The Eufy Solocam S340 is one step closer to the ideal solar-powered security camera ever. The fact that this gimballed cam has one of the most efficient solar panel tech (even when it's cloudy out) definitely helps.

(Note: At 5:47 and 6:01 I failed to state the distance I was standing away from the S340. It's ~40' and ~30' respectively.)

    Thanks for the review, nice points raised for and against. I ordered one as it seems to meet my needs

    I literally walked by a house this morning and saw the solar panel and camera and had no idea what it was😛 Thanks for enlightening me. It's a great concept 🙂

    I am looking to get one for our camp in Maine so it was refreshing to hear a review that was in Maine given that it is solar powered.

    Hi, I'm also using this S340 solocam for a few weeks now. It's working is fine, but I think the solar panel is not working suffient because my battery looks like its draining (below 75% now and no signs of charging in the dashboard whatsoever). My setup is just like yours with the panel in early morning sunlight, the power source is external solar panel. Got some insights for me to possibly solve my power problem? [PS: when I set the power source to battery, what is the use of the solar panel right then? Does it charge the battery or somethink like that?]
  • @inad9300
    Regarding motion detection, will it detect objects coming at it from any direction (360º), then point the camera at them? Or do they need to be within the camera's 135º field of view for the camera to start tracking them?
  • @hycron1234
    Hmmm.. can you tilt* the camera up when zoomed in 3x? Also the controls looked really unresponsive.
