eufyCam S330 (eufyCam 3), Add-On Camera, 4K Solar

Have 4 of these mounted at each corner of my house. Video quality is fantastic, however, there is a delay in the sensors that are triggered from movement and often you only catch the end of someone or something in the video making some captures useless. Also, and this might be a setting I haven’t been able to find and adjust yet, it can be over sensitive, picking up slight movement of plants in the capture area when the wind blows or a spider walks across the lens. You can adjust the capture area but I found it can be hit or miss as to whether or not the video movement trigger stays within the area you set. For the most part it works pretty good. The advertised charging time to keep everything running is pretty spot on if you keep the solar panels in good sunlight. I’ve had these about 6+ months and they are staying charged. Only had one lose a charge for a while but once there was enough sunlight it came back online automatically. Cannot use WiFi 5, 6 or 7, you have to connect everything to a 2.4ghz band. But, with that said, 2.4 is plenty for these cameras and system. If WiFi goes out, so do your cameras. Overall, very satisfied with this system. Works great.

09.2026 - Eufy has good cameras but this mount that comes with this camera was not strong enough to hold the camera on the side of my house. I am returning it for that reason only but Eufy Cameras are well with it.

We added this to our existing Eufy camera system. Easy setup, solar charging works great, images are sharp and clear. Good value.

UPDATE 12/19/2022:>This update will solely entail on the S330 cameras>Great when the sun is out, but now that it is winter time, battery is not doing too well. The battery one of my cameras is down to 25% after about 2 months. But then again, the area where it is pointed at has a high traffic.>I setup the cameras so that at nighttime the camera lights would turn on for motion detection or when live streaming. I have noticed a few times when it would turn on unprompted and no recording was saved. With all the recent eufy cam vulnerabilities arising, I cannot help but be disappointed :(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Summary:>If you're having a déjà vu about seeing this review and looking at the attached photos/video, then that's because I have a separate review of the HomeBase 3 (S380) and 2 eufyCam 3s (S330) kit>TLDR: It is not perfect, but they work pretty well for what I need them for. There were some hiccups, but overall it was pretty easy to install and not much wiring/networking experience needed. So far so good; I will update with any major changesPros:>Daytime capture is unexpectedly nice!>Detection of humans/pets/cars is surprisingly good. The AI recognition of faces is also terrifyingly accurate for the most part>Accessing the live feeds through the eufySecurity app is pretty good and simple to navigate. Saving videos and screenshots were easy to do as well>The solar panels on the S330 charges pretty well. I saw one of them dip below 95% before during a cloudy day, but the next day, it was back up to 100% after being under the sun>The best part is how smooth the all the cameras reconnect to the HomeBase after a power loss. After a blackout, I did not have to do anything! Imagine having to go get a ladder, adjusting it so it is stable, unscrewing the cams all down, reconnecting them one-by-one to the HomeBase, and then putting them back up again while adjusting them to a good vantage point! Thankfully, I did not have to do all of that!Cons:>Unlike the included two S330s with the S380 kit, these stand-alone kit of two S330s connected to the HomeBase seamlessly. So your YMMV>When capturing a clip, it takes the cams like 3-5 seconds before capturing a video>Ghosting happens if there is not enough light source during nighttime. See the included video (I recommend setting up the camera with the "spotlights turned on" or adding "more lighting" to prevent this)>Talking through the cameras automatically triggers the anti-theft alarmOther notes:>Although I praised the camera's detection ability, it took about 2 weeks or so of tweaking and whatnot before I finally got my desired settings. For instance, I got a cam in front of the garage. In the 1st week or so, for some reason, it was not detecting anything beyond 15 feet event though I maxed out the sensitivity settings and detection areas. But by the 2nd week, it started to detect people from the sidewalk and cars passing through the street so much that I had to tone down the settings. IDK, maybe the software in these needed some time to adjust or something>The cams be very sensitive to NON-human/pet/car motion (thankfully, this can be disabled)>Camera switches from automatic to manual recording when looking at the camera's live feed. It goes back to automatic recording again when you stop viewing the live feed

I have many Eufy solar cameras around my property. I also have wired wall cameras at a front door and back deck door. I also have a wired spotlight camera on my garage. These solar ones were easy to set up, the picture quality is great. So far the battery life has been great, exception to one, but buying and installing a wider solar panel through Eufy did the trick. Depending on your wifi signal, the connectivity works great as well.

Update: Died after just under 2 years. It will run when plugged in, but the battery seems to be shot. The older 2C models are still running. I regret this purchase for this and the reasons below I had in my original 3 star review.Original review:I have four other Eufy 2C models around my property with solar panels attached, which have worked very well through all seasons. I was excited to get this camera with a solar panel built-in so I would only have one thing to mount. For most of the year it worked great and kept charged, but once late autumn arrived here, charging on this one camera dropped off significantly. I believe that’s because of a few reasons. First, the solar panel on this unit is on the top, while my other panels I have almost completely vertically. Second, the solar panel on this unit is about 1/3 the size of the standalone Eufy solar panels. Third, if I could rotate this camera 90°, so that its solar panel was facing southwest instead of at a mostly horizontal 10° angle, it could collect significantly more sunlight. However, Eufy cameras don’t allow rotation, so this is not possible. Apparently there is an outstanding feature request going on over five years to allow rotation, but at this point I would assume it’s just never going to come.As far as the other features of this camera, it’s perfectly fine and slightly better than my 2C cameras with better resolution. However, if you live in the northern latitudes, and you plan on relying on the built-in solar charger, I would consider a different camera.

These are the best cameras ever ! Highly reliable and no wires or charger needed.4k video and no monthly fees. The Eufy app is perfectly designed as well.You will love this camera.

Over the past two years I have purchased 8 of these cameras (4 in a 4-cam kit). All are outside for security. Three stopped working in less than two years. For their price I would expect them to last longer. They work well when they work, but the failure rate is too high.

Excelente producto, de muy buen material.!!! Llego en perfectas condiciones y más rápido de lo esperado.!!

The Eufy Eufycam 3 is a remarkable addition to home security systems. Its standout feature is the crystal-clear 4K video resolution, which captures detailed footage both day and night. The camera's design is sleek and weather-resistant, making it ideal for outdoor use. Setup is straightforward, and its compatibility with the Eufy Homebase ensures easy integration. The battery life is impressive, lasting for an extended period before needing a recharge. Motion detection is accurate, with customizable zones to reduce false alarms. The Eufy app enhances the experience by offering intuitive controls and easy access to recordings. One potential downside is the higher price point compared to some competitors, but for the quality and features offered, it's a worthwhile investment. The lack of a monthly subscription fee for storage is another plus. Overall, the Eufy Eufycam 3 is a solid choice for those seeking high-quality, reliable home security surveillance.

Great system. Nice to be able to purchase an add-on camera.

Me encantaron. La imagen muy nítida, el sonido muy bueno. Solo le falta mejorar la visión nocturna porque es deficiente.

A most have for home security, and no subscription fee. High quality video, and easy setup. I have order 5 and not one problem for the past 3 years
