eufyCam S3 Pro

For the past few years I've run a eufy 2k outdoor cam continuous recording (the e220 outdoor) off a 12v deep cycle battery that gets charged off a 50w solar panel. I have a dual battery solar charge controller that splits the solar panel charging between the battery driving my security cameras and s

I don't want to rain on your parade but EUFY is bad, I say that with experience because I heavily invested in EUFY and it failed me when I needed it the most. Where I live EUFY is heavily over priced, but I was able to purchase from a seller that broke up packs, this just meant I was able to get the

We’ve got eufy and they are great - good audio / visual at night. Easy app to delete recordings not needed etc https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/eufy-s3-pro-security-camera-kit-2-pack-1

I had similar problems with the S3 Pro. It still isn't perfect, but it is a lot better. I did a number of things. I have 3 access points in my wifi. I repositioned those in my house so that my cameras would all be able to find them with multi bridge. I also repositioned some bridges (Hue, Aqara) to

Given the requirements you have, the Eufy S3 pro seems like a good candidate. I have three of these deployed and the solar battery is great and they work well with homekit secure video.

Arriving at this Eufy/Homekit question/topic now - just received a Homebase 3 and 4x S3 Pro cameras and understand: (a) Cameras are natively Homekit but whilst my iCloud plan allows for unlimited Homekit Secure Video cameras, the Homebase limits this to 4 cameras (b) Native HKSV is restricted to 108

The Ring system, I've heard both good and bad. Our neighborhood has quite a few of them, and every so often theres a report of missing an event, or bad video. Others have had no issues. Got a buddy who has the alarm subscription and he says its working well. I used to have the Arlo camera system, Pr

S3 pro sucks. Not sure about the rest but don't waste your money. Mine is unreliable, when it does work....frames skip like crazy...aka you see someone then 5 seconds goes by in an instant and they are gone from the next frame. The best feature is the spotlight on motion, it scares people off. As a

You are having red same issues with the eufy s3 pro? If so i might consider ring then. I already pay for ring for the security monitoring so would be free for me. I have home assistant running so would still show up in HomeKit i believe

The answer to why it doesn’t charge from the solar panel is because it can’t. Unlike the S340 and the new S3 Pro, according (after much persuasion) to eufy and verified by my own testing using a power meter the eufyCam 3 is incapable of receiving a charge from an external solar panel. Well, that’s a
