This eufy SoloCam S3 Pan Tilt is a solar powered outdoor camera best suited for wireless monitoring without monthly fees. The pan and tilt view, spotlight for color night video, and Homebase ecosystem fit make it appealing for driveway or porch coverage. Pricing is lower in store than online, with warehouse tags around $99 to $100 versus about $110 online. The main limitation is that it records motion events only, not continuous video, and the included solar panel has drawn durability complaints. It is a solid fit if event based recording is enough.
The camera can record color night video because it includes a spotlight for low-light scenes.
The camera can store enough power to keep running through multiple cloudy days and dark nights.
The camera can work well for wireless outdoor use when motion-event playback and event lists load quickly.
The camera can be a strong one-off option within the eufy ecosystem when continuous recording is not required.
The camera does not support continuous recording and instead relies on event-based recording.
The camera may miss motion when a person is parallel to the camera at about 5-8 feet distance.
The solar panel can be unreliable and may be easily damaged after rain.
The camera can have playback and motion-event issues, including slow event lists and choppy or failing playback.

1. I have since heard that Reolink is better.
2. The customer support team SEEMS VERY helpful, but in the end does nothing for you.
3. Pulling up the list of motion detection events is a pain in the A55 -- slow and sometimes doesn't work
4. Trying to play a video event doesn't work about 10 to 20% of the time. And often the playback is choppy/stutters.
5. It is implied that the last two issues, might be resolved by buying their ~$300 storage / hub.
6. Infrared mode can NOT be used, unless you like getting ~4 recorded motion events per minute of tiny, IR illuminated particles of dust flying by.
PS, iirc, after 5 straight days of very cloudy rainy weather, It dropped to 64% battery. Would probably have been much lower, but I switched from optimal surveillance mode, into optimal battery life mode ~2 days in. And then it only took a day or two to charge back up to 100%
PPS, My street has lights, and along with the low light capable camera, takes pretty decent video without needing to turn on the spot light.

What hand canners you suggest that meet continuous recording and other desirable features?

Summary:
Cameras offline. This is happened so often for no reason. I could not find out why.
Missing recording in 24/7 mode. I can see the cam recorded it because the timeline is blue where is no motions and yellow for the motions. But when I click on a certain time it skips a couple minutes. This happened randomly through the day.
Camera did not load up and gave me an error message or the loading time was very slow. It was quicker to open up the door to check who is it rather waiting for the camera.
Indoor pan and tilt cams randomly turned to a different position.
Image quality was questionable. Many time it was blurry, washed out, flat.
AI is just bad. The human, pet or vehicle detection often confused.
And top it all up, the customer service is just terrible, useless bunch of.....

This is the same as the S340, which Amazon has for $150 or less right now.
