eufy Security SoloCam S340 - Solar Pan and Tilt

A solar pan tilt camera, and the most capable in eufy's solar range, and the only one that moves. The head pans a full circle and tilts, so one unit watches a whole compound rather than a single approach, and AI tracking turns it to follow whatever it has picked up.

• Two lenses, and why that matters at a gate
• The detachable panel solves the usual problem
• A solar pan tilt camera after dark
• Storage

It carries two lenses. A 3K wide-angle lens takes in the scene, and a 2K telephoto sits beside it, so zooming in gives you real detail rather than a bigger, blurrier crop: the difference between knowing a car pulled up and reading its plate. Together they reach 8× hybrid zoom.

Night footage is in colour, helped by a 100 lumen spotlight that comes on with movement, and a 90 dB siren is there when you want one. On-device AI separates people from vehicles from ordinary motion.

The solar panel is the clever part. It is 2.2 W, adjustable, and it detaches, connecting back to the camera on an extension cable. That means the camera can sit under an eave in shade while the panel sits out in the sun, which is exactly the problem every fixed-panel camera has. Without sun, a charge lasts about three months.

The only one in the solar range that moves

The head of this solar pan tilt camera turns a full circle and tilts 60 degrees, so one unit watches a whole compound rather than a single approach, and AI tracking swings it to follow whatever it has picked up.

Everything else in the solar range is fixed. If your yard has more than one way in, that difference is the reason to pay more.

Two lenses, and why that matters at a gate

A 3K wide-angle takes in the scene and a 2K telephoto sits beside it, both f/1.6, together reaching 8x hybrid zoom. Zooming in gives real detail rather than a bigger, blurrier crop.

In practice that is the difference between knowing a car pulled up and reading its plate.

The detachable panel solves the usual problem

The 2.2 W panel is adjustable and it detaches, connecting back on an extension cable. So the camera can sit under an eave in shade while the panel sits out in the sun.

Every fixed-panel camera has this problem: the best place to watch from is rarely the sunniest place on the wall. This is the one that does not force you to choose. Without sun, a charge lasts about three months, and it refills in around eight hours at 5V 2A.

A solar pan tilt camera after dark

Footage is in colour, helped by a 100 lumen spotlight that comes on with movement, and there is a 90 dB siren. On-device AI separates people from vehicles from ordinary motion, so a car turning in the road does not read the same as a person at the gate.

Storage

8 GB inside the camera, no card slot, no subscription. A HomeBase 3 is optional if you already have one and want face recognition.

The top of the solar range

If a fixed lens covers your approach, the S220 or S40 will do it for less. If you need one camera to watch several directions and read detail at distance, this is the one that does it. eufy list this as the T8170 at eufy.com.
