eufy SecurityeufyCam S330 (eufyCam 3) 4-Cam Kit, Security Camera Outdoor Wireless, 4K with Integrated Solar Panel, Face Recognition AI, Expandable Local Storage, Spotlight, No Monthly Fee

How I arrived at my overall rating: ***** (4.75 rounding up to 5 stars)Value ***** (5 stars)Purchase price: $469.99Pretty good deal for 3 cameras and base. NOTE: You do need to provide a hard-drive if you want to store video for any prolonged period of time.Quality/Durability **** (4 stars)Duration of use: 18 monthsAfter mounting for about 6 months, noticed one of the cameras stopped charging effectively with full sun. Contacted Eufy who replaced the broken camera with a new one and has been working no problem now for almost 1year.Ease of Use/Assembly/Install: ***** (5 stars)Pretty easy to sync camera with base. I do have a mesh setup so wifi signal isn't a problem, but without it, it would have been a little tricky esp for outdoor mounting positions on opposite end of house as router.Usefulness/Appearance/Fun Factor: ***** (5 stars)Has been extremely useful. App could use a bit more options in the settings, but works fine and notifies me based on what I set it to. Overall happy to have gotten and grow with this system.NOTE: Camera NEEDS to be mounted with full exposure to sun. Mounting it under eves so it's partially sticking out will not lead to optimal charging. That being said, this has only been 1+ years of usage, sure being exposed to the elements entirely will take it's toll on the cameras itself. For the time being, they are working great and have been durable.

These are great... I bought these for my house that we managing as an Airbnb. First of all going with solar was a great idea, I have never changed the battery in over a year and a half and it is always showing full.The video and audio quality is excellent, the night time mode is brilliant and the fact that there is no subscription is icing on top.The AI recognition is hit or miss but it does say it is in Beta.Notifications work great and the app for Android at least is great and easy to use. I like the fact that if needed I can grab video from the home base if needed onto a had drive or USB stick to turn into the police if someone was to come on our property.I wish I had bought a 4 pack back then because they are now more expensive. I will buy 2 more when my taxes come in. Great purchase. Also wish they had an outdoor/all weather doorbell.

GOOD STUFF!!!So far I have had an awesome experience with this new system. Eufy customer service is the best I have ever experienced. They answer quickly and provide real support and stand behind their product. I can't stress enough how the support and responsiveness has exceeded my expectations.Some things to note.. if you have a larger home 4000+ sf and have stucco/brick exterior you will likely need a second homebase unit. Do not expect one homebase3 to cover 6 exterior cameras around the perimeter of your home. I had multiple communication issues and camera offline issues until I split cameras between 2 homebase3 issues one toward the back and one toward the front of the home. After adding second homebase3 no issues. Cameras pull up quickly on the phone app. Motion detection and recording is flawless. The app is excellent and allows you to fully customize when and what gets detected on which cameras etc. You can also easily filter out areas of the camera field of view to avoid nuisance detection...excellent implementation.The ability to store all recordings locally on honebase is a huge plus..love it!! Love the solar panels.Love the AI that can learn and recognize family members and distinguish from strangers.. so cool. This company is really working on cutting edge features that I really appreciate and will leverage.NOT AS GOODThe mounting brackets don't seem as robust as I would like.. they work but the eufy3 cams are pretty heavy and you really have to tighten things pretty hard to keep the cameras secure and prevent it from shifting under the weight of the camera. Not a huge deal but would like something with a little more strength and adjustability.I ordered a solar panel for one of the cameras that is mounted in an area where it can't get sun. I wanted to be able to run a power line from the camera to a solar panel outside the patio to pick up sun and charge the camera. I ordered the panel from amazon but it came without a water resistant gasket for my model of camera.. the gasket keeps moisture out of the area where the usb c power cable from the solar panel connects to the camera. I called Eufy and they sent me a new panel which I was told would include the gasket.. there was also no gasket in the replacement panel from Eufy.. so long story short I still have no good way to use the exterior solar panel and I am hoping that Eufy will soon make these gaskets available for the eufy3 camera.
