The Eufy E340 and S340 offer many advantages. Both these units have a calibration function that adjusts for position. The movement is smooth and consistent. It is a solid review, and it is nice to know the pros and cons of the product offering.
@SooksVI 8 ай бұрын
The advantages of the S340 work against it for people that need to stream a video feed to a server. This doesn’t allow it, but I think most battery powered cameras don’t allow it.

So glad you mentioned Number one you have to initialize the camera out the router Number two the zoom in lens is not 4K That last one was kind of a deal-breaker That doesn't make sense, cuz I zoom in because I need detail like license plate Etc Excellent review

You don't need to plug it into the router first anymore. I've literally just set one up today and all I needed to do was log into the Reolink app and scan the QR code on the top. Select WiFi and then once I tell it which wifi to connect to it was all connected. So easy.

I've thought of getting a PTZ camera purely just for the novelty of having a PTZ camera, living on a terraced street I think the locals would get a bit suspicious of such a camera, so for now I'm just sticking with fixed-position chinese specials, though not getting on well with the WiFi one I have on my uncle's house next door despite using external antennas hooked up to the router, I put that down to crap wifi modules in the camera though... :P

I may well have to set up a local viewer I can look at remotely. I can get a smart vpn link working direct to my router, so I can get 'into' my home LAN.

That was good review David, covered the product well. Can you have a look for a system of cameras suitable for a car + camper trailer? Multiple cameras need to work directly with a phone or a tablet, they need to be fast - don't want to run into the car behind me then see me run into the car behind me, and they need to be smallish to fit in tight/discrete spots. They can be PoE with a central doodad, but the video needs to be delivered via WiFi to the phone.

Great review. Thanks! 2 questions, can the wide angle lense be zoomed in at all on the app? Also, is this able to power JUST by the 12 volt transformer? Or does it absolutely Need POE as well? I think I heard you say that it only needs to be hooked up to your router for the initial install, and then after it's setup that it runs only on the 12 volt transformer. Is that correct? Thanks again! How do you like that camera so far? Is the quality really good?
@DavidMcLuckie 2 жыл бұрын
Android and PC app both zoom in on wide, pinch on the app and mouse wheel on the desktop. The WiFi version just needs the power adaptor, network cable only for initial setup. So far it's been performing well. Only two gripes are the jerky PTZ tracking, and it moving off it's home location and needing recalibrated periodically.

Hi David! How is your camera doing after a year of being exposed on all weather conditions? I'm would like to buy one fix it to similar sort of high pole but not sure about weather reliability. Currenty have one fixed under the roof and running OK since April, only thing I can complaint is returning to 'monitor point' (happens once week but calibration sorts problem out). Cheers!
@DavidMcLuckie 9 ай бұрын
Still working fine. But the failure to return to monitor point is an irritation. I was hoping they would include an option to automatically have it calibrate itself at a set time, or after a set period every day. The jerky motion of the camera itself upsets the calibration, as does strong wind up on the pole. The only other thing is the two-way audio is really only one way. Up on the pole I can hear sounds, but I can't make out talking, and no one can hear any intelligible voice from the camera.
