A very nice security cam indeed! The tracking function and the microphones are really good! 👌 Also battery life is something you can totally forget about as long as you live somewhere
sunny! Vera is truly the best assistant! 😄👍
My brother works with security items like this, and I always share, when you showcase them.
Good One Chris Sir! ✌
Yes the other solar more with a fixed cameras I have i've never charged it, 2 years now it's always at 100-97% battery it is really install and forget about it. The only thing is the white plastic is now more cream coloured from the sun. Vera loves to help and see what i'm up to, always! Oh cool your bother I hope finds this interesting.
Thank you for the review,I will have to get one to test it as I am not fancy runing a power wire to feont of the house
Big thumbs up for Vera!
Vera will love that :D
Great review. Also liked your review of the S330. I'm trying decide between one of these or an S330 for my back yard (I have a path to the side of my house where I'll put S330 and I'm going to put their E340 doorbell on the front). Will you do a video comparing the S330 and the S340?
Would you love to see you review that new Xiaomi 14 inch tablet. Great review as always
Nice to see it has a gimbal + solar!
Yes this if it's in the sun will keep on going.
Thank you for this great presentation
Our pleasure!
Nice video, thanks, can you tell me if the camera works with Homekite?
Good review, I do think this would suit us.
I hope so!
Good looking cam Chris, but here in the UK this would be useless as we got no sunshine 😅😶🌫
Fair enough! But even with no sun it will go for around 4 months so you will have a few days in tehre to top it up a little at least. Thanks for watching!
I am in North of UK and will try that out ASAP
Hi, I'm also using this S340 solocam for a few weeks now. It's working is fine, but I think the solar panel is not working suffient because my battery looks like its draining (below 75% now and no signs of charging in the dashboard whatsoever). My setup is just like yours with the panel in early morning sunlight, the power source is external solar panel. Got some insights for me to possibly solve my power problem? [PS: when I set the power source to battery, what is the use of the solar panel right then? Does it charge the battery or somethink like that?]
Great video review, is this camera vandal resistant?? What stops someone from just unclipping it? Will it work if stolen??
Patiently waiting for your oneplus open review 👌 🙏🏻
Not buying that sorry, 1800 euros no thanks. And OnePlsu seems to want nothing to do with me to there is that.
Nice video. One question: it has an IPX5 rating. This is rather low. I expect a rating at least IP66 to stand bad weather conditions. What are your thoughts? Thank you!
What if the thieves come from two different sides? Which way is t will focus?
When the camera tracks a subject across its entire pan range, does it return to its original default position after? Or does it stay aimed wherever the subject left the field of view?
Hi, once it looses what it wsa tracking it will return to the defaults poisitons you have set via the app. In my case that is pointing towards the gate and door to the house where there is the most in and out traffic.
Well...camera tracking function. But what if the person is out of the frame? Is it going to be detected? There are no sensors around the camera body. The sensor is only inside the frame what the camera sees. So, it can track the person if he is already within the field of view, but not detect it if he is out of sight. I wish next model to have this. It will be perfect scenario with no blind spots.
Are there cameras with a comparable price/feature set on the market today with this functionality?
Does the app work on a galaxy a13 mobile ?
Great video. Nice to finally see some innovation in securiy cameras. I still feel they should be alot better at this point but oh well. They can't be too nice otherwise people will, ironically, start swiping security cams.
I was just thinking this, what is going to stop some bloke coming up and stealing this?
I guess as long as it's up out of reach it's probably ok but I'd prefer to keep it stealth like in a tree where people may not notice. IDK.
It's interesting in my condo association they voted out individual homeowner cams and had a pro company install them all over. It instantly stopped the rash of disputes between neighbors regarding privacy issues and the idea of someone next door constantly having you on surveillance.
@@bloodybarron Where I have it here it's right off the road and other cameras also over it. Plus no foot traffic either so it will be fine. My other camera in the from gate area has never been tampered with in 2 years so it's all good here!
Yes if it as too flashy and fancy people would go out looking for them to steal them., but where I have it located it will be fine off the street and no foot traffic.
@@wiredspeaker5658 Up out of reach it will be fine but also being visabel they say is a good thing, stops people getting ideas when they see it and makes them think twice. Interesting about the condo situation so people where acussing others of spying on them with private cameras?
Does the colored night vision have to be turned on in order for the spotlight motion to work, because the spotlight wont turn on when motion is detected at night I have the spotlight turned on?
Yes it does have to be on. Or it will just used the IR light B&W and no flash light.
I'm curious, when it says 360°, is it 359° degrees (and then have to back it's way around), or is it capable of a full and continuous (endless) 360° rotation?
Endless rotation no. But the camera is 360 degrees due to the field of view the lenses have.
I live on a busy main road where the camera would be active pretty much none stop during the day. Being in the UK.. would the constant use have quite an impact on the battery? We are south facing and the sun is pretty much unobstructed throughout the day but wasn’t sure if this was meant for more back garden use where it wouldn’t be in use as often?
Constantly in use would drain it quickly and with overcast days it wouldn't recover the energy used.
You can draw a custom area in the app I assume,where only you want camera to be recording and the rest of the "frame wont be recorded" that way you will save a lot of baterry :)
Wish it had a dome on the lens so it doesn't show what its tracking
So, how does it pick up movement if it comes from any other direction than right in front of where it's pointed? It's not full 360, it will only follow detected movement 360,......right?
Yeah that’s correct. The camera still needs to be pointing towards a main focal point, like the entrance to a garden or driveway etc. It would then follow people that it detects.
@@MW_1981I bought a few of these, and in my personal opinion after 30 days, I think they suck. It picks up a dog at the end of my driveway but, not the school bus that goes by, ???
Can you set the tracking to lock onto face. The zoom camera cuts off your head.
Hi, looking at the setting it just shows detection type human or vehicle and I see no option for it to zoom and track just faces. Right now it will just center on people which is fine for the wide angel but yes the zoom is cutting off my head in the clip.
You can have either len on or both you can change in the app
sorry don’t really understand the purpose of having the telephoto lens that records half of a person’s body, while tracking the person, wouldn’t it be better if it tracks the person’s face as well, otherwise the footage is totally unusable, isn’t it?
They should have re-position the telephoto lens higher to capture a person’s face as he moves around
Agree that was pointless unless you wanted to read the printing on the shirt, but I suspect this may have been addressed with an update, as other reviewers I’ve watched you do see the face, maybe it’s a setting you can change would be good to have this confirmed.
This camera is positioned very low,if its positioned at 3.5 -4M height then wont be cutting the image like that. I am thingking of getting one for testing purposes ASAP
@@denisahmed3030 I went out and purchased one anyway, and have positioned it at fence height, and surprisingly don’t have that issue, mine seems to track better and have face in view not body, so may have been a software thing that has been addressed, note if they are too close for the zoomed telephoto then they are close enough for the standard lens to see them in full detail.
The whole of the person does get recorded, when you play back the footage you can lift the image to see the persons face.
I love the idea of this camera. It checks a lot of boxes. Although, I'd like to see a wired version at some point. I just don't trust the battery cameras to catch everything, even with solar panels.
I see there is a wired version on their website, it's called the Floodlight Cam E340
@@Techtabletscan you just plug in a usb power source instead of the Solar panel? Since it’s just USB-C?
@williamluo1786 yes you can,and it will be hardwired :) its a 5V input usb C
If you have a homebase, can we store the images in there
Yes you can
Doesn't it worry you to have a security camera mounted in easy reach of the ground?
Do you need the home base for this?
No, it can connect directly to your wifi router. I tested it without it.
does this camera have cellular capabilities? rather than wifi?
Just wifi, well at least this version of it.
Hey Mr TechTablets
Pls review tab s9 11"
No plans to buy that sorry.
It's a shame they don't prices a security dome to prevent the camera lens from getting damage.
Waiting for xiaomi 14 series review❤️❤️
Sure I've preordered one but it's not coming until the 2nd of November I should have it a week or so after that at best. Worst case 2 weeks with customs holds like always.
Does this support RTSP?
RTSP, can't see it mentioned anywhere in the manual or specs but it doers stream in Realtime I see no delay.
Where is your Pixel 8 Pro review?
Maybe not coming i'll see.
Do you need wifi to use this?
Yes you do.
Wouldn't storing the footage ONLY locally just mean that a thief could take the camera and all the footage with them? Or is the footage you see in the app stored somewhere in the cloud or on your phone?
At some point you should start doing T-Shirt reviews too?
On your phone via the app when you get the alert. So if someone took it you would still see that.
T-Shirt review channel coming in 2024!
You'd see it, but you'd have no record of it for later use as evidence, etc, right?@@Techtablets
If you have homebase 3 all your cameras will save their video to the hard drive you put in there so you always have it.
You are correct. You would see it live on your phone but it’s only storing locally without the HB3.
You can however download footage onto your phone memory from within the app, but probably not if someone’s taken it!
I am sorry I bought and installed this camera. My Eufy doorbell has the ability to live view when something wakes it but the S340 will only take a video of it and notify you of it so it is actually only telling you after the fact. I wish I had bought a different brand.
Change your notification setting to view live stream instead of recorded event 🙂 problem solved!
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.
It's a matter of time it will come with three camera set up, one main, wide angle and telephoto 😂🤣
Yeah but no sd card and 3.5 mm jack 😂
@@xcidgaf 😂🤣🤪
Haha true and audio bitrate of 96kbps!
And making the camera module look like an iPhone 15 Pro Max 🤣
@@Techtablets maybe it's a sign, iPhone 16 pro max is on the way 😉🤪
price?
Check description
£179.99
I’d give it a year before the camera goes blurry and/or the solar panel fails to work… Don’t be fooled by the weather resistant rating. Anything exposed to the elements in the long run is doomed to fail. I have 3 units of the SoloCam S40, 2 already developed foggy lens, with 1 of these two with a malfunctioned solar panel. The 3rd one is just a ticking time bomb.
I have the old Solocam model and it's in the sun all day, the plastic is now yellow or cream colour but it's working fine. Lens is not blurry. I think I showed it in this video, maybe I got lucky.
Maybe give the lens a clean then, I'm weekly cleaning out the cobwebs from some of my more inactive cams.
The solar panel works fine & is reliable Ive found.
@@AR-jp5pm Can't clean inside the lens can I...? I can't even tear this thing apart...
@elphidieus No, not inside the lens obviously, just the surface of it is what I meant. If it's inside, you've got a bigger problem.
I know they say it's 'weather resistant' , which it is, but so is my watch to 10 metres. But left at that depth 24/7 won't last 24. You get what u pay for. With my exposed cameras mounted on pine trees (I live in Australia where in summer the temperature reaches over 40 degrees) I got them a little plastic shade cover dome thing to protect it from direct sunlight. & rain in winter. Help your cameras longevity where necessary.
mine works 3 times out of ten, it is hopeless at detection humans
The only thing I don't like about this model is how bulky and conspicuous it is. Someone up to no good is going to notice it immediately.
Well in a way that is a good deterrent.
I live in a 2 floor detected house. I currently have a ring doorbell camera. Plus normal led flood lights on each top side.
This camera would be perfect in the front top middle of the house giving a full 180° view from the whole house. Especially since no hardwiring required. Great product. ❤
Yes that's the best thing about it no hardwiring so palce it whereever you want and at least get the solar panel in the sun a few hours to charge it up (if possible)
