*Eufy has now updated this camera so that you can set up the LTE connection as a backup and will automatically kick in when your WIFI is out.* -ruclips.net/user/shorts9PU9XLfyW7Q?si=hqdykKZ2ZG-ARrgW
They should be able to add animal detection pretty easily I would imagine with a firmware update. Definitely agree that having the 4g as a backup option to wifi would be excellent.
It can be had with home base3 my assumption that is they don't have it directly on the camera solo because they probably just want you to buy the home base 3.
I've purchased 2 sets of Eufy camera kits based on your reviews. The eufy security eufyCam 3C 4-Cam Kit, Security Camera Outdoor Wireless, 4K Camera, with the accompanying solar panels. Overall Ive been happy with the cameras. However, I have to point out that out of each set, I now have one camera from each, that is not updating and not working. When I contacted Eufy for support, I was told that the cameras are made by different manufacturers and there is a discrepancy in the quality of the cameras. I think this is an issue you should check into
You're reviews are so good, quick and to the point. As a thought, why don't they produce color night cameras from here on forward and stop producing gray scale night mode as I would presume current day black and white cameras are becoming obsolete such as hollywood silent movies. Hmm
Fantastic review as usual! Thanks for looking at these inivative consumer options. Just wondering is there a projection on what the 4G would cost somebody per month per camera?😊
No animal detection?? OK, thank you. I'd never buy this one. I have 8 other Eufy indoor and outdoor cams, can't believe they removed the animal detection on a most expensive Eufy cam.
So this stores all the footage on the SD card so you don't need a service like with Ring? How does the resolution compare in general to that of Ring 1080p?
I noticed you did not explain, if you set this camera up using the 4G. Will the camera back up on the home base or will you have the memory card. I believe the SIM card would be a better use for my issue because it's an outside camera. In my area a lot of people have been using the WiFi jammers. We have been informed that this does not affect your cameras if you have a SIM card in it.. but I do have a lot of eufy cameras . And I would consider using the home base with this camera. So the camera only works with the home base if it's Wi-Fi only it does not work with the home base with the SIM card. Can you clarify that for me.
Are there any solar/battery powered Ite cameras that can live stream to a private website? Would there be any bandwidth issues if say 50-150 ppl view the stream at same time?
Love your channel since finding it! I was really hoping this camera would be the right one for my use case. However, no animal detection is a deal breaker. What do you recommend for a solar-powred Wi-Fi camera with AI animal detection? PTZ would be nice, but not a requirement. Thanks!
They should start implementing an AI feature that recognizes first person entering the shot then follow up with the 2nd person goinh in opposite direction (for 3-4 seconds) than quickly go back on the 1st one. I don't know how that might serve tho.
Hey! Thanks so much for the awesome review, I’ve a question, have the motion sensor work if the camera is pointing in (x directions) and the a person is coming from behind (like 180 degrees) will the camera detect it and turn 180 to catch the person/motion? Thanks!
One of my cameras is extremely far away from my homebase 3 and has a weak signal. Is there a way to add an extender or boost the signal without moving the homebase ?
I have the s330 4g ptz camera and luv it. Just upgrade the sd memory card that comes with it because it's a Cheap Slow kingston SD card. Get a Sandisk Extreme A2 v30 128gb camera will perform better and load up faster"
@@jacobsebastien3910 hello will other countries sim cards work or only the one they sent ? my country has 5G simcard but i wonder if it'll work on this camera
can you record continuously, or is it once motion detected and once motion detected how long does it record for/ i know certain camera will stop after one or two minutes
Not with battery or solar powered cameras. Motion events only. In the power manager setting, you can have the camera decide how long in will record depending on the motion.. it will stop when it senses the motion has stopped or can set it manually to record up to 2 minutes.
Is it easy to switch from LTE to WiFi? I want to use this at my camp for the summer on WiFi and then purchase the LTE option for my 7 months of off season where WiFi will not be an option, thank you. Great video👍
@@jacobsebastien3910thanks, but does it switch automatically ? Lets say my router failed can I manually switch to 4G remotely once it has been registered?
Nope. It records when it senses motion. If that motion will stand still for a bit, then it will stop recording even if it is in the front of the camera. Unless that person moves and doesn’t stop for an hour..most like you will get short clips. Now if you want it to record an hour or 24/7, you have to look for wired or plugged in cameras and not battery powered ones.
@@LifeHackster reolink is better than you can record motion continuously on sd card, there is an option on that thanks this defeats the purpose, it it stops after one minute or so and there is activity still going on after say one minute or two then it is useless
Eufy has NO multi camera play even through app. They made it so you can only multi stream through a web portal BUT you can only access the view with a 1 time code through the app and access expires after 24 hrs requiring you to get another code ans start over
Nothing replaces a wide field of view. There was a camera that had a wide and telephoto camera that tracked and that is probably the best solution but in most cases I'll take a wide field of view and a 2k or 4k resolution with a decent bitrate over a narrow field of view with tracking. The Arlo Ultra still sits on my house with its 180degree FOV and good enough bitrate, Homekit integration, Apple TV Activity Notification, etc. Yes this is a 4G Solar, and if you need that its probably as good as you can reasonably expect. I just hate Eufy's lack of support for their products. Once you buy their product, they are on to the next product and good luck getting any bug fixes. My S40 cameras still think my German Shepherd Dog is a Person everytime it sees it. From day one, Person only notifications were never working and still aren't.
Hi i am not sure about this one? But I had a " riolink go " bought minutes and wow it drained quickly .

@@somethingkindawonderful3034 They are always shady about it. Don't know why but most of the time they want you to use the sim card that comes with the camera...

Thank you for sharing your experience 👍
I’m not sure. I haven’t tested it. I had issues with ATT before when I tested and bought one of their prepaid ones but this EIOT club one has worked with eufy and Reolink.
@@LifeHackster not sure if you are allowed since the video is sponsored but it will be a good idea to try it with different SIM Cards and share it with us. 👍😁
I was about to say this is amazing... then saw the video quality =( Disappointing 4k. Looked like720p. they get the video quality to true 4k and 30fps its a winner
My eufy s330 4g 4k ptz camera like that one video quality is Much better. I'm guessing it looks like it lost some resolution from uploading it to u RUclips
Me and my brother got this camera for our moms mother's day present thats coming up. so she can put it with her other eufy 4g lte camera thats at her summer vacation property that she is currently renovating so this camera is perfect for her. But I never knew how to pronounce or say e i o t club I always just called it idiot club lol
It’s really a shame eufy is making such good hardware just to wall it into their own ecosystem. If they’d allow RTSP on more of their devices so I could save the recordings to my NAS it’d probably be the only cameras I’d buy.
Wth EUFY no pet detection?!?! That makes absolutely no sense, this is an outdoor camera, the more reason to have such feature. I just bought it and am realizing this so im definitely returning this as soon as I get it... 🤦🏻♀️What a waste of my time. Even my old indoor 360 camera has that feature but not your "New Release" 😂😂 okay 2:062:06 ....
After seeing the video quality, I see zero compelling reason to upgrade to this from the S340 that I currently have which has got the 3K lens and the telephoto 2K lens. And still 15fps.
Great video as always. Looking forward to the comparison video with the S340 camera. Let’s see if there is a difference in video quality between the two cameras.
If you search for the comparison you’re referring to in RUclips, someone else has already done it… and honestly, the s340 looks better, just has less-powerful spotlight. Outside of the LTE capabilities, I don’t see why anyone would buy this newer model.
I have indoor pan and tilt facing outside and so homebase one with cameras. Notifications are sometimes minutes away. Thats really bad as I could be robbed and they got away by then.
Can you do a comparison video of eufy 4G LTE Cam S330 VS SoloCam S340 ? I’ve been trying to watch other videos that do comparisons between those 2 but I can’t get thru their videos. No one does camera review/comparison videos better than you!!
Installed it today. Feel it’s not a mature product. Several problems. 1. preposition can’t hold, lens dropped 1 or 2 clicks sometimes; lens suddenly moving to center position and recording. 2. Can’t detect vehicles if it’s moving fast in my driveway (3 to 5 feet away). 3. Solar panel not working at all. 4. Slow push notifications
Hello LH! I watched your video on the Eufy 4G LTE S330 it was informative. I need a remote camera for some property that I have off the grid and AT&T is the only cellular service that works on my property. Is Eufy the best cellular camera that you recommend for remote video recording when your property is off the grid like mine? Thank you!
You can chat with a Live agent from eiot and tell them you want only att service and they will put it that way. I needed verizon because it had better reception and went on chat with eiot they asked for the imei number and they switched it to strictly Verizon.
Excellent review, thank you very much. Note that the camera movement is very smooth without any noise . I wish the Capster battery could be integrated into the same solar panel.
EIOT club is so uncompetitive price-wise Vs prepaid data only sim card packages. Problem is setting custom APN settings on the old Eufy cam was so bug ridden. I've setup a couple of the older 4g LTE starlite cameras and it always took about 10 attempts for the camera to accept the new SIM card on custom app settings. Would have been good to see a review where you try and connect to a different SIM card.
I have to agree, eufy should definitely connect to the 4g network whenever it loses connection to my wifi router. The night vision is decent, but I just prefer the color night vision like my wyze cam. Overall, this camera is definitely good pick.
I do not have Home Base 3. Can i still use this as a standalone and connect direct to Wifi or would i be better off with something like the Arlo Go 2 ? I do like the idea of a 4G back up
I have a Ring Floodlight Cam that I purchased over 5 years ago. Is there a better option? I also have a newer Floodlight Cam for my backyard that’s about 2 1/2 years old, along with a Ring wired doorbell.
Can we change where we do the testing to make it more real life scenario. You should test in the front yard. Ideally you're worried about someone coming up to your house and then leaving by car. Shooting in the back doesn't really show if the camera has potential to capture important moments
My backyard is my testing ground for the cameras because it is the closest area I can get to be constant and doesn’t change a lot so that you can easily compare the performance of any camera even if I don’t have a direct comparison video. As to your question about if a person came in and left in a vehicle. As long as you set both person and vehicle detection to ON, then you will get a footage.
This is a very solid suggestion to reflect real-world performance testing. I bought two Solocam S340 and HB3 after LH's review, installed them in front of the house, under eaves 3 meters high, then paired with HB3. Hoping to capture vehicles going and coming onto the driveway, also people walking on the front lawn. Oh boy, what a disappointment as they miss lots of events 50% of the time. Even miss recording me mowing the lawn. It's been more than 2 months now and still not happy with these cameras. Solar panel performs well or maybe because the cameras are not working well enough to consume battery. The cameras have updated already with 2 rounds of firmwares but motion detection performance is still below average. It is a let down big time by Eufy and now I am contemplating to bin the cameras and go back to Arlo.
Hi, what camera would you recommend that would detect objects as far as 20 meters and will work from batteries + solar +LTE? What is the best pick in your opinion? Thanks Cheers
Battery powered cameras uses a PIR sensor for motion detection which has a limited range of 20-30 feet for person detection. Wired or plugged in security cameras are your only option if you want it to detect as far a 20 meters.

They have all the animals detection and the same detections on the Wi-Fi mode. It’s only not on the 4G cellular mode.
Animal/Pet detection is only available when you connect either the S330 or S340 to a Homebase 3, and also Face Recognition will then be available

I’ll be comparing both soon. The main difference is the 4G connection and 4K and the S340 has dual lens.

I do not have Home Base 3. Can i still use this as a standalone and connect direct to Wifi or would i be better off with something like the Arlo Go 2 ? I do like the idea of a 4G back up
I have a Ring Floodlight Cam that I purchased over 5 years ago. Is there a better option? I also have a newer Floodlight Cam for my backyard that’s about 2 1/2 years old, along with a Ring wired doorbell.
There are definitely better options. Ring seems to have stopped improving their cameras especially their video quality.
@@LifeHackster Any recommendations?
@@RichieColemanSrhe’s made at least 5 videos answering this question over the last 6 months. Watch the videos!
@@victorvek5227 So you're asking me to watch 6 months worth of videos...? That's like looking for a 💉 in a haystack 😞
Can an antenna be installed to boost the signal strength when using 4G ?
THE PRICE HAhAHAHAHHAHA
WiFi is the best option 😊
Can we change where we do the testing to make it more real life scenario. You should test in the front yard. Ideally you're worried about someone coming up to your house and then leaving by car. Shooting in the back doesn't really show if the camera has potential to capture important moments
My backyard is my testing ground for the cameras because it is the closest area I can get to be constant and doesn’t change a lot so that you can easily compare the performance of any camera even if I don’t have a direct comparison video. As to your question about if a person came in and left in a vehicle. As long as you set both person and vehicle detection to ON, then you will get a footage.
This is a very solid suggestion to reflect real-world performance testing. I bought two Solocam S340 and HB3 after LH's review, installed them in front of the house, under eaves 3 meters high, then paired with HB3. Hoping to capture vehicles going and coming onto the driveway, also people walking on the front lawn. Oh boy, what a disappointment as they miss lots of events 50% of the time. Even miss recording me mowing the lawn. It's been more than 2 months now and still not happy with these cameras. Solar panel performs well or maybe because the cameras are not working well enough to consume battery. The cameras have updated already with 2 rounds of firmwares but motion detection performance is still below average. It is a let down big time by Eufy and now I am contemplating to bin the cameras and go back to Arlo.
Could you do ring vs Vivint outdoor and indoor please
Hi, what camera would you recommend that would detect objects as far as 20 meters and will work from batteries + solar +LTE? What is the best pick in your opinion? Thanks
Cheers
Battery powered cameras uses a PIR sensor for motion detection which has a limited range of 20-30 feet for person detection. Wired or plugged in security cameras are your only option if you want it to detect as far a 20 meters.
@@LifeHackster then what is the best option for wired camera that also have LTE? Thanks
@@LT.tapeheads.service all LTE cameras are battery powered.

@@LifeHackster I'm from Africa and all sims here are 5G networks already so will this camera work ?
