eufy S3 Pro Solar Cam Kit

The eufy had the highest picture quality, and the fastest recording time other than the continuously recording Reolink Altas. It also has the option for rich notifications that are delivered relatively quickly, and the most user-friendly app that makes it simple to scrub through your footage. It supports person, vehicle, pet, and even familiar face detection without any monthly subscription and it records locally to the home base. This is the first eufy home base that I’ve ever tested that continues to work when blocked from the internet, which is a big step forward for the most privacy conscious people. The eufy’s main weakness was daytime footage where it would stop recording after 30 seconds even on optimal surveillance mode. Eufy does have a custom recording mode where you can set the clip length up to 120 seconds with a 5 second retrigger time, but the longer you set the clip length the lower resolution the file will be, so at 60 seconds you’re limited to 1440p and at 120 seconds you can only record 1080p. But if you’re having issues with recording entire events, at least there are options. The eufy was by far the most expensive coming in at $220 per camera if you buy the two-camera kit, but in this case the performance does justify the increased price.
