This video just made me order a pair of the s3 pro’s. I’ve been having issues with my S330’s motion detection range as it’s only detecting people up to 7 feet, I thought I was the only one having this issue!
@alex_9-160 the radar makes all the difference. The S3 Pro also makes a heat Map in the app where it learns the most active areas and improves detection even further - you won't be disappointed
A bit hesitant to check the price. I might need a fundraiser! The night vision on the Pro is unreal! Does it pan and tilt or is it fixed? Have you had any issues with the solar panel? Very helpful review. I'm very interested in the Pro...off I go to inquire, hahaha 😄
thank for a great review / comparison. I'm currently on NEST and and would love to move to these cams but Eufy's support for viewing on a computer browser is not anywhere close to NEST's version. And I would love the ability to view all cameras at the same time live-streaming just like the NEST cams and a few others. Also, itis now November 7th 2024 and I called EUFY and the 24/7 recording is not yet available. The person said a special power cable will be needed and they are not shipping it yet.
@@Martin-cb4fh eufy may likely release a dedicated screen to view multiple cams in the future (i was told this at Berlin IFA Tech event) Not sure about the dedicated cable thing for S3 Pro though
Thank you for your analysis, I will go for the S3 Pro. I have a S340 that takes care of 3 sides but I needed one more to do the backside of the house and I want a clearer one for the main gate. Also, one for the neighbors front door as they have a S340 covering the yard. Again, thanks for the review.
I have these cameras, the battery drain in the winter with the additional solar panel is unreal. I am using the solar panel but in 3 days I’m already down to 73% with battery optimised settings, small active area but it still drains. Been up the ladders 3 times to take the cameras down to fully charge them. Eufy same wire it but you need to use an official eufy cable which is short and not even available in the UK.
Great review; thank you! I want the camera to work only between 9 pm and 9am. Is this possible? That is when the car thieves are out in my area. I don't want to waste the battery in the day
its a pity I bought the Cam 3 4 pack about 4 months ago. Anyway, i assume if i get an add on S3 Pro I can just add it to my home base and place it where i think I may need the added improvements like the night vision and better detection?
I want to buy it but here's my only thing. Does it record around the clock? Or does it just record when motion is detected? I ask this because this is a major flaw in today's cyber security. Sometimes, to catch someone or something in the act, you need to have them before they step into the frame before the act is committed. With cameras that only record when motion is detected within the frame, it defeats the purpose of a real security camera. You never get everything that you need to present as evidence. And the cameras usually cut off or only record a certain amount. If this records 24/7 all the way through, I will definitely buy it.
@mystroceo The S3 Pro is awaiting a software update from eufy to enable the 24/7 recording feature - as at 3rd December 2024 this,is not yet active. You may want to look at the E330 which is 24/7 and wired for power
I'm in a dilemma where I need 3 cameras - one for the front and two for the rear, the S3 pro's tick all the boxes for the rear of the house but I'm stumped on what to have for the front - has to be smaller than the two reviewed but trying to keep a decent resolution to keep an eye on my car which will be around 8m away...any suggestions?
@@eufysecuritycameraowners4795 Just as you replied I found the 3C pro, seems to be mixed reviews between for it with many people prefering the 2C pro... I shall go and watch your comparison!
Hi, I already have the S330's, do the S3 Pro's use the same mounts and screws? Considering they're bigger units I'm just wondering if I can use the existing ones or if I have to redrill the holes?
These channels never show the usability and the functionality of retrieving past the video and how simple and quick it is usually most of these things are very difficult to go back and look at previous recordings and nobody ever discusses that
Camera's are amazing and better than the s330 in many ways but they do have some issues. First is the night time ghosting. It's horrible with moving objects. If you pause the video on a person, you can't make out who the person is. Looks terrible but live shots are good. Will probably get better with future updates...hopefully. The second issue is the zoom. They claim 8x zoom just like the S330 but Live zoom is only 2x. Yes only 2x. I don't know why but it's probably an update issue but right now with all my firmware up to date, that's what it is. Recorded videos do zoom better but hard to tell if it's 8x since it doesn't say, but it is close. My S330 are still 8x zoom. The third issue is rare but it has a white flashing when camera is triggered by a event. Screen flashes/washes out, 2-3 times and then returns to normal. Eufy's response to this was to turn off "Auto Night Vision". What does that even mean? They couldn't answer that either. Regardless, they are good at returns and trying to help resolve issues.
@fattysgarage1754 I think the ghosting is a big improvement over the s330 cam3 but still needs improvement. Both my s3 Pro's will do x8 Zoom (check for updates) and I've not experienced the white flashing (yet)
Many reasons uses more power the ..The 2.4 GHz band offers a longer range and better wall penetration compared to the 5 GHz band used by WiFi 6. Also if a device has the wifi 6 no doubt thw price would be crazy as well .. just have a wire setup using POE for the best option
I bought one of these and had it running in Edinburgh. The battery was lasting about 2 days which a good number of motion detections. It was connected to the S380 base station which was about 2m away. Got to say very disappointing battery life. I have now bought a USB charging cable to connect camera to base station. I'm in the UK and cannot buy the Eufy USB A to USB C waterproof cable - it's only available in the US and they will not ship to the UK. The video is good quality at night but if you want to zoom in you quickly get to the point where the detail pixilates. Disappointing and my Arlo cameras perform better and last longer charge to charge without solar power.
Both the 15 fps, and snapshot minimum setting of every 3 mins, are woefully inadequate. Why on earth have all this wonderful, high quality tech, but hamstring it so badly? Can anyone recommend a better brand that actually does the job properly?

Do you know how these compare to the eufy 3c and s340? Special thinking on night vision, range of engagement and spotlight.
@@Maraxion night vision and detection is noticeably better on the S3 Pro Versus any other eufyCam
Night vision is not bad but I use my S340s as a perimeter look vs anything else. S3 Pro looks like it beats them all at this point.
What kind of the radar it is, how the range grows like this compared to older cameras.
Great piece of tec it is really
Hope I'm gonna buy
