I bought this camera after I watched your videos directly from eufy. I ordered it direct from eufy. The camera arrived damaged, I immediately filed a ticket, initially they sent me a bunch of emails to which I sent them all the information, pictures, serial numbers etc. The last email I got said "they have assigned my ticket to a specialist" and then I heard nothing back. I called their support number and stayed on line for hours at a time and no one picks up. My issue is still unresolved and it's been 4 days with no news from eufy's customer don't-care. Also, this makes me think if the camera is fragile enough to break apart in shipping, it is not going to withstand severe weather conditions like hail and high winds which is common in my area.

Actually, most crimes are committed during the day as that's when people aren't home.

Because this is a tracking camera, it might not have a lot of glare but I will test it in my future videos. Remember be bale to read plates depends on a lot of factors...angle of the camera, distance and glare.

@sking3646 9 месяцев назад

@4Shreks that may be true but its also true that many crimes are also committed between 3AM to 5AM...bottom line is the license plate test at night time would be very useful.

Thanks for your thourough testing, we appreciate your time and effort 👍 I couldn't wait, i just ordered 2x E340 cameras and a homebase 3, my wife wont be happy 😂 Eufy have really raised the bar with these new cameras, does it detect at 40 feet in normal mode or only in dual mode with the zoom lense active ? Im wondering if the zoom lense still detects movement when not in dual mode

It uses a PIR sensor for its motion detection so it is the same on both view modes.

@nscalewunderland 6 месяцев назад

Awesome review. I bought one of these and it’s amazing. Blows my Blink system out of the water. And since the new Blinks are over $100 each, this S340 is a no-brainer. Thank you! Question: what does overlapping motion activity areas do? You can put two areas in (a green & a blue one) … should they overlap or be separate or does it matter? Do I get twice as sensitive motion detection if I put two in overlapping?

@DustyRolle 9 месяцев назад

I was getting really to abandon eufy. I recently bought a Reolink Trackmix solar version and it's impressive I love it. Buttt this is very tempting to try out this has very compact feeling. I must say I really appreciate your reviews this is my first stop before buying a new product!! I salute you all the way from The Bahamas!!

@GITSSAC 9 месяцев назад

So you recommend reolink? I'm trying to decide between them and eufy

@DustyRolle 9 месяцев назад

Honestly the Reolink Trackmix battery/solar version has been out for a while now so it's tried testing and proven but, this new eufy I'll wait for some time to pass to see more reviews from users. The only con about the reolink so far for me is, it doesn't send a thumbnail pic with the notification. Overall in general between the variety of Reolink and Eufy solar cams I own, I find that the battery in the reolink cams last much long than the Eufy cams. My Reolinks cams are usually triggered by tree branches all day essentially causing them to record all day and to my surprise the battery level rarely drops below 94%. With my Eufy cams, the batteries drains significantly faster and would end up to 60-70%. Maybe the Reolink solar panel is more efficient as it for sure charges the cams much quicker. But back to this product comparison, after seeing the video performance I would say this Eufy s340 AI tracking is much smoother no jerky panning to track subject it's much more fluid. I do notice though that the Reolink Trackmix hybrid zoom seems to have further zoom, I can read a car license plate 80- 100ft away. Maybe @LifeHackster can do a zoom comparison video to confirm. I don't think you can go wrong with this S340 though I will buy one to test it out since it's such a compact package.@@GITSSAC

Love your videos and picked up the S300 package with Homebase 3 last Christmas based on your review. Happy with it but there are some areas along front of house that I lose field of view. In your opinion, given the s300 has 4k vs s340 having lower quality but tracking capability, is there enough difference given up having full field of vision coverage vs 4k video?

Yes, you can have multiple cameras. The detection is only around the same FOV of the camera though not 180 or 360.

@jnlin8569 9 месяцев назад

@lifehackster your reviews are so good and thorough. Thank you! What is the notification alert speed at night when you walk across from side to side and then towards it? Are the notification alert speeds faster when connected to homebase3? Can you consider adding a comparison table (like how throttle house compares lap times for cats) or comparison video section for every Eufy camera that you've tested (like how Alex on autos for example compares similar cars' size, pros, cons, value, etc) ? Or maybe have a chart on your website? Eufy doesn't seem to show notification alert speed on their website . Thanks for all the great work!

@LifeHackster 9 месяцев назад

As to notifications and Eufy, battery powered ones (the ones that uses a PIR sensor) are usually in the range of 7-10 seconds on the text and 10-12 on the thumbnail. Their wired ones are usually 3-6 seconds text and 6-8 seconds thumbnail. These are the same in both daytime and at night.
