Okay wow. I have 7 other eufy cameras, and they are all great. However, this is my first set of 4k cameras, WOW. Major upgrade for my system, and they really shine over the others I have.
The quality is unmatched by my other cameras for sure, as I have other cameras that are also not eufy.
The fact that I don't need to pay for service is the reason I like using this brand, you can monitor and record at home with no fees. I use internal storage, even add an external hard drive with this system unlike my other cameras. My other cameras use an SD card, or have built in storage with is great. I plan on adding a hard drive, but it comes with 16GB of internal storage.
The home base 3 is nice, feels strong. Installation is super easy too. You will need a smartphone or some kind smart device to set it up initially, but after that it's smooth sailing.
When viewing footage from the app, it connects fast even over 5G (which I recommend you at least have when you're away from home). However, over WiFi it's very fast and smooth.
The cameras themselves are smaller this time around, and look better too. The fact that they are solar, means I can put them really high one time. Never having to get back on the latter again, I love that.
In the end, you'll enjoy the footage, and options for protection these offers.

I've been using the **eufyCam 3 with 5 outdoor 4K cameras and HomeBase 3** for a few weeks now, and I must say—it's one of the most impressive home security systems I’ve come across.
Pros:
Crystal Clear 4K Quality: The video resolution is outstanding. You can easily identify faces, license plates, and other fine details even from a distance.
Solar Powered Convenience:The built-in solar panels are a game-changer. I haven’t had to recharge the batteries manually since installation, even with moderate sunlight.
AI + Local Storage:HomeBase 3’s built-in AI does a solid job of person detection and filtering out false alerts. Plus, I love that everything is stored locally—no monthly subscription needed!
Easy Setup: Installation was straightforward. The app walks you through the process, and the wireless design made it simple to mount cameras anywhere.
Smart Integration: Works seamlessly with Alexa and Google Assistant, and the app offers a smooth user experience.
Cons:
Initial Battery Charge Required: Even though they’re solar-powered, they need a full charge before installation. Plan ahead.
Wi-Fi Signal Sensitivity: Placement is key. Make sure your Wi-Fi or HomeBase signal is strong enough to reach all camera spots.
If you're looking for a premium, no-subscription-required security solution with 4K clarity and solar convenience, the eufyCam 3 is an excellent investment. It's reliable, intelligent, and offers peace of mind without the hidden costs.

I’ll start off by saying I’m a big fan of Eufy’s security products. This product is an incredible improvement on an already solid surveillance system. I’ve owned their Floodlight, doorbell camera, and previous wireless cameras over the past few years and I’ve never had a reasonable complaint about their products.
Some of the major things I’m really excited about with this product is the solar charging, additional hard drive option, and of course the 4k recordings. Their older camera’s would work for months without needing a charge, and when it did, it was easy to remove the camera, plug it in for half a day or so, and it would be good for a couple more months, depending on your settings of course. I was tempted to get the solar panel chargers for them, but decided it wasn’t really worth it considering how rare I had to charge them. Well now I never have to do it or fumble with any extra devices and mounting, its all built into the camera…awesome! I mounted one camera outdoors and have one currently indoors to compare how well the charging is. Of course its fall time and it’s been a little more gloomy and rainy outdoors then it normally is here, but after a week and a half of doing my initial charge on the cameras and testing, my indoor camera is at 88% (only exposed to some house light) and the outdoor camera is at 95%. So the solar panels def make a difference. When its sunny, it even shows the camera as charging. These numbers are based off the “Optimal Battery Life” profile.
Another great thing about Eufy is the storage that is included with their cameras, no need to buy or lease storage from them, they give you SD cards and you can upgrade them to larger capacity if you like. Well 4k takes up much more storage than standard HD video. I REALLY like the option to just pop in 2.5” hard drive into the Homebase. I have yet to do that, but am waiting for black Friday prices for hard drives to get one. I am surprised that it doesn’t accept an NVMe M2 drive as they are much smaller and faster, but either way it’s a great option to have.
It goes without saying, but picture quality is great. The colors and details are great (see attached image), so I’m keeping my 4k cameras in the front of the house and my older wireless cameras in the back of the house. These cameras also include an LED light (Spotlight), microphone, speaker, and an alarm that triggers sound and lights. You can choose to have the traditional night vision or use the spotlight to light up an area, but that would drain the battery much quicker.
One of the best things about this Homebase is the AI that’s built-in. Now Eufy has their Homebase powered with technology that can detect human faces and you can assign them names. You can manually add faces through the app and it will let you know who it spots in the cameras. With the hardware there, the product will only get better with software updates. Currently, unique cars and pet detection is in works as well. I feel like a lot of it is still in progress and but I’m impressed with what they have done so far. I look forward to being able to setup alerts based on certain recognized and unrecognized faces.
Now on the flip side, I can’t say there is much about it that I don’t like. The cameras aren’t that heavy which is a bit of a surprise with all the technology its packing including batteries, but the problem with this is the mounting. I mounted my outdoor camera on the soffit, which is a pretty standard height, but mounting the camera doesn’t give me a great angle. I was limited to how high I could raise the camera so it wasn’t pointing at the ground. I was able to get it to the highest position which I was happy with, and I tightened very tight by hand to lock it in place, but the weight of the camera and gravity caused the camera to droop down and its been angled lower towards the ground. I will need to place this on a higher part of the house to hopefully keep the mount decent. You can see in the pictures I added where it started and where it ended up. Picture attached of the highest angle the camera can reach.
Also, the option where you can talk to the camera speaker through your phone is a bit sketchy. I don’t plan on using that option that much, but sometimes it works good and others its like it missed some words or doesn’t pick up the voice from your phone that great. Like it’ll miss the first word or so you say but then start working. The alarm function I’m trying to figure out as well, I can turn it on but turning if off doesn’t seem to be an option, it seems like it times out after 30 seconds to 1 minute. Hoping some software updates can fix all this up.
Overall, I really think Eufy is one of the best camera systems that doesn’t require a subscription. It provides alerts and convenience all within an app and you can manage everything from your phone. Others are “free” but they push premium packages on you or don’t let you record to the cloud. I’ve only had this product a couple of weeks, but Eufy has kept my home monitored and safe for years. I haven’t quite got my house setup for Google or Alexa, but I do look forward to being able to use the Eufy cameras with voice assistants. Definitely recommend this product and Eufy in general to my friends and family.

AI is hit amd miss. If U’re getting it for the ai function, U’ll be disappointed that its not able to recognize people most of the time. If it did it would record the face or allow you to be able to edit if face was detected wrong. The 4K x8 image is not truely 4k, 8x zoom os just cropped version of the image wheter 1080p or 4k. In terms of security concerns, wify isnt as private as they claim. Unless something bette comes out, ill stick with eufy for now.

Impressive Quality and Truly Wireless Security – A Smart Investment!
I’ve been using the eufyCam 3 Wireless 4K with Solar Panel for a few weeks now, and honestly, it has exceeded all my expectations. Right out of the box, you can tell this is a premium-quality product.
Crystal-clear 4K Video Quality.
The image is incredibly sharp, even at night. You can zoom in on important details without the picture getting blurry, which is essential for real security. The built-in AI facial recognition is a great feature – it helps differentiate between familiar faces and strangers, cutting down on false alerts.
Solar-powered for True Autonomy.
The built-in solar panel is a total game-changer. I installed it in a spot with good sunlight and I’ve never had to charge it manually since. It gives you peace of mind and zero maintenance.
No Monthly Fees.
One of the best things about eufy is that there are no required subscription fees for cloud storage. Everything is saved locally on the HomeBase 3, and you always have secure access to your recordings.
User-friendly and Powerful App.
The eufy app is intuitive and easy to use. You can view live footage, check recordings, receive notifications, and adjust settings effortlessly. It’s also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant.
Easy Setup and Sleek Design.
Setup was super simple. No drilling or complicated wiring needed. Plus, the camera has a clean, modern look that blends nicely with any home exterior.

I normally don't review products, but this one is the exception. I have been looking for a superb camera home security system for a while now as people have been roaming around our house (we have seen it on our ring door bell cam) and I wanted to document these trespassers. Not only have they deterred the people from coming around any more, they are excellent for keeping an eye around your house. One of my cameras is about 75 feet from the base unit and it works great (full signal). Easy set-up and easy to ward off trespassers with the spot light and/or your voice with the built in speaker. They record in 4k, you can change the settings, but I would not. Just make sure they are getting around 2 hours of sunlight a day and are fully charged before installing them. I have had them only for about a week and a half and no battery issues (knock on wood) yet! Still trying o figure out how to use this Apple home base to add it there but that is a whole another story all together. 5/5 Best camera home security out there, and you can add more cameras if you like. Plus NO WIRES, it is COMPLETELY wireless, except for the home base (obviously).

The Eufy Security app is another highlight of the Eufy 3 Camera system. The app is well-designed and easy to navigate, allowing me to quickly access live footage, review past recordings, and customize settings with just a few taps. The app also sends instant notifications to my phone whenever motion is detected, keeping me informed of any activity around my home, even when I'm away.
One of the aspects that sets the Eufy 3 Camera apart from other security cameras is its robust battery life. The camera's long-lasting battery ensures continuous operation without the need for frequent recharging, making it ideal for areas where access to power outlets may be limited.

It offers advanced features such as AI-powered human detection, which reduces false alerts by accurately distinguishing between humans and other moving objects.

I love that these camera's run off solar power. It's now two months later and still runs perfect.
I have 1 mounted to brick infront of my garage and another mounted to my sided with a siding clip
the siding one bounces some with high wind weather but holds fine
charging has been no issue with the sun
recording is also great and the picture is good
I upgraded the space with a samsung 2TB off amazon
my only negatives is the motion detector picks up my tree blowing and my grill cover blowing, since these objects are kind of in the middle you cannot geofence around them, which sucks
I also wish when mounting them (you have to spin them till they lock) they had a better system so they would also face level, its hard getting it "exactly" where you want it to point due to this
because you are also fighting the mount/screws and you dont want it to "slip" on the back plate while tighten the camera

The eufyCam 3 is an impressive security camera that checks off a lot of boxes for anyone looking for reliable, feature-rich home security. The battery life is fantastic, and the solar panels work exceptionally well to keep it charged without any hassle. The picture quality is superb—sharp, clear 4K resolution that makes identifying details effortless.
One of the biggest highlights is that there’s no monthly or annual fee, which is a huge plus compared to other systems that rely on subscription services.
The only drawback I’ve noticed is the motion detection range. The camera struggles to pick up people beyond roughly 20 feet, even when they are within the active zone. If the range could be extended, this would be a nearly perfect system.
Overall, it’s a great investment for high-quality, subscription-free security, but the detection range might be a limitation for some users.

Summary:
One of the better, not-so-well known security systems on the market. The built-in solar for the cameras, makes you wonder way didn’t more companies offer this product and the ability to put a hard drive directly into the hub for almost unlimited recorder makes this one of the ultimate security systems.
In the box:
Smart hub
2x solar wireless battery powered cameras with built-in solar
Cables
Mounting hardware
Setup:
Eufy makes great strides in making setup easy and intuitive. The in app direction and vpice prompts makes rhe setup a breeze.
User Interface:
The UI is very intuitive, menus where you expect it to be and very easy to access and find certain feature. Couldn't be better.
Recording:
The smart hub allows for any size (capacity) SSD drive ro be installed. I put inna 2tb drive for the max amout of recording. I havent gotten to see exactly how many days since 2tb is a very large capacity capacity for an SSD but its well over a weeks worh of footage (only when motion detection is trigger.
Conclusion:
The Eufycam 3 is one of the best security systems availability that doesnt tie you in to spending extra monthly subscriptions. The smart hub allows for local recording to offer the option of saving money instead of locking you into a subscription plan. The built-in solar panels is a great features. Makes you wonder why didn't someone do this before. Would highly recommend this for anyone.

The Eufy security cameras have been one of the best investments I’ve made for my home. The video resolution is outstanding, even in low light, and the wide-angle coverage exceeded my expectations. Setup was incredibly easy—no complex tools or messy wiring needed.
What I appreciate most is that there’s no subscription required to access recordings, and the local storage gives me full control over my footage. The app is user-friendly, fast, and alerts me immediately when motion is detected. I also love the two-way audio feature—perfect for speaking to delivery drivers or unexpected guests.
The design is sleek and blends well with any space. I feel protected, connected, and in control at all times. If you’re looking for top-notch quality, smart features, and no hidden costs, Eufy is absolutely the way to go.

I didnt like paying for the Arlo subscription every month so i replaced the whole system with Eufy. Both solar powered. I should have kept arlo. The main issue i had was with recording times , with arlo it can be set to continue recording when there is still activity . With Eufy it can only record 120 seconds max and will stop recording when activety ends - and not restart with new activity of the same subject(weird default option) . This makes a big difference in practice, We had a theft from our car during our 5 years owning arlo. We were able to get the 4 minutes recording of the thief checking car doors and go through one car searching, then the theft . Activity didnt end so it kept recording. With Eufy we have a theft from the front porch and the video cut off after recording time and missed the activity of the actual theft. So missed it completely . Also W eufy you have to balance between solar generated power with how much surveillance wanted . With my house in sunny arizona , several of the devices needed at least 4 hours of direct sunlight and i hade to purchase a seperate solar panal to keep up with the power required , and still didnt have the survellance wanted

Amazing quality, sound, connectivity, and the battery lasts forever (we have one in our garage that doesn't get any solar charge.) We cannot be happier with these over Blink we previously used. The quality of the videos and the sheer amount of quality of life features this has (recognition, alarms, different modes for being away, etc.) blow them out of the water without question.
