Enjoy both PTZ flexibility and fixed-cam reliability with the eufyCam S4 One of the hardest jobs of a smart camera is managing to capture everything you want to protect, while also not having so wide a field of view that you miss out on all the important detail. With the eufyCam S4, that’s pulled off by combining a 130-degree wide-angle 4K camera with a pan-tilt-zoom head with dual 2K cameras of its own.
The S4 uses a combination of radar and passive infrared to detect motion, and once a subject of interest is confirmed by the wide camera, the PTZ cam zooms in and follows as long as it’s within view. So instead of package thieves not setting off alerts until they’re right at your door, the idea is that the S4 can spot them even from the edge of your driveway. And as you’d only expect in 2025, AI helps differentiate between trespassers like that, and vehicles or pets.
With a 5.5W solar panel, the S4 can keep running indefinitely with only about an hour a day of direct sunlight, but the camera’s also ready to keep your home secure all night long, aided by 4 LED spotlights.
You’ll be able to take home the eufyCam S4 for just about $300 for a single camera, but also look out for bundle deals featuring multiple cameras and local network storage.
