I sent back the $550 S3 Pro. I kept the S340.
Before you spend $550 plus on an S3 Pro bundle, consider the camera I actually kept.
Not sponsored. I bought this with my own money. When I filmed it, the S340 was $130 on sale against about $200 list. The S3 Pro kit I was looking at was $550 plus.
This is the test I filmed on Keli’i Discovers: Why I DITCHED the $550 Eufy S3 Pro for This CHEAPER Alternative.
Why I went S340: two lenses, a bigger sensor than my S220, 360° rotation, four presets, a built-in spotlight, color night vision, and an adjustable solar panel so I can actually point it at the sun. It tracks me day and night.
I tried to hide in the bushes. I crawled. It still caught me. It caught the cat too.
The S3 Pro likes to talk about Max color night vision. On my house it was not much better than what I already had. Black and white was clearer and more consistent. Ghosting is a known Eufy night issue. I said that on camera.
The gripe I actually filmed: it says 3K, then drops to 2K when AI tracking or dual-lens is on. I also wanted the second lens to be smart enough to zoom my face as I walked in. It didn’t.
I am not pretending this is a new 2026 unbox. It’s why I sent the expensive kit back. In 2026 the one I’d still put on a blank wall is the S340. The four-cam ranking is here: Eufy Solar Camera Battle 2026. What’s actually on the house is Eufy vs Blink vs Wyze 2026.
If you want the unit I kept, it’s on my Amazon shop. Prices move. I don’t get paid extra to pick the wrong camera.
