eufy SoloCam S340 Security Camera | 2nd Gen | Manufacturer Renewed (Good Condition)
The pictures are perfect.The paintwork has been to a few games.
Same eufy SoloCam S340 (Gen 2). Same 3K wide lens, same 2K telephoto with 8× hybrid zoom, same motor that pans and tilts to follow whatever walked into your yard. The only difference between this listing and our Excellent one is the housing: this camera carries visible cosmetic wear — scuffs and light scratches you will notice without hunting for them. It works perfectly. It just looks like it has played a season.
Let us roll the tape on the condition first.
This is a Manufacturer Renewed unit. It was owned before, it was returned, and the manufacturer's own renewal programme is where the refurbishment and testing happened — not here. We have graded this one Good, and Good means exactly what it sounds like: visible cosmetic wear. Expect scuffing, marked plastics and light scratches on the housing or the solar panel frame. What you should not expect is any effect on how it works — the lenses, the motor, the spotlight, the siren and the battery all do their jobs. It arrives in plain renewed (non-retail) packaging. If you want the tidier-looking one, we list the same camera as Grade: Excellent separately, at a higher price.
Cosmetics do not appear on the stat sheet
These are eufy's published figures for the SoloCam S340, and they are identical on a Good unit and an Excellent one. A scratch on a housing does not change a lens. Where eufy publishes no number, we publish none either.
2880 × 1620 across 135°. Unchanged by a scuffed housing, because it is a lens.
2304 × 1296 on the second lens, hybrid 8× zoom. This is the identifying shot.
eufy's spec sheet says 355° horizontal and 70° vertical. eufy rounds the pan to 360° in its own marketing.
eufy's figure. Wider aperture, more light reaching the sensor after dark.
Loud is loud regardless of grade. Paired with a motion-activated 100-lumen spotlight.
Built-in eMMC. No monthly fee for local recording, no cloud subscription required.
Adjustable, removable, and attached to this unit. Its frame is the part most likely to show marks.
eufy's standalone figure with the panel taken out of the equation entirely.
Four angles, one slightly battered camera
A director cuts between cameras to tell the story. The S340 does it with two lenses and a motor. None of the four angles below care what the outside of the housing looks like.
The wide shot
The one every broadcast opens on. 3K over a 135° field of view puts the driveway, the side gate and the bins in a single frame instead of asking you to buy three cameras. eufy puts usable detail at eight metres on this lens.
The tight shot
The second lens is the one up 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 did it.
Following the play
Your spider-cam. eufy's wording: once a target is detected and identified, the camera keeps it in sight for however long it remains within the area. The on-device AI separates motion from people from vehicles, so the mango tree does not get its own highlights package.
The night game
Colour night vision rather than the grey infrared wash, plus a motion-activated 100-lumen spotlight and a 90dB siren you can also trigger by hand from the app. Two-way audio carries about nine metres (30 ft) by eufy's figure. In the dark, nobody can see the scuffs anyway.
Two callers, one veteran
Umpire review: the honest bit
Every listing we write has one of these. On a Good-grade unit it matters more than usual, so it is longer than usual.
This unit was used, and it looks it
Manufacturer Renewed means previously owned, returned, and put right through the manufacturer's own renewal programme. Graded Good, this one carries visible cosmetic wear — scuffs, marked plastics, light scratches on the housing and possibly the solar panel frame. Not hairline marks you need good light to find; marks you will see when you unwrap it. That is the deal, and it is why it is cheaper than our Excellent listing.
Cosmetic, not functional
Good is a grade about appearance. The camera works properly: both lenses, the pan and tilt motor, the spotlight, the siren, the battery and the solar panel all do what eufy says they do. If yours does not, that is a warranty job, not a grading question — see the boundary rider's report below.
We do not publish an IP rating for it
Different sellers quote IP65 and IP67 for this same model. eufy's own specification does not print an IP number at all — it says weather protection: yes, with an operating range of −20°C to 50°C. So that is what we print. We are not going to pick whichever figure sells better.
8GB on board, and no card slot
Storage is 8GB of built-in eMMC. The S340 has no microSD slot, so you cannot expand it with a card. A deeper archive is what an optional HomeBase 3 is for — sold separately, not included, not required.
2.4GHz Wi-Fi only
No 5GHz band. If your router publishes one merged network name across both bands, you may need to split them or briefly turn 5GHz off to complete setup. Common to almost every battery camera, and much easier to deal with before you are up a ladder.
The solar panel needs real sun
eufy's figure is two hours of direct sunlight a day for continuous power. Under a deep eave, in permanent shade or behind a tree it will not get there, and you will be bringing it inside to charge. Give the panel open northern sky.
Pet detection is not on the camera itself
Standalone, the S340's local AI does motion, human and vehicle detection. eufy's pet detection comes from pairing it with a HomeBase 3 and its BionicMind processing. On its own you get the first three.
You are buying a camera that looks second-hand and performs like the spec sheet. If that trade is not for you, take the Excellent listing instead — no hard feelings.
The sponsor boards
Nothing goes on the boards unless we could show you where it came from.
Two grades, two prices, no blurring
We could photograph a Good unit from its best angle and call it near-new. We split them into separate listings instead, so you know which one you are buying and what it costs.
Genuine eufy stock, imported by us
CamGuard Australia is an independent importer. We bring the stock in ourselves, which is the only reason a dual-lens tracking camera lands at this price at all.
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, twelve months, on top of your Australian Consumer Law rights. Faulty or not as described inside that window and we cover the return postage.
Named side, in jumper order
Straight off eufy's published specification for the SoloCam S340. Identical to the Excellent listing, because the grade describes the housing, not the hardware.
Score review: will it work with what you own?
Goal, behind or no goal. Same three verdicts as the Excellent listing, because compatibility does not care about scratches.
Yes — through the big sticks
- Runs completely on its own. No hub, bridge or 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 own one — adds central storage and eufy's BionicMind processing.
- Sitting alongside other eufy cameras in the same app.
Note — hit the post, read this
- 2.4 GHz only. A merged 2.4/5 GHz network name can stall setup until you split it.
- Pet detection needs a HomeBase 3; the camera on its own does motion, human and vehicle.
- A HomeBase 3 is an optional extra — not included here, not required here.
- Solar output depends entirely on where you mount it. Permanent shade means hand-charging.
- Cosmetic wear is visible. If the camera sits somewhere people look at closely, factor that in.
No — did not cross the line
- No microSD card slot. Storage is the built-in 8 GB and that is the lot.
- No 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
- 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 take the field, and who should sit this one out
- 1Appearance matters. If the camera is going somewhere visitors stand and look at it, a scuffed housing will bother you. Take the Excellent listing.
- 2You are buying it as a gift. Plain renewed packaging plus visible wear is a hard unwrap in front of someone.
- 3You want a factory-sealed retail box with all the printed inserts. This is renewed stock, plainly packed.
- 4You need weeks of continuous archive stored on the camera. 8 GB with no card slot is not that.
- 5Your Wi-Fi is 5 GHz only, or your router will not let you separate the bands.
- 6You want a manufacturer warranty specifically. Ours is an in-house CamGuard warranty — good, but not eufy's.
- 7You are running a HomeBase 2 or HomeBase Mini and assumed this camera would join it.
- 1The camera is going four metres up on a pole, a shed wall or a rural gatepost where nobody will ever be close enough to see a scratch.
- 2You would rather put the saving toward a second camera than toward a tidier housing.
- 3You have one awkward area — long driveway, corner block, wide gate — that a fixed camera keeps half-missing.
- 4You want the wide shot and the identifying close-up out of one device instead of buying two.
- 5There is no power outlet where the camera needs to go, and plenty of Queensland sun where it does.
- 6You are finished with monthly subscriptions and want recording on the device.
- 7You already run eufy gear and want another camera in the same app.
From carton to live feed
No electrician, no cabling, no drilling a wall for a power lead. Four quarters and a siren.
Charge it, then look it over
Bring the battery up on the bench before you go anywhere near a ladder. While it charges, give the housing a wipe and check the wear against what we described. If it does not match this listing, stop and message us — that is a not-as-described claim, and it is on us.
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 before you start. Twenty minutes saved.
Mount it high and aim the panel
Height does two jobs on a Good-grade unit: it gives the lenses a better view, and it puts the cosmetics well out of eyeline. Then angle the solar panel at open sky — eufy's target is two hours of direct sun a day.
Set the angles
Pick your detection zones, set the activity zones and tracking behaviour, decide whether the spotlight and siren fire automatically, and check the night view once it is genuinely dark rather than just dim.
Siren sounds — you are live. Walk the yard once with the feed open on your phone. It is the fastest way to find the one angle you will otherwise wish you had nudged, and then forget about for a year.
What is actually in the bag

Item specifics
We'll be right back after the break
Two lenses, a motor, a spotlight and a siren, running off a panel that only asks for two hours of Queensland sun a day — in a housing that has already been out in a few of them. Renewed, graded Good, described before you buy rather than after, and out of Townsville within one business day. eufy's own Australian store lists the SoloCam S340 at $449.95 at the time of writing. This one has the scuffs to prove it has been somewhere, and the price to match.
