Eufy SoloCam S340 Buying Guide: Solar & 360° Coverage

The Anker Eufy SoloCam S340 is a wireless outdoor security camera designed for easy installation without complex wiring [S1]. Its primary advantage is the pan-tilt functionality, allowing 360° horizontal and 70° vertical coverage to eliminate blind spots around entrances or parking areas [S1, S2]. The camera features a dual-lens system: a 3K wide-angle lens and a 2K telephoto lens, supporting up to 8x zoom (a combination of 3x optical and digital zoom) to clearly identify faces and license plates [S1, S2]. For power, it includes a detachable solar panel that can maintain the battery if exposed to sunlight for approximately 2 hours per day [S2]. Data is stored locally on an encrypted 8GB internal memory, meaning no monthly subscription fees are required [S1, S2]. However, storage is limited; 3K recordings last about 9 hours, while Full HD lasts about 24 hours before being overwritten [S2]. For expanded storage (up to 16TB) and advanced AI facial recognition, the separate HomeBase S380 is required [S2, S3]. It is rated IP55 for dust and water resistance, with an operating temperature range of -20 to 50°C [S2]. While it supports two-way audio, it is important to note that simultaneous bidirectional conversation is not supported [S2]. The accompanying app is available in Japanese [S2].
