Anker Prepares to Launch The eufyCam S4 Camera with Solar Panel

Anker’s smart home brand, Eufy, is getting ready to release a new outdoor security camera called the eufyCam S4.

This device, with model number T8172, brings together a mix of features aimed at making home monitoring easier and more reliable.

It comes shortly after Eufy introduced other cameras like the PoE Cam E41 and the SoloCam E42.

The eufyCam S4 will come with a two-in-one design.

The top camera is a 4K camera that covers a range of 130 degrees from left to right.

On the bottom, there is a 2K camera that covers a range of 70 degrees top to bottom.

Together, these two lenses make sure that no corner is missed, whether you want a wide look at your yard or a closer view of what is happening on the ground.

To help detect movement, the camera uses two Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors along with a radar sensor.

There’s also a light sensor that adjusts the camera to different lighting conditions.

For nighttime use, the eufyCam S4 has four built-in LED spotlights that make it possible to capture colour video even in the dark.

A microphone and speaker allow for two-way talk, so users can communicate directly with visitors or warn off strangers.

To distinguish different objects, people, and pets, the eufyCam S4 comes with powerful AI features that help execute this task.

When paired with the S380 HomeBase 3, the system also offers facial recognition for added security.

To scare off intruders, the camera is equipped with a loud 105-decibel siren and flashing strobe lights.

The camera can run on a rechargeable battery, and leaked images suggest it will include a detachable 5.5-inch solar panel to keep it charged.

There is also provision for a wired setup for customers who do not want the capturing of footage to be interrupted.

Video recordings can be saved locally on a microSD card with up to 256 GB of storage.

The device will also support Fusion Link, which allows transmission of footage over a range of up to 1.25 miles.

Although Anker has not confirmed a release date, reports suggest the eufyCam S4 will cost around €299 in Europe.

Bundles with the HomeBase 3, such as a package with two cameras and the base station, could be priced at €699.

A US launch is expected soon, but local pricing remains unknown.
