Very good review. I've watched several. Thanks for being so thorough. I'm going to purchase this camera for my back and front of my home. I like the fact that I can install it myself and not need a subscription. I'm unfamiliar with this brand. This will be my first purchase. Let me know the things you recommend that are single-mom affordable and easy to install. I also need to make sure it doesn't affect my internet connection negatively because I work from home. Thank you.
I think eufy products work very well and should be very easy for you to setup. As long as you have wifi coverage in the areas that you want to install, these should work very well. Feel free to reach out to me by email, burnshomeautomation@gmail.com if you have any issues.
Can you explain what the Hybrid or Smart Zoom does? As far as I can see on my S340, there is nothing "smart" or "hybrid" about it: just two prime focal length cameras stacked on top of each other. Reolink's Hybrid Zoom actually DOES zoom from wide to tight automatically, starting from the wide camera/lens, bridging the gap digitally until you get to the zoom camera lens.
My full understanding from what Eufy told me, basically the “hybrid” zoom is going from the wide angle to telephoto lens, and then pinch and zoom the screen an additional 5x for a total of 8x “hybrid” zoom. Not sure thats exactly what you are wanting but that is the information I got from Eufy.
When I initially did the video, they hadn't fully rolled out the ability to connect to Homebase 3, it has been updated and fully works with homebase 3 now.
