S300 eufyCam 3C 2-Cam Kit Security Camera Outdoor Wireless, 4K Camera, Expandable Local Storage Up To 16TB, Face Recognition AI, Spotlight, Color Night Vision, No Monthly Fee

TLDR; Superb wireless, no subscription, motion activated only (no 24/7 function) hassle free security cameras. Installation - Really easy. Literally the hardest thing was opening the box! Handy mounting advice in the app, primarily about what height/ angle to fit etc. Picture quality - Superb. In truth, I don't notice a huge difference between 2k or 4k, however, 4k will allow you to zoom in 8 x rather than "just" x 4. Both day time & night time footage cannot be faulted. Some may quibble at the relatively low 15 frames per second limitation in order to not take up so much recording space, but the quality is still exceptional. Night time you have the choice of infrared/ black & white or colour by using the spotlight. Obviously the colour will use up more battery, personal preference, but I default to black & white & manually turn on the spotlight from the app if I want colour. As for the spotlight, you can set low, medium or high, at high I find it lights up a decent area to a decent degree. Obviously it is "just" a spotlight, not a floodlight (Aootek 2,500 lumens hard to fault if you need a floodlight). Motion Detection - Excellent. We have 3 cameras, front, back & driveway. The back & driveway are optimally positioned & flawless. It will pick up motion a good 25 foot away. We are still at the experimental stage with our front camera due entirely to our sub-optimal positioning of the camera, but even then it very seldom misses anything. There are various settings that you can adjust for each camera & while of course you can plug & play for those not inclined to faff about, for nerds like me ;-) you will want & dare I say enjoy optimising your settings. Battery - As others have commented, 6 month battery is at best a push for I would assume most people, though of course it depends on your settings, surroundings etc. We live on a non-working farm, but have a rural road that is effectively a main road in focus to the front camera. Our Driveway cam has a Diyarts 6W solar panel (brilliant by the way) which keeps it topped up at 100% anyway & this one gets the most usage from us. Even in cloudy weather & a shaded area with relatively heavy use, recording, logging in frequently to have a nose ;-), it's still at 100%. My back camera I often turn off as its just us & the dogs, but that loses roughly only 1% a day if that, but again when it's on I frequently check in. My front however has lost 35% in 3 days. I think this is due to having what is effectively a main road in frame & although I have set activity zones to account for this, I assume it must be on an almost permanent state of alert as it has detected (not recorded) over 5k events in around a week compared to under 200 on my other 2. Frankly I would rather this than missing things. It has taken a while to keep tweaking the activity zone to not get false alerts from passing traffic, but all part of the fun for me! Besides, if charging is an issue, there are options. A solar panel (Diyarts is magnificent), hanging an external battery charger as I do to save brining it in & having to reposition or a long lead from your mains. Our front is north facing so hardly any sun, but given how good our panel is in not dissimilar conditions on the driveway, I will almost certainly put up a solar panel for this one too. Currently hanging an external battery for an hour or 2 every week is not exactly a hardship. Our back camera would get pretty close to the advertised 6 month's battery. 24/7 - Not an option so if you need that, this isn't for you. I do think it would be a handy feature for Eufy to allow this as attaching solar panels (or getting the next model up that come with built in solar) negates the need for the cameras to be low energy use. But the most minor of quibbles. Storage - It comes with 16Gb of data which assuming for most people it's simply homeowners, friends, families, pets, delivery drivers etc being picked up, we probably don't want to keep those. So regular maintenance to delete will ensure this is enough for most people. However, for the sake of around £35, you can get the excellent Crucial 1TB Solid State Drive - the quick one for techphobes ;-) which future proofs you. Summary - I agonised over what system to get & did more research than is probably healthy ;-) before settling on this. Really happy I did. If you can afford the Eufy 3, then the built in solar, IP67 v IP 65 rating & ant-theft is compelling. We intend to add further cameras to our system & will purchase these when they aren't over double the price. The Homebase will take up to 16 cameras, however Eufy recommend no more than 10 otherwise it may affect performance. But 10 will be more than enough for most people, certainly us! But this system is brilliant, comes highly recommended.

I’ve been using the eufy Security S300 eufyCam 3C for 4- 6 months now, and it has exceeded my expectations. The 4K resolution provides crystal-clear video quality, even at night, thanks to the color night vision and built-in spotlight. The face recognition AI is a great feature, helping to filter alerts based on known individuals. Pros: ✅ 4K Ultra HD Clarity: Sharp, detailed video that captures every detail. ✅ No Monthly Fees: Local storage (expandable up to 16TB!) means no cloud subscription is required. ✅ Wireless & Easy to Install: Hassle-free setup with a strong battery life. ✅ AI-Powered Face Recognition: Reduces false alerts by recognizing familiar faces. ✅ Spotlight & Color Night Vision: Ensures excellent visibility even in low-light conditions. Cons: ❌ None My Final Verdict: This is a top quality wireless security camera system with stunning 4K quality, AI features, and no hidden fees. If you’re looking for a smart, reliable, and cost-effective security solution, the eufyCam 3C is definitely worth considering!

Excellent product to date, if you want a truly wireless, camera with the ability to store endless footage without the costly monthly fees associated with other brands..this is the product for you. The only negative is that you will have to purchase a mini hard drive to insert in to the homebase to expand the memory to 1TB, 2TB etc..they do come with a 16Gig pre installed...obviously quite small for a camera memory. One of the biggest plusses is the battery life...( states can be up to 3 months) This is obviously dependant on how often they are activated & use of the mini floodlight on the camera..which has 3 settings low/med/high. Picture quality is excellent in both colour & Night mode. The 2 way audio is okay...little tinny...but still clear. MULTITUDE of settings you can alter via the phone app..Product Support & Customer Community feedback seem robust & healthy...just one camera that is constantly being triggered on a regular basis through the day that is still on 80% battery life after 10 weeks..without any need to recharge...so seems to be as they state. The AI Face recognition function is particularly useful..as once designated..it tells you WHO...& Not just when the footage was recorded...& despite some facial shots not being full face on..it still recognised them via the AI Algorthym ( these were purchased solely for indoor use..but they do excellent outdoor models. From the picture the camera is set up on my stairs ( I live above a pub)...the staff have access to monies on my stairs...so for obvious reasons that's what it's for.

For a technophobe like me, I was surprised just how simple this was to set up. The picture quality is really amazing and most importantly for me, the notification is instant, unlike the popular brand it is replacing. And no more yearly subscriptions! I would definitely recommend this Eufy security product.

I purchased this plus an additional camera for a 4 camera setup. With the base placed in my attic and a camera on each corner of the house and charge cables fed into the attic the system works well. The day and night quality is really good and I have no trouble picking out registration plates on cars on the other side of the road, approx 40m away. The system also allows me to add faces of family and friends and even my regular postman so I get alerts and I know if I have mail!! The cameras need to be within 30m of the base to communicate effectively and this was perfectly within range for my setup. Its early days but battery life has only dropped 6% in 4 weeks, amazing!

Good cameras with sharp images!

Jestem bardzo zadowolony z tego systemu.

Zo ver is goed.

I used cameras in door and their battery is not good at all, maximum 6 to 10 days. But video quality, build quality, and audio everything is awesome
