EufyCam S330 (EufyCam 3): 4K Solar Security Camera Unboxing & Review

We bought this model about 6 weeks ago. It's our first Eufy. Like you said, super easy to install. Love the solar - the batteries are always charged. The picture is great, night vision is very nice. I like the app, very user friendly. But the misses and the half misses ( a shoe, someone walking away, one second of the person and 19 seconds of your driveway) is just too frequent. Also, when I pull up an event of let's say the "garage" - it triggers it to record the garage. It does this every single time I pull up an event! So not only does the triggered alert cover part of the recording I'm trying to watch, it also takes up space! I love everything about this camera, but it's going back because it fails at the one job I need it to do. It will record a leaf blowing, but not the UPS truck and delivery. Too many recordings of nothing and not enough of something. I've spent hours adjusting them on the app, calling customer service, but it's not doing the one job it needs to do.

Eufy in my opinion is ahead of the game in the camera department. They continue to improve so fast. Your wishlist is mine as well. Eufy please make these wishlist things happen!

I have the Eufy cameras you recharge. Have had them a couple of years. This could be my next one.

It is a sleek looking camera. I like the alarm feature if someone messes with it. Good review!

Very cool Security camera George Langabeer.

Just want to start this comment with I love Eufy cameras & ecosystem in general. I have 6 of the S330 cameras and live in Florida. I would stay away from these cameras if you can. I installed these cameras on the corners of my house with full sun exposure. They work great and never went below 90%. However after 8-9 months I noticed that they were no longer charging as quick and 1 would no longer charge. I thought all I needed to do was clean the solar panel off. All 6 of my solar panels on the cameras were peeling. I contacted Eufy and with a couple of info requests they said they were from a bad batch and to send them back & they would send 6 new cameras which they did. 9 months later I have the same issue with the solar panels. Looks like sandpaper. I dont know what solar panels they use but they don’t last. They say my warranty is past and will not replace them. I now have 6 cameras that will charge very slowly and 2 that will no longer charge. They have offered to send the separate solar panels but that is the reason I did not buy other company’s cameras. In my personal experience the cameras themselves are great but the solar panel will only work for about a year.

Hey George. I like your videos. I prefer reviews by a person I can see, who has actually installed and used gear. I won't even watch by reviewers you don't see. You're obviously are experienced and informed on security cameras. One thing that is barely mentioned in most reviews I've seen is the app. I've been using Wyze for a few years. The cameras are fine for the money, but their app is too unreliable. It often fails to send notifications and in some cases, doesn't record an event. All the cameras are pretty good these days. The app/system seems to be what makes or breaks the system. I really like how you ran through the settings on the app. Perhaps you could do a review just of the apps. I would really like to hear what you've experienced. Is the Eufy app reliable? Thanks for your video.

Thanks you, lots of the speca dont talk about as muxh asyou did thanks

These cameras are ok but my issue is the recording time is only 20sec. Then it stops recordings, also it doesnt pick up all motion. Sometime people walks up to the door and it doesnt even pick them up..

Thanks! I thot we only needed 1 camera but we must buy 2 in the package? If we put the 2nd camera in the back, we will need to black out our neighbour's backyard pool area. Thanx again

FOR THOSE DOING RESEARCH I'LL SAVE YOU THE TIME, as long as you don't use Apple Homekit and you don't need high bandwidth wired system, this is it, everything else will have a deal breaker that the S330 doesn't have. My credentials are: I've watched every review and comparison on YouTube, every Reddit thread, and I've read the most upvoted reviews on pretty much every brand you can buy on Amazon.

Two issues not discussed: 1 - WiFi signal range How far can I mount a camera, like on a separated building structure from home base and st - ill receive a signal? 2 - Color Why do most of these outdoor gadgets come only in white? White fades to yellow in UV light over time and degrades the appearance. I prefer a black only option. Does this come available in black?

Thank you very much for great review. Can you advice please some video camera set with multi cam live stream??? Really important for me. Thank you for your work

I'm thinking about getting this and using it in the Philippines. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the video George. Can the camera work in low light conditions in colour without the use of the spotlight? If so, what’s the picture quality like? Also, can the camera also be powered via a cable run if the solar does not seem to be working too well in the chosen location? Thanks

Hey George. Which battery-powered indoor camera do you recommend from the Eufy ecosystem? I am planning to put some on the corners of the ceilings in the hallways.

I need some cams that can go about 50ish feet, have decent NV, and doesnt run on wifi. So many choices, its pretty confusing.

is it possible to work this s330 WITHOUT the HomeBase 3?? just stand alone

Thank you - is one able to add on the doorbell / camera later to the system?

Purchased the three camera system a couple of weeks ago and already having problems with the the cameras holding charge or charging at all, and they are all installed in direct sunlight in the sunshine state lol. Is it only me or is there other people having same problem? Thinking about returning them.
