MaxColor Vision™ for clear night vision in color

The EufyCam S3 Pro comes with MaxColor Vision™ technology. Unlike many other security cameras that can only deliver black and white images at night, the EufyCam S3 Pro offers color images even during the night. This is made possible by a 1/1.8-inch CMOS sensor, a photosensitive F1.0 aperture and an AI-controlled image signal processor (ISP), which together deliver crisp, detailed images regardless of lighting conditions.

Apple Home Secure Video

EufyCam S3 Pro works with Apple HSV which allows you to save your movies in iCloud, perfect for those who are already paying for space. It is also, according to Apple, one of the most secure ways to save your recordings. The downside of the Apple HSV is that the videos are only saved in 1080p which can feel a bit silly since the camera records in 4K.

Motion-activated spotlight for optimal exposure

The camera is equipped with a motion-sensitive spotlight that adjusts automatically to avoid overexposure. When the spotlight is activated, the brightness can be adjusted manually via the eufy app, giving full control over the lighting.

4K resolution and 8x zoom

With a 4K camera and 8x digital zoom, the EufyCam S3 Pro captures even the smallest details, such as license plates, from a distance of up to 12 meters. The camera's unobtrusive design and ability to operate without an external light source makes it difficult to detect.

Advanced motion detection and solar panel charging

EufyCam S3 Pro is equipped with both radar and PIR sensors to reduce the risk of false alarms caused by natural movements such as animals and weather conditions. In addition, the camera has an integrated solar panel with SolarPlus 2.0 technology, which increases efficiency by 50% compared to previous models. With just one hour of sunlight, the camera's built-in 13,000 mAh battery can be charged to last up to a year.

Two-way audio and locally stored video

The EufyCam S3 Pro is equipped with two microphones and AI-based noise cancellation, ensuring clear communication within eight meters distance. The camera's local storage also means users don't have to pay any monthly fees, and with the Homebase S380, the storage can be upgraded from 16GB to a full 16TB if you buy for a hard drive.

Price and availability

EufyCam S3 Pro will be available in Sweden from October 17th. A package with two cameras and a Homebase has a recommended price starting at 6,799 SEK, and individual cameras can be purchased for 2 999 SEK.

Our test is being done right now and will be launched shortly.
