Thank you for the video. You made it easy to sit back and learn the features after I installed mine.
Wow thank you so much for this video so informative. I just got my cameras in and able to follow this so easy. Again thanks.
Thanks for the great video! Have you run it with and without the homebase? I’ve been reading some people say the camera seems to perform better without it. Thanks
Good camera, and great review 👍😎
Thank you! I think it is a really great option for all of the features,.
Thanks for taking the time to make the video. I have the S340 and Homebase 3. Things seem to be working fine except when there is motion, I am not getting a notification on my phone. I have notifications turned on for the app and in the settings . I'm obviously not doing something right, any suggestions. I have tested motion and when I walk into the field, the cameras light also comes on. Thanks.
Does it overwrite the old video when the memory is running out like the way dash cam works, or stop recording when the memory is full?
Nice video mate.
I’d want to swap the solar panel out for a hardwire connection and have 24hr recording with expandable memory.
Don’t think you can switch to the 24h even with the hard wire
How many 30 sec clips before it starts overwriting old clips? Only 8gb right?
Does it work with homekit?
does this have tracking recording
What would be the wired equivalent for this? Bcoz this solar version does not save video 24/7 to the eufy home base
The only eufy camera that does 24/7 recording is the S330 Pro which I reviewed last year: czcams.com/video/yxSQ_-ddJ7g/video.html
I don’t know why you can’t just plug it into the 5 V DC charger and have it run 24 seven lots of problems with eufy and they’re connectivity and what works with what and what doesn’t work with what . It does not have 365° detection if you walk up from it and its default position from behind it’s not gonna know you’re there and so then you have to keep adding on cameras and all kinds of stuff that way Way over complicated. good luck finding the information the app is really bad not intuitive. Can’t find the instructions. I don’t know how to make it run. Just play the video one after the other you get it do this touch that that that sucks I want to return it days but I missed my 30 days. I haven’t found if the zoom lens can be just because it is never pointing where you want it to be pointing.
When first charging , is the light blue? Does light change color when done charging?
I don't recall 100% but I think it either turns solid blue or the light turns off. It should be in the manual.
Without the home base, would the S340's "People" and "Vehicle" detections capture any wildlife ? We have bear and deer doing damage around the house.
The camera only detects people and vehicles on board. But you can have it detect just motion, that should pick up animals but also moving trees.
You have bears? Yikes!
Bro i am really need your help
I have 30 meter rgb led and i have a 5v 40A power supply how to connect them with wled with esp8266/esp32 please help me out bro love form Bangladesh ❤❤
What type of LED strip is it? I would say with that length, you are going to need to inject power at least once in the middle (at 15 feet). Check out Rob @TheHookUp s awesome guides.

Can it work with Home Base 2?
Yes
. Many software options not available on my S340. I did not buy a "homebase" to get them. Returning my EUFY S340 after un-installing it will be a PAIN.
Audible alarm setting will NOT stay OFF.
What options were to expecting? I thought I explained what features were available on the camera vs the homebase.
@@ThisSmartHouse It's not your fault by any means, I just can't get the alarm to mute permanently for one.
@aimsmallcq1218 Did you reach out to support? That sounds like a an issue with the unit. Or factory reset and try again.
Remedied he issue. Thanks
this version can store in cloud?
Yes you can subscribe to cloud storage.
@@ThisSmartHouse brother I tried and also checked the site.. It does not have cloud storage
If you open the Eufy app, then press the three lines at the top left and then select Cloud Storage. $2.99 per device per month.
You are correct but you cannot connect that to this model
It only has option to store locally.. I purchased and now am stuck
Has Eufy fixed any of their previously egregious security issues? Have any white hat hacker types made sure they are not sending data (including facial recognition to China still) because they were. Seems insane to install this into your home, no matter how great the feature set.
You dont actually want 5ghz for wireless cameras, even if it supports it. The reason being is that 5ghz wifi is a tigher band that sure can transmit faster, but the tighter wavelength struggles with distance and obstructions (walls etc). 2.4ghz is the better option for this use case useless you have outdoor access points littering your yard.
You are correct that the 5 GHz band does have more issues with walls and penetration. But the other side of the coin is that the 5 GHz spectrum is much more open so you can find a clear channel. 2.4 in my neighborhood is so congested it's difficult to get anything to connect over a decent range.
This camera sucks 2 days ago there was police activity with three or four police cars parked right in front of my house and the camera did not even detect that they were there. It showed me a 5-second clip when they drove off
That's one of the core disadvantages of the battery-powered cameras. They will only wake up when motion is detected and then it's up to the onboard AI to determine whether or not to continue recording.
Like all Eufy battery powered camera, it will die in a couple of year. Since the battery cannot be removed, it is basically a throw away.
My eufyCams 3s (my oldest cameras) haven't had any issues yet but I will let everyone know if I run into issues.
2:07 you guys all need to plant some trees or bushes or something....
We have them closer to the house.
lol, not the best because it does not even track pets , just detects them. When I uncheck pets detection, it detected my pet as human but did not track it. I ask eufy if they will update the software to track pets, they said no! Buyers just be aware these influencers don’t mention that.
You mean the AI tracking to move the camera? I think it is designed only to track people. But it will record if an animal walks through the frame (can confirm as I saw the neighbor's cat during testing). Only if you have the HomeBase 3.
It isn't that we don't mention it, it just isn't a feature that I would need. But I will keep it in mind in future reviews.
Thanks though I don’t see that being a feature most would need or even want. I want it to follow people so I have peace of mind, animals can go about their business and I don’t need to know their every move
Are you using homebase 3? Without connecting to hb3 the AI isn’t as good.
My neighbor is a peeping tom pervert. He has this same camara i feel so uncomfortable everytime i walk in my yard.
