Introduction

The eufy Security SoloCam S340 (T81703W1) promises a lot: solar-powered operation, 360° surveillance, crystal-clear video, and all without the hassle of monthly subscriptions. After several weeks of testing in various conditions, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review. This review covers setup, performance, image quality, and overall usability.

Key Features

The SoloCam S340 boasts several compelling features, including its solar-powered design, 360° pan and tilt functionality, and impressive 3K resolution (2K with AI tracking). The 8x zoom is also a noteworthy feature, allowing for detailed views of subjects at a distance. The ease of setup, emphasized by eufy, was a significant selling point. The lack of a monthly fee is another major advantage over many competitors.

Performance and Image Quality

During my testing, the SoloCam S340 consistently delivered impressive video quality in well-lit conditions. The 3K resolution is certainly noticeable, producing sharp, detailed images. The 8x zoom functioned effectively, although image clarity did degrade slightly at maximum zoom. Night vision was adequate but not exceptional, performing best in areas with some ambient light. The solar panel kept the camera adequately charged, even during several days of overcast weather. The 360° pan and tilt mechanism worked flawlessly, providing truly comprehensive coverage of my property. AI tracking proved reliable in identifying and following moving objects.

I experienced a few minor lags in the app’s response to commands, particularly when the camera was adjusting its position quickly, however it was rarely noticeable.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Excellent image quality, reliable solar power, easy setup, 360° coverage, no monthly fees, impressive zoom capabilities
• Cons: Minor lag in app responsiveness at times, night vision could be improved in low-light conditions, 2K resolution limit with AI features

Final Verdict

The eufy Security SoloCam S340 (T81703W1) is a strong contender in the home security camera market. Its impressive features, including the solar power and 360° surveillance, are highly attractive. While there are minor drawbacks regarding night vision and app responsiveness, the overall performance justifies the purchase. For those looking for a reliable, feature-rich, and subscription-free security camera, the SoloCam S340 is a highly recommended option.
