- I'm testing the new outdoor security cameras from Eufy. If you're looking for a wireless security camera the S340 might be for you. It's an amazing solar-powered camera. The S340 floodlight camera provides 24/7 recording capability. Both cameras have 360-degree viewing as well as night vision of course so you never miss a thing.

This is the sister channel, wait maybe cousin. I don't know. It's the second HAXMAN channel. Here I can show more gear reviews for survival, gardening, off-road, emergency preps, off-grid, and landscaping. You know, basic man stuff. I'll also show projects that don't quite fit on HAXMAN.

That sketchy looking dufus in the opening scene was probably just searching for a lost kitty ! 🤔🤣
That’s really cool. All the technology is crazy however, that hook for the mounting is gold
Agree 💯%
I use the Goggles cameras inside and out of my house. They don't pan they are stationary. Good 4k quality and audio. However, after having them for 3 years now I have decided on my next home I will be going to CCTV. Going to stay away from the wifi. I will use backup battery power on my CCTV cameras so that when I do lose power I will still have my camera coverage and alarms. More expensive I know but 10 times better. Good video man.
Yea this pretty much is the best way to go for privacy. Anything that touches the internet can be hacked.
It would be nice to mount a pew pew to the AI tracking so you could take care of the 2 and 4 legged varmints from the comfort of your La Z Boy.
Big problem with the Eufy system is, (I have four cams, two floodlights and two doorbells) if one camera in the backyard starts recording it will miss the predator in the front. They don't record at the same time or two events simultaneously. I had to divide the cameras between two bases, one on my account and one on my wife's. So hopefully one of the accounts will capture the event. Also as mentioned in the comments, if the internet goes down, even with a stand alone router, the Eufy system goes down.
Next time I will go with a hard wired system that records 24/7.
That is the reason I don't go with this BRAND, will stick with EZVIZ, if their server goes down it still works via the router as well as records to the backup memory card.
No, not these cameras. That would have been a great feature.
This is only true if you choose to not store video locally.
I have 5 eufy cameras which I only have store video locally.
I would have to make a deliberate choice to store video online (Im not that stupid)
@@bondibois I do not use the cloud, but when my service provider goes down, or has routine maintenance. My system is unavailable and doesn't record. I have one set of cameras with a homebase linked directly to the service providers modem and another set linked to my router.
@@Richard-nb4iv
Go into your router and turn off automatic updates.
UniFi Pro G4. 4K. The ZPT Monster is awesome. I can zoom in 24xs digital and then 500% screen zoom.
I liked the extension cord used to feed 120v for the camera nice touch
When I bought 1 of their cameras at first to see how I liked it I was impressed upon first impression. Of course with it being a new company the price point seemed reasonable I guess. Also I gave it time to work out a few bugs to get better at capturing people. Unfortunately Eufy doesn’t catch everything. It seems at times it catches me better than strangers and even cars that pulled up to my home. I bought a few different ones but in order for me to work around this problem I had other cameras kinda facing in same similar direction for if one didn’t catch the person then one of them will. There has been times when both cameras has been a let down in some cases. I still like the product for what it is but it would seem it would catch vehicles that would travel left to right better than people walking on the street. Eufy local hard drive is what sold me and the decent price point. But I do like the lock unit to the home. I just wish they had a 4K camera. The solar panels seem to last maybe but a few years before it is hazy.
Exactly my experience.
Use a single Eufy facing out to monitor our porch and sidewalk. Any cam that records stores info if you elect to monitor via steaming. They ALL store info on that level. Allowing internal home steaming is electing to allow data storage. Read and understand the info provided.
Eufy does make great cameras. Software is good as well.
Awesomesauce! I had refresh to leave a comment, Adam. I watched it 20 seconds after you posted. LOL
EUFY does make some really good products. The one complaint in their past is that when people selected to keep all their files on their local drive, EUFY was still uploading those files and other people were allowed to see them.
Still terrific work my friend.
They still do
I don't know if you realized it, or not, but when you were showing us how the AI worked in the dark there was someone following you. 😂I loved that they included that S hook to help with mounting, it's always Such a pain trying to hold something up and connect all the wires.
That was the ghost of Christmas past
😄
Oh yeah, I'm going to get me a couple of those. Very cool. Thanks for the review.
Eufy is known for horrible issues with data, doesn't matter how good the cameras are if the company itself can't be trusted.
If you are worried about security, you could hook it up to its own subnet and use a program to see what it talks to, you can then lock it down if needed. Not for the novice, but there are ways to lock things like this down. I’m sure there are simpler ways as well.
I looked into this issue and found that perhaps a class 10 extreme duty SD mem card is one apparent fix to the issue, not yet tested. Take care.
Perfect, I've been looking for some good cameras to add to my security.
I traded my ring in front of house to a EUFY . It tracks the front of my house very well.
I like the 360 ability, but I started using Wyze cameras awhile ago and am super happy with them. They have solar panels for the outdoor ones too.
yea wyze is pretty good
But they charge for storage, that’s why I like eufy’s system.
Yeah but now they force monthly payments.
Eufy is best cheap cameras. 2nd best that gets overlooked is ezviz! Both have no monthly payments
Mine got wet with rain and it stopped working so i just got one eufy.
I have the floodlight cam. They are very bright.
After lying about the encryption and storage location of their imagery, I won’t trust Eufy anytime soon.
Name of article?
Comparing eufy e340 eufy floodlight cam 2 pro only downgrade is lumens eufy floodlight cam 2 pro is 3,000 lumens and eufy e340 is 2,000 lumens not happy but hopefully they will upgrade i have eufy floodlight cam 2 pro it’s way better than newer model
I have a 380 base and the S340 and I have to turn OFF one whole side of motion sensor because the road beside my house with a full 6 ft fence can't be used because you don't have any way to get triggering input from car traffic. Reduction in sensing by measurement out from the sensor doesnt really work. I have to rely on the right half yard sensor to pick up movement. Even the privacy ignore doesnt work. I spent hour testing and the ONLY thing that works it disabling the left sensor that takes out half the coverage. Plus, the App is a cluttered Mess and Bloated. It is so so so bloated with 3-4 different sub entry ways to do stuff is 3-4 different ways by what appears to done by different design teams. They did twice the coding needed to get thing done and then the buyer spends time poking around in the Maze of a boated App designed by 3-4 different design teams.
So if I travel outside of the state/country does my phone stay connected to it or is there a distance requirement?
Hey Hax, Great video. Sorry I'm late in commenting. I'm in FLORIDA, having FUN on my BOAT!! Escaped the Iowa winter. Nice tech. I'll be getting one. Best to Kim. Thumbs up.
Have fun!
all my cams are eufys ..my boy got some so i did too...best ones i have ever had ,,,they make good stuff
The big problem with Eufy and other cloud cameras just like it. YOU HAVE NO SECURITY because staff at Eufy, Ring, Blink etc can watch your cameras without your permission. The only safe secured camera system is if you get your own self hosted system like NVR/DVR that is not tied to the cloud.
Eufy is not a cloud service
Nice hat!
I have an AOSU 360° Solar C9C camera. The camera lacks true security features. The first being a 60 second event recording limit even with a 128GB memory card installed and set up to only record locally(not that local or cloud recording should be a factor in limiting the camera to 60 seconds local max). Imagine it picks up someone hopping your back fence and walking towards your home slowly opps it stops recording / fails to continue to track. or they pace back and forth then begin to walk up to or around your car oops 60 seconds is up. Other times if the subject pauses for a moment, is moving directly toward or away from the camera and even if there is movement across it view the camera just stops recording. This is even for recordings way below the 60 second max. which most recordings are. The camera has no option to force it to continue recording a motion event for the full 60 seconds or for another 5 seconds (or 10 or 20) after it thinks motion has stopped - this is standard on "security cameras". Another standard "security camera" feature is the ability to pre-record. What that means is the camera is buffering a few seconds of what it is looking at (usually 2-5 seconds) and when an event is triggered it uses the pre-recorded video as the beginning of the recorded event. This ability allows you to see what happened before the detector picked up motion (out of range of the motion detector) or if the camera had a detection zone (and a home zone) and you had blocked some swaying branches... As for the home zone it is where you want the camera looking at all the time. Such as your car or front door (the camera does seem to return after tracking to where you had set it to look at but not every time). These features have been available for years on inexpensive ($35 or less) wireless cameras. What made me purchase the camera was the true wireless nature of solar. After 4 cloudy days the camera continued to function. The night vision is ok - if you have street lights around your home turn it off. The lights that can turn on are bright considering. Unfortunately, key security features are missing. I can't state how important it is to be able to increase or record an event in its entirety. But I know this will leave you very frustrated when there is an incident that was partially recorded or missed entirely. I got what I paid for and most unfortunately missed my return window. I will also mention there is not any documentation of its settings and forget about the tech support people offering any explanation of what settings it does have no matter how many times you ask or send examples of missing events. From what I have read all the cameras in this class are the same. Let's call them "Good Luck Cameras" . Good luck getting some usable video when something happens.
I like these cameras from eufy. Wife is going to love her Christmas gift!
nice product, but EUFY ware the worse company right now to secure data and images, just do a Google search on them ;)
Love my eufy camera
3 issues right off after I bought this camera because of your great work in advertising, and it really is a great amazing camera! If not for the built in software spying and defeating programming.
#1 if someone pushes your reset button, it removes all your stored videos, from you but not the Chinese spying company saving all your data which is the big problem # 2, and problem #3 anyone can actually hack your videos if they have the same app. That one might be resolved? But not first 2...?
I found all this when I went to CZcams to figure out how to set it up just now. And I'm too late to return it by regular means...
I have several eufy cams, on the S340 how far away does it first start to pick up movement?
Eufy has good quality cameras in my opinion. The app on the other hand is pretty bad. Coming from Nest, going through clips to see events on my property is painful. Eufy, please fix the horrible app and you'll have a great product.
"Solar-Powered, Install Once and it Runs Forever" - from the Amazon ad.
Nah. That thing MUST have a battery, storing power while sunlit, using that power when not.
I hope the batteries are a standard form factor.
And, note that rechargeable lithium batteries do not last forever.
Once and engineer...always an engineer. :-)
It has a built in battery. You can take the camera down and plug it in to recharge if you don't have the solar panel. I'm not sure what type of battery though. That's how my old Arlo system worked years ago except it didn't have the solar panel.
lol, engineer here too, and I was wondering how many years the batteries will last. I haven't seen anything that says you can replace the Eufy batteries, so once they're toast or barely hold a charge anymore, I'm guessing you just need to replace the entire thing. However, by that time, there'll probably be completely new cameras you'll want anyway, probably using different tech; at minimum faster wifi, better batteries, better lenses etc.
For RV use will these work with a wifi that has no internet connection?
I have 9 Eufy wireless cameras, only 3 are working correctly.
Constant problems with charging and disconnecting all by themselves.
I’m currently looking for a different brand to replace all my eufy cams with.
Dig it.
Sorry, I keep forgetting it's no longer 1969.
Great review! New to your channel. I also have eufy installed on my home. Looking to upgrade to these ptz 360’s. You must love peeling an onion!
Ok I want one ☝️
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.
Best camera on the market but Eufy uploads to China based servers even with local storage options. But there aren't any other options besides Chicom cams.
need a camera that can follow and hit on command .
Did you have to have internet at the chicken coup for the camera that is solar powered?
Yes. My wifi will just barely reach out to the coop.
@@HaxmanXTRA gotcha!
Eufy does seem to have the best hardware, but like most camera systems these days, they are made in China. Not sure I trust that their systems are bug-free if you know what I mean.
I just want to know what happens when there is motion out of the field of view of the camera
Do anyone have several cameras? I read that the app can show all the cameras at the same time stamp when checking history?
Has anyone else complained about your channel not showing up despite being subscribed and having the notification bell rung?
I hear it all the time.
Hey man do you still run the eufy S340?
G'Day mate so did something go wrong with your other channel as you seem to be using this one a bit more these days?. Some more toys to play with well done and a very good idea.
I’m building a tiny house for the main channel so the video is taking awhile to make. 😄 I should have a different video out next week though on a smaller project.
@@HaxmanXTRA No worries mate stay safe and have your head on a swivel lol.
what do you mean if you have the home base you'll get 24/7 recording. doesnt it record 24/7 without the home base ?
Usually motion only on memory cards. They fill up really quick if recording constantly. Which is where the home base or NVRs come in with adequate storage space usually on a hard drive.
Would like to see how to wire to home. I know nada about electricity
Does this have person/animal ai detection
I can't seem to find a hard wired camera, that will also notify me via text / email.
Everything is Wi-Fi, and therefore hackable
Is ot wifi only or can it use cell signals
Are they ONVIF?
*Read what data the app collects, including passwords for all sites and apps!*
Tell your current camera operator if she doesn't act right she'll lose her job to ai 😂
Me too 😄
😂 until someone walks up with a flipper zero bye bye your great camera.
I use Ring but it doesn’t really matter. Somebody is always watching and listening. Between our phones, cameras, smart home devices it’s impossible to keep the low lives in the government out of our business. I just give them a show.
Hey, I swear I noticed your installation of Eufy Security app was operating with a DARK UI THEME.....right?? For tbe love of all things NOT RETINAL BLISTERING & EYE-WATERINGLY SPARKLY WHITE in the complete darkness of night as I am awakened from slumber by Eufy Security notification regarding human motion in a specific AI monitored zone.......PLEASE SHARE YOUR PARTICULAR BRAND OF MAGIC / VOODOO.....or other form of pure sorcery that gives you dark themed UIX. 🙏🏻
Is it digital or optical zoom. In my experience digital zoom sucks
3x is optical and the 8x is digital.
Make video on your water pump
After my third Eufy camera, no thanks. Also Anker is the parent company so I will not buy anything with the name Anker or Eufy on it. The flood cameras lasted between 4 and 5 months each. Eufy did replace one and refund on the other one. The last one was just a security camera, very simple, and it lasted 15 months. No response from Eufy on this one other than, too bad so sad. Anker is the parent company so watch out for any Anker or Eufy product in my opinion.
To get to the other side😏
I need 3 because people think they can stalk my house in also come in my yard
I would rather have hard wired than wifi unless you have a dedicated wifi network. They eat bandwidth. But 3k… ? Really? Ugh.
This was a commercial.
How many of the features are paywalled?
Nothing. Once you buy the camera that's it. You have access to everything. No subscriptions.
Reolink trackmix knockoff.
To easy to hack, you want wired. So this only records when you tell it to🤷♀️
Is this Glove approved?
The critical flaw with this camera is if you mount it in the backyard and someone is in the front yard it won't capture it. So that is a dealbreaker for me.
Then you need 2 cameras! Duh!
I don't understand how peeling the plastic off the solar panel was satisfying. 🙄
If you need Internet you have big brother watching.
Hey I've seen that guy before , call the police the fbi , Cia atf , he needs to be deported immediately if not sooner . 😅😊😂😅😂, Like your videos, keep them coming.😊😊😊
Eufy security camera - oxymoron.
Eufy has had some pretty unethical security practices... they may have been resolved, but for now I don't trust them.
Say it louder for the people in the back!!!!!
@@Hunterlewis675Eufy (parent company Anker) wasnt using end to end encryption. Which allowed people to access video feeds. That issue was resolved back in January. Some people might be skeptical, or hold a grudge.
@@Hunterlewis675 They claimed the camera stream was encrypted, but it was not. Also, the servers storing the video are located in China, and we all know what kind of a security risk that entails.
@@redbaron6805thanks for the info. This is a big deal
What did they do ?
I have an issue with all security cameras. I don’t even want to go near houses with the dumb Ring doorbells. And walking into stores and being tracked everywhere is also such a violation. It’s like everyone is looked at as a criminal who needs to be surveilled. Plus, they’ve shown many of these cameras are set to provide various parties with the footage….which is super creepy also. Some, if they don’t change passwords, don’t realize creeps are watching their every move through their newly installed cameras. Then there’s the legal aspect…it’s like anyone with a camera needs to fork over their footage if a neighbor has a crime committed and you may end up being pulled into a courtroom to testify about the footage as well. I don’t know…I’m just saying, cameras are “safe” enough to check on animal activity and such, but for any human activity, I miss the reality where cameras weren’t plastered everywhere. Yes, I understand video footage comes in handy for many things, but generally, as a day to day norm…constant surveillance on the common man makes the person using it seem like someone that shouldn’t be trusted themselves.
No privacy in public. Wear a motorcycle helmet if you're worried about it.
I have cameras so if some Troglodyte decides he wants to do something stupid, he gets recorded doing it, stores do it for the same reason obviously. Those not trying to break in or steal have nothing to worry about. I agree some give away data, Eufy being one of them so I would never use them.
Isn’t Eufy Chinese owned? Just sayin
They are easy to scramble with wifi devices . Wireless cameras are crap
Reolink is better
Just keep in mind that Eufy servers are located in China, and the cameras are considered a massive security risk. They were also caught lying about the video being encrypted so they couldn't access it (wasn't true), and the cameras do connect to China.
Now, are they going to be interested in the footage of a chicken coop? Probably not. But, if your home is located near a sensitive area like a military base, around DC or other areas, or the cameras are recording the inside of your home, they could easily be using it for nefarious purposes.
There has been an active effort to boot Chinese camera and networking companies out due to the massive security risk they pose. Many of those companies actively fund the Chinese military and any Chinese company has to hand over any data for any reason from any agency in China that demands it.
Just keep in mind that this technology represents a massive security risk from a hostile country that is actively preparing for a war with the USA in the coming years.
That camera is junk. Solar panels do NOT LAST LONG you'll be buying a lot of solar panels in the future. The bulb camera is WAAAY BETTER
After the 10th stupid quacking noise. I stopped watching this video. The picture is absolute garbage as well.
Junk
You look alot like another CZcamsr that does fart videos...
Looks more like timu plastic crap 😂😂😂
What is up with you guys? Why do you like wireless cameras? They're not good. You gotta think what happens if you lose powder. Oh what happened to someone shut down your internet oh
Cloud based cameras = FAIL
reolink trackmix is better. And hikvision tandemvu is 1000x times better...
