eufy Security eufyCam S3 Pro 2-Cam Kit Solar Security Camera Outdoor Wireless with Solar Panel, Colour Night Vision, 4K, Forever Power 2.0, Face Recognition AI, Expandable Local Storage No Monthly Fee

I have been waiting for cameras like these to be released for many years. Finally the wait is over. I bought the Eufy S3 Pro 2 x camera and base unit on their release day for my house. I was that impressed with the cameras, the system, the recordings, the daytime night vision (it really is that good and really works, it’s like magic - they are not set to this out of the box you need to go into settings to enable this mode - there are other nighttime modes to choose from as well) and the solar charging, that I recommended them to two friends (who also bought this system and are as impressed as myself) and I also bought a second 2 x cameras & base unit to install for use at the office. For me the full HomeKit integration with Apple HomeKit AND HomeKit secure video is the reason why I have been waiting so long for something as good and as easy to install as the Eufy S300 Pro. Homekit is not essential for these cameras to work, arguably using the Eufy app is a better experience, but I’m an Apple HomeKit fan. HomeKit compatibility is a rarity and HomeKit secure video is even more a rarity especially with them being outdoor wireless solar charged cameras. Well done Eufy, adding all of these features into your cameras and system is very refreshing and has been the reason why I bought the system. My friends who also bought them (mentioned earlier) do not use them with HomeKit, solely with the Eufy app and they could not be happier. One major selling point is that unlike others, Eufy do not charge monthly subscription fees for their cameras / recordings. If you are looking to buy cameras I would suggest you need to be aware of this. The Eufy cameras are fully featured and available without their software being restricted right out of the box. I previously used Arlo cameras (3 x Arlo ultra) but never liked them. The cameras were ok but their system was terrible. I have taken them down and sold them on. They have been replaced by the Eufy cameras and system. The Eufy ones, not just as cameras but as a whole system are night and day different to Arlo. I felt I was ripped off with Arlo, I didn’t fully understand that my security cameras would effectively be useless unless I paid Arlo a monthly subscription fee. Without paying the fee I could not view the recordings on the Arlo system remotely (away from home) unless I opened up some ports on my router / firewall (that didn’t sound very secure to do), I could also not create action zones (zones where you draw a box around an area where you want to record but not record or send alerts outside of this area), these are major things, essentials even. Arlo are the security cameras that don’t want to give you much security unless you pay them monthly to do so. Eufy has been a great breath of fresh air. These cameras are great and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home security camera system. The image quality, the recordings, the notifications have been great. Well done Eufy, keep up the good work. It’s great to see you have fully adopted HomeKit and looking forward to more HomeKit devices from you in the future.

Good build quality and handy to have a solar panel included. However, for the solar panel to receive charge it does need to be located in a place that will receive full sun light.The eufy app features good functions and very adaptable and customisable to your needs. For example you can adjust the sensitivity of the motion detection.This camera system does offer 24/7 recording which I understand is now available, although I am yet to purchase their outdoor cable and expanded the storage on the homebase to allow for this function.

So simple to set up and instal. Sync the Cameras with the Homebase, mount the cameras positioning them for the area you need to cover. Choose your prefered settings, sit back and relax, your property is now secure.Amazing clarity of videos, you can set the cameras in "Daylike" mode (for night) and it's like midday 24hrs.Numerous tweaks in the settings menu.If the camera's positioned to catch the sun, the integrated solar panel keeps the battery charged efficiently.Set is complete with an additional solar panel, if required.

Good quality cameras and easy to set up with the app. The night vision colour setting is amazing too. Instant activation notices to your smartphone with no monthly charge is a big plus. I found the microphones picked up voice-over clearly, and you can even speak back through the speakers. I can recommend this product highly.

This has the look and feel of a top camera. Very easy to set up. As the weather is dreadful I have not installed in their final positions. I have manually walked round to the area they are to be installed to check connectivity and the coverage is pretty extensive round my garden.

Cams suppsed to record 24/7 but in last 2 weeks start playing… most of day no records! All reseted, done all config again and still no good. For that kind of money its overpriced rubbish! Got ezviz 3 years NEVER PROBLEM!

This cameras are a big step forward compared with Eufy cameras few years back!I’m using their battery cameras for 4 years now and still batteries hold enough power but I wanted new model especially for built-in solar panel and I purchased my first set of S3 pro! I thought that I won’t need any solar panel anymore with this ones well it’s not what I thought!So, if you buy this cameras you have to be prepared to install to each one’s a solar panel otherwise they’ll run out of juice pretty quickly, probably like a week or so and this in light traffic conditions!This is the reason for 4 stars, the image is top notch, all AI features worth all money but like all smartphones, bigger and full of features battery drain quickly! Please see my screen shot without and with solar panel and you’ll get it 😉

The overall set up was very easy, the build quality looks very good. Installation was very simple also.The picture quality is great during the day time but once it goes dark the claims of full colour in low light simple doesn’t work. I’ve had to resort to putting it on infrared mode as the other 3 options are useless.This was one of the main reason why I chose this product in the first place!The app is great with lots of added features and not having to subscribe to a month storage plan is a bonus.
