eufy SoloCam S340 Security Camera | 2nd Gen | Manufacturer Renewed (Excellent Condition)
Two cameras.
One siren.Never misses the play.
The eufy SoloCam S340 (Gen 2) is not a security camera so much as a two-camera outside broadcast bolted to your fence. A 3K wide lens holds the whole ground. A 2K telephoto with 8× hybrid zoom goes in tight on the bloke at your gate. It pans, it tilts, and once it has locked onto something it follows the play until the play leaves the field.
Straight up: this one has been on the ground before.
This is a Manufacturer Renewed unit. It was owned, it was returned, and it went back through the manufacturer's own renewal programme — that is where the refurbishment and testing happened, not here. Graded Excellent, it presents close to new: you might find light handling marks if you go looking in good light, and that is about the size of it. It arrives in plain renewed (non-retail) packaging, not the printed retail carton. If you would rather pay less and wear visible scuffs, we run the same camera in Grade: Good as a separate listing.
The numbers, up on the big screen
Every figure below is off eufy's own published specification for the SoloCam S340. Where eufy does not publish a number, we have not invented one — see the umpire review further down.
2880 × 1620 across a 135° field of view. That is the whole ground in one shot.
2304 × 1296 on the second lens, with hybrid 8× zoom for the tight shot.
eufy's spec sheet reads 355° horizontal, 70° vertical. eufy rounds the pan to 360° in its own marketing.
eufy's stated figure. A wider aperture means more light reaching the sensor after dark.
Plus a motion-activated 100-lumen spotlight. Both trigger from the app or from detection.
Built-in eMMC. No monthly fee for local recording, and no cloud subscription needed.
Adjustable and removable, and attached to every unit we sell. eufy says two hours of direct sun a day keeps it running.
eufy's standalone battery figure with the panel taken out of the equation entirely.
Four angles, one camera
A director cuts between cameras. The S340 does it with two lenses and a motor, which is why a single unit covers ground that normally takes three fixed cameras and a lot of ladder work.
The wide shot
The establishing shot every broadcast opens on. 3K across 135° means the driveway, the side gate and the bins are all in one frame instead of three. eufy puts usable detail at eight metres out on this lens.
The tight shot
The second lens is the one in the coach's box with the binoculars. 2K with hybrid 8× zoom, and eufy's own claim is faces and number plates readable at fifteen metres. Wide tells you something happened. Zoom tells you who.
Following the play
This is the spider-cam. eufy's wording: once a target is detected and identified, the camera keeps it in sight for however long it stays in the area. On-device AI separates motion, people and vehicles, so the wind in the poinciana does not get its own highlights package.
The night game
Colour night vision rather than the grey infrared wash, backed by a motion-activated 100-lumen spotlight and a 90dB siren you can also fire manually from the app. Two-way audio carries about nine metres (30 ft) by eufy's figure, so you can talk to whoever is out there.
Two callers, one camera
Umpire review: the honest bit
Every listing we write has one of these. It is where we send the decision upstairs on the things a glossy product page tends to skip.
This unit was used before you got it
Manufacturer Renewed means exactly that. It went out, it came back, and the manufacturer's renewal programme is what put it right. Graded Excellent, it should read as near-new — but light handling marks are possible and we would rather say so now than have you find one on the veranda. Packaging is plain renewed packaging, not the retail carton.
We do not publish an IP rating for it
You will find IP65 and IP67 quoted for this camera all over the internet, by different sellers, for the same model. eufy's own specification sheet does not print an IP number — it says weather protection: yes, and gives an operating range of −20°C to 50°C. So that is what we print. We are not going to pick whichever number sounds better.
8GB on board, and there is no card slot
Storage is 8GB of built-in eMMC. There is no microSD slot on the S340, so you cannot simply drop in a 128GB card. If you want a deeper archive, that is the job of a HomeBase 3 — optional, sold separately, not in this box.
2.4GHz Wi-Fi only
No 5GHz. If your router runs a single merged network name across both bands, you may need to split it or temporarily disable 5GHz to get through setup. Annoying, common to most battery cameras, and worth knowing before you are up a ladder.
Solar needs actual sun on it
eufy's figure is two hours of direct sunlight a day to keep it topped up indefinitely. Under a deep eave, in permanent shade or behind a mango tree, it will not get there and you will be charging it by hand. Point the panel north and give it sky.
Pet detection is not on the camera
On its own, the S340's local AI covers motion, human and vehicle detection. eufy's pet detection comes from adding a HomeBase 3 with its BionicMind processing. Standalone, you get the first three.
Nothing above is a reason not to buy it. It is the stuff we would want told to us, so we tell you.
The sponsor boards
Everything on the boards is something we can actually stand behind if you ask us to.
Genuine eufy stock, imported by us
CamGuard Australia is an independent importer. We bring the stock in ourselves, which is how a renewed S340 lands here at a sane price instead of a retail one.
Graded before it is listed, not after you complain
Excellent and Good are separate listings at separate prices. You pick the grade, you see what you are paying for, and nobody has to argue about it after delivery.
Out the door in one business day
Packed and lodged from Townsville, North Queensland, within one business day of your order. Australia Post Express is included on every order over $99.00.
A 12-month warranty that is ours
Not a manufacturer warranty — a CamGuard Australia warranty, in-house, for twelve months, on top of your Australian Consumer Law rights. If it is faulty or not as described inside that window, we cover the return postage.
Named side, in jumper order
Every line here comes from eufy's published specification for the SoloCam S340. Anything eufy does not publish is not on the sheet.
Score review: will it work with what you own?
Goal, behind, or no goal. Three verdicts, no ambiguity.
Yes — straight through the big sticks
- Works completely on its own. No hub, no bridge, no companion device required.
- eufy Security app on iOS and Android.
- 2.4 GHz home Wi-Fi.
- Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
- Optional HomeBase 3 (S380) if you already have one — it adds central storage and eufy's BionicMind processing.
- Mixing it into an existing eufy setup alongside other eufy cameras.
Note — touched the post, read this
- 2.4 GHz only. Merged 2.4/5 GHz network names can block setup until you split them.
- Pet detection needs a HomeBase 3; the camera alone does motion, human and vehicle.
- A HomeBase 3 is an optional extra — it is not included here and is not required.
- Solar output depends entirely on where you mount it. Deep shade means hand-charging.
No — ball did not cross the line
- No microSD card slot. Storage is the built-in 8 GB, full stop.
- No 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
- It is not a HomeBase 2 or HomeBase Mini camera — those older hubs are not the pairing path for this model.
- No HomeBase, power adapter or extension cable is included in this listing.
Who should be on the park, and who should stay on the pine
- 1You want a factory-sealed retail box with all the printed inserts. This is renewed stock in plain packaging — that is the whole reason it costs what it does.
- 2You need weeks of continuous recorded archive on the camera itself. 8 GB with no card slot is not that.
- 3Your Wi-Fi is 5 GHz only, or your router will not let you separate the bands.
- 4The only mounting spot you have is in permanent shade and you do not want to hand-charge a camera.
- 5You want a manufacturer warranty specifically. Ours is an in-house CamGuard warranty — good, but not eufy's.
- 6You are running a HomeBase 2 or HomeBase Mini and expected this camera to join it.
- 1You have one awkward area — a long driveway, a corner block, a wide rural gate — that a fixed camera keeps half-missing.
- 2You want the wide shot and the identifying close-up from one device instead of buying two cameras.
- 3You have no power outlet where the camera needs to go and plenty of Queensland sun where it does.
- 4You are done with monthly subscriptions and want recording on the device.
- 5You want near-new condition without paying near-new money, and plain packaging does not bother you.
- 6You already run eufy gear and want another camera in the same app.
From carton to live feed
No electrician, no cabling, no drilling through a wall for a power lead. Four quarters and a siren.
Charge it up
Bring the battery up before you mount anything. Renewed units arrive part-charged at best, and it is far easier to do this on the kitchen bench than on a ladder.
Pair it in the app
Install the eufy Security app, add the device, and join it to your 2.4 GHz network. If your router merges both bands under one name, split them first — it will save you twenty minutes.
Mount it and aim the panel
Pick a spot with a clear view of the ground you care about, then angle the solar panel at open sky. eufy's target is two hours of direct sun a day. North-facing, clear of eaves and branches.
Set the angles
Choose your detection zones, set the activity zones and the tracking behaviour, decide whether the spotlight and siren trigger automatically, and check the night view once it is properly dark.
Siren sounds — you are live. Walk the yard once and watch the feed on your phone. That is the fastest way to find the one angle you want to nudge before you forget about it for a year.
