Arlo Essential Outdoor Camera
Eufy EufyCam S3 Pro
The EufyCam S3 Pro is a robust 4K resolution camera that builds on Eufys' already successful range of products. The camera comes with Home Base 3, which is equipped with BionicMind AI, a feature that can recognize people's with facial recognition and learn physique. With up to 16GB of local storage, you also don't have to worry about cloud services, you can even upgrade up to 16TB of storage with an extra hard drive.
The camera's AI-powered night vision offers multiple modes and adapts to lighting conditions, meaning the image remains clear even in the dark. Thanks to both PIR and radar technology, the risk of false alarms is minimized, something that can otherwise be annoying for users who live in areas with a lot of traffic. Along with support for Apple Home Secure Video, which allows it to be easily integrated into smart home ecosystems, S3 Pro feels like a thoughtful solution for those who want full control and high security.
Another interesting feature is Cross Camera Tracking. For those who use multiple cameras, this means that the EufyCam S3 Pro can hand over the surveillance to the next camera if a movement moves out of view. This creates a seamless and accurate surveillance without interruption, something that can otherwise be a weakness with individual CCTV cameras. The videos are then put together into one and the same.
The drive with solar energy is another bonus. With Solar Plus 2.0 and the additional solar panel that you can use when needed, you can expect the camera to keep running without much need for recharging, making it suitable for more remote or hard-to-reach places where it is difficult to draw electricity. The adaptive spotlight complements the package and increases visibility when needed, while helping to deter unwanted visitors.
EufyCam S3 Pro also offers up-to-date two-way communication, which means you can speak directly to visitors or vendors through the camera — seamlessly for everything from delivering instructions to scaring off intruders. The sound should be much better and be able to isolate other noise.
In summary, the EufyCam S3 Pro is a strong addition to Eufys' product range, especially for those who want a high-quality and self-sufficient camera without running costs. It combines security, AI-powered features and a great user experience that can be easily integrated into various smart homes.
