Flaw number 1 - (Detects vehicles) bypass this issue by simply using the zoning option to just record the area you want, ie, your garden.. I had the same issue, and just highlighted my property. Not the road!.. Flaw number 2 - Just reduce sensitivity of the camera, has a range setting from something like 1 to 9! Flaw number 3 - If you want 24hr recording, get a wired camera from the EUFY range instead. The solar panel range is excellent, but that power is limited! Hence time restrictions! Good luck :)
I do know about Zones but the corner where I place my camera needs to capture both the left side which covers my fence gate and the right side where my driveway is, which unfortunately requires me to record part of the street as well. I also want it not to skip any people that may wonder around my property, even if near the road. I just wish they had a way to record vehicles but just not get notified about them. I do wish to have the recordings. Flaw number 2, I did reduce the sensitivity to help out but then you may miss some events. Flaw number 3, I do not wish to record 24 hours. I do want it to record the entire event of someone walking around my property even if it lasts 1 minute 20 seconds let's say, or even for a minute but that doesn't happen. It'll just end the video even if the person is still there and then resume after like 5 seconds of a pause, that doesn't make any sense to me.
I just installed one of these today and am surprised at how bad the bracket is. First of all it is a weak bracket for such a heavy device that is expected to weather all seasons. The main thing that I am concerned with though is how easy it is to detach the camera from the bracket. Any chancer who can get to the camera can steal the device and it is no harder than unplugging a phone from a charging cable. I am going to make a metal collar to fit around the bracket release buttons with the hope that it might put somebody off stealling it even though they could still just snap it off. My camera is about 10 feet high so it's just out of reach but I do thing Eufy should have made this with a strong metal.bracket. Apart from this and the issues mentioned in this video I think the.device is pretty good.
In Norway you are not alowed to let your camera to record outside your own private property, so if your camera is recording out on a road, you have to adjust it away from that road, or away from neighbours' properties
@@UltratecJS Then you can describe the area for detection, so it does not react to motions in areas you dont want. At least you can do so with the E340...
@@TerjeNormann The way my property is setup I need to be able to capture the left corner of my gate and the driveway area which ultimately ends up catching the street too.
Great Camera's I have 2 of them. One on solar one on mains. In the App sometimes it's not easy to find what you are looking for lot's of menu's. We have short daylight in the winter. Hopefully one solar panel is enough to power the camera.
@@Bus2000 Overall I am loving my camera, it's just mostly software that seems to be handicapped. Any issues with the short daylight? Just going to experience winter with this camera for the first time.
@@UltratecJS For now the camera keeps working at about 65% charge. But the shortest day is in December. We have to see if it keeps working. Have a second panel from the camera powered by mains. Maybe I can hookup 2 panels to the camera
I'm considering installing a security camera. A criticism that I have of Eufy is the lack of documentation. Installing it is rather simple but I can't find anything about the app settings and how to control the camera.

A big reason is because updates happen all the time. The app does give you a walkthrough, but any documentation will literally become outdated in a matter of months or after a major update.
A flaw with a unit I have. I'll meet it randomly tilted almost full down then when I try to select default position or manually tilt it up, it says tilt limit reached. It will pan left and right but won't tilt up just stays stuck down. I was about to fling it in the trash but I found a work around aka a little trick by pressing the down arrow in the app to tilt full down until it says limit reached then I hit the up arrow and it magically tilts up and operates as normal once you reach the tilt up limit. I also removed all preset positions except the default one since the tilt down issue seems to happen after the cam auto moves from a preset position back to the default position.
Another weird issue with this camera a second unit I have the battery stays between 85%-98% all year round but I noticed whenever my wifi goes out for a fews days due to power outages or Internet provider issues, the darn cam battery drains rapidly. Yes it makes zero sense because it's a wire free solar powered camera but it happens. It's like because camera can't talk to the internet it gets sad and die. When I look at the solar dashboard it shows a big drop in power the days the wifi was out and soon as the wifi comes back up the camera starts charging again. Yes it makes no sense lol.
@@UltratecJS you could setup a schedule and have it record but don't send notifications. it would be nice if we could enable/disable notifications per type of motions individually though (humans, vehicles, etc)
Hey me again i just installed the S340 camera, but i getting the Motion Alarm Alert siren every time it detect someone, im looking in the App to see how to turn it off but i don't see anything, trying to contact eufy guessing they're closed you have any suggestions.

Thats a wifi issue with the freezing
@@johnhsconiers3308 I don't agree with this since the camera has an SD card where it saves to. The video is still chopped in the file that it saves.
