The Eufy SoloCam S340 is designed for individuals who want complete control over their home’s security without a monthly subscription commitment. Now $223.99 at Walmart, down from $349.99, which is about $55 cheaper than Amazon’s current price of $279.98 (and an all-time low, according to price trackers), this outdoor home security camera delivers 3K resolution, 360-degree coverage, and solar-powered operation. Its two-lens setup captures both wide-angle and zoomed-in footage with surprising clarity. You can easily mount it anywhere—the solar panel connects via a 10-foot USB-C cable or sits neatly on top—so setup is as simple as picking a spot. As our reviewer put it in her review, “choosing where to put the SoloCam S340 will be the hardest part of installing it.”

Design-wise, the camera looks as sturdy as it feels. The IP67-rated weatherproof housing makes it safe for all seasons, and the motorized base allows 360-degree horizontal panning and 70-degree vertical tilt. That flexibility gives you full yard or driveway coverage, and you can control the view remotely through the Eufy Security app, complete with a virtual joystick and preset “stations” for quick repositioning. The dual-lens setup means you can see both the big picture and fine details you’d normally miss, like the license plate of a passing car or a squirrel raiding your plants. Color night vision and a built-in spotlight make low-light monitoring surprisingly clear, while two-way audio lets you talk through the camera in real time.

What do you think so far?

Everything saves locally, thanks to onboard storage or the included HomeBase 3 hub, which can hold up to 16TB via USB. That means you get smart motion detection, human and vehicle alerts, and full access to recordings without ever paying a monthly subscription fee. That said, there are a few things to consider. It doesn’t support Apple HomeKit or Matter, and clip loading and live feed access can occasionally lag, especially from a distance. But paired with Alexa or Google Assistant, it’s still easy to manage hands-free, notes this PCMag review.
