These are the 2nd set of eufy cameras we purchased! --- Super Affordable! --- BEST purchase ever! --- The sense of security we have is priceless. Fortunately, we rarely ever need to review our camera footage, but the feeling of knowing our homes are under continual surveillance gives us peace of mind and security! *Esp. when my spouse is away and/or has to go out-of-town and when our rental home is vacant, and nobody is there to monitor it. (Being able to monitor the yard service worker and any other person/people who come onto the property is very helpful. You can see exactly how much time they actually work and anything else.) -The 1st set is installed on our house. -This S340 set is on our rental house. Currently, our rental is vacant. - It is awesome that we can monitor all cameras at multiple locations on one screen. *When tenants are there, we let them set the app to their ID/Password, so only they can see & monitor them. We have never needed to subscribe or pay any additional money. Our videos last a long time! (I believe customers can subscribe if they have a ton of footage and/or want videos saved indefinitely, etc... Our videos stay on our app for a long time! You can select to 'save' any videos that you don't want to be overwritten. You also can manually erase any/all videos, but it is not necessary. At some point, I believe any unsaved videos will be automatically overwritten. I can't remember how much memory these have. I think you can add an SD card, not positive. I am a 65yr old woman; I had no problem installing the cameras or the app and set-up process. We opted to buy the solar panels. I strongly urge anyone else to buy them also. We have never had to charge our cameras since I installed them over a year ago. We have never experienced a single issue with the cameras or solar panels. * I ordered a gutter clip to see if it would fit on our gutters. Unfortunately, our gutters are not compatible. If your gutters are compatible, the gutter mount makes installation super easy! It will save you from having to screw the camera mount and/or solar panel to your house. The camera mount is easy to install; there are 3 small screws. A template is included. It is a no-brainer, and fairly simple. The solar panel swivels. It either screws easily onto the camera or you can separately screw it onto your house. *(it comes with a short power cord if you attach it directly to the camera; a longer cord is included if you need to mount it away from the camera for optimal sunlight. *We had Ring & Arlo cameras before. Charging was a pain! Neither brand came close to the ease & reliability of these. (Note: In fairness, the other brand cameras were older models and we did not have solar panels for either of them.) Pros: -Easy Installation -Easy App Set-Up - Easy to navigate -Super Clear Picture -No need for subscription -Never need to charge battery (if you purchase solar panel) -Able to set camera to film at certain times/days or to only film humans and/or vehicles so animals, bugs, branches, leaves, etc. don't constantly set them off. Say you only want it to film animals, you can select that also. -You can set the camera alarm for specific times/days and activate a loud alarm sound and/or flashing light to go off. *If you accidentally forgot to disarm the alarm, whenever it goes off, a warning appears on your device(s). You can easily tap your screen to disarm it vs. having to anxiously fumble to find the app on your device while it is blaring! Cons: - I honestly can't think of any con! *(FYI: I am not being paid or rewarded in any way for this review.) The only con is that we didn't purchase eufy brand cameras from the very start. And that we didn't spend the extra $ for solar panels! Solar panels make ALL the difference in the world! Having to go up/down a ladder to retrieve and charge cameras was a royal PAIN, not to mention... super inconvenient and dangerous! ------ I will update this message and add video footage soon so that people can see how clear the images are in daytime and nighttime on each camera at multiple locations. (I will include the model of eufy camera we have on our house so people can compare the images between the two models. I think our other cameras are 4k but these S340 cameras are just as good!
