This the best camera I ever had for sure
Awesome. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Your video answers all my questions. Good video
Awesome! Thank you!
great video, thanks for the info.
You’re welcome.
Hi, it's me again. Thanks for the prompt reply. Please, after a power outage, do the footages already in the cameras load automatically to the hb3? I'm researching to purchase and we do have outages in my country ...
Hi there, thank for the video. Question, can I add this cámara to Echo Show 10 (3rd Generation) 10-inch Smart
Display with Alexa. Thank you
Is there any difference or benefit using the homebase or does it perform the same? Thanks
Does it go offline a lot like the wyze camera?
This quality camera use to be $700+ just a few years ago!
Hi loved the video, Tell me what storage did you and was it difficult to setup?,Thanks
Its all in the video - 03:40 It's just a few clicks to setup.
I have a eufy 2.6 W solar panel that says it's compatible with all solo cams. can you tell me if it will work with the s340 solo cam as it uses slightly less wattage.
I have the solo cam s340 and the T8530 doorbell cam and they both constantly miss events. The door records to the doorbell chime SD card and the outdoor cam records to the Homebase 3. I have checked all settings / firmware updates and still cant figure out why they miss events. Anyone with these issues?
can I use usb c hardwired insted solar looks like is possible?
Anyone have a general WiFi distance max for this camera? Does the app notify you when camera spots a person? and can you watch live? thanks
Hi , I’ve this camera and she suddenly stop working , so I wanted to reset factory this one but don’t know how to do it , can u help me ?
When shopping for the HB3 expansion storage drive, what specs does the does the drive need to install in the HB3? Sorry, I'm not good enough to tell by looking at the video. Thanks in advance!
Any 2.5” SATA HDD or SSD will work. Here is the one I got- amzn.to/3O6e6ii (affiliate link)
It doesn't notify me.after midnight. My settings are not set up for it to do that.
Just bought this today. Will update on my experience in 7 days
if you turn off ur router does it stop recording
its been more than 7 days
been a month bro
Dude
It’s been 3 years
Smart integration but it's a no without HomeKit integration. From official site it says only support Alexa, Google Assistant.
Correct, no Apple Home intergration.
I see you have a synology. It would be cool if they could record to surveillance station or at least off load backups to the synology with an app or plugin.
Some of there older camera had a NAS feature but I think they took that away so they could sell & force people to use the HB3.
I have a homebase 2 and have it backup to my qnap Nas where I have it saved on there for 1 year so don't have to worry about the limit of 16gb. I probably could have bought a cheap usb drive but that just becomes more hassle.
@@grumpySafa That's pretty sweet. Are you techinally backing up the HB2 to the NAS somehow (i don't see that option) or are you doing RTSP from the camera to your NAS, which I read on reddit you can do both, a HB2 and RTSP to a NAS? If are backing up the HB2 directly, how are you doing it? Unfortunately, eufy's newest cameras with dual lenses (like this one in the video) don't have an RTSP/NAS option at all.
@@ModernDayTech I setup this around 2019 when Eufy was still in it's infancy. Also on my Qnap I got a free Qsurveillance license to use their application. In the application you can scan for devices or manually type in the configuration info. I put in my homebase IP and after setting it up I started capturing the footage. It didn't pull in historic files, only newer captures.
Does the camera detect motion 360 degrees or only where it's lens is currently pointing?
Where it's pointing then once it's activated it follows the person til out of frame
How do you access/view the recorded events via the local storage?
From the events tab. You can filter down to the device and date. You can also click little box (with a number in it) on the thumbail of device to automatically filter to only that device.
I have a 20 feet front garden, can you set it to ignore passing cars?
Geofencing .. I think so ( call the company to verify )
I have a s40. It sucks. I live in central america always sun and the battery wont last 2 week. And than the worst part. Once its empty the solar doesnt charge the battery so u have to get on the ladder again take the cam off charge it put it bavk. Also the alarm zones cant have different settings. Like on the outside of the gate i want just the light to go on. But when movement on the inside is detected the alarm has to go off. The wifi is also not that strong. I figured out what drains the battery. Everytime a car passes at night the headlights give off a heat signal. And i cant turn the cam further away else i wont see the gate anymore
is it all in 4K, record and viewing, does it record conintuously with or without motion 24/7?
It does not have 4K. It has one lens at 3K and the other at 2K. It's does not have 24/7 recording as it's a solar panel camera.
Can it record non stop 24/7 to its local memory inside the camera? And will that make it burn out the battery much faster?
No, its only clip recording to the local internal memory or clip recordings to the HB3. I don't know of any brand that has "battery/solar" security camera that can do 24/7 recording. Eufy has few 24/7 cameras but they are all wired.
How does the S340 compare with S40? Is S40 superior in image quality or something? In my country the S340 is cheaper than S40 but it seems more advanced with tilt/pan and dual lenses etc which is odd.
The image quailty is about the same so without a doubt I would go for S340.
If the camera detects motion, Does it let you know or alert you on the phone app????
of course, every smart camera does
Does this camera ping your phone when it detects anything
How were you viewing both lenses at the same time? The app only shows one?
There's a video setting called "View Mode" that you can select dual or single view.
It's very nice camera but it should be with 3 4 days recording in local storage at least.it only have is motion not 24 hours record.
I have paid also buckup cloud and lt say my device is not supported
What's your opinion on the HB3 ?
Love it. (except for the cost of both the HB3 and drive) Having the footage stored inside my house is more ideal for me over storing it on the device or in the cloud. Plus the addtional features are pretty cool.
Can you connect this to homebesd s280 thanks in advance
No, only the Homebase 3, not 2.
In a guard mode is the camera pan left to right by itself? if no, then how it is going to detect a person if is out of field of view?
It's setting is called patrol mode.
What about remote connect, how does that work?
Just log into the eufy app.
By what means can the camera connect to hb3 at 200 meters?
The HB3 is the HomeBase 3. It can connect to your network by Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi.
I installed Lan cables in my house for a security system. Then this came along and I no longer needed those Lan cables, nor do I even need an alarm.
Can I use this camera with my HB2???
Yes
Can you set it to one position and not have it follow motion? I need one pointing directly at my cars and I don’t want it to look elsewhere unless I command it.
Then logically you'd buy a cheaper camera that doesn't have pan/tilt. 🙄
So not able to add Micro SD? Able to download & delete videos from S340?
Just purchased.
Follow-up thoughts?
@ThrivingCountry I recommend it. $ well spent.
Getting 2 more to cover my whole outside of my house.
How long does it record videos?? Hoe long are the video??? Jill
Does this camera have LIVE COVERAGE ?
Meaning, as S340 camera is WIFI connected - does it give me live coverage on my mobile device. While i am away from home/camera ?
Yes, you can log into the app and see the live feed. Understand, you can't do this for long periods as this is solar battery operated camera.
Can you install it upside down on a flat surface like a roof?
Physicall yes, If you're handy, you can jerry rig it to a roof top once you remove the solar panel and place it elsewhere. But there is no way to turn the footage 180° in the app that I have found. Also the extra heat from the roof will kill it in no time, so I wouldn't recommend it.
Does it work with homebase 2 my friend?
Nope, only HB3
Is the mounting bracket adjustable? Or can it only be mounted on a vertical surface?
Thanks for watching. Yes, it can be mounted vertically or horizontally. The solar panel does not have to sit on top, and it comes with a 10-foot wire so you can mount the solar panel in a better location if needed. With the solar panel removed, the camera can then be mounted to a horizontal surface, like under an eave
How high did you mount the device?
They recommend 7-10 ft. I think I'm around 11-12ft. and I still have good notifcations.
Are you able to turn the nightvision IR lights on and off in a setting? I nned to be able to disable the IR lights at certain times and also do not want the light coming on.
Yes, there is a night vision setting, which includes black and white night vision with IR LEDs, color night vision with the spotlight, and an option to turn it off. However, it's a manual setting that cannot be automated based on specific times. (By the way, I'm not positive, but I also don't think the IR stays on constantly; it only comes on when it detects motion or when you access the live feed.) I hope this helps you
Can you embed live playback on to a web page?
Keep in mind that this is a battery camera. You would kill the battery in no time if you keep the live feed on, but yes there is webpage but you have to go into the app first to authorize the live feed for 1, 8,12,or 24 hours. Kind of lame in that department so if you want something you can keep on all time, you should look into POE cameras.
Thanks for the reply. I did come to this realization. Going to go with a different wired camera.
does it come with the extension for the solar panel cord?
Yes it does.
@@ModernDayTech that’s fire. How has the solar held up? Any issues with power?
@@royjohnson9043 It's been great. I just checked it at its 99%. Remember placement is key and it has to be direct sunlight.
Can you do continuous recording as well as clips?
No, that would kill the battery in no time.
So my wife is home alone. I work nights. She's asleep and I want to get notifications on my phone if there is someone approaching. Does this do that? It appears I can log in and view but just wondering if there is a motion detection/notification option. Thanks.
Yes almost all smart cameras these days have notifications and event logs. Most are clip recordings and not recording 24/7. You want to compare how long clips will be stored and how you can access them. Some companies charge fees to access and store them in the cloud and others store footage right on the camera. There’s some other options too but just know almost every camera system has notifications and event log. You’ll want to research other factors since they pretty much all have the basics you just ask for.
can you install Eufy S340 Solocam on a house with Vinyl siding. Do you install the anchors in the hole of the Vinyl siding provided with the camera? Thanks in advance for your reply
Only if you want to damage your siding. You can go right through the siding into the sheathing but I would not. They also have this siding mount - amzn.to/3TK5OA0 (affiliate link)
@@ModernDayTech Thanks for your quick response.
@@ModernDayTech I wished I had asked you before because I tried to use the anchors supplied after drilling holes in my White siding on two separate locations as the first did NOT work and neither did the second one, so I am getting what they call a siding patch(White). Do you know anyone who has used this and does it work? Please let me know before I outlay more hard earned money behind it. Thanks. Waiting for your quick reply like last time.
@@ModernDayTech The above suggestion link is great but they say that people could steal the security camera if it is NOT installed into the house. My question again is, do you need to use the supplied anchor to drill into the siding or can you screw it directly into the siding with a 2 1/8 inch screw directly into the siding an I am sure it will catch the wood siding that the Vinyl siding is covering. I do NOT wish you damage my siding anymore than I already have. Thanks for your time.
@@ModernDayTech I bought 2 of these thru your above link. It is going to be high enough so hopefully does NOT get stolen. Thanks
Questions. If I use the base 3 station like you mention for great storage. Will it all the camera to continually record footage or still on clips based on motion detection?
Q2. If recording to the base station. And I don’t pay for their cloud storage. How do I access my footage when away from home?
Hey Tony, according to the FAQs, it will only record on the HB3 once you designate it, not both. To view footage that might have been recorded on the camera previously, you'll have to disconnect the HB3 to see the camera's storage. You can still access the HB3 via the Eufy app remotely. Remember, cloud storage is different from cloud access. I hope that helps.
So to clarify. Will it record continuously or only if there’s nothing when concocted to the base station.
@@TechWithTony I'm not 100% sure what youre asking but it's not 24/7 "continously" recording. It only records to the base station when it sees motion. However their new wired floodlight cam has 24/7 recording option but their solar cameras do not. I'll feature the 24/7 floodlight cam in another video soon as there aresome minor restrictions to get the feature.
@TechWithTony They say their wired cams record 24/7 and these battery/solar cams record on detected motion/people/pets and so on.
I have the Eufy 2 pro wireless. And it's basically a live feed. It doesn't record ANY night activities. All our cars have been broken into. This camera recorded NONE of it !!! I'm about to go to Ring.
Sounds like you set them up wrong
clearly not ideal in the uk looks smart😂is it apple home kit compatible with icloud + storage?
Yeah, I've never been to the UK but Ive see a lot photos. It always seem cloudy.
Is it compatible with cloud service?
There is integration with Google Home and Alexa but its only seeing the live feed. You have no control and the connection is not stable in Google. The old RTSP feature of Eufy has been removed since they added the HB3. I hope that helps you but if you have specfic use, feel free to ask and if I can help I will or maybe someone else can.
For $200 (I think the price is still high), I'd like to see either more internal memory/storage (16-32Gb) or the ability to install a larger capacity SD card (and while I currently have 4 other Eufy cams around my property, I have zero desire to invest in a Homebase).
I just bought this as my first security camera and I really dislike it. I need a camera that will give a live view that comes on when there is movement. If anyone knows of one that does this please let me know.
If u get a hit and click on it it will send you to the recorded event otherwise tap the camera for live view instead of recorded view. I do this all the time. It’s not complicated
whats the max motion range?
Theres a lot factors involved including the height and angle of the camera but roughly it's 30 feet, plus you can adjust the motion activity zone and detection sensitvity from 1 to 7. You'll have to test for your specfic setup.
Can you put an SD card in it?
No, it has 8GB internal memory for your clip recordings. You can also sync this with the HB3 that can save your clips up to 16TB.
Did you buy this camera?
Watch 00:33
Does it have vehicle or pet detection?
Yes and No. It has vehicle and pet detection in beta when you have it synced with the homebase 3. Although its in beta, its works pretty good. But without the HB3, no it does have specifc detection, just normal detection of any movement including vehicles and pets or anything else.
It doesn't read vehicle plates
is it reliable?
Yes, I love it, but understand that placement and a good understanding of the device are paramount. You need great WiFi and sunlight at the location. You can not mount it too high, and it's only for clip recordings. Do your homework and make sure you buy it from a place that has a great return policy just in case it's not for you. But as you can read the reviews, it's mostly positive, but it's definitely not perfect. Nothing is.
thank you appreciate your input.@@ModernDayTech
If anything ever goes down? 😅
I watched at least 10 reviews for this camera, everyone talks about the best security camera ever but when i read the comments all i see is unhappy dissapointed people :-)
It's definitely not perfect, but it all depends on your expectations and what you focus on. 81% of Amazon reviews are 4 and 5 stars, which is pretty good. Also, remember that most people who are satisfied don't leave a review. As for me, all I can say is that I love it. I'm not sponsored by Eufy, although they did provide this unit. I've also purchased many other Eufy products with my own money because I like their products
@Luz Santoyo, i can see your comment in my notifications but under the video it has been censored. RUclips has become impossible to use for comments lately with all censorship
Cloud storage is NOT supported on this device
Camera does not detect animals(pets) slow notification time with humans and cars. Returning...
What did u end up purchasing instead…thx
How is it setup that depends a lot how it's going to function. I have 9 Eufy cameras and all are working as described from Eufy.
You have to change the settings every couple days probably a few weeks and it does learn how it's progressing. These cameras Learn from you or they will stay on factory settings and maybe never work how you want.
Yes, My camera was learning..but notifications were way to slow for what I needed.@@lickalittle
Mine do
Agreed all my eufy are hit or miss on motions
Just like all other Eufy battery powered camera, it will die within a couple of years. So basically is a throw away as the battery is not removable.
4 years with 9 camera's and zero have been replaced
$200 bucks??? Sorry but I'll pass.
Thats the full price but they've been around $100-139 during sales.
Cheapskate
@@ModernDayTechwhere have you seen it for that price?
Probably gets a new $1000 phone each release though...
Sometime on Amazon but mostly on TikTok - www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8KUBGqv/
This camera is a total piece of shit I just paid $200 for it at Best Buy.
And took it home upon trying to activate it. It kept telling me cannot connect to network. I tried this nearly 35 times then I took it back to exchange it for another one. Thinking it was the problem and with the second one I got the same issue. Never got the chance to see how the damn thing even works. Because it keeps saying cannot connect to network, Before putting in wi fi password, it states that the unit can only handle a 2.4ghz router Which is weird because my router has 2 parts to it. A 2.4 GHz and a 5 GHz. So I don't see what the hell the problem is. TERRIBLE PRODUCT
Can I use this camera with my HB2???
No
