortexas]

I bought this camera after I watched your videos directly from eufy. I ordered it direct from eufy. The camera arrived damaged, I immediately filed a ticket, initially they sent me a bunch of emails to which I sent them all the information, pictures, serial numbers etc. The last email I got said "they have assigned my ticket to a specialist" and then I heard nothing back. I called their support number and stayed on line for hours at a time and no one picks up. My issue is still unresolved and it's been 4 days with no news from eufy's customer don't-care. Also, this makes me think if the camera is fragile enough to break apart in shipping, it is not going to withstand severe weather conditions like hail and high winds which is common in my area.

[@fsp394]

Nice I really appreciate your honest reviews on the Eufy lineup. Based on these reviews I've made several Eufy purchases and will be adding the SoloCam S340 to my setup.

Could you Please do the License Plate in the Night Test? This will be very helpful for users to understand if a License Place is readable at Night...as Bad guys come out at night time...thus test will be VERY Helpful. Appreciate your work.

[@4Shreks]

Actually, most crimes are committed during the day as that's when people aren't home.

[@LifeHackster]

Because this is a tracking camera, it might not have a lot of glare but I will test it in my future videos. Remember be bale to read plates depends on a lot of factors...angle of the camera, distance and glare.

[@sking3646]

@4Shreks that may be true but its also true that many crimes are also committed between 3AM to 5AM...bottom line is the license plate test at night time would be very useful.

[@Arctic5fox]

​@@4Shreksdepends on your location, and crime rate in your area .in my case The dude was checking my garage around 1:00 and 2:00 a.m. looking probably for a lawn mower or tools. The same with my neighbor. After midnight they cut his car converter.

[@sking3646]

@LifeHackster thanks! This would definitely be a great idea to add in all future videos, as many users want to know if license plates can be read on the camera...I have had other 4k camers and was disappointed with the night time vehicle license plate shot.

[@DustyRolle]

I was getting really to abandon eufy. I recently bought a Reolink Trackmix solar version and it's impressive I love it. Buttt this is very tempting to try out this has very compact feeling. I must say I really appreciate your reviews this is my first stop before buying a new product!! I salute you all the way from The Bahamas!!

[@GITSSAC]

So you recommend reolink? I'm trying to decide between them and eufy

[@DustyRolle]

Honestly the Reolink Trackmix battery/solar version has been out for a while now so it's tried testing and proven but, this new eufy I'll wait for some time to pass to see more reviews from users. The only con about the reolink so far for me is, it doesn't send a thumbnail pic with the notification. Overall in general between the variety of Reolink and Eufy solar cams I own, I find that the battery in the reolink cams last much long than the Eufy cams. My Reolinks cams are usually triggered by tree branches all day essentially causing them to record all day and to my surprise the battery level rarely drops below 94%. With my Eufy cams, the batteries drains significantly faster and would end up to 60-70%. Maybe the Reolink solar panel is more efficient as it for sure charges the cams much quicker. But back to this product comparison, after seeing the video performance I would say this Eufy s340 AI tracking is much smoother no jerky panning to track subject it's much more fluid. I do notice though that the Reolink Trackmix hybrid zoom seems to have further zoom, I can read a car license plate 80- 100ft away. Maybe @LifeHackster can do a zoom comparison video to confirm. I don't think you can go wrong with this S340 though I will buy one to test it out since it's such a compact package.@@GITSSAC

[@jameshopkinson3631]

Very quick,minutes. just need to drill the holes once that’s done it’s a case of clicking the camera to the support bracket.

They've definitely improved the sweep for the motion tracking. The floodlight ptz version is choppy, but works least to say. Definitely can see the S340 as an upgrade.

[@mylegsasleep1934]

This camera looks like it’s really good. So much better than what Ring has been putting out. My complaint though, they only come in white? I would really like it in black. Ring makes a black version of their cameras- but I need a better product.

[@Brandon-jy2yl]

I agree100%. I will not buy this in white.

[@mylegsasleep1934]

@@Brandon-jy2yl I ended up getting it despite being white- It completely doesn’t match, but it’s a really good product. I will say though, the delay getting a motion alert, to opening it and seeing the recording is way slower with euphy than with ring. But the motion tracking, PTZ, and zoom lens is really good.

Thanks for your thourough testing, we appreciate your time and effort 👍 I couldn't wait, i just ordered 2x E340 cameras and a homebase 3, my wife wont be happy 😂 Eufy have really raised the bar with these new cameras, does it detect at 40 feet in normal mode or only in dual mode with the zoom lense active ? Im wondering if the zoom lense still detects movement when not in dual mode

[@LifeHackster]

It uses a PIR sensor for its motion detection so it is the same on both view modes.

I'm thinking of mounting on a wall that's facing uphill. But I see that the tilt up of the camera is limited. Can you make a video of installing this on a wall with a wedge / angle mount in between?

The wedge / angle mount is to see if the camera can be installed so it faces upwards more due to limited up tilt.

I liked the tracking performance and the zoom lens. IMO the IQ of the wide video isn't up to par with the rest of the camera. Perhaps its a bitrate issue?

Do I get twice as sensitive motion detection if I put two in overlapping?

We need a follow-up reliability review for this camera specially when paired with Homebase 3. I have 2 of them I bought last December 2023, and 2 months later one of the cameras is experiencing motion detection degradation.

The only thing I suspect is the HB3 AI has become too smart and decided to filter lots of detections - I am really furious with this camera's performance now.

Hey LH I just got my s340 solocam a few days ago and would like to share my experience. I installed it and everything seems to be working just fine. The solocam features such as Pan and Tilt, Preset Positions, Live View, Privacy Zones, Activity Zone, etc. worked to my satisfaction. The solocam recorded each and every event like it should. As I was going through the app I stumbled upon the Edge Connection and decided to bridge the solocam. This is when the solocam started to act up. I'm now getting several error messages each time I connect to the solocam. The error messages were "unable to connect to Homebase (-1), unable to connect to Homebase (-11), unable to connect to homebase (-3), failed to request (1), failed to request (-204), unable to play live video", just to name a few. It also failed to record a lot of motions that should've been captured like it did when I first installed it. Now, most of the recorded videos were incomplete, cut-off, or fast forwarded. I have not encountered any of these prior to the Edge Connection bridging. I decided to remove the solocam from the app and then re-install it. Unfortunately, it did not fix the problem. I already reported this to eufy but the CSR was not able to assist me and had elevated the issue to their engineering folks. Anyway, I thought I would share this experience to anyone considering the s340 solocam. There are obviously a few bugs that eufy need to resolve before shipping this product out. smh.

Or maybe have a chart on your website? Eufy doesn't seem to show notification alert speed on their website . Thanks for all the great work!

As to notifications and Eufy, battery powered ones (the ones that uses a PIR sensor) are usually in the range of 7-10 seconds on the text and 10-12 on the thumbnail. Their wired ones are usually 3-6 seconds text and 6-8 seconds thumbnail. These are the same in both daytime and at night.

Installed mine a couple days ago and today we had a bad rainstorm and now live it sounds like water dripping, muffled like if I were submerged in water and buzzing motor noise when tilting up and down. Hopefully after the rain stops overnight it sounds better.
