Battery-operated outdoor security cameras are convenient to install but can be a hassle to recharge or replace batteries. However, the EufyCam 3 S330 has found a solution to this problem with its solar charging panel. This two-camera pack may come with a higher price tag and require the HomeBase 3 hub, but its impressive features make it worth considering. With crisp 4K resolution, color night vision, an integrated spotlight, and a 100db siren, this security system has it all.
The solar panel on top of the camera keeps the internal battery charged with just two hours of sunlight per day. If needed, the camera can also be charged indoors using the provided cable. Eufy claims that the battery can last up to a year between charges, even without the solar panel, under normal usage conditions.
This camera supports full-color and black-and-white modes for night vision recording, offers 4K resolution, and has a 135-degree field of view. It also utilizes AI self-learning to recognize faces and detect people, pets, and vehicles.
Unlike many other security systems, the eufyCam S330 does not require a subscription for all its features. Once the system is installed, there are no ongoing costs.

Despite its price tag, the eufyCam 3 S330 provides great value for your investment.
