eufy SoloCam S340

Compiled by SmartHomeWorkflow Research · eufy · Cameras & Doorbells · ~$199.99 (eufy.com US list, re-verified 2026-08-12 at $199.99 — unchanged from the 2026-07-19 read, and never treated as a live price. The page showed a members-only $8.00 saving against this list figure; the list price is what is recorded, as before. The price is camera-only with the solar panel integrated, and no base station is required.)

Compatibility

? Inconclusive means we researched that ecosystem and the evidence doesn’t settle it — the catch says why, and the sources are listed below. It is a statement about the available evidence, never a verdict on the product. A Setup Check researches your exact setup where the official sources don’t answer.

Protocols: WIFI^[6]

What it can do^[14]

Some of these may need a paid plan — see Subscription reality below.

Listed capabilities are what we could establish from vendor documentation. An ability missing here is unestablished — not necessarily absent.

Subscription reality^[2][23]

◐ Works without a subscription: Yes. The maker also sells an optional paid plan.

• Free: All local recording to 8GB onboard storage, Live view, On-device AI detection, Offline recording that auto-syncs when the network returns
• Behind a plan: Off-site cloud video backup only (from $15/mo)
• 5-year cost if you add the plan: ~$900 at $15/mo — price verified 2026-09-13

Vendor account required: Not established — we have not sourced this yet.

Recording, live view and person and vehicle detection all work with no plan, and clips are kept on the camera's own 8 GB of storage. eufy also sells an optional Plus membership, $15 a month or $135 a year when we checked in September 2026, that adds 30 days of cloud backup for all eufy devices along with store perks such as faster shipping and rewards.

Maintenance reality^[3]

• Batteries: built-in rechargeable with integrated solar panel
• Works without the internet: Partly — some of it keeps working and some of it does not. See the detail below.^[12]
• Genuinely hub-free — eufy states it 'can work alone. No hubs, bridges, or companion devices required.' A HomeBase S380 is optional and sold separately (bundles from roughly $399.99), adding up to 16TB expandable storage and face recognition.

Security updates^[13]

eufy publishes no security-update support date for this model. That is a gap in what the manufacturer has published, not evidence either way — some makers declare a support period and some say nothing at all.

VERIFIED ABSENCE, earned by walking all three source rungs rather than defaulted, and the walk was split across two runs: rungs (a) and (b) on the seventh grind, rung (c) here. (a) NO per-product regulatory declaration for any eufy model was found by two differently-constructed searches — the bar this catalogue requires before recording any negative — and eufy links none from its own compliance surface. (b) eufy's privacy-commitment page carries a Compliance and Certifications section that names "PSTI Compliance Attestation" and says it "demonstrates that eufy meets stringent cybersecurity requirements outlined in the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (Security Requirements for Relevant Connectable Products) Regulations 2023" — and it links no statement of compliance and names no support period, on a page that details ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27701, ETSI EN 303 645, NISTIR 8425, CSA STAR and ioXt at length. (c) THIS product's own page carries no security-update, end-of-support or patching statement of any kind. ⚠ Said precisely, because the distinction matters: this records that eufy has published no support period we can find for this model. It is NOT a finding about eufy's compliance with any regulation, and nothing here asserts one. ⚠ And it has a shelf life. The UK PSTI regime requires manufacturers to publish a defined support period for products sold there, so vendor silence on this axis is the kind of fact that changes without notice — which is why this record carries a dated recheck rather than being treated as settled. ⊕ Checked on the same page that already backs this record's storage and power facts, so the absence is an absence on a surface eufy uses to answer detailed questions — not on a thin marketing landing page.

The catch

The no-subscription claim holds up better here than in most of the category, because the camera genuinely needs no base station and records to 8GB of onboard storage. The trade is closed ecosystems and a trust history: in early 2023 Anker admitted to press that eufy cameras had sent video streams to its web portal without end-to-end encryption, contradicting earlier marketing. Anker states it has since encrypted portal streams, moved to WebRTC, commissioned third-party audits and launched a HackerOne bug bounty — but it does not claim end-to-end encryption across the board today.

Who it's for

Households that want outdoor coverage with no recurring fee and no hub purchase, are content inside Alexa or Google, and have read the encryption history and accepted it.
