I’ve been gradually building out a Eufy security system around our home and this camera has been one of the best additions so far.
Installation was straightforward, and getting it connected through the Eufy app was quick and hassle-free. The app itself is excellent — easy to navigate, responsive, and packed with useful features without feeling overly complicated.
The picture quality is superb. During the day the image is sharp and detailed, and the dual-camera setup gives a much better view of the surrounding area than a standard fixed camera. The pan and tilt functionality works smoothly and makes it easy to cover a large area without worrying about blind spots.
One feature I’ve found particularly useful is the activity zone and area mapping. It allows you to fine-tune exactly where motion is detected, which has significantly reduced unnecessary notifications from passing traffic and other irrelevant movement.
The solar panel has also been surprisingly effective. Since installation the camera has remained fully charged without any need for manual charging, even with regular activity throughout the day. It’s very much a fit-and-forget solution.
Integration with Alexa has been excellent too. I can view the camera feed directly on our Echo Show 11, which is incredibly useful when checking who’s outside without reaching for my phone.
The fact there’s no ongoing subscription fee is another major advantage. Overall, this is a fantastic security camera that delivers excellent image quality, reliable performance and great smart home integration. Very impressed with both the camera and the wider Eufy ecosystem.
We have had an an Arlo security camera It was mounted on a south facing wall and when the sun shone directly on it, the camera took a recording, sometimes it took dozens of false recordings a day with no one there at all. There is no way to stop it doing this. We have just replaced it with a eufy Security SoloCam S340 & we are very please with it. We have mounted it in exactly the same position that the Arlo camera was positioned & there are NO false recordings activated by the sun. We used a square wooden fence post cap with a large screw positioned in the middle of it to fasten it to the house wall & screwed the camera bracket onto fence post cap. The Eufy camera was very ease to set up. We have an EE smart router with fast fibre broadband. It has 2 band speeds, 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz. The Eufy camera uses the 2.4GHz band speed & we had to temporarly disable the 5GHz band speed in order to synchronise the camera to the EE router. There are various settings on the camera, We set it for humans & vehicles & it records every time it sees a person or a vehicle, the picture is superb both day & night. From the security app we can swivel the camera & we can set a light to come on which shows the picture in colour at night. We charged the camera from the mains using the USB socket before fitting & positioned the solar panel on top of the camera. It keeps fully charged. This is an excellent security camera & we are very pleased with it.
This is a solid outdoor camera for the price, mainly because the solar charging actually works reliably. While the audio and notification speeds aren’t perfect, the image quality and battery life make it a winner for my setup.
Pros:
Solar charging is genuine: I mounted this on the front corner of the house. For most of the year, it stays near 100%. Even now in winter with the sun lower and shorter days, the charge is only slowly dropping… it has enough buffer to easily last until summer without a manual charge.
Dual Camera Logic: The 3K wide angle is crisp. The zoom lens is handy to have for checking details, though I’ve found the quality does drop off noticeably once you start zooming in.
Strong Infra-Red Performance: I strictly use the standard IR black-and-white night vision rather than the spotlight “Colour Night Vision.” The image remains clear and sharp without drawing attention to the camera.
Cons:
Notification Lag: This is a recurring theme I have with my Eufy products. Even connected to the HomeBase, there is a consistent 10-15 second delay before the notification hits my phone.
Activity Zones are hit or miss: I have the detection set to “All Motion” to catch everything, but the defined activity zones are inconsistent. I frequently get alerts for motion well outside the drawn lines.
Audio Quality: The two-way audio is functional but not the clearest; it can sound a bit muffled.
My Experience: I bought the S340 to monitor passing foot traffic and our driveway, adding it to my existing ecosystem of Eufy cameras and the HomeBase.
Installation was straightforward, and the tracking performs well, picking up subjects even in low light. The standout feature for me is the solar panel. Unlike other “solar compatible” cameras I’ve used that still need a plug-in during winter, this unit’s battery management is impressive.
However, if you need instant alerts, you should be aware of the lag. By the time the notification pops up 15 seconds later, the delivery driver or passerby is often already gone. Also, regarding the “hit or miss” zones… since I use “All Motion,” the camera seems to prioritise sensitivity over the strict boundaries I drew, so expect some false positives if you monitor a busy street.
If you are already in the Eufy ecosystem and want a camera you don’t have to climb a ladder to recharge, this is the one to get. It’s perfect for passive monitoring (recording events to watch later), but maybe less ideal if you need to talk to someone at your door instantly.
A really excellent piece of kit. This camera works really well and way better than the expensive Google product with it’s expensive subscription. No subscription needed here. Ours faces north and you can imagine it gets hardly any Sun light but the battery is staying fully charged. The motion detection and the camera following people is really good. It was easy to fit, just charge it up put it together and mount it. I fixed mine to a piece of treated wood and fixed the wood to the wall and the clipped on the camera. The images day and night are of good quality. I can’t find anything to fault. The app is a bit clunky and not intuitive but it works. I’ve also integrated it into our Google Home so anyone on our Google home can view the camera on their own device. It even pops up on the TV, we have Google TV.
Worth for the value
I was looking for different camera and could not decided which one should buy. However, when I brought this, I had mixed feeling from the review and first time buyer for such item. Believe me, this was one of best decision in made to get. Great produc
This is an excellent product that I would recommend to anyone looking for a security camera.
Detection is very good over a wide angle and distance and the video stored is clear and sharp even at night . It can take black and white images at night without needing to use the built in light which saves on battery use.
The built in solar panel works well to top up the battery even in low light in the winter .
The app was simple to install and made it easy to set up. There are options to select which notifications to receive (any motion, human etc) and the app allows you to connect and review live like a doorbell camera or record and review later.
There is a live microphone link so you can communicate in real time with a courier etc if needed but I haven’t tried that yet.
The camera automatically tracks and swivels as someone walks up and past it or you can set preferred views that zoom in to specific areas you want to monitor.
Built in storage seems sufficient to store recorded video but it can be linked to a hub device if you want to store more video for longer.
All in all it just works really well. I will probably buy a second one to monitor the back of the house as well . No hesitation in recommending this.
Desempeo super consistente en todos sentidos!
La mejor opcin sin duda!! Estable, carga eficiente, app intiutiva y completa. La AI es efectiva al igual q la oportunidad de las notificaciones. Llevo 3 semanas monitoreando y comparando su desempe con la Ring Plus y sin duda eufy S340 es un producto ms confiable y CONSISTENTE en todos los sentidos.
After 5 months of ownership, I thought it was time to write a review. First of all, very easy to set up. Unfortunately, the first one had to go back because it kept losing the Wi-Fi connection (even when it was moved a few feet from the router). Eufy were good, they sent a replacement which has been ok so far. The solar panel is inadequate during the winter months, you always lose a few % of the battery a day. This partly due to the size of the panel and the fact I lose the sun halfway through the day. Come the better weather and bright sun its actually charging up without losing any battery (even when the sun disappears). The app is decent enough and you can check the solar on there. Overall, I’m pleased with it. Come the winter I know I will just have to charge it now and again. Quality of the images is very good and the zoom works well.
