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.

Arlo Pro 4

Arlo Pro 4 är utformad för enkelhet och kräver ingen hubb eller basstation för att fungera. Det är dock viktigt att notera att om du väljer att inte köpa till en hubb, kommer detta att påverka batteritiden och räckvidden för dina kameror. En hubb ger dig också möjligheten att lagra filer lokalt, antingen på en USB-sticka eller ett SD-kort, beroende på vilken hubbmodell du väljer att använda tillsammans med dina kameror.

Om du väljer att investera i Arlos prenumerationstjänst kommer det dock att begränsa din förmåga att spela in videor lokalt. Det är värt att notera att åtkomsten till dessa lokalt lagrade filer kan vara något komplicerad om du inte är ansluten till samma nätverk som din hubb.

Som med Arlo Essential Spotlight, har även Arlo Pro 4 en inbyggd LED-lampa. Denna funktion möjliggör tydligare och färgstarkare nattlig övervakning. Det är dock viktigt att vara medveten om att användningen av lampan kan påverka batteritiden negativt, så det är klokt att använda den med försiktighet och vid behov. Med Arlo Pro 4 får du enkel och effektiv övervakning utan behovet av en separat hubb, samtidigt som den ger dig flexibilitet när det gäller lagring och nattvision.
