Eufy S340 Security Camera - amzlink.to/az0cHIJWTIo2s
All My Favorite DIY Electrical Tools - amzlink.to/az0fGo9mGJ3Em
Exterior cameras continue to get more capable and less expensive which benefits us DIY homeowners. Now with security cameras like the Eufy S340 you don't even need to run power to the mounting location. This has both opened up where we can mount cameras and also dramatically lowered the installation time. This is my favorite overall security camera because of its capability, ease of installation, no monthly fees, and internal storage. Check out this quick installation video to see if the Eufy S340 is right for your home monitoring and security needs.

Funny I just put up 2 of these same cameras today. Disappointed over the Eufy floodlight camera. The detection only works in the direction the camera is facing. The floodlight camera has the sensor on the body of the unit so it can detect motion even when the camera is pointing in another direction.

@mikestamps6747 7 месяцев назад

Good, thorough video. I’ve been looking a new home security camera system. I’m leaning towards Ring because they offer them in a black housing and NO subscription fees. In my opinion black is a lot less noticeable. I’m surprised cam companies don’t offer a variety of basic colors for esthetics. Along with white and black, maybe a tan, or charcoal gray housing.

@festerofest4374 7 месяцев назад

Just mask off the necessary areas and spray paint it the color you want. With plastic best to abrade the surface first with something very fine like a ScotchBrite pad and then clean with alcohol. Rust-Olium make a good spray paint in lots of colors that bonds well to plastic.

@efbenchimol 4 дня назад

Hi, I don’t know if you answered that before, but what’s app do you use in this video to reach the correct angle?

@REXOB9 7 месяцев назад

The angle for your solar panel - you want to go a little lower than the "average" altitude of the sun - you want to bias toward the winter months when there are fewer hours of daylight and the sun is lower in the sky. If you can cover the winter months, then the longer summer days will have no problem charging the battery.

@frosted1030 7 месяцев назад

Unless the pannel actually moves automatically, you will never be optimised.

@EverydayHomeRepairs 7 месяцев назад

Good point. Technically in my area 31 degrees is ideal as compared to the 43 degrees set in the video 👍

@explor360 7 месяцев назад

The easiest way to figure out the proper angle is to use the latitude of your home…

@baxtronx5972 Месяц назад

@mikewiththebluecar 2 дня назад

one thing he shouldve mentioned is that it doesnt do 24/7 recording. none of Eufee's solar or battery powered cameras can record 24/7 they only record up to 2 minute clips if someone is detected. in order to get 24/7 recording you have to buy a wired device and a Homebase.

@frosted1030 7 месяцев назад

Eufy is legendary for their weak security and the forced subscription service. Not what I would choose.

@EverydayHomeRepairs 7 месяцев назад

Yeah the security issues has been a common thread and appreciate the feedback. Haven't ran across the forced subscription? Is this for additional storage?

@inhocsigno9151 7 месяцев назад

I had some security cameras and they need unrestricted access to my home router, and used a data storage server run by China. Not good.

@marvinsulzer8258 12 дней назад

The camera is chargeable, fully charged without solar apparently it can last an entire year on one charge. Solar is just to keep it fully charged. And if it does drain in winter, one sunny day is enough to charge it up

@fightingmink 7 месяцев назад

Solar panels get beat up by the weather, making less efficient each year. $340 for each camera can get expensive when you want to have surveillance all around the home. I have rechargeable cameras for 4 years and I only recharge them ever 3-5 months at 1/3 the cost.

@festerofest4374 7 месяцев назад

The solar panels for my camera cost $40 and have been working fine for 2 years so far. Very worth it to me to not have to haul out the ladders every few months to charge batteries (and leave the ladders out the whole time the batteries are charging, unless I want to pay more for extra batters and do the swap and take the ladders down then). I like my solar panels.

@battery_wattage 7 месяцев назад

I had looked into the issue. The issue was false advertisement of 100% independence from cloud services. Thumbnails were temporarily stored without encryption, though you still needed your username and password unless you can guess the URL perfectly which is harder than guessing a password. If Eufy just fixed the mistake as soon as it was noticed, there wouldn’t be so much negative press. There were also claims that there was no video encryption, but I have not found any hard evidence unlike the thumbnail incident. If anyone can find hard evidence, I would appreciate it.
