EufyCam S3 Pro two-cam kit with HomeBase 3 It’s now down to $399.98 from $549.99 price tracker Show that this is the lowest it has ever been. It’s still a premium setup, but this downside makes it easier to consider if you were already planning to invest in a long-term system. You get two 4K outdoor cameras and a HomeBase 3 hub, which handles local storage and system control. This means there are no required monthly fees, as your footage remains locally on the device rather than being sent to the cloud.
Low-light performance is where the S3 Pro differentiates itself from most cameras in this range. Eufy’s MaxColor Vision processes footage in real-time, using AI with a wide f/1.0 aperture and a larger sensor to capture more detail. In practice, this means that night footage looks closer to daytime than the usual grainy black and white clips. It also has built-in spotlights to help when the scene is too dark, though they aren’t always needed, it notes. ZDNET review.
During the day, the camera records in 4K, which helps when you want to zoom in on faces or license plates. Motion detection is another strong point. The system can tell the difference between people, pets, and vehicles, and it does a good job of limiting false alerts. It can also recognize familiar faces through Homebase 3, so notifications can identify who was viewed rather than just flagging motion. That said, you may still need to fine-tune the detection zone, especially if the camera has a clear view of a busy road.
What do you think so far?
Sticking with the system mostly sucks. Everyone camera It has a built-in solar panel and a 13,000mAh battery, and Eufy says an hour of sunlight per day can keep it running year-round. This eliminates the need for regular charging in most setups. You also get two-way audio, weather resistance, and a siren through the hub if you want a more active deterrent. On the downside, while the cameras record in 4K, if you use them (or plan to) within the Apple ecosystem, the resolution drops to 1080p and requires an iCloud subscription, which reduces the no-fee appeal.
