this is eufy Security's new solar cam s340 so it's a security camera that has a few things that are
a lot different to other models that you find on the market firstly it's got a dual camera setup
and this is really good for getting in close to things because we've got a three time zoom that
can go up to eight times hybrid and then a wide camera too to get everything in the shot now it's
got a full 360° of coverage because of its pan and tilt so there are absolutely no blind spots
the footage that is recorded that 3K footage is saved locally so it's got 8 GB of storage
on board and it basically will be powered pretty much forever as long as you mount it
somewhere where the solar panel does get 2 hours of sunshine at least and then it will go for the
whole day so this panel can be mounted onto the top of the unit like I have it here as you can
see but there's flexibility with this as there is a extension type-c cable that is 10t long or 3 m
allowing you to have a lot of flexibility where you install it so you can install the camera in
a certain position and then up to that 10 ft away have your solar panel this is what you'll find in
the Box we've got of course Al solo cam s340 the mount for it two sets of screws there there's also
a positioning sticker for mounting it and a quick start guide this is for the solar panels it's a
solar panel Mount and a type c to type a cable and this cable here is the extension type c so that
is 10 ft or 3 m finally our solar panel which is removable and now you see the plug that this does
have in use is a type-c plug and there is our mounting point the solar cam s340 does have a
nice small compact design to it when I saw it and pulled it out of the box first I thought well this
is actually quite a bit smaller than I thought it was going to be considering the fact that they've
got the two cameras in here and all that's on offer so up here at the front status LED this
is a speaker there is a built-in microphone so we can have two-way conversations and you can
capture audio too as well on the back here this is our sync button to sync it up first with the
application this is where it Clips on to the Mount and at the top here there is the mounting point
there for the two holes perfectly line up with this Mount here so you can just screw that onto
the top and have the solar panel there otherwise you can use that cable that I just showed you
before and mount that solar panel whever you want which is really good now because it does have the
solar panel with it as long as it gets 2 hours of Sun sun light a day it's basically just going to
be powered forever there which is great and that is with their what they call their solar plus now
if you're not going to use the solar panel or it doesn't get the 2 hours of Sun a day well it will
still go for up to 4 months on a single charge which is great battery life to out of it so this
is where it will spin right around we've got that full 360° of coverage it can track people subjects
AI detection with that even detect vehicles to as well and it's got the local storage within
this which is 8 GB so you're going to have no charges with that either it's free to use it
and I'll show you the application later on with it so the camera will angle up and down here so
that's how it can pretty much get everything and it can because it's full coverage there 360° we'
got our passive infrared sensor and this is a 100 lumens bright here this powerful it's four
little LEDs within that that I can see and then on cameras now they are using a very bright and
large f1.6 aperture which you don't normally get with security cameras really good to see that so
this is our two times Optical camera that can go up to 8 times hybrid Zoom that is uh just the 2K
but this one is the 3K resolution as well which is our wide angled lens so 135° field of view
with that same bright f1.6 apertures really good to see that so what I'm going to do now is get
this set up and I'll show you how I'm going to be mounting it and I'll put that solar panel that's
going to go on the top there and like always I've got my assistant here Vera she is supervising my
installation of the camera and to Mak sure I'm doing everything correctly aren't you Vera all
right so the ideal location to Mount Your solo cam s 340 would be somewhere where you going to
have a bit of sunlight and ideally the more hours the better of course but it only needs two to be
able to pretty much just power itself forever so my mounting point is here this is the post that
I'm going to put it on that I where I test out my cameras so from there I get a very good view
of down this side of the house where no other yui security cameras are at the moment and then down
this side too there so for anyone coming in and walking down the side of the house that's going
to be a good position for it and it will get a lot of sunlight during the day two mounting the solar
panel on the top that was not difficult at all so there's those mounting points that I showed
you you remove the internals of the mount and you just simply screw it on and that is what it
looks like you can see now set up with it on the top top now you can use the template to mount it
that way you can space out those holes perfectly for the camera mount and I already have some holes
pre-drilled here these are ones that I've been using for testing out other cameras and it just
happens to line up pretty much perfectly there so I am fine with that so what I'm going to do
now is mount it and then we'll get on to what the test footage looks like after this so mounting it
was very very easy here just to Simply slot it on it clips into place now the solar panel I don't
have it in the correct position I really need to have this more or less just lying flat or actually
angled towards the left of where the video is but I've just got it like this so you can see
what it looks like on the top here so just really for demonstration purposes but it is looking very
good the solo cam s340 you're listening to now the built-in microphone that it does have and
because of the speaker I showed you before you can have two-way conversations and I'll give you
a sample that speak shortly just after this you can see it's tracking me just fine so we have
the AI tracking so it'll track humans you can also get it to track cars and even pets but that one's
currently in beta so we have the wide angle and then the three times zoom and you can see both now
so you've got both of those images with the zoom footage and then the ultra wide footage and really
no problems at all tracking me as I move about here good image quality and I think the microphone
quality too is quite good considering just how far away from the camera I am at the moment this here
is what our nighttime footage does look like you can see this is the black and white mode at the
moment but there is a color KN mode I'll show you just after this clip so it's clear enough at night
that you can see that I have here a electric bike and imagine this is someone stealing it hopefully
not but you get that all recorded on camera and of course it's still tracking me just F the color
night vision now is using the 100 lumens LED flashlight to light me up here and it's pitch
black here otherwise now you got either the black and white which I just showed you a sample of at
the start of that last clip it didn't kick in until I was about here halfway and right now
I think this quality is still very good and the light it's bright enough to light me up that I am
clear but I do prefer the black and white for our nighttime footage I just think it gets a little
more in terms of detail but if you want color then you have this option through the application which
I'll show you this is our application called UI security so you can get it with Android which
I'm using now and then iOS with your Apple phones and your tablets so here at first glance you get
all of the cameras the last captured event there you'll see a shot of that now the notifications
will be sent through to you so you can also select to have a thumbnail if you want and you get those
notifications you can see right here just recently I had a career delivery so the driver arrived and
I wasn't home at the time so he ended up throwing the package over the so some of that is recorded
there the events of all of the cameras are listed here and you can just tap in this and then you can
stream over that so this is me recording some of my test footage so you can go into that you can
download it right here and you see it's the dual camera at the moment so we have the wide angle and
then the the wide angle at the top and then the three times Zoom at the bottom now any of these
devices here that I do have so let's go to the solo cam s340 this is now the live preview you
can see how quick that was it just simply tapping there it just loads up straight away I've got
plenty of signal strength which is definitely helping so when you tap here you can zoom in
but it's better to be in landscape for that so I go over to landscape and it's going to just
reload that for a a second so here I can control the camera so can move it about okay this is my
preview of just the ultra wide or the wide angle sorry and then the three times it can go in there
and you're able to zoom in even further there too which is great so you can turn on the mic
if there's someone there maybe you're of course waiting for a delivery you got a delivery driver
at your door then you can talk to them with the mic the speaker built in you have the alarm that
you can turn on if you want turn on the flashlight and just straight away start recording a clip if
you wanted to do that you just simply need to tap there so getting out of that going back to
where all of our devices are I'll just show you some of the settings here there are a few and I
don't want to go into too much detail here because otherwise it's just going to get a little long so
you got your pan tilt calibration power management so you're able to select your power source now I
have the solar panel but you can put it onto the battery as mentioned they'll be up to 4 months but
with a solar panel especially where I have it placed now I mean it's not going to run out of
power it's just going to be powered pretty much to stay on forever like the other camera other solar
cam solo Cam that I do have never had to take it down and charge it because of the panel always
just topping it up now if you go to the dashboard you can see the charge levels there and I normally
gain a couple of percent every day normally about 3 or 4% and it only uses normally about
2% or 1% during the day so it's fine it's never really going to get low on the battery so you
can see your detection stats right there at the top two under power management motion detection
so as I mentioned before when we were looking at the footage and just talking all about that
that you've got human vehicles as well and other motions if you wanted to set that up you can now
I recommend against this because you're going to get a lot of uh false triggers for that maybe just
leaves blowing around and bits and pieces which you don't really want you can set the activity
zone so if you did have a tree that's blowing around all the time or you could set it that
that wouldn't actually be included it wouldn't be a trigger point that area which is good you have
your uh detection sensitivity AI tracking you can test it out tips for installation when you
first set it up so you see all of that and there's quite a bit in there those preset positions this
is also very handy because you don't want to have it always looking in an area where there's not
going to be a lot of people so so I have my first one set to where the entrance is where people come
through the gate and then the front of the house and that's best cuz I don't want it pointing just
straight ahead because it would be looking at the pool where there really isn't anyone and
I have another preset position here that I can go over to and you can see it's just moved that
camera now uh which is very good the way it's done that and the way you can set up those positions it
makes sense to have it set to we going to have a lot more traffic so audio settings that's pretty
self-explanatory video so the streaming quality I have set to 3K and even though it's 5 2.4
sorry GHz bandwidths using for Wi-Fi I've had no problems with it at all because my router's pretty
powerful and a good one and so both of those are set there the streaming quality to 3K night vision
so you have the two options here for black and white Vision or the color night vision that I
showed you with those samples and lastly this is a very handy one to have this option is the
security so this can be automatic to as well now when you go out You' set this to away so when it
triggers and sees anyone what it will do then is record that clip of course send your notification
but also turn the alarm on now with automation you can set up basically like Geo fencing and this is
really good means if you leave your house it will automatically put whatever camera you want to in
an away mode so again the alarm will come on and it will record those clips so it's got a lot of
features in here very good application here from yui security now speak sample of the solo cam s340
so the speaker is currently set to the default 80% volume and as you can hear from this sample
that it is loud it is clear so if anyone is close enough to the camera you'll be able to communicate
with them and they will be able to hear you just fine and here's a preview now of what the built-in
alarm sounds like it is very loud now I've turned this down quite a bit just to protect people's
ears any headphone users out there I just notched it down quite a bit because it was so loud but
this is just to give you an idea of what it does sound like if you set it to the alarmed
mode and someone enters in the area word it is it detects that this is what it's going to sound like
now as you can hear from that it was very loud and really quite annoying too recapping now so
we have the 360° of coverage which is really good of course it's got the passive infrared
that it can track people and it's Advanced AI human tracking and also cars so that's another
good feature too because imagine if someone pulls in your driveway and they're having a
look around your house or something but they don't get out of their car what it's going to
be able to record that too which is very handy not all security cameras have that feature the
footage that is recorded in 3K that's stored locally and I love the fact that it's a dual
camera set up to as well so you have your wide angled and then your zoom camera too
and you can go up to eight times hyrid Zoom to zoom in and see all of those details and very
bright lenses too with a 1.6 an f1.6 aperture is great now this was very easy to mount and set up
they even include that little template so you can install it screw that into place and get yourself
set up rather quickly and you got the option the flexibility to have the solar panel either
mounted onto the top with the same Mount the top of the camera itself or to have it set up 10 ft
or 3 m away from the solo cam s340 so it's got a lot on offer here and don't forget that it does
have the 100 lens camera there's the built-in speaker the microphone so you can have two-way
conversations and there's a lot in the application they didn't all go through but there's plenty of
options in there the alerts the footage you get all very handy so there we go that is my
first impressions and Hands-On here with the yui security solo cam s340 thanks a lot for watching
